Shouldn't that be "Ms. Gracia" or are you trying to say "Carim-san"?

Is that an intentional misspelling?

What? I'm not allowed to take a couple of days off from posting?

Considering I just finished my 8th Mini-Arc for Blood That Flows.

It's not *my* fault you're not reading it.

True. I'm still working on my TTG; ran into a few difficulties here and there while trying to keep up quality. Everyone needs a break.

I think I put it like that to illustrate Olivie's foreign roots but I may just take it out later.

Yes, that was an intentional spelling. Vivio's decided to stick with using that nickname for now while she sorts out if she wants to use Mama or Onee-chan for Olivie.

You mean, before I went on my posting binge that's lasted almost a year?

I am still convinced you are some sort of robot built for the purpose of churning out fanfics.

Wait, there was doubt that Nanya is a robot?

[shiroi mahotsukai]

Nanya, if you were a robot you'd tell us right?

[Rising Dragon]

I maintain that he made a pact with a Mazoku for his inspirational prowess.

Spoiler for Blood That Flows - Peek - Dreams Start:

Dreams Start

"Ugh... Am I dreaming again?" She asked as she looked around and sighed at the landscape. "I swear, if I have one more randomly weird dream, I'm going to cast a Starlight Breaker on myself." At least she wasn't at her brother's wedding and being hospitalized because of overusing her magic when she was supposed to be resting.

"Why would you say you're dreaming?" A familiar voice came from behind her.

"Mom?" Spinning around, Nanoha blinked as she saw someone standing behind her. "Oh, sorry, you sound like my mother." The girl didn't look like Lina, since Nanoha was taller than the small girl, the girl's hair was a bright blonde color, though her eyes were interesting. "But, your eyes are like hers. Except her left eye is gold, your right eye is yellow." The blonde girl was wearing simple gray shorts and a gray shirt. "...And you don't dress fashionably."

"I wouldn't know." The girl shrugged at Nanoha. "Why do you think that you're dreaming?"

Nanoha rubbed her head and felt like sitting down, but realized that since she didn't even know if there was a floor, decided against it. "Because I've had nothing but these weird dreams lately. Every time I think I got it figured out, I suddenly wake up and something different is happening! Ugh. The last dream was the worst."

"Oh?" The girl blinked at her. "Why?"

Nanoha crossed her arms over her small chest and pouted. "Let's just say that I don't trust creatures that only smile and can promise to grant any wish that you want." She shook her head as the small girl blinked in confusion. "Let's just say that bunny-fairy thing won't bother my dreams anymore."

"I see. At least you are not alone in your dreams this time."

Nanoha nodded. "Yeah, no kidding. Usually there's weird things around me, or I'm seeing my life in a different way somehow."

"Oh?" The girl looked at her, blinking. "What do you mean?"

Nanoha blushed softly. "I had a dream that my dad was dead, mom wasn't my mom, Lindy was a fairy, Raising Heart was a silly looking staff and I ended up marrying Chrono-kun when I got older."

"I see." The girl nodded. "Why do you think it was a dream? What if it was a vision of another world?"

Nanoha blinked and scratched her head. "I don't know. Why would you say that?"

Before the girl could answer, another voice spoke up. "Wagh! There's two of you now!! Am I waking up?!" Nanoha and the girl turned to see a young girl in a fancy, light purple silk dress, red hair that had long strands near her ears and the back of her head and green eyes that looked around in a panic. "I can't be waking up! Waaaagh!" She ran up to the blonde girl and shook her. "You said that I wasn't waking up!"

"Calm down, you're still asleep." The girl shook her head at the new girl. "You should introduce yourself to each other."

"Oh!" Nanoha rubbed the back of her head. "My name's Nanoha Takamachi. What's yours?"

The girl in the short, fancy dress grabbed the edges and crouched slightly with her knees. "My name is Ixpellia, ruler of Galea during the Warring Ages of Belka."

"You're a ruler?" Nanoha blinked. "But, Belka doesn't exist."

Ixpellia nodded to her. "Yeah, I'm a ruler. The last time I was awake, I heard that Belka was destroyed. For that, I'm grateful. But... I just want to sleep." A sad smile came to her face. "I know that I'm dreaming, because I'm talking to the two of you and nothing bad is happening. Whenever I'm awake, bad things happen and many people die because of me."

"Oh." Nanoha mumbled softly. What could she say to that?

"But, that doesn't explain how you're here." Ixpellia pointed at Nanoha and suddenly it got dark with lightning crashing around the young-looking girl. "You shouldn't be able to get into my head like this!"

"Perhaps the answer is why she's able to dream like this." The blonde girl spoke up.

Nanoha blinked and scratched the top of her head. "Well, the last thing that happened that I remember is..." Her eyes widened and she touched the middle of her chest. "A sword... Right here... When I was using my Chaos power."

"What's Chaos?" Ixpellia asked, curious about the word.

Nanoha frowned lightly, wishing that she had paid a little more attention to what her mother had told her about it. "It... I think mom said it was the power of the Lord of Nightmares."

"And who's the Lord of Nightmares." The blonde girl asked her.

"...Mom said that the Lady created everything and yet can destroy it."

"The Lady?" Ixpellia blinked. "The Lord of Nightmares is the Lady?"

"I guess." Nanoha shrugged. "Mom said that she could do anything she wanted and that Chaos was hers..."

"So, if you were using Chaos and got hurt, what would happen?" The blonde girl was curious and Nanoha sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe flood me with so much Chaos that I could dream up different universes or apparently cross my dreams with someone else. I don't know!" Nanoha threw her hands up in the air and sighed. "I'm just... So frustrated right now!"

"Were the dreams bad?" Ixpellia asked as she walked up to Nanoha.

