Well, having updated you all on the Tattoo, and the finger, I figure I should update on the evil part.  What I need protection/strenght from/for!

Several weeks ago ( must be about 5 now)  the kids went to the Bull's for the weekend. ( As you may know, I am sure I mentioned I am getting back into aquatics. This is background)  On the Friday, I had a fitting at 4 pm, then I was finishing a First Aid course at 5-9 and then off to the Trews concert at the Tulip festival!  (It was also raining that day, I got really wet!)  The Bull picked Arianne up at my house  at 4 pm, and then was to get Edward at school because he had some field trip thing that was going late.  They knew my plans.  Apparently, I found out later, he picked up Arianne, drunk, and never got Edward (he went to a friends).  Saturday, I was teaching a class at a pool that is at the other end of the city from 3 to 9 pm.  I turned my Cell ringer off.  At the dinner break, I checked my phone.  My sister in law had called, I returned the call.  Arianne had called her in tears, daddy was on the couch, and she could not wake him, Edward was still at the friends, and she had one of her headaches coming on (she had not eaten yet that day!)  Mary went and got her!  Mary could not wake her brother up either!!!!!!  She was not impressed.  About an hour later, Mary called the Bull, explained where Arianne was, and asked if she should feed her dinner.  The Bull replied "That's ok, Arianne is across the street, she is having dinner there!"  In his drunken state, he did not even understand what she was saying!  The sad part is, Arianne decided to return to her fathers for the night!  Edward came back!

Now that I think about it, it was Mother's Day weekend.  I got a call on Sunday, they wanted to take me out for dinner.  They decided that we would go to the "All you can Eat buffet place"  The Bulls fav, my most hated! (I am sick of it!) or Montana's if the Buffet is full.  We were going to eat at 5 pm !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! It was full!  We went to Montana's there was an hour wait, AS WE DID NOT HAVE RESERVATIONS!!!!  Geee, novel thought, on MOTHERS DAY!!!  Anyway, during the whole dinner, the Bull did not say a word!  Just looked sad and pathetic  (probably hung over!) 

Oh yeah, I forgot, on Satuday, he dropped a tow hitch on his foot, so his Big toe was all swelled up and he could not walk well! (this is relivant to a later story!)  He ended up taking the week off work, drinking!

During same week, I cut my finger, and could not reach him the evening of the incident to watch the kids/drive me to the hospital! 

The following weekend, I took the kids up to my parents for a day trip on Saturday.  After we returned, Arianne asked if she could have a sleepover at her friends house, the one who lives across the street from the Bull.  She called, it was ok, I dropped her off (with reservations!)  Within an hour , she was calling me, from the Bull's house, in tears, she felt sick, could I come and get her!  Off I went!

When I got to his house, she answered.  He was sitting on the couch, drunk.  I sat down and pulled her on my lap, as she was sobbing!  It took a while to get her calm, I wanted to just take her home, but that little voice in my head told me I should stay a bit, to allow her to say bye to her dad (mistake!)  While we were sitting there, the Bull took off his sock, and shoved his foot in her face, and said: "I know how to make you feel better, my foot is getting better, I know that is what you are upset about"  ?????????WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??????  Then he asks her if she wants to rub it for him!  ICKY!!!  During this, the stupid woman from across the street comes over, she is intoxicated too!  She gets in Ariannes face and asks, "Is it the Holahoop, sweety?"  She thinks Arianne is upset about some holahoop that broke.  The Bull tells he to go home, Arianne is upset about his foot, then she tells him to be quiet, it is the holahoop!  Arianne in the meantime, is sitting on my lap with the most disgusted look on her face!  Finally, Donna goes home, and I can get Arianne out and i n the car.  In the car on the way home, she tells me...

When she go to Donna's "Daddy and Donna were drinking, there was beer on the floor, and it was disgusting"  Then Donna has to go pick up her middle child, in Kanata, that is a 20 min drive!  Arianne told me she was worried about Callie, and Donna, because Donna was drinking and driving (this is the same woman, who was in a car accident with Arianne in the car, and she lost her licence for a day, because she was over the limit!, I what FORBID my children to get in a car with her - this is relevant to later!!!)  She then told me "Daddy was babysitting us, and when Donna got home, she told Daddy to go home.   Then she made us watch a movie, and I did not want to watch it, so she told me to go to Daddy's"  Sigh.  What a disaster!

That week, Arianne ignored all calls from her friend.

During the next week he called to make arrangements to take them to the Gloucester Fair.  The Arrangement got complicated (and stupid, but really not too relevant to this story!)  But in the end, he picked them up at 12:30 saturday, and took them.  I gave them each $40, and reminded them where I would be, and gave them a cell phone, so they could call for ANY reason!  I had to teach at the pool on the other end of the city again that night.

That evening, after the class, my friend and I stood at chatted until 10:30 in the parking lot.  We discussed the kids.  She is the child of an Alcoholic, and gave me some really good percpective on the whole thing.  She reminded me, I am the Adult, and I have to make the decisions for the kids, asking them to evaluate a situation and call me if it is out of hand, it too hard for them!  It was really a good thing we talked, it helped me ALOT the next day.

The following morning, I called the Bull's house, and talked to Arianne.  I asked how it went.  She told me.  The short version:  He sat in the beer tent all afternoon, and could not drive them home, Donna did.  Donna also sat in the beer tent!

