Finding John Constantine was a lot easier said than done, I discovered, because after two weeks, there was nothing from Zatanna about him. We didn't even know if he was still alive or not, and if he was, then the impression that I got was that he didn't want to be found. Still, Zatanna seemed det...

It wasn't the first time she thought it through a very long night, as every monster in a ten league radius was drawn right to them -- drowners, ghouls, a water bag, and even a werewolf seemed paltry compared to the ...

It was like the ocean waves, it started off gently, then, before he knew it, the top of a wave came crashing down and dragged him underneath the surface. His skin felt all tingly and sensitive, Guts’ rough leather pouch grating on ...

There was some flatland near the river that flowed east towards Alabu, my farmstead located further west than my parent’s. There were also rolling hill...

2022-07-26 14:37:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Shit,” I cursed, falling to the ground and landing on the soft grass and dirt, my legs giving out from underneath me. There were more than a few laughs at my expense, Father's loudest among them all. Using my axe and shield, I pushed myself up and used them to steady myself. Without them, I ...
2022-07-26 14:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe pace of change was a fickle thing, I learned. It can crash over you like a tidal wave, sweeping you out to sea. Yet, other times, it was slow. Gradual. Glacial. Change was something that you couldn't run from. You couldn't hide from it either. Change was a fundamental aspect of the world -- s...

Well, I suppose that wasn't true -- I did show up at his completely ineffective prison unannounced, but he was the one that threw the first punch and blatantly ignored the people I was traveling with. If he hadn't...
