2024.05.21 20:29 Life-Refuse-6670 premonition death dream of myself
I have a lot of crazy dreams, sometimes they’re goofy and everything looks like something out of Alice in wonderland. Sometimes they’re graphic and my dad gets his knees quite literally busted out in front of me. Sometimes they’re so real that the only noticeable difference is weird color or hazy vision. But this one I had on May 17th, 2024 was not like the others and it’s been eating at my daily living for a couple days now. I have a trip planned in August (10th-14th) of this year for my birthday, I already have the plane tickets bought and lodging arrangements in order. In this dream I was flying home from this trip, I was happy and talking to my significant other about how great my birthday was. We spoke in full English, which was odd considering a lot of dreams don’t tend to do this, at least for me. I was reading the signs at the airport, getting to my gate to aboard my flight and so on. We get on the united airplane, and it begins to descend. I feel the push back as it starts to go up and the gravity pulls me against my seat. As it’s going up, it felt like it actually stood still in the air for a moment before it began to fall straight down. There was no warning, no oxygen masks, no one had any idea this was happening. When it crashed I lived through it, I awoke to smoke and fire and alarms going off around me. There was riots, people were screaming and fighting everywhere. There was a familiar sound, the American emergency alert system. It kept repeating itself saying,”the United States has been attacked, we are being invaded. This is not a test.” And my heart sank, I think I passed out again, but this was the only gap in the whole dream. I woke up again in a hotel room. It was extremely clean and I was alone. I rushed to my phone to search for my mom and dad’s contacts, I had to make sure they were okay or at least warn them what had just happened. I was scrolling and scrolling but it felt like I couldn’t find them in my phone, but all of a sudden a huge orange ball passed across my window changing the night sky to look day. I got up and ran to the window to see what it was and then it hit me. The radiation blast, I didn’t even have time to react. I felt the radiation vibrate inside of my skin, it kept rumbling around until what felt like my skin falling off. There was no pain but I started to think (which I do not do in my dreams usually) about the fact I was literally dying. I told myself, “ this is it. I’m finally dying, it’s over. I’m going to see the afterlife.” I was anxious on that thought but then immediately hit with sadness, I am losing my family, I’m dying and I will never see them again. In my next life I won’t remember them. I began to repeat all of their names over and over in hope I would remember them. Within less than a second that all went through my head in this dream. When I finally woke up I reached for my dogs collar, I didn’t think I was really alive. I personally believe in parallel universes and the endless idea that there are many different realities of ourselves out there. Possibly an answer to Deja vu but I’m uncertain.
I reached for her collar to see if it was still pink, because if it had changed color, then it was proof I had somehow changed universes. Yes I realize writing that down it sounds absolutely bonkers, but it was my first thought after waking up from a premonition death of an event that is actually taking place in my life in 3 months. I’m writing this dream down in hopes that someone has had a similar experience, has anyone you know dreamt about their future death? What would you do? Have you ever fully died in your dreams?
To clear some bases: 1. No, nothing in my life has changed this is not a “transition” interpretation dream of death. I’m currently just a college student who plays video games, I literally do not do anything that would be considered a self realization transition. 2. At the risk of sounding insane and stupid, I watched and believe in the final destination movies ideology. If I am to cheat death because I saw my future before it happened, worse death will be upon me. So i am not canceling my trip, but I might have to get some medicine to make me sleep on this damn plane after all this.
I know this is long so if you read through all of this thank you and please give leave a thought. If nothing else, some encouragement that I’m not crazy lol, or if you think I’m crazy, give me a logical explanation and tell me it’s just my brain having anxiety. Honestly, anything will help at this point I’m spiraling.

2024.05.21 20:25 melody_magical Why doesn't the US go ahead and claim Marie Byrd Land?
Antarctica is claimed by different countries, such as Chile or New Zealand. Marie Byrd Land is sitting empty without a claim to its name. Since the United States doesn't have any claims on the frozen continent, and the land is sitting empty, I'd say Marie Byrd Land should belong to Uncle Sam.

