Don't fret my sweet. Endings don't last forever...
-Forgotten Lovers
-Alarial-
It wasn't painful. Not like I expected it would be.
When Jon and Cariel had talked about Hell's 'call' I had imagined an uncomfortable and irresistible pull.
But there was none of that. It felt more like a question than a pull. I felt a cool presence embrace me, and it seemed to ask me if I would like to go with it.
It did not try and trick me. This 'presence' seemed to make it clear that Hell was our destination, and that I would be forever different should I choose to go. It also let me know that I could refuse, and remain on this Earth once Winnowing dispersed.
There was never any doubt.
My Dark God's warm red eyes were focused on me as I smiled at him. He returned my smile with a bright, honest one of his own. One that made his pale face dimple at the corners of his mouth.
Then, right before my eyes, he sunk into the ground like he was a substance-less ghost.
Take me as well.
The presence grew close around me, and a gentle grip pulled me through the earth.
Through a chamber deep underground.
Through a door not of this world.
-Cariel-
I watched my sister slide beneath the earth after her demonic lover and knew that all my efforts had been for nothing.
He is your lover too ... Whispered the jealous side of myself.
I could feel that Hell's call had settled on me. I wondered if I was the first Seraphim in history to feel this sensation. It was strange. Cold but calm. Questioning yet soothing.
Michael was looking at me.
A few short decades ago, I would have been bowing before this mighty man. I would have been awed to spend time in the presence of the great Archangel Michael. Now ... all I felt was unsatisfied.
I tapped a finger on the gold collar that encircled my neck.
"Do you think you could get this off?" I asked. My voice was dull.
Michael just looked at me. A tear trickled down his cheek. He seemed to be in shock. He genuinely hadn't expected Alarial to choose the demon. He truly believed that good always triumphed when it mattered.
"It will take centuries to unravel whatever locking magic Devnikolus might have devised." Michael said. "We'll have to keep you isolated in case the mind control magic affects your judgment."
He sighed, and ran a hand through his bronze hair.
"It's over now Seraphim Cariel," he said, "You go back to your Sphere, I need to check the monastery ... though I know it is too late."
I felt the compulsion to obey a celestial superior, but just then, the collar flared into life. Apparently, not accompanying Devnik down into Hell counted as trying to escape.
Oh ... well that settles it then.
I closed my eyes before I gave in and slipped through the earth. I closed them to spare myself from seeing Michael's expression, but also because I was really fucking tired.
-Jon-
I watched Cariel slip down after Maria.
Michael's face twisted into open shock. "Seraphim!" He screamed. "I order you to return to heaven!"
But she was gone.
He rounded on me. Now there was anger on his face along with tears.
I just shrugged. I had come to terms with this. My life as I had known it was over. I guess no human truly walks this earth forever.
"I made a deal a while back," I said with a forced laugh. "I've got to go. Bye now."
I gave him a jaunty wave, and stuck my tongue out at him as I went.
-Devnik-
Hell welcomed me, as I sunk into its deep embrace.
For a moment, I was nothing but raw energy, passing between the mortal Plane, and the Demonic one. It was comfortable, and I could feel my pains ebbing away. I always enjoyed the transition back to Hell. It was like coming home.
Then, I began to reform.
The press of a new reality began to reshape my physical body. My eyes began to see again, and my sense of touch, smell and hearing were returned to me.
I blinked once, and smiled.
I was sitting on my throne, in my tower, in the center of my Plane of Hell. My gaze swept over the throne room, where a very surprised Unami, who was sweeping the black marble hall, gave a startled yell.
Despite my best efforts, I chuckled a little as he tripped over a blood red rug, and tumbled to the floor.
Then, there was chaos.
"My Prince!" squeaked the Unami.
He quickly stood and righted himself. He gave me a deep bow, and then sprinted off down a passage way, yelling news of my return at the entire tower.
"The Prince has returned! The Prince has returned!"
Soon, nearly my entire court was assembled in front of me.
