“Maybe all we had has always been right
Think of all the love you gain when you send it over
Think of all the wool I’ve spun to be here tonight”

A good intelligence officer should not have any tells. They should never, under any circumstances, endanger the mission by falling for and sleeping with their partner. It was a very good thing, then, that Cassian was currently on furlough because he was failing miserably on both counts.
For the first time in many years, a mission—the mission—was not his responsibility. He would let others handle it. On Mon Mothma’s orders, no less! He silently admitted that he felt guilty for feeling so free and happy so soon after the events of Scarif, especially with the Princess still missing, but for once

I am sure they are engaging company.”
Cassian had been arguing with Kay for the better part of an hour as he and the others packed their rucksacks for the hike.

“Would we get a little peace and quiet if you did?” questioned Cassian innocently, as he slipped an extra piece of fruit into his bag.
Kaytoo huffed but didn’t retort. He did however, Cassian noticed, give a small kick to Jyn’s bag as soon as Cassian turned his back. Chirrut smiled and even Baze gave a small smirk. Jyn, on the other hand, shot the droid a look of annoyance and rested her hand upon her holster threateningly. Cassian pretended not to

Secretly, she was afraid about being split up after their furloughs and recoveries were over. Those days were fast approaching, and with daily trips into the jungle it was hard to deny. Chirrut could only be so convincing. Even Mothma would ask them back eventually, her good faith run out, especially if the plans were truly lost… She pushed those thoughts away and threw herself fully into the mission of finding the ruins. Jyn, brave, reckless, self-interested survivalist, always had to have a mission. Her new mission was not about surviving. It was about living. About letting herself to take the time she needed and about not letting time slip away too fast. She promised herself that she would not run from Cassian or the others. She didn’t know if Cassian had enough clout with Draven and Mothma to keep them all together, but she hoped… After hiking for the entire morning and well into the afternoon, they came upon a cluster of ancient temples that could be miniatures of the great temple. The tallest of them couldn’t have been but half the size of the real thing, but it was still a curious site. The base on Yavin 4 was strangely modernized for the Alliance’s purposes, outfitted with screens, scanners, and a War Room. These temples, on the hand, were slowly being reclaimed by the earth. Vines wrapped around stone, cracked and crippled. The ground had not been trod

    King Arthur and Spiderman are two fictitious characters that are both similar, and dissimilar to each other. In an excerpt from Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he writes about monomyth, which is a twelve step process that is divided into four sections. This represents a continuous cycle that the character in the story must go through in order to complete their journey. King Arthur and Spiderman follow the cycle of the Heroes Journey by events in their lives made parallel to the cycle of the Heroes Journey. King Arthur and Spiderman, although from two different ends of the spectrum, are actually alike, both coming from epic tales of struggles and triumph.…

    Sitting at my desk, I stared down at my schoolwork while my mind remained static. Suddenly, I found myself beginning to radiate golden light as my body faded from existence; then before I knew it, I rematerialized out of thin air. This does not happen often, so I was rather confused as I stood atop a cloud, high up in the sky. That is, until I noticed a large, human-like figure appear before me in a holy light. He raised his hands and smiled down at me before bellowing out, “Behold, for it is I; Gabe Newell!”…

I am definitely not a hero, but my journey of finding Christ and giving my life to him has absolutely made me into a better person overall. As I look at my journey of finding Christ, I see that it has many similarities to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.…
