"It's My Life"

It felt like it was just yesterday, journal. Let me tell you a little about how Steel Stinger started.
 
The view pans out. Dusk is rolling in over a long road through the plains. Two figures can be seen walking across. Two women. One, a sharp mouthed wolf woman with a permanent grin on. "Come on, Gerry! Let's make camp at that hill over there!" the wolf yelled to her companion. Her short but dexterous frame yelling to her companion. She swept her hand over her forehead and through her dark, spiked hair before shedding her jacket and tying it around her waist. Her companion, a tall lion girl shook her hair out. "What? Tired already, little pup?" she said with a grin. "Ah, fuck off, pussy cat!" she yelled back with a laugh. The two went for the nearest hill and quickly built a fire before setting some cured meats to cook. "We don't gotta worry about watches out here right?" said Edea. "If you wanna become bandit bait, nope not at all, "said Gerry sarcastically. "Ah, fine..."
 
Edea laid back, her arms behind her head. "This's gonna be fuckin'AWESOME!" she smiled a huge toothy grin as she looked up into the starry sky. "We are going to fuckin' rock ALL of Gaia!" "That's great and all, "said Gerry dryly," but we still need...oh I dunno...lead kythera, bass kythera, percussion...uh...songs, a name..." "Ah come on. We're Steel Stinger We're gonna get all of that too! We're just gonna start small!" Edea responded as she bolted up. "Come on! Shale started out just busking on the streets on her own! And Elwing was a solo act her whole life!" "I know, dumb ass," said Gerry, " I know we needed to get outta there, but you didn't have a plan." "NO. I just followed my musician's instinct!" said Edea with a grin pointing to herself. Gerry only starred blankly. "Come on! It's me! I haven't got a clue! But I had a fuckin' VISION!" "Okay...where does your vision tell us to go..."
 
Edea stopped and paced around the fire back and forth...back and forth...before slapping her fist into her outstretched hand. "Let's start with our first hit song! Something simple that just the two of us can do! Instruments and lyrics will be simple but it's still gonna FUCKING ROCK!" Edea blurted out. "Could you keep your fuckin' voice down?! You want this whole prairie to hear us?" retorted Gerry. "What, "Edea snarked, " You afraid some big scary monster's gonna come and eat our...souls..." Edea said..."Shit, that's awesome!" she said as she sat back down and pulled out her kythera. "Me and my sis Gerry were out..."she began to sing. "Shit...there's so many songs about being on the road...ship maybe?" "Eddie, c'mon. We need a place to go. We might be able to head for Crell at the next port...maybe Treesenia..." "Wait!" Edea stopped and closed her eyes while holding up a finger. "What's the most metal nation around?" Gerry stopped, "Uhhhh...." "You know. Lots of spikes, skulls, and shit like that!" "......Amaranthine...wait...Eddie no!" "C'mon! Their music scene must be awesome! It's the best place to learn! We might even be able to pick up a band mate there! C'mon!" Gerry sighed knowing when Edea made her mind up it was hard to dissuade her..."Amaranthine it is..." "Fuck yeah!"