My full court consisted of five X'irel and twelve Bra'rul, and I could see four X'irel and ten Bra'rul before me.
All fourteen of them were on one knee, lowered into a deep bow. For a moment, I simply gazed at them. Then, my eyes wandered up to high ceilings, where wrought iron chandeliers burned red wax candles.
It had been a long time.
My eyes dropped back down at my subjects.
"Efular!" I snapped. "How have the affairs of court been in my absence?"
My second in command jumped to his feet. He was a tall X'irel with a long braid of red hair. Aside from his red eyes, he looked like a perfect human until he opened his mouth. X'irel have unnatural, needle sharp teeth.
"Yes Lord," he said, as he stepped up onto the dais that my throne sat upon. He reached into a pocket in his robe, and withdrew a thick piece of vellum.
"Three items of note took place during you three decade absence." He said, as he unfurled his list and peered at it.
"The first is that Prince Baal attempted to call on you. He refused to leave a message. He said he would try again in half a century."
I cleared my throat. If that was the most important thing, than the business of the court could wait.
Efular, while reliable, was not particularly subtle. He continued on.
"Second, is that a large part of imps have asked that you attend to an abnormally large Destruction fire that has erupted in the lower west side of the Purple Lily Gardens. They were..." Efular finally stopped speaking once I raised my hand.
I pointed at a Bra'rul named Oreda. She rose quickly from her bow.
"How may I serve my lord?" She asked.
"Gather two others and search the realm for three newcomers that followed me through the crossing. You are looking for a blond Aethling, and red haired Seraphim, and a human with scars on his face. They came through shortly after me, so they should be close by."
Oreda bowed low once again. She pointed at two Unami who were watching from the far end of the throne room and ordered them to follow her.
They left, and I turned back to Efular.
"Does anything absolutely require my attention for the next four hours?" I asked.
Efular frowned, and looked down at his notes. Reluctantly, he shook his head.
I stood, and Efular sunk down into another bow.
"Members of the Court of the Sixth Plane of Hell," I said loudly so my voice carried, "I am overjoyed to see you all. Tomorrow, I will hold an open court for all disputes, both large and petty. I shall also take some time for us to be reacquainted."
I paused, and they looked up at me.
"However, for now, I will be busy. I return to you all with wonderful news. I have brought a Seraphim an Aethling and a living mortal down to hell. They shall become members of our court, and members of the Dark."
The court gasped, and I was greeted with a short round of polite applause.
I held up a hand, and they quietened.
"For now, I shall oversee their changing. I ask that you all excuse me. Dismissed."
They all rose, and a din of chatter erupted amongst them as they began to exit into the passage ways.
I turned to Efular.
"Make sure Oreda brings my new subjects to my chambers immediately."
Efular nodded, "It will be done my lord."
He hesitated, then said, "It is good to have you back my Prince. It makes the court uneasy to be without the authority of our Lord."
I clasped Efular on the shoulder briefly, and then walked through the doorway behind the throne into my chambers.
I sat down wearily in my favorite armchair, next to the marble fireplace. I snapped my fingers, and a roaring orange fire blossomed in the hearth.
While I gazed into the flames, I formulated what I would do. I wanted to go out into the realm and search for my love, my future bondswoman, and my butler. There were many dangers out in my Plane of Hell ... and that didn't include the demons who made their homes there.
But I couldn't. I had to play the part of the lord, so I had to have my subjects do my menial tasks for me.
I sank back into my seat, and imagined what I would do to Oreda if any one of them came to harm.
-Cariel-
I stood with Alarial and Jon outside an intimidatingly tall black tower.
I hadn't managed to see much of this strange place.
For the most part it looked like a strange and savage garden in eternal twilight, with a sky shaded with light purples and some deeper pinks. Marble statues in various states of disrepair shared space with climbing roses.
But that wasn't the terrifying part. As I explored the garden, I had turned the corner at a large hedge, and nearly walked into a section that burned with Devnikolus's strange black fire. My nose had been inches away from the blaze.
After that, I had found a mossy bench next to some roses, and waited to be found.
