From behind them, a man watched in hiding. He was sitting behind a bush and cautiously watching them leave. It was Compton, and once he saw that they were out of sight, he stood up and began following them again. Compton was feeling more and more guilty about having to follow Scott as this mission continued, but he knew that …

Scott was fading in and out of consciousness as he was struck again and again by the Willowisp’s humongous hand. He had been successful in dispatching one of the Willowisps with ease using a surprise tactic, but was put near out of commission by another. All he could do was lay there and take it. The last thing Scott could …

The next morning, Scott awoke in a cheery mood, and although he had slept well, he ended up eating more food than I’d ever seen him eat for breakfast. Guess he was hungry? Well, he did spew everything on the train, so it makes sense. Elysif and I joined him for breakfast, but ours were a simple plate of bread …

Scott swiftly and yet ungracefully strutted off back through the maze of bookshelves with only a wave of his hand to say goodbye back at Mary, even though she couldn’t see it. “Thank you for your help, Mary. I’ll see about getting you some fresh blood when I’m done with this job,” he said. Elysif and I quickly followed behind …

It took us nearly four hours to get fully packed, because Scott took a cat nap, the damn hypocrite, and Elysif was hungover for another two hours before she could actually pack. I ended up vomiting out the window and ruining a stray cat’s day while waiting for Scott and Elysif. Eventually, we were able to leave the apartments and …

I had finally arrived at Mama Louise’s with Elysif and Iscariot. Although all three of us, being a bit terrified, did everything to not let it show as Mama Louise greeted us, she knew. She even attempted to hit on Iscariot just to mess with him. Though Iscariot was pleased that someone was interested in him, it made Elysif and …

Thrusting out my knife at Scott, the blade passed by him as he dodged to his left. While my arm was extended, I swung the blade towards him while rotating my back leg to apply more force. Scott reacted by slamming a glass bottle into my wrist and knocking the blade from my hand. Then followed by thrusting a second …

Scott came to his senses as he witnessed Lou yell and fall on his side. As he lay there, trying to get up, a person wearing a white mask with crimson tear-stains dripping from the eye slits and long mud-stained silver hair rushed in from the dense fog. Grabbing the changeling by the back of the neck, the masked man …

Once we were outside of Iscariot’s building, I noticed that we were in the same place I had passed through on my way to the Church. Although it was now midday, the streets had a similar air to them as before. There were a lot more people going around town than yesterday. Four and five-story buildings stood towering on either …

When I awoke, I tussled around, as one who desperately wished to find a more comfortable sleeping position. The headache I felt was bad, but not the worst I’ve ever had. Even so, I had no desire to get up. I had yet to even open my eyes, believing in my subconscious that the last day had been a very …