2024.05.21 20:25 StunningVanilla7916 Creepy Neighbor
I (41F) live in Montana and a few years ago I was forced to relocate after my landlord decided to rent to her son. The community I had lived in for 11.5 years has become incredibly expensive ($787,000 median home price). Unfortunately, I was forced to relocate to another city and because of the unexpected move and associated costs, I moved in with a roommate. My roommate left to pursue better job prospects about three months after I moved in. Our unit was a triplex, so there were two gentlemen that inhabited the other units. I was never added to the lease as the property manager required a full deposit and I was not in a financially healthy spot at the time. I remained in the unit for 1.5 years on my own paying the rent and utilities.
I became very good friends with the man in the unit closest to mine. We will call the man Devin (52M). Devin was a disabled veteran in recovery. I also am a veteran, so he held a soft spot in my heart. We shared meals, hung out and discussed all of life’s mysteries, and would look out for one another. Devin had gone to treatment for 6-weeks, and I had watched his cat while he was gone. Our friendship developed over the course of 1.5 years. Devin had expressed romantic interest; however, right from the beginning I clearly informed Devin that I did not share those feelings and we would never be more than good friends.
Devin seemed to be lonely, which made sense; however, I am a person who requires alone time to recharge my batteries. I set strict boundaries for Devin as he wanted to hang out all of the time. I would catch him walking through the front yard multiple times a day to “get the mail,” which I believed was to see if I was outside so he could stop to chat. When I would leave in the morning to go to work, Devin was always outside to tell me I looked nice and to have a good day. I told him that made me feel uncomfortable and he should just send a text letting me know if he wanted to hang out and wait for a response. There were a couple of times I yelled at him for overstepping my boundaries. The first, I had just got home and pulled into my garage. I was on a phone call and had stayed in the car, Devin looked through the garage window to see if I was home. I was annoyed but didn’t really think much of it. The second, I was getting dressed in my room in the Summer, so the window was cracked. I felt this was safe as the window was not in a place that anyone should be walking by as it was on my patio at the back of the home. I caught Devin peeking through. I lost it. I let Devin know under no uncertain terms his behavior was inappropriate and that if he didn’t respect my boundaries, we would no longer be friends.
Last year, while I was still in the home, I had asked Devin to watch my dog for a couple of days so I could go to a family event out of state. Devin was happy to help, and I was very appreciative. Not long after I returned, I started to notice strange things in my home, but I really just thought it was me. For instance, I would be fairly certain I had locked my door in the morning when I left for work, but when I returned it would be unlocked. I would be sure I had shut off all the lights, but when I got home in the evening, one would be on. I really just thought it was absentmindedness.
Fast forward a couple of months, and my mom became sick with cancer. My sister watched my dog while I went to tend to my mom. My sister reached out to me and asked if anyone else had a key to my apartment. I let her know she had the only spare key but asked why. Similarly, she had experienced the same issues with lights and locks. I had not shared my concerns with my sister prior to her communicating hers with me as I really just doubted my own sanity. While I was out of town, I received a text message from Devin asking if I had a potato he could borrow. I let him know I was out of state with my mom who was sick. Devin did not reply, which was out of character, but I had noticed a change in Devin’s affect – he was more reserved and less friendly towards me. I thought it probably had to do with my firm adherence to my boundaries, which was okay. He didn’t have to like them, just respect them.
When I got back to town, one night I stayed over at my sister's house after helping her move. As mentioned above, I was struggling financially, so I would carefully budget and plan my weekly meals. The morning before my sister’s move, I had placed three pieces of bacon into a Ziploc bag to be used later for a BLT. When I returned the following morning, much to my disbelief, there were only two pieces of bacon. I held the bag in my hands KNOWING that there had been three. No longer did I doubt myself. I called my sister and let her know that someone had been getting into my house (I ALWAYS) keep the place locked. The only logical thing that could have happened is Devin made a copy of my key when he had watched my dog in the Fall. My sister reminded me about the potato text – THE POTATO IN THE COUNTER BASKET WAS GONE!