It wasn't long before a Bra'rul had accosted me. I had been expecting Devnik, and in my surprise, I had tried to use magic to defend myself.
But my magic hadn't come. I could still feel it within myself, but I couldn't draw it to the surface.
I am powerless here.
"Come with me," the female Bra'rul had said. "The other two have already been found."
"Where are you taking me ... demon?" I said, unable to keep some of the sneer out of my voice.
"To my Prince," she had said. "Follow close behind, the gardens will destroy you if you take a wrong turn."
So I had followed, and now all three of us stood together.
"My Prince sent us out to find you," said the Bra'rul, who had introduced herself as Oreda. "This is his stronghold, and the center of the Broken Gardens."
I cast my eyes over at Jon and Alarial. Jon looked apprehensive. Alarial looked impatient.
We all entered through the gate, and found ourselves in an expansive black marble chamber. At the very end, a black throne with rubies in the hand-rests dominated a large dais.
Devnikolus's throne. I thought.
Oreda continued speaking as we walked across the chamber. "My Prince has said that he will oversee your corruption transformations personally. It is a very high honor. You three must be strongly within his favor."
Alarial snorted a little bit, and I saw Jon bite his lip to keep back a smile. I'd like to say I remained composed, but I might have rolled my eyes.
Oreda pretended she didn't see.
She took us around the back of the throne, where a discreet door was positioned just behind it.
"This door will take you down a hall and up a flight of stairs. The Prince will receive you in his chambers."
Alarial already had a hand on the door before the she-demon finished speaking.
Devnikolus was sitting in a high-backed leather armchair. His red eyes were fixed on the fireplace before him. Orange light danced across his face, highlighting the strong length of his jaw, and his high cheekbones.
His eyes flicked up and over to us, and he smiled.
"I'm glad you all chose to come here."
He said it genuinely. With more warmth and emotion than I had ever heard from him.
Alarial bounded forward, and launched herself into his lap. She was all blond hair and enthusiasm as she nuzzled his neck with her mouth and nose. I watched her lick at his skin, and press her thinly clothed breasts against his chest.
Devnikolus put a slender hand on top of her head, and stroked her like she was a cat.
"Hush now, my love," he said, "There will be time for that soon."
Alarial stopped squirming and settled. Her eyes drifted shut, and her cheek rested against Devnik's chest.
I wanted to be there in his lap. I ached for those possessive touches.
Devnikolus looked up at Jon and me, still standing in the entranceway.
"I need to talk to all three of you," he said. "You will all start to experience the corruption soon, and I want you to know what to expect."
Jon cleared his throat, and took a step farther inside the room.
"Yes," Jon said, "I know that the ... um ... corruption involves us becoming true members of the Dark ... but what does that mean?"
Devnikolus sighed.
"Basically," he said, "You will be turned into demons."
Devnikolus looked at us, perhaps looking for some hint of shock or surprise. We disappointed him. I imagine we had both suspected as much.
"Yes well," Devnikolus continued, "The process will occur gradually over a three day period. For the first day, you will find that you will be unable to access any magic that you once had."
Jon grinned, "No problems there."
Devnikolus shrugged, "That was directed more at the two angels rather than you ... human."
Jon winced. "You're not mad about my slip up ... are you?"
"Well discuss it after your change," Came Devnikolus's cool reply.
Jon's face fell, and he looked suitably miserable.
"On the second day," Devnikolus continued, "You will be confronted with tremors and uncontrollable discharges of magic. This is the day where the corruption will analyze your inherent magic and willpower. The type of demon that you are transformed into will be in accordance with the strength of those two."
"I'm not going to be an imp am I? I asked bitterly.
Devnik's eyes met mine. My core clenched, and I immediately regretted my tone.
"Doubtful," he replied.
Then he said, "On the third and final day, your physical transformation will occur. After that, you will officially be subjects of my court."
"Well," Jon said. "That doesn't sound too bad."

