Marko was still arguing with the spell weaver, when a bang sounded in their midst. The group ducked, looking around for a shooter. They were bewildered until Janet drew their attention to a red dot of light which suddenly materialized, right in front of her. They watched it grow steadily into a small pulsating orb, that momentarily hovered in place, […]
The vapor creeping underneath the door appeared to be sentient. It suddenly expanded and began rolling through the room towards them. Jagathy, Marko, Andrea and Janet succeeded in waking four warriors and getting them to their feet, before it rolled over them. Jagathy urged the group to follow him towards the other end of the massive storage space. The vapors […]
Ethan smiled invitingly at Andrea. She took another step back. Perhaps it was a trick of the dim light, but something unpleasant appeared to be lurking behind his expression. It was less a smile than baring his teeth. Andrea realized that her nerves were still on edge after the melee in the church, but she did not want to dismiss […]
Reverend Mother was so experienced with the spirit whistle, she could tell from Harriet’s body language the moment that Samentha took the reins of Harriet’s consciousness. By the time the nursing home staff came bursting through the door, Samentha had already seated Harriet’s body comfortably next to Reverend Mother’s bed. The two of them feigned ignorance about the shrill noise. […]
Opening the hatch in the floor unfurled a ladder. They clambered down and the warriors hurriedly led them down a dark, narrow hallway below ground. The bleached stone walls reminded Janet of a medieval dungeon. She felt the chill in the air and wondered where they were being taken. All Janet could see ahead was a doorway’s dim outline at […]
I placed a restraining hand on Plum’s arm, unable to believe that she was just going to walk towards the cyclone of ectoplasmic energy empty-handed. Beastie was walking a few paces behind us. He looked up and paused, patiently waiting for us to start walking. “What are you doing?” “What does it look like I’m doing darling? I have to […]
Harriet wanted to come up with a convincing excuse to get out of visiting Reverend Mother. The last thing she felt up to was being lectured or cross-examined. On the other hand, the longer she put off visiting, the angrier her mother would be. Harriet thought about her fight with Joshua and groaned. She needed to go see their mother […]
Plum directed Delilah to a site across town. When she finally told her to pull over, everyone looked around in bewildered silence. Plum smiled broadly. “Well come on then. What are you waiting for, an engraved invitation to the battle? Everyone get out. Let’s get this show on the road.” Delilah looked at her sideways, “Where exactly are we going? […]
Reverend Mother lie in a narrow nursing home bed and tried to make sense of the events which landed her there. One moment, she was at the doctor’s office with her son Joshua and daughter Rachel getting the wound on her abdomen treated. The next thing she knew, the doctor was telling her that she needed to be transferred to […]
Plum’s offer to use magic as a way out of the predicament of a group of angry witches at our heels made sense. But I felt reluctant, because it could be another trap. Now that her soul was displaced from its host body, Plum might be coveting mine. This idea preoccupied me to the point that I forgot to shield […]