I had enough information to be certain my neighbor had violated my trust and was no friend; however, I still wasn’t afraid of him. As I mentioned, he is a disabled vet and was somewhat feeble and sickly. I was not scared of a confrontation. I immediately went to the hardware store and purchased a camera that steams to your phone once the motion detector has been activated. I placed it facing the side door where Devin would enter. It also had two-way audio capability so my plan was that when Devin decided to enter my home again, I would see it and say over the camera something to the effect of, “get the fuck out of my house, put the key you copied on the counter, and never try to speak with me again or I will contact law enforcement.” As I wrote above, I was not on the lease, and did not want to be homeless, so I could not turn to the property manager for help and Devin knew it.
In the evenings, I started placing a jug of cat litter and a kitchen chair in front of the door that I knew Devin was accessing the apartment from, but I NEVER expected he would attempt to come in while I was at home and really, he had only taken a piece of uncooked bacon and a potato. Laying on the couch one night, watching TV, I thought that I had heard something sliding on the floor in the laundry room where the door was; but I knew there was no way he would come in while I was home. My cat was running around playing, so I decided it was probably just her and I was being paranoid because of all that had happened.
The next morning, while changing my laundry, I noticed the litter and chair had been pushed 3-4 inches. I checked the sensitivity of the camera and found that I was able to replicate by slowly opening the door. DEVIN TRIED TO COME IN WHILE I WAS HOME! WHY?! That morning, I took bear spray into the shower with me while my knees knocked. I was terrified. I felt vulnerable and violated. Devin knew that I knew now also. He knew that I had placed a barrier in front of the door. After that morning, he was never outside in the morning, nor did he walk through the yard to get his mail. I obtained a firearm for protection and did make a police report. The police officer was annoyed with me as I did not want him to approach Devin as all Devin would need to do is report me to the property manager and I would be homeless.
I am grateful that whatever he was up to was apparently thwarted. The fact that he tried to come in while he knew I was home gives me the heebie-jeebies. I wonder if he went through my underwear, watched me while I slept, etc. Since, my situation has greatly improved. I ended up moving out shortly after to take care of my mom. I got my own place again a few months ago. I will never put my trust in another neighbor for pet/house sitting again. It still blows my mind that I had some douche bag stealing from and likely stalking me. This story just solidifies one should always trust their gut. There were so many times that a red flag was screaming, and I just thought I was being crazy.

2024.05.21 20:24 TYLOPRO Misting/watering system help. Please.
 | Hey y’all. I hope y’all are doing well. I have a 21 foot by 26 foot greenhouse that I built myself that’s around 8 feet tall, and live very far south in the United States. I grow tropical plants that are mostly aroids. I want to install a misting/watering system to help cool things down pretty significantly, keep humidity up, and get at least some water down to the roots. I want to use an adjustable pump that can manage no more than 500 psi, but that can push enough to make either a decent mist or bigger droplets for true watering. I plan to have a reservoir to pull water from, so I’d need a pump that can suck water out of something like that. I will have the pump plugged into a timer so that it will cut on automatically throughout the day. I plant to use 1/2” PVC pipe, and I will not have more than 100 feet of pipe in this system. I would like to have at least 18 nozzles regardless of whether it’s misting or bigger droplet nozzles. My concerns include, but are not limited to, that I won’t have enough pressure to push adequate mist, that I will get buildup in the pipes over time that will clog or reduce the effectiveness of the system, that it will not cool enough, and that the pump will be too expensive for a dude in college. Absolutely any feedback would be very much appreciated. I have never done anything like this before, and I am hoping I can get pointers, criticisms, recommendations, websites, and any help that I can get. While I am mostly looking for recommendations for a pump, I am also not sure which nozzles I should use either. Thank y’all so much for reading this.Also, I plan to run the pipes long ways roughly along with/under the boards I am pointing at in one of the pictures. There are three, so I’d have just around 80 feet in the system, but I might decide on more pipe. That’s why I said no more than 100 feet. :) |
2024.05.21 20:23 Gomihyang Is Paganism Inherently Rightist?