Celestial Awakenings By Julie O Edited By Amelia R. Chapter 1 Celeste Farnsworth was reading the morning paper when Dr. Nancy Chen joined her for breakfast in the dining room of her Southampton estate. A short, middle-aged woman with raven hair brought in a fresh pot of coffee. "Good morning, Celeste," greeted Nancy, as she sat down next to the pretty young woman with auburn hair. "Good morning. Looks like you were up late again," commented Celeste. "Thank you, Ina." The...
-Daniel Fleeting- (1097 AD. Somewhere outside Jerusalem) The battlefield was decided. It was a great dusty plain, with mountains to the far west, and Jerusalem straight ahead barley visible in the distance. I could see the banners of the Seljuk Turks standing their ground a mile ahead of our regiment. I grasped my holy weapon tighter. I paid no mind to the mortal foes that made up the enemy rank. I kept my eyes moving constantly, searching for the demon. Father Fredrick said I'd know...
A demon doesn't sleep the way a human does. We share similar qualities ... for example we both have no awareness of our surroundings while we slumber ... which is why both humans and demons choose a place they feel secure before laying down to rest. But a demon always knows what time of day it is. We can sense the sun ... we always know where it rests in the sky. That is how I knew night was approaching ... and I was impatient. I was eager to start my night ... I wanted to know what Jon...
I knew Devnik wasn't beside me. It was a strange sensation, knowing something without knowing how. I sleepily remembered Devnik had departed with Jon ... I wondered what was going on between those two. How can a demon and a human interact with each other like that? I was briefly embarrassed that Jon had seen me naked. I hardly knew the man ... just that he was a human ... but not quite the same as other humans ... I chuckled to myself. It was strange to think of humans as a different...
His laughter boomed out into the brisk breezes of the early morning. It wasn't the laugh of someone who had heard a jest they found amusing. It was a peal of triumph. He wasn't taking the news like I thought he would. I expected confusion, then comprehension. I expected to strike during that hesitation. This was supposed to be my chance I tried to twist vigorously against the grip he had on my throat ... but I couldn't move. My legs swung uselessly in the air. I wanted to scream, but I...

Chapter 1 Since my wife left me, I've taken to having a few of an afternoon, so I stopped in at the Eternity on Queen Street West for a drink. It's one of the last good "conversation bars" left in Toronto. I like a nice quiet place to have a sip. Like all the other musicians I know, I hate the canned music in most bars.

The young woman plunged her fingers in between the juicy swollen lips of her slit for the umpteenth time, biting down on her pillow to muffle her moans of pleasure. She was lying in bed, the sun approaching the eastern horizon as the minutes ticked by on her alarm clock. The hour was early, earlier than the time her parents woke up, but this was how she liked it. The girl liked to pleasure herself each morning, again after she got home, and a final time before falling asleep. You could...
Victoria looked out the window of the hotel room she was sharing with Jack. She could barely keep her mind on one thought or worry, it was like trying to grab snakes while pumped full of Novocain. Playing in her mind over and over like a Youtube video set to repeat, the scene from the garage haunted her like the guilt of a crime. Her emotions were a sea of confusion, struggling to define her feelings for Jack. After seeing what he was capable of, she felt fear; after realizing the secret...
Chapter 6 BANG! The gunshot rang out to the sound of the flight attendant’s cry of pain as the bullet pierced her shoulder. “Turn this plane around or I’m going to start killing passengers!” the man yelled, waving his gun at anyone who made the slightest of moves. The screaming of terrified men and women filled the cabin as people realized that the plane had just been hijacked. While one of the passengers tried to help the wounded flight attended, the hijacker banged his gun...
Jack stepped into his living room, where his father was crying on the couch. Victoria was standing in the next room, trying to think of something to say when Jack returned. “So is it true?” “Yes, she died on impact. From the tire marks on the road, the other driver had definitely been swerving and the smell of booze was clear. To think, this happens right before your birthday…” “It doesn’t matter when it happened, the pain is all the same. We should not dread or loathe the...
