I was really worried about the fight with the vampires...for about half a second. Until I heard Ebenezar roar "Teine!" at the top of his lungs and fucking seven bus sized COLUMN of fire smashed into the closest crowd of vampires. Nearly a hundred of the undead b...
2021-10-31 08:11:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt felt like I watched Raven's body fall in slow motion, but somehow instantaneous at the same time. All I knew was before she even finished hitting the ground Lord Raith had stepped over her, casually strolling out into the crowd of Black court and up to the altar. He accepted a &nbs...
2021-10-30 05:44:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe entrance to the vampire den was, ironically enough, a church. While amusing because of both the absurdity of vampires living in a church, especially Blampires, it was also kind of fitting. Our search started underground in a church and was ending underground below one. I &nb...
2021-10-29 07:11:40 +0000 UTC View PostLuckily for us, everyone was more than eager to move up the date of engagement. I'd expected some of them to be busy but I suspect like us they were all preparing for what we would find. I'd seen vampires galore and thralls by the bucketful but I'd only seen the area surrounding...
2021-10-28 19:46:14 +0000 UTC View PostHarry's reaction to my new, more refined features was much more direct than Lily's. "Hell's Bell's kid, what did you do to yourself?" He looked deeply troubled, and I watched his eyes lose focus before he cursed and covered them with his arm. "Shit, that's bright. What the ...
2021-10-27 07:01:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip to Mac's didn't take very long, and when we arrived early I was shocked to see that Mac actually served breakfast. Deciding to take advantage I ordered a western omelette and some fresh squeezed orange juice. Raven and Cinder had the same, while Kara, Yang, and Barb ord...
2021-10-26 18:46:37 +0000 UTC View PostI was making a habit of getting knocked unconscious, and I was starting to get really annoyed. Though it was night and I had voluntarily gone to sleep so I wasn't sure it counted. The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I was back in bed. The sun was streaming in...
2021-10-25 10:45:16 +0000 UTC View PostThat night found me in our backyard alone. I left Barb and Raven to cuddle and came out to do a bit of solo training. The week of independent study back in Colorado had paid off well, and I was going to try to make it a habit to work on things on my own once in a while so I &nbs...
2021-10-24 09:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up is hard to do. Or at least, it used to be. As I came awake this time though the fuzzy veil of sleep slid off my newly refined brain like a magician yanking off a handkerchief. I went from asleep to awake, like a switch had been flipped. It was an oddly disturbing ...
2021-10-23 18:52:52 +0000 UTC View PostOur first step here was going to be setting things up properly. We needed to make sure that when the White Court got called in they had allies in place that could pressure them ahead of time. To that end I called Harry, who was thrilled I was awake, and asked him to arrange a &n...
2021-10-22 17:51:42 +0000 UTC View PostI looked down at the mess. They must have heard us but they didn’t bother us. Luckily half our tenants were sex vampires and this was probably pretty much par for the course for them. Even Inari most likely had been around her sisters fucking plenty of guys before she knew about her vampire her...
2021-10-21 23:39:05 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned in pain as I came back to consciousness. I was on my couch this time, which was nice. Last time I’d been lying on cold ground. I really needed to stop getting knocked out it was actually super bad for you. Hopefully my new mental upgrade came with some kind if regeneration or somethin...
2021-10-21 23:37:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip back to Tera's clearing was pretty much a day at the park compared to our journey here. I'd seen Tera move through these woods with a surety and grace that had boggled my mind and mimicking her had gotten us here silently, but Tera wasn't a normal person. She had more &...
2021-10-21 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThough we couldn't interfere in the Sanctum invocation we were easily able to climb a nearby hill to watch. I had luckily had the foresight to bring a pair of binoculars. Barb had come equally prepared but the other two were clearly never whatever Remnant's version of scouts was...
2021-10-20 08:16:57 +0000 UTC View PostConnor was hands down one of the most hyperactive kids I had ever met, and that was saying something. The five year old was bouncing off the...well trees I guess but he was everywhere, chattering away happily to all his new friends. Poot little guy clearly didn't see other peopl...
