From the beginning of the Sureal series, back in the JMMB, there was nothing like it.. once in a while I will still go back and fight my way through the ruins of that board, taking the long way through everything, battleing the falling shards of thread and links, just to read it over. The only other story that I was in that ever seemed actually real to me was Cobra's unfinished Akeldama. I was the bad guy..*evil cackle* Ahh, those were the good old days... If someone doesn't maim Kovu for life or something I think he's doomed to write sequel after sequel until death doth part us. Heheh.. but anyway. Thats beside the subject. I'm supposed to be writing an introduction here.

Um.

I guess I kinda lost my train of thought there... but, a-anyway..

The first Sureal, the Quest of the Carrotus Emerald or whatever it was called, was brilliant. I think despite how much I loved the third one, this might of been my favorite maybe bcause of all the character development or something? But I liked the way Tyio was introduced and kept fighting evil and all that, which came back in later after we'd all thought he'd conquered it, in that Lunatek stuff. Was that in the fourth one..? I guess I haven't read them enough And of course the odd twist that he was a demon. Sort of. And never mind all those groovy characters in the first story, what with Zera and Nairen and the whole lot of US, Kovey and meeee and Dazz Darkrabbit and whatsisname(defalcon?) and Kayle and Aldan and those other two, and then going into the next ones he finally got Blackie mixed up in the whole mess. Was Blizzy ever in it?I found a quote in the Odyssey, for which you really have to have a broad mind to even think about associating the story to it, but it goes like this:



So he lifted the keel of that ship, and in her wake

an indigo wave hissed and roiled

As she ran straight ahead, not even a falcon

Lord of the Skies, could have matched her pace..



See, well I kinda pictured the ship being the story, and...oh never mind.

When Kove got to the much awaited third part whateveritwascalled, Sands of something, it was short but I liked it best. It was the most emotional, and all that. As some of you might know my favorite movies next to action/adventure are sad ones. I don't know if any of you have ever read Lloyd Alexanders books but anyway he has this unique funny way of kind of intertwining romance in a really inane, blunt, funny, backgrounded way with everything and its perfect, and I don't know HOW Kove did that but he did, I mean it wasn't quite as funny more then in the distance and quiet but it was like, perfect. I don't like romance(as Blackie could tell you if you were that curious) at all and the only time I EVER liked it in a movie was The Patriot, but anyway Kovu was just FABulous about the whole thing, even though I had no idea what he was talking about until sometime early in March, I believe when Black kindly tried to explain it all to me..but thats also beside the subject. Eheh, Ive been babbleing haven't I.

Well, I wasn't sure when I was supposed to post this, what with Kovey off gallavanting in the nether regions, so I'll just..post it..

What can I say? I have a great latin quote but I don't know how to spell it.



I give you Sureal V, Apokallyipsis!
