Following the witch: another hymn to Aphrodite

Once upon a Time in Italy near the comune of Nemi while walking at a crossroads amidst mystery and melancholy of the street I heard a talking walnut tree a peculiar pulpit and wandered through its holy woods. Carefully stepping through grasses and over mossy stones I came upon a deer path. A trail I tread until nightfall when it led to a lake. The water’s surface shimmered illuminated by the night sky. A cosmic mirror speckled with stars. Overcast on sunken warships of the Emperor sleeping on the lake’s bed dreaming of a drowned cat sacrificed in the sea to summon storms. So I made my way along its shore ruminating on the reflection and arrived at ancient ruins where walls had overgrown with weeping ivy and boughs blooming with mistletoe. A sanctuary where worshipped wilderness reclaimed broken bricks as its own. And solus amidst this Dianic scene was a woman whose white skin glowed under the full moon. Reminiscent of marble memorials or statuesque sculptures of Venus. She had a red

Death is the Start Chapter 18

Three days have passed since Sarah and Melissa returned from Starpoint and since then Melissa hasn’t left the morgue. She didn’t eat she didn’t sleep she just wasted away staring at her brother’s body on that table hoping for any sign that he was alive. She didn’t care how impossible it was she wanted to believe that he’d wake up. As time passed she became weaker and weaker but no matter what she wouldn’t leave. Unfortunately, the fatigue and hunger became too much to bear and rather slowly she started to fall out of the chair. Her face was inches away from the ground but it never reached thanks to a hand clutching her by the shirt. “H-he’s not gon-n-na wa-ake up.” Elsewhere Sarah laid awake in her bed she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she tried; her mind was restless with thoughts of everything that happened at Starpoint. Sarah looked at her clock and saw it was almost 2 in the morning. Sarah gave up and got out of bed hoping a walk might clear her head. She

Listening

As expected at Shadow Falls High, freshman student Enya Hathway had her nose buried in a mountain of books in the library. However, today, she was reading to distract herself from her silently enduring anguish. Outside her friends group, others didn't know she had a myriad of mental illnesses. One of the worst was she felt highly depressed right now. She'd attempted talking to her psychiatrist a few days ago concerning how she felt with no success. She had requested a meds change, and the doctor just told her to change her mindset and make a friend. It infuriated both her and her mother that the psychiatrist would be so dismissive. Particularly when Enya told her that she'd been waking up crying for weeks or how far down in the hole she was. Enya wondered why no one listened to individuals in crisis—or just listened in general, to be honest. She loathed the generalized statements therapists seemed to make or failed to realize their clients weren't all cut from the same cloth. Enya

You know what to do: report the stolen content in question as 'violating someone else's intellectual property', and then block the user. Edit: Okay...so, it looks like this particular instance may have been a misunderstanding stemming from this guy accidentally posting a character he already sold. Keeping this up in case that isn't what happened, though. Edit 2: Yep, this one's a false alarm. Damage is already done, however.

Lost at Sea

It was the perfect day to venture out on the open seas. Princess Vanessa eagerly awaited her father's annual voyage through the archipelago to revitalize bonds with the other islands. The trip lasted a month, so she treasured it so much. Since her mother always stayed home, it was just her and her Daddy relishing the high seas without her monstrous excuse for a mother coming along. However, when she reached the piers with her luggage to board the vessel, her father's prized ship was gone without her! It was too far out to sea for them to hear her call. She started crying, knowing her father would never do this to her on purpose. Consequently, she stormed back up to the castle, arriving at her mother's private chambers and demanding to know how she had coerced her father to leave her behind. The monarch was most displeased with her daughter's 'tantrum' and refused to answer her questions. She only said if she were going to behave like a child, she'd be grounded like one. Her

DarChronicles Magic System

With me having completed DarChronicles Volume 1 – Assassin Princess, I figured it would be a good time to explain the magic system. While I have explained it before, this current iteration is version 6 and it's more in-depth than ever. Yes, the magic system is explained in Chapter 4 of Assassin Princess with more information regarding magic scattered throughout the novel. What is magic? To explain this, first we have to take a deep dive into DarChronicles lore. DarChronicles, while set in a steampunk fantasy world, takes place in the future—technically being a post-apocalyptic world. In ancient times, humanity had flourished as a civilization and achieved its pinnacle, being able to draw energy from even the stars through the use of dyson spheres and they traversed outer space and colonized multiple planets throughout the galaxy. Humanity had become an intergalactic civilization. In this advanced society, humanity eventually built these devices that the citizens of Bectar

I don't know why But I still get nervous when I'm around you I lose my words I can't look you straight in the eyes We've been together for almost a year And I still can't get the words rights It's like I get butterflies when I'm around you Can't express how I feel I don't know why Why I still get nervous around you Maybe it's cause I don't want to say the wrong words and get hurt again Maybe one day I'll find my strength again Look you in the eyes And tell you how I feel Without getting nervous

Abomination: City of Ice Ch38: Renegades

Every city has that one area that represents everything that is wrong with society. It’s a place of darkness, greed, corruption, and death, a place where only the desperate or the despicable go, a place where someone without morals could sate any desire they wished. It was a place where the law was a distant memory, mercy unheard of, and where both gold and blood flowed freely and in equal amounts. In Iceport that place was known as the Ghost District, a region of dilapidated and mostly abandoned warehouses, crumbling docks, burned-out dwellings, cheap tenements, rowdy taverns, and sinister gambling dens. With evening rapidly approaching, Shelagh and Oktha moved as quickly as they could through the blighted streets of the Ghost District, following the hastily drawn map their teenage informant had provided them. Several of the buildings were naught but vacant shells, their roofs and interiors long collapsed, and even the occupied buildings looked to be near collapse from vandalism