Kelly stood nervously by the entrance of the school, waiting for Jack and Victoria to arrive. Students surging for the warmth of the school gave her quizzical looks, surprised that she was out in front of them like this. Even though she had given up her self-destructive ways and had been trying to be more social, she wasn’t normally this out and the open. Plus… she looked good. She looked truly healthy and had regained her lost beauty. The weather was exceptionally bitter, well below...
“So how have you been? You haven’t really talked to me in three days.” Jack asked, facing Kelly in the black-drop dreamscape in her mind. “What are you talking about? It’s kind of hard to carry on a conversation with someone when the first half of the conversation occurs in your mind.” she sighed, sitting on the invisible ground. “Ah, of course.” Kelly took a deep breath, shaking from head to toe. Even when asleep, she couldn’t get away from her withdrawal symptoms, and it was...
Chapter 2 Victoria was hovering in darkness, completely numb to all her senses and unable to form a single thought. She was wearing only her nightgown, but felt neither hot nor cold. “What are your feelings for me?” she heard a familiar voice ask, clearing her mind and causing her eyes to bolt open. Hovering twenty feet away was Jack, smiling calmly and confidently as usual. “Jack…? Am I dreaming?” “Whether you are or aren’t, does it matter? I told you before that half of...

Introduction A lady of eighty years told me this story. “I was working as a nurse in a hospital. One day I turned a corner in a corridor, and standing there was a young man in pajamas and dressing gown. I had never seen him before, but his nurse told me he had been very ill, in fact, near death. He had made a remarkable recovery and was now just starting to walk around.” I stood looking at him and he at me. What I can only describe as an electric current seemed to pass between us. In that...

NovelsMarch 18 You probably can't believe I'm still writing this. The truth is, I can hardly believe it myself. I certainly thought long and hard about it, but finally decided that since the whole thing's all out in the open anyway that there wasn't much reason to stop writing about it. And you might find this hard to fathom but I feel like I have a certain kind of relationship with you; a relationship that I want to honor. You might wonder at my sanity, but there you have it. It certainly was...

~May the enemies of the Dark find no place of rest in the dreaded day. May they never know carnal pleasure, or the beauty of a cold night. May they be cursed with a mortal life. May they be chained to the bidding of an uncaring God.~ Prayer of the Dark Acolytes -Devnik- This truly couldn't have turned out worse. I thought, as a stared at my lone candle lighting the cave from my chair. There was an Angel outside. That was certainly bad. There was an angry angel outside ... that was...

Angels are creatures of Air and Water, Tears and Spirit.

Blood and vomit had mixed in the air, creating a putrid odor. Water still dripped from the ceiling, and...
-Daniel Fleeting- (1097 AD. Somewhere outside Jerusalem) "Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora pro nobis peccatorbus, nunc, Et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen." I moved to my next bead. And I began again. Battle was nigh, and I alone continued to say my prayers. All around me men sat by the campfire. Weeks of forced march had made their minds weak and their spirits corrupt. They sat...
(Outskirts of Paris 1623) -Maria- Consciousness returned to me slowly. I stretched out on the black arm chair, and sat up. The room was warm, but the fire had all but gone out. A few smoldering coals provided nothing but a dim light to see by. A faint outline of a man was visible. Sitting on an identical chair was the demon. His glittering red eyes were trained on me. "Glad to see you in the land of the living," he said sarcastically. I blushed. "Umm, good morning," I said. He...
I was getting impatient. I was only pretending to read the book in my hands. My eyes had been glancing over the same page for nearly an hour now. It had been two days since I sent Turkik out to identify my angelic caller, and so far he had not returned. The two days of his absence had sent into an uneasy pattern. Every evening I would arise at about nine, to which I would be greeted by a shy 'hello, ' from Maria. I didn't know if she simply slept the daylight away like I did, or if she...
-Devnik- A chilled wind swept through the country side. "Your home is so ... beautiful..." she marveled, her gaze still fixated on the chateau. I moved to stand behind her. I wrapped my arms around her clasping them just under her breasts. I put my chin on her soft shoulder. I whispered directly in her ear, "I'm glad you approve Maria." She shivered. I could see goose bumps appear on her neck, but that could have been from the cold... She was still so nonplussed with my house that...
