The latest and greatest deviations in my gallery. (Okay, maybe not so much greatest, but, still...!)

Bonds

Genre: High Fantasy

Rated: PG for action violence and brief graphic images.

Brief Synopsis: Half-demon prince Falcon's life takes a terrible turn when his entire family is massacred in a single night. The young boy is taken under-wing by his full-demon uncle, who isn't fond of children. While struggling with his grief and anger, Falcon is forced to deal with the sudden conflict across B'korba when he befriends a demon whose ages-old altercation with the god of contention brings the same god's wrath down on the heads of Falcon, his uncle, and the whole of demonkind.

The Demon's Game

Genre: Science Fantasy

Rated: PG for action violence, intensity and brief graphic images.

Brief Synopsis: When the demon Rishay escapes from Hell's lowest level, his only goal is to destroy Death--slowly, over time--for placing Rishay in Hell one century before. The council of Heaven sends Death to quickly recapture the demon and put him back where he belongs, but it seems Death almost wants to be punished. Desperate to resolve things, the council enlists the aid of a mortal woman who can see demonic auras, and Death's long-time rival, Life. Unfortunately this seems to be exactly what Rishay had in mind from the start.

Prayers Needed + Updates

UPDATE #3: /July 11, 2009
Landon was finally moved from intensive-care to pediatrics last night, and he went downhill quite a lot, but today he seems much improved. Hopefully he'll continue to go up from here. I'm finally going to be able to visit him tomorrow (he's two hours away, and I've been without a car). I'm really excited; so is he, as the whole family will be there at once. Maybe seeing us all there together will help him to improve even more. Please keep praying for him.


UPDATE #2: /July 8, 2009
Landon has come out of surgery now, and is in ICU. His appendix had ruptured, and he has at least of quart of puss in his body. He'll be under close observation in the hospital for at least a week. Hopefully he'll pull through; he's made of really tough stuff. It's still very serious. The doctor said he's, "one very sick little boy." But we have faith he'll be fine.

Thank you again to everyone for your concern, thoughts, prayers and support. Every little bit helps and is appreciated.

UPDATE #1:
My brother is currently in surgery. They're afraid his appendix may have already burst. We'll know more around 1:00 PM Pacific Time. He's being such a brave boy about all this; he was even joking with the doctors, bless him.

ORIGINAL POST:
Last night my ten-year-old brother was rushed to the hospital with suspected appendicitis. He took sick very recently, and we originally thought it was the flu. Apparently it's not. He's undergone a CAT scan, and so far the doctors can't determine exactly what's wrong. We won't know for sure until we speak with the surgeon, but the hospital staff seems to feel exploratory surgery might be in order.

I feel pretty calm, and the family, including my sick brother, is handling this well, but we do have to wonder when this is all going to end. It's been pouring on us now, constantly, for two years. My sister taking ill, my dog being shot, then the house fire, and now this. I'm not cracking, believe me. But my parents are certainly feeling the strain, and we're just hoping soon the rain will stop for us, just for a bit of a reprieve. However, I know God has a purpose in all things.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, or anything like that. Heaven knows we've received more support than we could hope for. But I'm asking for your prayers, anyway, because my little brother needs them.

I'll keep you all posted, as I learn what's going to happen.

Ciao,
Hikari

I have been a writer since I was twelve, but I've been a storyteller all my life. Twenty-two moves through my youth gave me ample opportunities to see the world, experience people and cultivate a highly (sometimes overly) active imagination; thus, the fantasy genre called out to me, demanding my attention. Story ideas haunt me in the night. Characters demand birth. And I love every disturbing moment of it.