Paganism has become associated with right-wing political movements and ideologies such as conservatism. Despite what some modern extremists would have you believe, the people of Europe thousands of years ago who practiced the worship of these deities did not have an understanding of race or racism as we have today. Those are colonial constructs and pseudo-scientific because the entire idea of race was made so Europeans could have a sense of solidarity with themselves as they went and plundered other nations and it made anyone not considered “White” as a valid target for plundering or war. Medieval people did not need such a justification
The vikings did not have any issues raiding or plundering other white countries, and even had issues with the United Kingdom. They had trade routes and colonies all over the world, which resulted in many foreigners living in their towns or coming over as merchants or for work. The idea that their faith would be implemented into any supremacist ideology seems to be more reflective of the desire of those involved to be seen as strong, warlike, or masculine (Or other traits associated with the vikings or Germanic peoples) than an actual part of the faith or lifestyle itself. Viking war bands themselves were also not ethnically exclusive. I’m not saying that Vikings lived in a multi-racial utopia or something we would consider inclusive today, but a lot of what reactionaries claim about paganism is historically revisionist at best and an intentional desecration at worst.
The Nazi party of Germany is partially responsible for distorting history to create the idea of a proud warrior culture as well. Esoteric Hitlerism is a thing, but is rarely discussed in conversations because nobody would admit to practicing such a thing to anyone who was not a sympathizer. Within the political party of Germany during the war, there were known occultists and this is the case with Japan’s nationalistic state religion at the time as well. Reactionaries have put a lot of work into distorting various forms of religion for their own political gain, and many religious figures are persecuted under them simply for knowing the truth. Being a legitimate Shinto priest in Japan under the Tojo regime and not being on board with state Shinto was dangerous. Not only are reactionaries desecrating their traditional culture, they are basically against it if it does not serve their totalitarian ambitions.
Germany today is considered one country and one ethnicity, but the origin is a bunch of different tribes like many countries in the world. The ethnicity, cultures, languages, and ideologies of people today are the result of nation-building whether we like it or not. In cases like Thailand, that’s cultural integration of a bunch of tribes at once. I bring this up because in order to properly understand that the ideologies and cultures we have now simply did not exist. If I said that Kemetic paganism is feminist or that Greek Paganism is Anarchist, you would be correct to roll on the floor laughing. I would be injecting not only my own interpretations onto it but also my ideas about it.
So to answer the question in the title, paganism is not an inherently rightist practice. You see extremists trying to claim it because they believe in some genetic component while neglecting to actually research and know what their ancestors would have actually believed. The extremist Norse pagan probably makes their viking ancestors very confused or ashamed in why they dislike foreigners so much. If the past was a different country only 50-100 years ago, then the past of thousands of years ago was a completely different world entirely with people that most likely would not have opinions about society or modern life that fit neatly into our political ideas or could be easily categorized by our modern ways of thinking.

The vikings did not have any issues raiding or plundering other white countries, and even had issues with the United Kingdom. They had trade routes and colonies all over the world, which resulted in many foreigners living in their towns or coming over as merchants or for work. The idea that their faith would be implemented into any supremacist ideology seems to be more reflective of the desire of those involved to be seen as strong, warlike, or masculine (Or other traits associated with the vikings or Germanic peoples) than an actual part of the faith or lifestyle itself. Viking war bands themselves were also not ethnically exclusive. I’m not saying that Vikings lived in a multi-racial utopia or something we would consider inclusive today, but a lot of what reactionaries claim about paganism is historically revisionist at best and an intentional desecration at worst.
The Nazi party of Germany is partially responsible for distorting history to create the idea of a proud warrior culture as well. Esoteric Hitlerism is a thing, but is rarely discussed in conversations because nobody would admit to practicing such a thing to anyone who was not a sympathizer. Within the political party of Germany during the war, there were known occultists and this is the case with Japan’s nationalistic state religion at the time as well. Reactionaries have put a lot of work into distorting various forms of religion for their own political gain, and many religious figures are persecuted under them simply for knowing the truth. Being a legitimate Shinto priest in Japan under the Tojo regime and not being on board with state Shinto was dangerous. Not only are reactionaries desecrating their traditional culture, they are basically against it if it does not serve their totalitarian ambitions.