(France 1623, Chateau) -Devnik- She was here. I could sense her. At the top of the spiral stairs, standing in what must be total darkness, was Maria. It felt strange to have her in this room. It somehow felt very personal, as if I were sharing an embarrassing secret. My chambers were furnished exactly like the cave was. But here, in this house, the furniture was original, and not the product of unholy trickery. The only light of the room was from the marble fireplace. It was identical...
-Maria- I felt hollowed out. As if someone had reached into me and pulled out all my insides. My muscles were too sore to even think about, let alone move. I could feel the soft silk sheets under me, and the satin pillow that I rested my head on. I cracked my eyes open. The fire had gone out, but the room wasn't cold. Devnik wasn't here. That made me sad. I shook my head violently, trying to clear the unwanted demon from my mind. The shaking reminded me of how sore I was. I...
-Devnik- Maria was breathing heavily. I could see the outline of her breasts slowly rise and fall from underneath the sheet she had draped across her shoulders. Her face was flushed ... and she was staring at me hungrily. My little half-angel was aroused. We both listened to Jon's boots echo off the stone walls as he walked up the spiral staircase. The door shut at the top of the stairs ... and we were alone. I repeated my questions, "What is your desire my sweet?" She smiled softly...
-Maria- It felt like I was going on an adventure. The old timber of the carriage creaked as it rolled. I could hear the clips and clops of horse hooves against the worn cobbled path. I was leaving France. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined living anywhere but Paris. Never had I imagined being anything but a prostitute. Now I was headed for Ireland in clothes fit for a baroness with a man I called Master ... and lover. Despite the insulation of the carriage, the cold air...
-Maria- The still of the early evening settled upon the little inn. A cool morning had given way to a scorching afternoon. Jon had carried in the results of his labors chopping wood, and Boyce, the owner of the inn had practically fallen over himself with gratitude. Boyce was an old man who didn't have the strength for cutting firewood anymore. When the inn ran out, Brie would have to go out and do the best she could. As a show of thanks Boyce insisted that we sit in the common room and...
-Maria- My body was singing. My arms were too heavy to move and my legs felt like they were made of jam ... but that didn't matter. I had never been so content in my life. My pussy was throbbing, and I could tell that I was still soaking down there. The fire crackled gently, and the smell of wood, smoke and sex laced the air with a heady and wonderful aroma. Not even my awkward positioning over the side of the chair could dampen my bounding joy. I gazed up at my Master. His long black...
~The Bra'rul are sharp and fierce. They appear as beautiful men or woman with long dark talons and black feathered wings. There greatest strength is their speed and ferocity, which is unmatched by any other demon to walk the plains of Hell. Best disposed of at a distance- The Hunter's Manifesto -Cariel- I felt his arms slither around me. My body shivered, and tensed immediately. A sense of wrongness and panic encroached on the edges of my mind. I had never been this close to a member...
The Meeting ~Humans do not naturally posses magic. A child of dust and mud can only achieve power through four ways. They may pledge themselves to either the Light or the Dark, and be rewarded with a sliver of their power. They may channel the inherent magic of the Earth. The fourth way is to steal it. These thieves are called The Afflicted and they are abominations- The lecture Notes of Father Fredrick~ -Daniel Fleeting- I knew it the moment it happened. One moment I was riding into the...
The Royalty of the Dark were once Angels. Betrayal sent them to Hell, but it was Hell that corrupted them. They are the original Fallen. Other Angels have been corrupted by Hell since, but none can compare to the Original Ten. They are to be scorned. They are to be pitied.-A scrap of Parchment that burned at Alexandria Devnik I had almost forgotten. Strange really ... how I could have almost forgotten. Like a piece of gristle between a tooth, or a pain that lingered and wouldn't go away,...
