The Fall

The immortal placed a dark hand upon Aku's pallid arm, filling him with a strange warmth unfamiliar to him. The taller being peered down at him with golden eyes, trailing his ebon tongue over bleach white teeth. The spider that sat upon the immortal's shoulder scurried forward, down his arm and up Aku's, finding shelter beneath Aku's matted hair. Somewhat unnerved, Aku opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by the smooth rumble of the immortal's voice.

While in the Tower Guard, Part 3

She entered the mess hall just as the tables were clearing.  Two hands clapped together from among the rising soldiers, a sharp enough sound to snap her to attention.

"Hey, there she is!"

Her eyes focused on Elmo as he sat with his cleaned breakfast plates, a smile on his face.  "I said I would be back."  With a groan and a clatter she fell to the bench beside him, pushing her hands through her hair and trying to keep her eyes open.

"You get him?"

"Yeah."

"You bring him in?"

"Yeah, marched him overland hobbled and gagged about four miles. It took a while."  She pried her eyes open, focusing on her benchmate.  "Elmo, I watched him report to his superior.  His superior was -" She paused, looked around.  Elmo's eyebrows bristled.  "You know how I was watching the Lord of Vision yesterday?"

There is a smudge at the top of this page that might once have been pink…it smells vaguely of strawberry

((Takes place a few hours after "One Last Mile." Enjoy!))

And so the long journey had come to this place... Theramore... the docks... slip number four... 1 hour past midday, local time.

Hopeless case

He sat on the Inn's balcony for far too long, watching the sun slowly rise from his vantage point. For an instant, he glanced down at the water, sunlight glinting off of it. A blink, and his mind sprung forward, reprocessing the night.