Germany today is considered one country and one ethnicity, but the origin is a bunch of different tribes like many countries in the world. The ethnicity, cultures, languages, and ideologies of people today are the result of nation-building whether we like it or not. In cases like Thailand, that’s cultural integration of a bunch of tribes at once. I bring this up because in order to properly understand that the ideologies and cultures we have now simply did not exist. If I said that Kemetic paganism is feminist or that Greek Paganism is Anarchist, you would be correct to roll on the floor laughing. I would be injecting not only my own interpretations onto it but also my ideas about it.
So to answer the question in the title, paganism is not an inherently rightist practice. You see extremists trying to claim it because they believe in some genetic component while neglecting to actually research and know what their ancestors would have actually believed. The extremist Norse pagan probably makes their viking ancestors very confused or ashamed in why they dislike foreigners so much. If the past was a different country only 50-100 years ago, then the past of thousands of years ago was a completely different world entirely with people that most likely would not have opinions about society or modern life that fit neatly into our political ideas or could be easily categorized by our modern ways of thinking.
2024.05.21 20:22 Gomihyang Is Paganism Inherently Rightist?
Paganism has become associated with right-wing political movements and ideologies such as conservatism. Despite what some modern extremists would have you believe, the people of Europe thousands of years ago who practiced the worship of these deities did not have an understanding of race or racism as we have today. Those are colonial constructs and pseudo-scientific because the entire idea of race was made so Europeans could have a sense of solidarity with themselves as they went and plundered other nations and it made anyone not considered “White” as a valid target for plundering or war. Medieval people did not need such a justification

2024.05.21 20:12 justdrowsin $45 plus Free Lp(a) lipid test
Wanted to spread the word that there is a national study PAYING YOU to to get an advanced blood panel. It's testing for something called Lp(a) levels and is similar to a cholesterol test, but possibly much better.
This is part of a regulated medical study.
They have hundreds of locations all over the United States
I have been on statins for 30 years and feel strongly about this test as it normally costs $600 to get and is not usually covered by insurance.
It helps you know about your risks for cardiovascular disease and it's quick - about 10 minutes.
And they PAY YOU $45. I received the money after 1 day in my email as a Visa Gift card.

2024.05.21 20:11 JollyAthlete1157 Who do you think Hitler believed caused the Great Depression?
During the munition strikes of 1918, the habsberg empire was slowly starting to collapse due to cultural differences, and economic strains (Especially on food), he specifically blamed the Slavs in this which was similar to the economic Great Depression in the United States in 1929. But I wonder what he thought on the Great Depression when it occurred in 1929 on Wall Street. I haven’t found much on this topic. I do know he explained it throughout Germany but I don’t fully understand his full opinion on it. Surely he must’ve blamed the Jews but I’m curious to know what he solely thought had caused it because there are many other details than that of course. He is a very analytical person and gets into detail very specifically on subjects. Odd question for me to ask but I’m just curious about that time period and I want to educate myself further.

2024.05.21 20:07 Extreme-Emphasis4353 2.5 Acheron Rerun Speculation
Units to rerun before Acheron: Argenti, Huohuo, Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio, Black Swan, Sparkle
2.3 Firefly and Jade banners (It has been speculated/leaked by various questionnable and reliable sources that Ruan Mei and Argenti will get their reruns within this patch)
2.4 Jiaoqiu and (Possibly: Feixiao, Yunli, Screwllum) banners (Huohuo and Dr. Ratio rerun, however I do not find any reason why hoyoversw will rerun Dr. Ratio as he is a free unit obtainable from the start of 2nd phase of 1.6 to the end 2.1. I see little to no profit from having him rerun, hence why I speculate that he will be pushed further back which leads us to the next unit to rerun which is Black Swan.)
2.5 Unknown and Unknown Banners (I speculate that the next units to rerun is Sparkle and Acheron. Both units are highly popular and wanted by numerous players, especially the players who have yet to pull for sparkle or will be pulling for eidolons or lightcones of both units.)