~I heard the buzzing. The Flies were everywhere. Fresh corpses were stripped to the bone in seconds ... and in the middle, Beelzebub sat, devouring the flesh of fallen. – Survivor of the Pyrrhic war.~ Daniel Fleeting This wasn't part of the plan. I had been distracted for a moment. This woman with jet black hair and forest green eyes had reminded me of a past love ... and I had dropped my guard. Had I been aware I would have realized that no woman living in the forest has a teacup...
Humans are both Light and Dark. We are capable of the most selfless compassions, and the most delicious sins. A life without both is an empty hollow thing. – Unknown Devnik Maria's face smiled sadly at me as the dream fell apart. Her image faded and broke like the reflection of a shattering mirror. She said she was coming back to me. That thought alone prevented my mind from despairing. I could feel a stirring underneath one of my arms. Consciousness drifted lazily back into my mind...
No Return Only HE can force an Angel to enter Hell. Once a being of the Light has walked within the Halls of the Damned, there is no saving them. The Dark always keeps those who embrace it. -Devnik- Her breath went out slowly ... and with it came a whisper. "So good..." The words were soft and muffled ... and they were lead-heavy and full of a woman's emotions. The sound of it was utterly foreign to me. I didn't understand it ... not even a sliver. I drew her closer and softly...
Butler at Sea Leviathan is the Demon Prince of Wrath, Deep Dwellers, and Violent Waters. His moods are mercurial and ever shifting. He has never set foot on the dry lands of Earth. Jonathan the Courageous The boat shifted slightly as we shoved off. Timber and board creaked delightfully as the waters of the channel caressed the hull. I smiled and sighed. Boats are wonderful things. Five hundred years of living, and a strong ship and sea breeze still made me grin like a fool. But, I was a...
Jealousy Hush now my baby you're safe where you lay, The forest is napping, now sleep and let be. Hush now my baby you'll wake all the fae, The forest is stirring, you must hear my plea. Hush now my baby they seek out young prey The forest is moving, they'll steal you from me... -Forgotten Lullaby- -Cariel- The dark iron chains felt cool against my heated flesh. That was the first sensation that came to me ... as my mind slowly clawed its way out of the deeper place it had fled...
Rain and Flame ~Humans live two lives. First, they live out their mortal years, and those determine if they shall fall unto Hell, or ascend unto Heaven. Second, they live as a soul of either Light or Dark. When the soul dies ... it vanishes unto Nothing.The Third Lesson of the Magician's Guild. -Devnik- Clouds rolled in across the night sky ... quick and low and determined. My tongue flicked out to taste the air. It was heavy and filled with the promise of rain. I turned my head up,...
"Love is not righteous. Only a fool who has never felt love's bitter edges would claim otherwise. Love is greedy, love is dark, and love is jealous. But this is why we desire love above all else. It is like a mania. Our thoughts become clouded, but our blood thrums with life." -Attributed to Lilith, Princess of Lust and Blood Devnik I could feel the daylight shield rippling like gauze around me. My skin tingled. It felt like a thin layer of frost had settled softly against me. I...
OF PLEASURE FOR ETERNITY Part 1 For years I dreamed of being a woman…a beautiful, desirable woman that could have any man she wanted.

Everything in life...
He’s out there, outside her window, feeling the warm air as it flowed through his coat and silk shirt and softly caressed his skin. The moon highlighted pale skin and the white hair of his forearm; it revealed soft, striking blue eyes sheltered under long eyelashes and dark brows; it shone on his hair, a shade no less than black, tied back in ponytail that fell smooth and straight down the middle of his back. He’s waiting, waiting outside her window for a perfect breeze. It came, whipping up...

HistoricalShe wanted everything to be just so. Stan had been so depressed since Thanksgiving. It had been right after that—the most happy time she could remember that they’d had—that he’d gotten the diagnosis, and he had spun down into a depression. He hadn’t been out of the house since, he’d just sat there in his La-Z-Boy in front of the TV and dozed, the TV on but him not paying a damn bit of attention to it. She’d put the tree up early, right there beside the fireplace, so he could see the tree and...