I WAS FURIOUS!

She also asked me to pick them up at noon!  That was odd! usually they wish to stay until dinner.

I drove over at EXACTLY noon.

Edward appeared from the house accross the street, gave me a big hug, and did not leave my side.  Arianne collected her stuff, and then they both got in the car, and the whole time, the Bull stood there, watching, looking sad and drunk!  They were not even going to say bye to him, I reminded them!

When we got home, I sat them down, and let them know.  I explained that clearly Daddy is getting worse not better, he can not care for them, and Donna is no better.  I then informed them that they would no longer be going to either house.  If Arianne wanted to play with her friends, they could come here, but she was not going to go there any more.  She was a little sad, but not really.

The following two weeks was pleasant, they were really happy kids, for a change!

Unfortunately, I could not get ahold of the Bull.  I left messages on his machine, asking him to call me.  I would not leave that info on the machine, I felt he needed to hear it live and have a chance to respond.  For a week and a half, he would not take my calls or return them.  Finally, this past Wednesday, his sister called and left a message, asking him to call me, and I called too.  If I did not hear from him that evening, I would leave it on his voice mail.  He called me back.  He took it well, he agreed, he informed me he had not drank since that weekend.  he knew that was REALLY bad. blah blah blah.  But, he did not make any plea for the kids!  Sad really!

Then on Friday, I got home and there was a message on my machine from Joan, Donna's mother.  Asking me to call, Donna was in the hospital!  I could not get ahold of her at that time, I called the Bull, he answered the third time.  He told me he did not have the details, but thought it was an allergic reaction.  That evening I finally got ahold of Joan, it was not an allergic reation, Donna had a stroke, it could have been her inhaller, or the fact that she was cleaning the basement, or maybe...... the Cocaine!!! ARGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!  Joan pleaded with me to go see Donna in the hospital, as she was depressed, and taking how it would have been better if she had died.  (Unfortunately, the evil part of my brain was thinking, YES!!!)  Anyway, the good part prevailed.  I went.  Unfortunately, Donna look pretty good, all things concidered.  I personally think she will have a full recovery!  DAMN IT! 

Well, I really did not know about the Coke.  I had my suspisions.  But it certainly validated my decision not to let the kids go there!  There is more to the story, but my hands are sore.

So that is it, the reason I NEED the Gargoyle.  The reason, I need something to look over me when I sleep.  The reason, I need something to consume the negative energy, and turn it positive.

Blessed Be!

Gargoyles are protective entities created to act as guardians. Depictions of gargoyles appear in medieval and gothic architecture, and it is no doubt that many of these ornamental creatures were enchanted to privide protection to their buildings.

 

There are seven or so types of lifeforms considered Gargoyles

 

1)Stayers are the defenders of Wizardry - Great Magics.

The Stayers are the first of what some scholars call Magichena, magically animated things that are "alive". Unlike many things, they know their history. The Stayers started existance as Guardian Statues, protecting the home of The Last Archwizard. They are of the classic Gargoyle mold, winged deformed humanoids. In an attempt to improve upon the basic guardian statue, the Archwizard gave them the ability to actually cast spells, so they could fly and project magic missiles. The first saw him create the second, those two saw him create the third, until all five original Stayers had been made.

The Stayers were somewhat intelligent and helpful. In addition to being powerful guardian statues, they became assistants... first of the tote and carry kind, but eventually doing a number of mundane and wizardly things for the ArchWizard.

 

2)Gharjoy are one of the seven things that are called Gargoyle. They may be the origin of all things Gargoyle. Gharjoy are astromorphs, astreal creatures. They are powerful hunting creatures who are "territorial", patroling their regions for things that pollute their territory. Their "visage" is quite horrific to those who can see them.

Gharjoy consume pawns (bundles) of negative energies. Each pawn is a combination of negative emotions, memories, and power- a sin in some parlances- Evil in others. They hunt any negative astromorph or pawn in their region.

Gharjoys, being positive energy creatures who fuze negative energy, have more "weight" than most astromorphs. They utilize the destructive energies to hunt and destroy other negative energy pawns and negative astromorphs. This balance of polarities allows them to focus upon the physical realm. Like all astreal things, unless they are anchored to the material in some way, they can only limitedly sense and interact with the physical. After finding a suitable anchor, they can bind themselves to the material and hunt there.

 

3)Geomorphs are related to Earth Elementals in structure and form, but these creatures have more in common with ectomorphs (spirit forms) than true Fey or Elementals. They may be a distant offshoot of spirit dragons.

In reality, they are actually an energy matrix, that soft glowing orb similar to all true Fey. Unlike most Fey, this orb can not shapeshift and become solid into traditional patterns. These matrices find there way into stone, embedding themselves into it, shaping and animating it. The form is normally based on the gente/ bloodline of the GeoMorph, but is normally a winged humanoid with a monsterous face and general human proportions. The form is clawed and the wings are similar to a bats or dragons rather than a feathered form. ). Some gentes/ bloodlines will be sphynx like, or one appears to be a pile of small rocks in a humanoid form.

Though nocturnal, they can function perfectly well during the day. (There is a theory that sunshine interferes with their control of the stone, which seems to be played out by their reduced speed, dexterity, and strength during the day).
