Re: Unknown's Blank Page
Hey, always nice to have visitors. =)
Heh, and I do know what you mean actually. Might be partly because I tried doing a fuller scene rather than the character alone, but there's a certain uncertain difference between them. (does that line make any sense? >_> )
Always the chance that a loose roofing tile of inspiration will hit me and more shall occur. Who knows. Though now I think about it I've got things I could share that I never actually got round to showing here anyway. Kinda forgot I hadn't already. Think I'll make a point to fix that tomorrow. Expect dancing gif animations! I never finished that dream story I mentioned either... hmm...
Well, before I go to bed, I shall post up another journal entry I've done since. A very short one this, unrelated to the events occurring in the first two. It's not always about spiritual stuff. It just is so far.
(unwritten adjacent entries around this one would imply that Flynn is currently on Earth whilst writng this.)
Ghost Fire
I encountered a free spirit today, a small ghost fire. A will o' the wisp or hitodama, as some cultures called them. I see these all the time, normally quite unremarkable, but this one is somewhat unique as far as such simple entities go. For a start, it has been following me for over a week now. These most basic forms of spirit tend to stick to single locations, or drift aimlessly in a fixed path. But this one has been showing decidedly deliberate behaviours. It follows me closely, and stops moving if I look at it. Secondly, it not only has a more concentrated amount of spirit than normal for it's kind, but a far more developed soul than any other. I cannot determine whether it is properly self aware, but I'm quite certain there are at least animalistic thought patterns at work behind it's actions. Normally a free spirit possessing this level of energy and structure would be quite capable of assuming different forms and manifesting in certain ways, yet this one remains in it's primitive form.
(Continued)
The tiny spirit is still following me. It pulses slightly when talked to. Whether or not it can understand me is another question, but it most definitely knows it is being addressed. I have concluded that there is most likely a fair degree of intelligence present within it, though such an existence must be quite a solitary experience. In a way, I can see a little of myself in this creature. It moves gradually through a daunting world, observing things far beyond it's own abilities. It does not interfere or make itself known, but watches the lives of others from the side. I have to wonder how it came to be like this. Perhaps slowly degrading from a more powerful spirit, though that wouldn't explain why with it's current level of energy it remains in this form. Though strange, it seems as if it may have actually developed over time, starting off as a mere lesser gathering of energies. It is time for me to move on now, but I think I shall make a point to track down and visit this unusual growing soul again sometime in the future.
