It chapter two is a movie based off the book by Stephen King released in 1986, i chose this move because I liked how Pennywise strategized his kills and manipulates his victims. I chose this movie as my mentor text because it is one of my favorite movies and the plot is very interesting. I wanted to write a story based off plot of the movie. I liked the way that King slowly built up the plot of the story and i wanted to recreate the slow build up.

 

See how i drive down the straight road ahead

Me and you side by side

Ride past the cars of different colors as the sun sets

Out of the town we used to call home where people

Of all race, gender and ethnicity were “welcome”

The sirens wailing behinds us

Sunset colors somehow making your eyes more beautiful

On the empty highway, we speed past every tree,

Your hair is like winter fire, flowing in the wind,

Color red and blue flashing behind us, but we keep going, 

TV alerts of us in every house of the town,

Screen doors sliding open and angry parents shaking their fists st us, yet your eyes are on me, the little specks of blue catch my eye.

An old temple has a chance to be found if the party wanders outside of city bounds at the city of Weiste. The temple is surrounded by ruins, like it used to be part of Weiste. That part of the city was ambushed and destroyed in an uprising, the temple had a protection spell placed upon it, that spell has worn off, which leaves the temple to be in its current state. The structures are located to the south of the Weiste wall. The well outside the temple supplies fresh water to the party, as well as a place to rest

 

As you gaze down the ridge  you see a structure resembling what looks like a place of worship, for which deity, you’re unsure. The building is in ruin, stained glass windows and crystal embellishments decorate the outside walls of the temple. Vines and other plants wind around the cracks and imperfections of each wall. Scattered around the base of the tower, are remnants of other buildings, now resembling small towers and walls. Inside the temple looks as run down and abandoned as its exterior. Positioned at the end of the main hall, is a perfectly preserved altar, with offerings spread across it, in pristine condition. The room contains an aura of magic, as if there is another presence, yet nobody is in sight. 

 

The temple is occupied by a mage under a youth spell. She has medium length black hair, her hands are covered in what looks like soot, bleeding down her arms. As a result of her dark magic, she looks human, yet some of her features appear distorted or abnormal.

 

When performing a successful perception check inside the temple. You can see the altar covered in runes, worshiping a goddess of luck and fertility. The offerings consist of food, crystals, potions, herbs, and other magic items. If the party chooses to loot the altar, then the mage who inhabits the temple will show herself. She will ask the party what their business is at her temple, if they decide to negotiate, she has potential to become an ally to the party. 

If the party chooses to initiate combat

Her combat stats and saving throws

If the party can successfully defeat her, they gain the loot from the altar, bu they must return back to the main city bounds.

 

Welcome to Never Ending, where I give advice and lay out my everyday thoughts.  I’m your host, Lina Liu, and in today’s episode, we’re going to explore something that has been festering in my mind for a while now.  High school friendships.  As a Junior who’s about to be a senior, I’ve found a trend among myself and my peers.  It’s that we all get close to someone and then suddenly, we stop being friends with them.  I was in this cycle where I found it hard to trust someone based on my past friendships and this made it really hard for me to make friends who I can form a genuine connection with.  In the past 3 years of being a high schooler, I’ve had my fair share of failed friendships and I just wanted to share how I found a group of people that I can call my best friends and how you can do the same.

I had never really listened to Billie Eilish’s music until my friend invited me to her concert. I had walked into the concert not knowing much about her or her music. I walked out knowing i found a artist that I can relate to more than any other artist I had listened to. To this day, Billie Eilish is one of my favorite artists, her music just gets me and is something I listen to to get me out of anything or place that i feel like i need to get away from.

We’re Different Now by Jenna Phillips

 

I saw you across the room, every sign is a sign for me

I will love you to the moon and back, hate that i’m in this deep

I said the words you couldn’t say, took my peace and redesigned 

When you want someone let me know before i’m left undefined

 

I tried to hide it from myself

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

I made you more, it let me down

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

 

I’ve been staring at the ceiling, also been in outer space

How long do i stay here cause i’ve been feeling out of place

And apparently it’s crazy when my quiet gets too loud

So i’m breathing cause it’s all that i’m supposed to do now

 

I tried to hide it from myself

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

I made you more, it let me down

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

 

I’d be your best friend, there when your world ends

You’re all i wanted but I’m alone, alone again

I don’t want to talk about it, i just want to be with you

But maybe i wasn’t made to

 

We were never perfect, our spark is no longer lit

But nothing makes a room emptier than wanting you in it

You don’t look for my face in the crowd like I do for you

And maybe you weren’t made to

 

I tried to hide it from myself

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

I made you more, it let me down

I can’t pretend, we’re different now

 

I tried to hide, it can’t be done

I knew you once, we’re different now

I made you mine, it let me down

Its for the best, you’re different now
