He walked up to the shed and called out, “Harry? You still got a room at that table?” The chestnut haired man popped his head out and exclaimed, “Mayn! You got back alive! How was it in there? Come in, come in!” Ushering Maynard inside, he closed the door to the shed and pulled out a spare chair. Unwilling to …

“What?” Adam whispered acidically. “Look, I know you don’t like me, and I’m not particularly fond of you either, but this is important. I just noticed that the symbols on the doors caused my sanity to drop by three points just now, and I only looked at them for about ten seconds. We need to take care at what we …

One after another, the ringbearers each took a sheet of paper and began to note down every single arcane symbol on the section of wall that professor Lockley directed them to. For Maynard, it was a slow process, but a less arduous one than he was expecting. He did not think of himself as a good artist, in fact when …

“Karan, Grace, Lucy! There you are! You all got drinks already?” Jay asked as Maynard gave the blonde, Grace, a hug. She buried her face in his shoulder for a moment before sitting down next to him and plastering a smile on her face. “On my second.