2021-10-19 10:20:56 +0000 UTC View PostIf looking at the island was creepy and disturbing, setting foot on it was like standing on a piece of enriched uranium. I could feel the evil radiating off the sand beneath my feet like a physical force. Luckily I was wearing my trusty Hazmat amulet. I saw the others jump down ...
2021-10-18 19:43:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning found us all at the docks. Dalton had been able to find a perfect ship for us, granted with the rush delivery it cost us a cool quarter million dollars, but he was able to get it for us the next morning. April was still early enough in the year to be chilly &nbs...
2021-10-17 22:40:20 +0000 UTC View PostCharles came back fairly quickly, still pale and holding his arm against his side but trying to be inconspicuous about it. I'd pocketed the money the girls had forked over and was enjoying the rum again. Barb had taken an actual swig of the stuff, much to Morgan's disappointment...
2021-10-16 21:18:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe car pulled up on the docks of Lake Michigan and I had to hide a gleeful smile. This place was...amazing. As I climbed out, I took in the rotting wood and smelled the dampness in the air. The tavern I was meeting them at was called the Crying Limey, and I was able to pick it ...
2021-10-15 22:20:25 +0000 UTC View PostOnce everyone had scattered to the winds I had the unfortunate realization that I had neglected to give myself a task. But despite wracking my brains I couldn't think of a single thing to do. I'd covered all my bases. I let out a grunt of frustration. I contented myself wo...
2021-10-14 21:33:18 +0000 UTC View PostToday had been pretty exhausting, so we told Raven and Cinder and the girls we would fill them in tomorrow and headed to bed. Of course Barb and I took Raven with us, but she was fairly quiet when it was just the three of us unless she had something important to say and trusted ...
2021-10-13 23:45:47 +0000 UTC View PostI looked at Henry questioningly "Ok so we have to do out part first, how will she contact us when it's done?" Not that I was against visiting Henry again but it seemed like a waste of time to go all the way to Demonreach then come all the way back here. I figured a powerful &nbs...
2021-10-12 22:19:13 +0000 UTC View PostAs we went further into Henry's lab I couldn't help but be impressed. I could see rows of tables with potions simmering, most of them using complex glass equipment I couldn't begin to name. The potion's were bubbling and swirling through the tubes and beakers. I looked over at &...
2021-10-11 19:16:45 +0000 UTC View PostWe all stared in shock at Henry. The magic I was feeling from him was strong. Like senior council level strong. I didn't really have much in the way of magical senses hence the magic eye spell but this guy was pumping out enough power to warp the world around us slightly. Even a...
2021-10-10 22:41:56 +0000 UTC View PostI had always been fascinated by the idea of Undertown. Ever since I read about the place I had done tons of research on real life equivalents. The idea of a city beneath a city had been something I'd been interested in from way back in my childhood. Sadly nothing quite lik...
2021-10-09 23:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostI let Harry take this part. We had already told him every detail of what the vampire had said. Honestly Harry could probably have just talked to Bob alone but we were coming over for Yang's lessons anyway so he decided to just wait a night and ask Bob when we showed up. The big ...
2021-10-08 19:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostWe ended up getting to Harry's place at around five in the afternoon. The old run down boarding house looked that same as it had a month ago, the basement apartment still invisible at the bottom of its steps. It wasn't hard to notice there was a place there however because a str...
2021-10-07 21:27:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the day went by pretty quickly, our reunions were happy and relaxing and we all went to bed that night happy to be home. We spent hours catching up with Yang hearing about her progress and the new magic she'd been learning. Raven had been able to engineer some solid ...
2021-10-06 21:04:41 +0000 UTC View PostWe made it back to the house around noon. The time difference in faerie made it pretty much impossible to estimate what time we would be in so we decided to surprise everyone. We stopped as we stepped out of the car, staring up at the gorgeous Suburban house we all shared, huge ...
2021-10-06 00:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostWe got back to the hotel in a few hours and all passed out. The fight had been at sundown, but between the hours getting up and down and the battle, not to mention being on a knife's edge the entire evening we were all exhausted. Barb and I didn't get any sexy time sadly, but I ...
