About Duskglimmer

Duskglimmer was born at 12:13 on a Thursday morning in early November. If she tells you she remembers the smell of aging leaves and crisp snow coming across the mountains, she's lying. She can't remember. She imagines. Since then, she's been imagining quite a few things: what it would be like do magic, the best way to live on the oceans, how long it would take to escape duct-tape bindings and what spices would be neccesary to make dragon stew palatable. In between imaginings she went to college, studied Creative Writing and Classical Studies, and now teaches 6th-8th graders the joys of dead languages. In the future she hopes to actually figure out what it would be like to climb in a ship's rigging, and to earn her MFA in Creative Writing.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
