Tales of Destiny: Secret Linian Man (Carlos “Rain” Morales)
Posted on April 18, 2011 Leave a Comment
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1988
The music wasn’t loud enough in Carlos Morales’s headphones to avoid the sound of the torrential downpour. The rain was rattling all around the bus carrying the future soldiers down the busy highway. Carlos tried to keep his eyes shut trying to ignore the impatience growing inside his mind. He knew that there was nothing he could do about it at this point. All he could do was hope to ignore his…needs.
This was the first time he made a trip to the mainland of the United States. He grew up in Puerto Rico all of his life, raised by his mother and the memory of a father who also served in the military. Carlos turned up the volume on his cd player, his black, short-cropped hair seemingly swaying to the heavy metal music. He thought he heard somebody speaking to him, so he had to power down the Megadeth.
But just a little bit.
Tales of Destiny: Linian Girl (Karen Weathers)

Piersdale High School, New Jersey 1994
The cafeteria was unusually cold today in Karen’s mind. It was almost the end of May and the noisy lunchroom still felt like Siberia on steroids. Karen was sitting at the end of a lunch table alone waiting for her friend, Jeanette Kean, to meet up with her. She hoped that conversation would be able to keep her mind off the chilliness.
Scanning the room to see if anyone else was displaying signs of being frosty, Karen came to partially conclude that it was all in her head. The other possible reason was that she wondered if getting a birthday gift for Terrell Dest was a good idea.
It wasn’t a good idea for a covert bodyguard to have romantic affections for the person she was supposed to protect.

HER (SHADOW GIRL)
Driving through life looking for a passenger to keep me awake at the wheel, I find myself driving myself into ditches, looking for riches. But the only things I find are SWITCHES. They are the ones that may not be who SHE is.
They tell me time is the antidote to the poison that passes through my veins. Being separated by HER nonexistence is enough for me to drown in my veins. Couplets of couples flow by my eyes until phantom tears flow from my cries of frustration, the duration that will last until I see HER.
They tell me that patience is the solution to the dilution of my perseverance but the thought of finally being within HER embrace, regardless of this long race, that is fueled by the happy ending that I see at the end of HER novel.
The Blog So Far…

I decided to set up this short post to give you readers out there a sense of the storyline of “The Destiny Saga” that I have leaked out in small bites so far (I can’t give it all away; I’d like to make a living…someday).
With that in mind, here are some of my blog posts in a somewhat logical order:
The Defining Definition of What A Linian Is
The Primary Realm vs. The Secondary Realms
The Destiny Saga’s Reason for Naming the Planets
The Modern Day Linians: Last Line
The Modern Day Linians: Shield of Destiny
The Modern Day Linians: The Illusion Guard
Here are some of the themes of “The Destiny Saga”:
The Sadistic Harlequins and the “Devotion” Theme
Our “Heroes” and the “Father” Theme
And, finally, I’ll leave you guys with a few of the influences that inspired me in the past and the present to write this tale of epic craziness:
The “Alanis Morissette” Influence
And, once again, I thank you all out there for the support so far!