Let me know your opinions abt this because if this happens Jiaoqiu will only be a patch before both of them and peraonally it will be hard for me to guarantee Jiaoqiu, Sparkle, Acheron (Pulling for my missing E2).
Note: Looking at the trend where units who are popular or meta units are moved forward by a patch earlier than they should by like Jingliu and possibly Ruan Mei, they might do the same.
All the information stated are just based on my speculation and I find it likely to happen as it was also possible to push back luocha rerun by numerous patches.

2024.05.21 20:06 xRegenxQueenx Kitty's Guest Post Clarification
 | Good morning or afternoon everyone, I hope you’re doing well! My name is Hari “Kitty” Darcy, and I am looking for beginner or novice bloggers who’re interested in guest posting on a lifestyle-personal blog and portfolio website. It sounds like a mouthful, but give me a quick moment or two to explain what I’m looking for and how the reviewing process works. submitted by xRegenxQueenx to u/xRegenxQueenx [link] [comments] If you are interested…
HGD Purpose…The purpose of my website is to help other bloggers and starter writers get their feet wet. For years, I was nervous with guest posting. I’ve tried it several times until I figured out the approach and delivery. Now, I’m extremely confident and ready to support others.Alternatively, I’m also building a portfolio. The site’s foundation is personal development and growth, lifestyle, and (of course) communication through writing and art. The goal is to collect and spread the constructive energy to others for however long it takes. Multi-Niche Blog…Upfront, I’m a multi-niche blog. I’ve been a multi-niche blog for several years. It didn’t work out in the past, but now, I know what to expect. There is a maximum of 12 subtopics to pick from. Choose wisely, because I’m not adding additional niches.\*Note: If the blog post is 100% on point, but doesn’t exactly fit in the niches listed on the site, I will pick the best secondary category for it. If there are one or more categories performing poorly for six months straight, I will reconsider replacing those with newer ones.*** Final Thoughts…I hope I’ve answered some of your concerns. I’ve included the Guest Posting Disclosure and additional pointers and tips for guest bloggers. Please review them. If you have further questions, send a general inquiry here or a message on Medium, Mastodon, or Reddit.Thank you and have a great day! :) \"SUS S.O.S\" by Hari G.

2024.05.21 20:05 justdrowsin Got a free Lp(a) lipid test (plus $45)
Wanted to spread the word that there is a national study PAYING YOU to to get an advanced blood panel. It's testing for something called Lp(a) levels and is similar to a cholesterol test, but possibly much better.
This is part of a regulated medical study.
Location: Hundreds of locations across the United States.
I have been on statins for 30 years and feel strongly about this test as it normally costs $600 to get and is not usually covered by insurance.
It helps you know about your risks for cardiovascular disease and it's quick - about 10 minutes.
And they PAY YOU $45. I received the money after 1 day in my email as a Visa Gift card.
