    "Oh, a puppy, that's cool." That was stupid, who brought their dog into danger? Little thing, too, not one of the war dogs that could be found in Somniāre with their massive heads and jaws and of course, pure black pelts. Always needed a good war dog that was black to help hide all the blood and...

    Open Welcome to Barrow Falls

    Growing up in rituals of blood and shadow had prepared her for anything unsettling. The Church could be creepy like this. Not all of it. Most of it was presentable with silver and moonstone, Sognare marble and obsidian shined so well it reflected all of the moons. It was the deeper levels that...

    Open Welcome to Barrow Falls

    "Shit, I lost the kid." And your dignity. Red eyes rolled over as the fog grew thick around her. Despite being clad in black and more black, the fog was opaque, hiding her boots from her crimson sight. Just in case, Solitude lifted her knee, easing the silly fear that the fog had somehow...

    Open Twice a Sinner, Half a Saint

    There was a long silence that stretched on and on like hot mozzarella cheese. Sure, there were sounds like chewing and munching, a crackling flame, dry logs breaking and falling, young children screaming and shouting, hushed whispers and soft scoldings. But Valois shifted on the stool like a bad...

    "It's not as good as Mom's," A man said to a woman with long dark hair. "It's never gonna taste as good as Mom's." She sighed, brought the spoon up to her lips, took another slurp of red broth filled with clams and mussels. "It's not as sweet." The man nodded. "You could've made it." "Leo...

    What the heck did auspicious mean? Auspicious. It sounded like one of those words that really fancy people used. Or one of the words someone who did nothing but read books all day would use. Solitude debated on what it could mean. Was it about coincidence? She wasn't sure. Solitude also wasn't...

    Dare Sinister Faces, Growing Curses

    If she were smart, she would have gone back inside the room. The blonde knew too much, even though Solitude had kept her words brief enough. Solitude wondered if the blonde was the sort who made everything her business, and, if so, how dangerous that would be while she lingered about with Eddy...

    Dare Sinister Faces, Growing Curses

    A dark brow peaked over the crimson gaze as Solitude turned to face the one that many would claim to be the other half of the coin. It wasn't just the pure blonde hair and bright crystalline eyes that were different; it was the poise and elegance in how she moved and spoke. Solitude may have the...

    Dare Sinister Faces, Growing Curses

    Edlin Socorro was an evil man who liked to be called Eddy because he thought it made him more approachable. Eddy was not a good man, but he was a genius. The sort of genius who struggled to get along with others, who found everyone around him to be dull and stupid. He didn't care about being an...

    Hunger gnawed at her gut, heavy and oily and sick. Solitude swallowed thickly, crimson eyes finding Brother Godbehir had his eyes on the blazing hearth. He ignored the children playing with the Deva, his shadow undulating strangely beneath him, a shape with wings instead of a large man on a...

    "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." "Vicar Eutrapelia has become a false prophet of our faith," the Archbishop Jubilee told the assassins once they had drunk the blood of the Mother and eaten the flesh of...

    "She's a good kid, but she was still born a sinner." There once was a couple that had suffered greatly, feeling as if their very life was forsaken. The wife's womb was poisoned, any child unable to survive it. The husband had been beaten, losing a hand and his eyesight, unable to work or...
