《The Little Prince》Lesson
Advertisement
1. Look closer to see the real picture – society is moving so fast that it can be easy to miss the small details that can distinguish a drawing of a hat from a drawing of a boa constrictor.
2. Beware of the Boabab – small things can grow into big things that crack and destroy the world or at the very least they will make life more difficult. Pull them up as soon as you see them and they will never be able to grow to a place where they are out of control.
3. It is more important to judge by deeds than by words – words are temporary and often spoken without thought. Deeds take time and reveal the true heart of the people that do them.
4. Think of someone besides your self – putting others first always makes things better.
5. Perceptions are not reality – just because something appears to be a certain way doesn't mean that it actually is. Dig deeper to find the truth.
6. I am unique in all the world – because of whom and what I love and who and what loves me there is no one else like me.
7. I am responsible for what I tame – building relationships takes time and after the building is complete I am responsible to that relationship. Love brings responsibility.
8. It is not what can be seen that is important – it is the things that are invisible to the physical eye that carry the most value.
9. Things (and people) are beautiful because of what they hide – it is the things that are hidden that make them special. A house with a secret, a desert with a hidden well or a star with a prince that laughs makes them more special than any other in the world

10. There is nothing sad about an abandoned shell – an abandoned shell is just a reminder that the inhabitant has moved on to something bigger and better.
The lessons of The Little Prince have carried me through some of the toughest seasons of my life. I lost several friends when I was in high school and their deaths hurt me in a profound manner. The words set down in The Little Prince gave me a hope that I would otherwise never have discovered. And those same words carried me through some of the toughest seasons of my life.
The other day I rediscovered the Little Prince when my husband and children brought home the movie version. I realized that I missed the Little Prince and I longed to hear his laughter once again. The book was still on the shelf. It took only a few hours to finish the small book and I spent the rest of the evening laughing with the stars.
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . You – only you – will have stars that can laugh."~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.
8 66The Swordmaster and the New God
People have always called me an optimist, someone who always sees what could be, instead of what is. I had always believed that doing the right thing was important and that I was doing my part one task at a time, starting at my school, Kobe High. One day, however, I, Kazuma Sato, and my best friend Austin Huber got teleported to another world. There, an angel spun a wheel to choose our class so we could help defeat the demon lord, and I got a never seen before class; god. Will we survive in the new fantasy world, where not all is as it seems, or will the secrets and true reason that we were summoned consume us?
8 149The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