My referral link where I get $25 to help with the kid's college fund:

2024.05.21 20:02 MathsGuy1 The Rise of the Soulmancer pt8: Crushed Souls
 | /uw Warning: this chapter contains description of a battle, so there's some gore etc. submitted by MathsGuy1 to wizardposting [link] [comments] context: part7 /rw "... have to retreat, sir! Now!" - Deamor vaguely registered the meaning of the words. He tried to walk, but after a few steps, he vomited a mix of blue, green, and red - likely the result of all the potions he drank, combined with some internal bleeding. Before he could finish, the attendant grabbed his arm, leading him away while forcing another potion down his throat. As he drank, his sense of surroundings gradually returned and his crippling headache lessened just enough for him to think again. Magical overexertion could cause grave consequences to both body and mind, and this potion could only delay the effects by a few minutes, worsening his overall condition later. Given the situation, he had little choice. His state seemed the worst among the other wizards, though they weren't that much better off either. It appeared they had underestimated the Northerners, who had somehow breached their formation. Though the breach was quickly closed, a group of three dozen crazed berserkers slipped through before that. Ignoring the imperial soldiers around them, they charged straight at Deamor, aiming to tip the scales of battle by eliminating the mages at the back. The shouts and battlecries grew closer as the small detachment left to guard the wizards was swiftly crushed. The Vanguard's captain kept a cool head and swiftly decided: "Stop and brace for a fight!" Deamor immediately obeyed. Just as during the drills, he quickly drew his wand and started going through the motions - he cast Mage Armor, followed by Haste and Mirror Image. All the other wizards mimicked his moves - they followed the order without question, despite the looks of fear on their faces. Deamor knew running away wouldn't do him any good - even if he could escape, deserters would be tracked down and executed. The enemies were closing in rapidly, less than 200 feet away. Deamor raised his wand and a blinding lightning hit one of the berserkers, making his body twitch uncontrollably on the ground. Other spells flew at the approaching opponents, but they did little to slow them down. With unexpected nimbleness, they leapt over the pools of grease and pits that magically appeared in their path. Some of the offensive spells weren't enough to incapacitate the warriors or were simply dodged. Soon the unstoppable berserkers were upon them. Deamor ducked as a small axe flew past where his chest had been a moment earlier. He heard a gargle - his attendant, who had stood beside him, wasn't so lucky. With no one between him and the berserkers, Deamor prepared for close combat. Magical quarterstaff, crackling with electricity, appeared in his hand just in time to block a wide swing from a berserker who reached him. Though he blocked the blow, its force almost knocked him down. He stepped back, but his opponent didn't relent, raining blows with twin swords. Only his hastened state allowed Deamor to barely keep up with blocking. Somehow, his Mirror Image had no effect, as if the berserker could instinctively sense which image was the real one. Deamor had no time to think about how excatly the man did it. He had to come up with a plan to quickly defeat his opponent - he wouldn't be able to last much longer, especially in his weakened state. Deamor did the first thing that came to his mind - he closed his eyes and emitted a blinding flash of light out of his hand. The Northerner was caught off guard and started flailing with his swords blindly. That was big enough opening for Deamor. He leveraged his hastened state to quickly step to the side and attack enemy's leg. A strong blow to the tendon brought the berserker to one knee, electricity amplifying the impact. Without hesitation, Deamor swung with both hands at the man's head. The berserker instinctively shielded his head with his hand just in time. However, even though his forearm bone was crushed and his skin blackened, he showed no pain, only even greater fury. He roared wildly and lunged at surprised Deamor, who barely managed to step back in time. He rapidly circled around his half-prone opponent and delivered a powerful blow to the back of the berserker's head. Fortunately, this time his opponent hadn't managed to dodge or block quickly enough. A sickening crunch signified his success. Deamor grinned slightly, proud of besting the fierce opponent. "Maybe those martial arts lessons weren't a waste of time after all" - he thought. But then he quickly remembered that this wasn't a duel, he was in the middle of a battle. Just as he thought about that, he sensed a soul close behind him. Without looking back, he dodged to the side, avoiding a deadly axe wielded by an imposing man clad in bear fur. Before Deamor could do anything, another powerful blow came at him. He rolled to the side, not daring to block the giant axe. Despite the Haste spell, the berserker was as fast as him and almost sliced off his hand. Fortunately the Mage Armor came in handy and deflected the blade. The accumulated stress, magical extertion and the presence of the terrifying half-giant were too much for Deamor, and he lost the concentration necessary to continue channeling his