Creation; or The Great Marriage

This is the drawing Minis found in the Holy Book on the altar.

B-day break

After all that... I'm going to take a break today.  Just 'cause.  See you Wednesday.  I promise not to get all likkered up and hung over... at least not much.

Hugs all.

Initiation

My apologies for the late post... right after I announced I'd do this my internet went down and has just been restored today.  Almost everybody in the house is sick so this is going to be it for today.  Hope you like it.



I'm a Masker.  You might say I was born one.  My mom was a Masker and I was born in the House of Masks in Arko sixteen years before the Sack.  That's how people talked about

AN A Later Post

Hi guys. A show came my way and I took Raphi to the theatre to see it. I will be posting tomorrow instead of tonight.
It will also be a bonus story in Arko, if I can find the darn thing.

466 - Surya's List

Surya saw me one more time before Chevenga and Kallijas finished the switch-over of power in only two eight-days.  Of course it was fast.  Everyone understood where Chevenga had gotten his habit of working fast.  One tends to cram things into every hundredth of a bead when trying to stay ahead of the Summoner.

"I'm happy to hear you and the others have been following your instincts when it

465 - Fan and Sword

Next morning I dragged myself out of bed before Gannara and Farasha were up.  They'd finished packing for the summer the night before and I would have to excuse myself part way through training to run down and see them off.

I came up onto the training ground on the roof and found a… girl… sitting on a gear bag.  She was dressed modestly enough, with boy's shirt and trousers, but I couldn't

464 - The Patter of Rotting Flesh

The rest of that day Kallijas and Chevenga and I went late into the night.  I was mostly dealing with the letters of congratulation and suck upness, with Atzana.  Chevenga had Binchera and Kall had Munirientzas, his own secretary.

The Imperial paperwork easily occupied the six of us until far into the night, especially since there were all the transitional details.
I looked up over the city,

463 - Unnaturally Natural

I was certain I was dreaming.  I sat upon the Imperial litter with the Regent's Robe upon my shoulders.  My hands were both too naked and too heavy all at the same time.  Chevenga had taken my place behind and I could not see him.  We were in the procession with the Marble Palace looming in front of us.  He would be walking upon the ground.  He will be so happy to not have to be carried

462 - Is it a Sin?

Dear Goddess, what have I done?  Selinae forgive me.  I've sinned in so many ways.  I was drunk, I was herbed, I have no excuses.  It felt so good.  It felt… I've never felt anything like that before.  She offered to show me... Fara… she… I'm supposed to be afraid of the dark races, did she corrupt me? Set my feet on the road to Hayel?


The Haian… the Haian is dark but the Fenjitza said

461 - For Thine is the Power

If we do anything really well, it is extravagant ritual, I thought as I pulled at the bottom hem of the tunic I was wearing.  It was an ancient style, much shorter than I was used to. Skorsas and I had dug out the description of the last regency regalia, and I had been able to exactly describe it to the tailor from the image in the Imperial Book.