Did You Miss Me? Part 2

I don’t remember much of the drive from the restaurant. My thoughts raced with anticipation. He’d never been this stern before. We’d discussed dominance and submission, but I’d only had snippets of exposure. How am I going to do this? I can’t be his submissive little whore. This isn’t who I am. I am always in control. Gregory shattered our silence as he commented, “Oh little slut, I’ve missed your feistiness. I’ve missed you.” We arrived at our destination- somewhere I was unfamiliar. Nervousness plagued my insides. He exited the driver’s side, instantly appearing to my right, and the door opened. “Come here and let me welcome you properly,” he beckoned, grabbing my wrist and pulling me to him. His hand snaked to the crown of my head, grasping a fistful of my short hair. He took my mouth with tenacity, a flood of emotion filling my chest and belly as he kissed me. I mewed softly as he continued with fervor, my nervousness dissolved as I sank deep into his arms. Just as I felt

Errek breathed in the still night air. Cool. Crisp. Infused with tangy sweat. That perfume never escaped the streets. Twining between buildings, it drew him to the city’s heart. Away from dark corners. Out of the side alleys. Straight into— Pulled back from lamplight. Stumbling, he caught his weight on the singular crutch he had begrudgingly brought with him. “You don’t need to go that far.” Turning to Torani, Errek leveled his tone. “It’s been slim pickings so far. I have to go somewhere.” “Don’t pretend you don’t know where you’re headed.” “When Kordi took me out, we went to the town center to scope out targets.” “The city is a different beast. Stick to the alleys.” “All right.” Errek shrugged. “I guess I’m not so hungry that I can’t skip a meal.” The crutch clacked forward three paces. Errek only heard that and his own footsteps. Torani had remained in place. Gotcha. “You coming?” Torani’s brow furrowed. He chewed his lip. His tense shoulders drooped.

Since they had already drawn attention to themselves, Torani nixed Errek’s suggestion to reach the warehouse through the fence gap. Instead, they moved on and doubled back, approaching the building from behind. The fence was unbroken there. Getting Errek through it would be difficult. Torani kindly offered to let Errek stay behind. Errek declined. He explained that watching Torani figure out an inside hunt would let them both learn at the same time. In truth, he did not trust Torani to fairly judge the risk. He wanted to see it for himself. Errek won that battle. Torani dug a hole under the fence and pulled Errek through. The warehouse’s back wall was solid brick broken by occasional windows. Like those in the front, the windows’ glass had been broken in and the frames boarded over. Torani cruised past them to the left side wall. No doors or windows. The right side was no better. The only entry point there was a crooked, roll-up garage door. A locked one. Torani sighed.

Unquenchable fire raced along a black pool, bringing heat without light. Hungry sand sucked the world into its coarse, abrasive maw. A disembodied heart beat no matter how many times it was crushed. Fragmented flashes from Torani’s fitful sleep. In as much as it could be called sleep. He fought to reclaim full consciousness. Delirious, he felt around his den. No. Not his den. Just a hole in the ground. A makeshift safe spot. Where was Ile-Ran…? No. Errek. Where was Errek? Torani was alone. Panicked, he sat up—bumped into clay. Wormed around. There was already a tunnel open to the surface. Scraping at the walls, he pulled himself forward. Grabbed a handful of grass from above. Both hands out. His torso out. Panting. Frantically scanning the horizon. “Torani? Are you okay?” Torani squirmed around to face Errek. Swallowed. Sheepishly pulled himself the rest of the way out. “Evening.” “Did you think I left you?” “Not by choice. Ilen might have the hunters after

Torani tripped over a stray raised root in the darkness. He caught himself, but only barely. Walking all night after a week of hiding in his cramped den was murder on his legs. What he would have given for working wings. It would have been so much easier to find the spot if he could fly. Panting, he leaned against a tree. A break. Just a short— “I’ve waited long enough, Torani.” “I know, Ilen. It’s just… just…” He pointed weakly ahead. More trees. Identical to the one he leaned on. Identical to the forest behind him. Her judgement filled the silence. He pushed away from his resting spot and trudged forward. A light beam panned through the scrub, momentarily blinding Torani. “That! See that! I told you!” Stumbling faster. Crunching leaves turned to hard asphalt underfoot. He skidded to a stop and back peddled off the road. That long, black expanse wended for miles in either direction. “This. Everything you need, we can get here.” Directly to his right. “Is this a

Errek and Kordi arrived at the nest near sunrise. She was annoyed the trip took so long, but nothing could be done about it. He needed to memorize the landmarks along their path. That took time. At least that was what he told her. In truth, his bad leg ached if he ran while carrying his victim. Slowing down to “look for landmarks” was the only way he could make the journey. Frustrated or not, at least Kordi seemed to be in better spirits. She joked and jeered as if the conversation about instinct and orders had never happened. Errek let her win the race to entrance tunnel. It allowed him a final look at the sky. At the outside world’s boundless glory. The infinite. How he loathed their suffocating, cramped nest. “Errek, what are you doing?” She peeked out of the tunnel. Did she feel the same way about returning home? He doubted it. “Nothing.” Dejectedly, he trailed in after her. Serana’s approving whistle welcomed them into the main chamber. “You each have one? I