spells. The energy staff in his hand fizzled out, and the world around him suddenly sped up as his Haste ended prematurely. Deamor's mind went blank as the man towered over him, ready to end his life. Almost instinctively, Deamor stomped his foot, and a half-translucent barrier emerged from the ground. Immediately after, he started running away without looking back, trying to get away from the man at all cost. There was no chance he could defeat that monster! The berserker swung his axe and the barrier shattered as if it was made out of fragile glass. The warrior didn't relent and pursued his prey. After a few moments, he was upon the mage again, but just as he was preparing to swing his axe at the run-away, he tripped over a corpse. Deamor looked back and stared, dumbfounded, not believing his luck. He almost missed his opportunity as the berserker started to rapidly recover from the fall. Fortunately, Deamor managed to produce a black ray of deathly magic in time and watched as the body shriveled and decomposed under the spell. During the brief respite, Deamor gathered his bearings and surveyed the chaotic battle. What he saw was utter chaos - everyone fought with little coordination. His unit has never had to fight in close ranks like this, and the drills were vastly different from the real thing. As for the berserkers, they seemed to thrive in such chaotic environment. It was hard to tell which side was winning at the moment. However Deamor was more concerned about something else - where were Kate and Markus? After a few moments he finally spotted them - they were fighting a giant man wielding a greatsword longer than an average man was tall. Deamor made his way towards them, ignoring the combatants around him. The berserker performed a wide horizontal slash with his greatsword. Markus tried to block, but the sheer force of the blow cut his staff in two and then continued to bisect Markus himself. His upper body fell a distance away, separated from his still-standing legs, creating a truly grotesque sight. Deamor stopped, stupefied, unable to move. This had to be a bad dream! They were supposed to crush these stupid barbarians! How was this happening? The warrior didn't waste time and turned to Katerin, which pulled Deamor out of his stupor. Without thinking, he made a grabbing move towards the man. Crush! - he uttered the forbidden word, closing his hand. He saw faint cracks spreading all across the berserker's soul. The soul was too formidable to be crushed by a novice soulmancer like him, but it was enough to stop the warrior in his tracks, making him spasm on the ground. This was the first time Deamor openly used soulmancy, but he didn't care. He blindly ran towards his dead friend, subconsciously dodging the combatants and the spells flying around. He crouched over Markus' body, watching his soul ebb away, escaping from this world. He tried to grab it, to pull it back here. But he had no idea how to actually do it, how to save his friend. The soul stopped for a moment, but then slipped away from his grasp and disappeared. The entire world seemed frozen in time, as Deamor stared blankly at the gutted remains of his companion. A few long moments later he collapsed, all the accumulated physical and mental trauma finally catching up to him. /Uw Thanks for reading, tell me what you think! The story happens thousands of years in the past, so it's not really interactive. |
2024.05.21 20:00 Yurii_S_Kh Serbian Church Establishes Four New Dioceses in Europe
 | https://preview.redd.it/gs8jdjuzjt1d1.png?width=858&format=png&auto=webp&s=53cf3f602eaaf00612f1d09d873e5b6bd681e015 submitted by Yurii_S_Kh to SophiaWisdomOfGod [link] [comments] The Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church has concluded its session in Belgrade, resulting in the creation of four new dioceses in Europe: the Scandinavian, British, Austrian, and Swiss dioceses. The Synod, the Church’s highest legislative body on matters of faith, liturgy, ecclesiastical structure, discipline, and internal organization, made this decision as part of their ongoing efforts to better serve the faithful and manage ecclesiastical affairs. The formation of these new dioceses involved the division of the existing British-Scandinavian Diocese and the former Austro-Swiss Diocese. The Scandinavian Diocese, with its headquarters in Stockholm, will be led by Bishop Dositej, who was previously overseeing the British-Scandinavian Diocese. Meanwhile, the new British-Irish Diocese, headquartered in London, will be under the leadership of Bishop Nektarije of Igar. Similarly, the Austro-Swiss Diocese was divided into the Austrian Diocese, headquartered in Vienna, temporarily overseen by Bishop Irinej of Backa, and the Swiss Diocese, headquartered in Zurich, with Bishop Andrej, the former bishop of the Austro-Swiss Diocese, taking the helm. In addition to these changes, the Synod also approved new statutes for the Düsseldorf-German Diocese and the dioceses in the United States. The Holy Synod of Bishops convenes annually, and this year’s session was initially planned to take place at the Patriarchate of Peć Monastery, located in the partially recognized republic of Kosovo. However, the authorities in the region denied entry to Patriarch Porfirije and seven other bishops. The Serbian Church strongly condemned the actions of the Pristina authorities and appealed for support from the global Orthodox community. |
