His black tongue licks along his teeth and a shuddering growl vibrates in his throat. There is an anxious flutter in my belly as his gaze deepens and I move to cover myself. I stop and go over to the cauldron. I take one of the bowls from the side and fill it with the stew.
“You have scars,” Gryndren murmurs.
I take a pillow from the bedchamber and set it on a stone as I eat. “Yes,...

I have been working for True Love’s Kiss for a few months now. I’ve finally gotten into the swing of things and all my ideas have started to get worked into the daily routine. Claude is allowing me to hire on a few new people, including a full-time receptionist and someone to do our laundry. I’ve gotten close to pretty much everyone who works in the parlor, and I already have regular clients. 2019-11-08 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
“What sort of creatures have you fought against?” Nicolai asks. His voice gives away his age, as do his big eyes, one blue, one brown.
“Oh, many things,” I chuckle. “I’ve been at this since I was your age.”
Nicolai’s eyes go wider. “What was your first?”
I think for a moment. “It was a Mortabulus, near the mountains of Charbagne. They call them bone eaters and they usually pester places like tombs and graveyards. This one had lost it’s mind and ...

Once upon a time, there was a princess who was betrothed to a very powerful king. The princess was considered very beautiful, but people thought she was strange. She liked to tell stories that often were frightening and horrible, so she was made to remain silent. The princess was excited to meet her king, and to get away from the family that had kept her silent for so long.
Unfortunately,...

The next day I decide to travel along the path to see if I saw anything. I’m not sure why I felt the need to do this, perhaps curiosity, maybe just for answers. I packed a small bag with food and water and headed out. The path really did remain, cutting through the woods and winding down, smoothed by time and kept revealed by something else.

Back in high school, I was over the moon about a boy. He was a goofy boy, a dumb boy, but he was my boy. He was overly skinny and gangly, the star of the swimming team. He had long blond hair, and that was part of what drew me to him. I sat behind him in English and wou...

Himgre scoffs. “I’ll give you two weeks before you come back here telling me to scorch the place.”
I stick my tongue out at him. “Bet you I won’t.”

People tend to make fun of that opening line that has become ripe for parody in all spooky B-flick movies, but right now, I feel it in my bones. It was a dark and stormy night - what more do you need? It tells you everything you ever need to know about the scene it’s going to set. For me, it is as factual as the little engine light flashing on my dashboard. My Dad likes to call those littl...

Himgre scoffs. “Tea Country is a dangerous bet. It’s all flat land, nowhere to hide, nowhere to perform your tricks,” he chuckles. “Sure, it is a rich land, filled with even richer people, but you are taking a risk attacking there.”

The village you live in is home to a tribe of Northern Orcs. The Polar can be a harsh place to live, so having a close-knit community is the key to survival. The Orcs are a major source of meat and furs for the entire village, and your father has done trade with them for ages. His garden of onions and garlic do well with the Orcs, who enjoy their flavor. You have kept up the tradition, trading garlic...

I kiss him, crawling under the covers beside him. “We didn’t want to wake you, so we went and had a chat in the bath.”
Claude wraps his arms around me, pulling me to his chest. “I hope you know how lucky you are, Archie. Getting to spend so much time with Inara.”

Ages ago, the Golems were enslaved, their skills used to mine the deepest reaches for the most glorious of treasures. The Golems rose up against their captors, earning their freedom and returning to their homeland in the northern mountains of Dimgrin, where Reuel, grandfather of Habbar, was made king. Before leaving, Reuel laid a curse upon the mines where he and his fellow Golems had once...

The room is wide and open, but there are islands of sofas and chairs dotting the grounds. One section is all green, another is all blue, the color coded islands of comfortable furniture have me wondering if it is done out of aesthetic or for a particular reason.
The front desk is a massive circle in the very center of the room. There is a station ...

Mr. Faire has extended a glamour to Farrow and Barbol. This allows them to come to the carnival to watch the cabaret act Mom, Mama, and Dad perform, as well as my act with Valentine. It’s been nice for them, as they have always had to remain in the house or in the Beneathe with their family.

“How are you?” I ask Canvas as he slouches over on the bed.
“Not sure,” he grumbles. “Everything feels so weird.” He lays on his back, gazing up at the ceiling. “I’m not sure what to even say to him. It’s been so long.”

You would think, working and living in a carnival, and having parents who are natural performers, that stage fright would be the farthest thing from my mind. But the fact of the matter is, getting on stage still terrifies me. I have a habit of hiding under the bed just before a show, especially during an opening night. I feel safe there, hidden away under the mattress, beneath the sheets a...