The redhead shook her head. "No! They weren't! I liked some of them!" Tears started to leak out of her eyes as she looked at the other girl. "But every time that something good happened, I'd wake up and realize it was another dream!"

Ixpellia gave Nanoha a hug. "I wish I could wake up. Every time I do, there's more fighting, more war. My power is only useful for creating death."

Nanoha looked at the girl and hugged her back. "I'm sorry, I'm being selfish."

Ixy shook her head as she hugged the distraught girl. "No, it's okay. Mine is a special burden to bear. You need to wake up fully."

Nanoha smiled as she pulled away from the ancient ruler. "Well, at least it's not like that time I was walking on a yellow brick road. I swear, if see any flying monkeys, I'm going to exterminate the whole lot of them."

Ixpellia giggled softly. "You should go. I think you have people waiting for you. Me? I'm stuck here, everyone I ever loved has been dead forever."

Nanoha frowned and gave Ixpellia another hug. "Just wait. One day, we'll find you, Ixpellia, and we'll make it so you can wake up without worrying about causing death and war."

Ixpellia hugged the girl tightly. "Even if it doesn't happen, it's good to know that people like you exist out there."

Nanoha broke the hug and smiled at Ixpellia. "We'll meet again... Ixy."

The girl blinked in surprise. "...Ixy?"

Nanoha stuck her tongue out at the other girl. "Your name is long. Ixy is easier to say."

Ixpellia's eyes misted up before hugging Nanoha again. "Thank you." Letting go, she stepped back. "So, go, wake up for real this time."

"I can help with that." The blonde girl spoke up. Nanoha and Ixpellia turned to look at her. A moment later, she pulled out a shovel and smacked Nanoha in the face with it, sending her tumbling to the ground, out cold.

"What was THAT for?!" Ixpellia yelped as she looked at the blonde.

Said blonde pointed at Nanoha's body as it faded away. "I think she's waking up now."

"Hope she doesn't have a headache from that." Ixpellia mumbled, hoping to see Nanoha in the future sometime.

After all, it would be nice to wake up and see that not all her friends were dead like the last few times she was awake.

Was that bit at the beginning a White Devil Of The Moon reference? And who was the blonde girl supposed to be?

Nanoha blinked and scratched the top of her head. "Well, the last thing that happened that I remember is..." Her eyes widened and she touched the middle of her chest. "A sword... Right here... When I was using my Chaos power."

"What's Chaos?" Ixpellia asked, curious about the word.

Nanoha frowned lightly, wishing that she had paid a little more attention to what her mother had told her about it. "It... I think mom said it was the power of the Lord of Nightmares."

"And who's the Lord of Nightmares." The blonde girl asked her.

"...Mom said that the Lady created everything and yet can destroy it."

"The Lady?" Ixpellia blinked. "The Lord of Nightmares is the Lady?"

"I guess." Nanoha shrugged. "Mom said that she could do anything she wanted and that Chaos was hers..."

"So, if you were using Chaos and got hurt, what would happen?" The blonde girl was curious and Nanoha sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe flood me with so much Chaos that I could dream up different universes or apparently cross my dreams with someone else. I don't know!" Nanoha threw her hands up in the air and sighed. "I'm just... So frustrated right now!"

"Were the dreams bad?" Ixpellia asked as she walked up to Nanoha.

The redhead shook her head. "No! They weren't! I liked some of them!" Tears started to leak out of her eyes as she looked at the other girl. "But every time that something good happened, I'd wake up and realize it was another dream!"

Ixpellia gave Nanoha a hug. "I wish I could wake up. Every time I do, there's more fighting, more war. My power is only useful for creating death."

Nanoha looked at the girl and hugged her back. "I'm sorry, I'm being selfish."

Ixy shook her head as she hugged the distraught girl. "No, it's okay. Mine is a special burden to bear. You need to wake up fully."

Nanoha smiled as she pulled away from the ancient ruler. "Well, at least it's not like that time I was walking on a yellow brick road. I swear, if see any flying monkeys, I'm going to exterminate the whole lot of them."

Ixpellia giggled softly. "You should go. I think you have people waiting for you. Me? I'm stuck here, everyone I ever loved has been dead forever."

Nanoha frowned and gave Ixpellia another hug. "Just wait. One day, we'll find you, Ixpellia, and we'll make it so you can wake up without worrying about causing death and war."

Ixpellia hugged the girl tightly. "Even if it doesn't happen, it's good to know that people like you exist out there."

Nanoha broke the hug and smiled at Ixpellia. "We'll meet again... Ixy."

The girl blinked in surprise. "...Ixy?"

Nanoha stuck her tongue out at the other girl. "Your name is long. Ixy is easier to say."

Ixpellia's eyes misted up before hugging Nanoha again. "Thank you." Letting go, she stepped back. "So, go, wake up for real this time."

"I can help with that." The blonde girl spoke up. Nanoha and Ixpellia turned to look at her. A moment later, she pulled out a shovel and smacked Nanoha in the face with it, sending her tumbling to the ground, out cold.

"What was THAT for?!" Ixpellia yelped as she looked at the blonde.

Said blonde pointed at Nanoha's body as it faded away. "I think she's waking up now."

"Hope she doesn't have a headache from that." Ixpellia mumbled, hoping to see Nanoha in the future sometime.

After all, it would be nice to wake up and see that not all her friends were dead like the last few times she was awake.

looks like we got an early cameo by Ixpellia, an shout out for that prototype I've seen in youtube (and i'll need a super brain bleach for that, THEY'RE RUINING THE IMAGE OF THE WHITE DEVIL) and a small brief talk with nanoha's chaotic side before kissing the head of the shovel....

and yeah, the white devil of the moon reference on the first paragraph....:P
