I Resist the Muses

Love.


What is love?

I have only felt the need to make love to one person and he is dead. Now I fulfil my physical needs but there is no one I feel close to.

I dare not get close to anyone in case I relive the grief of longing and the pain in my heart.

It nearly killed me last time.

This is a simple one.

Lindir wrote a song for me and it was to celebrate my life. In it were such things as my sarcasm - which I have developed into an art form, my victories in the field and my love for Glorfindel who I fervently hope will one day be reborn. Other minor themes such as my accidently pissing up a wall inside the house when drunk, being caught having sex on Elrond's desk and stealing Celebrian's underwear because I like the feel of silk are also explored.

The song was irreverent and accurate. It is best forgotten.

I never had a real family, not for long anyway.

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you

I feel like no one really understand with it is like to be Anakin Skywalker. Even my closest friends seem to just sort of pat me on the head sometimes when the don't understand. This song really moves me.

Family (Comments Welcome)

Perfectly oiled, the suite door clicked shut softly behind Obi-Wan, and all the hotel's sounds abruptly ceased, almost as if it never existed. A lingering suspicion lingered on the edge of Obi-Wan's consciousness that it never had. All those people, mentioning galaxies he was sure even Qui-Gon had never heard of--truly this was the strangest mission he had ever been on, enough that he often wanted to doubt the reality of the entire thing. Still, proof remained. True, his memories of the hotel lounge were a little blurry, mostly visions of blue drinks and pink umbrellas, but he couldn't forget that damn song if he tried.

Obi-Wan threw off his robe and sat down hard on the sofa. Who the hell would name a band Nine Inch Nails anyway? Thank the gods that Anakin had pulled him out of there before he'd made an even greater fool of himself. Force! Getting all teary-eyed because a song had reminded him of his former master...

Obi-Wan rubbed at his beard, frowning. Qui-Gon wasn't the only person the song had brought to mind.

you make this all go away.
you make this all go away...

And he did.

Leaning back, Obi-Wan closed his eyes and breathed Anakin's name like a prayer. With Anakin at his side, this war almost seemed a little easier.

Almost.

This is the song that never ends
Yes, it goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing forever, just because...

No matter what happens to me, I always seem to survive with my head intact. I keep going and going, the orginal energizer bunny. No immortal knows what they are until they wake up from something that should have left them dead and find their injuries heal quickly and nothing kills them. If they're lucky they'll find a teacher who will explain exactly what's happened. If not they'll find out that they can be killed.

Like the song, immortals go on and on, but eventually something happens to make the song or the immortals stop. The immortals are usually stopped by a quick stroke to the neck by a sharp object.

I know one day, I'll quit singing that annoying little song. I'll lose my head in combat, but until then I'll continue singing forever.
