Interestingly enough, a new location made itself known to me. A white light appeared in the wardrobe in what used to be my room. Going through on a whim, I found myself in a place called the "Nexus". Whatever that is supposed to mean. However, I think I may be getting closer to my goal. There are in fact alchemists in this place, which I am going to call my new home, considering I have no intention, desire, or idea how to return to the world I entered from.
The alchemists will pay, to be sure. But they will have a temporary reprieve while I learn a new art: The art of fighting with knives. During my self-imposed training earlier, in the other world, it became apparent that my powers alone would not kill easily. While they worked well for causing suffering -- which I certainly want to make the alchemists do -- I realized just how slowly hair killed, regardless of its versatility. So when one person in the Nexus let me know that he was skilled with knives, I realized I had to learn some sort of lethal weapon, and so I met Changeling.
Changeling is an interesting person. He seems very hands-on in his approach, and quite effective, as well. He knows how to properly wield his knife. And of course, as I am learning with my time in the Nexus, I would venture to say that he is attractive. All of which are not complaints.
I only take brief time away from my schedule to post this. As it stands, Changeling is waiting for me to return to the room. Perhaps I'll indulge him after all.
