Glaurnaneth and Faramir can be found together in the park. The Dragon is probably more noticable, as she is in her Draconic form - 200' long, with an equally massive wingspan, though those are folded against her back at the moment - curled up in the grass ( Read more... )

It was nearly seven, Hannibal had just finished setting the table for his guests. The appetizer salad was sitting at each place setting with all of the appropriate silverware, napkin, and wine glasses. He had a variety of bottles prepared for this evening, four were specifically paired with each dish for any of his guests that enjoyed wine. He ( Read more... )

I love you, Belle. You made me stronger.

Having those as his last words should have made it hurt less. Knowing that he had done the right thing--the brave thing--in great part because of her love should have made it easier to accept his sacrifice ( Read more... )

She raged. The one thing that drew her to Man, the one Man worth anything, was dead. On top of that, her Bargain had been unfulfilled, and she had been the one to default. Within her, Madness swirled and threatened to take over the Dragon's entire being.

"Glaurmir," she called, looking around the cave she shared with her son. She looked around ( Read more... )

Artemis had been quiet since Destruction had left. Something about his absence made her angry, but there was no one to pin the anger on so she kept it quiet and close. The anger kept her distracted from the loneliness at least. She would not pine for him! The very thought made her stomach hurt ( Read more... )

Kerai was gone. Cas hadn't been so sure before, but now her name was wiped from the hotel registry books and her contact information from the messenger. He knew that there had been so much more she could have taught him, and that during their short time together here in the village she had become much more than just a friend of his- she was family ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the anniversary of my death, a fact that I didn't even notice until after I'd eaten supper. I've been becoming more at peace with it, for a number of reasons. It brought me here, for one and I'm not actually dead at home for another. I just never thought I could forget the actual date, not on the date. It brought me outside smiling ( Read more... )

Unmindful of the cold, the creature, nameless, keeping to the edges, had his pockets filled with foodstuffs, as he walked, agile and awkward all at once, he would dig into one and pull out a cracker, a sweet: to have such plenty still startled him. He watched, looked, explored, unmindful of the chill, still with no shoes ( Read more... )

Buffy had learned long ago that she could do more with the help of others than by herself. Sure, she bossed people around and was the General in a lot of ways with the others that helped both in Sunnydale and other places but she knew as she stood at the entrance to the lobby and looked into the ballroom, that this wouldn't have been pulled off ( Read more... )

I have chosen to work on the lesson plans down in the hotel lobby today. Part of it was simply to get out of my room for a while, even if it's just downstairs. The other part is to keep Olore from sitting on my planning book while I am trying to write in it. That cat makes for good company, especially in the winter when I stay in and read so much: ( Read more... )
