I was working in the cellar stacks in the library, our halls of books furthest underground. It was late at night, and I was very tired but also very determined to complete the task I had at hand.
Witch Town, Part 7
Warren follows Jawtooth towards the back of the tented structure. There is a small fire and some benches. On one of the benches, Jawtooth grabs a pouch.
The soothsayer takes the pouch, shakes it in his hand over his shoulder, and simply deposits its contents on the ground in front of the fire. The fire crackles and brightens momentarily.
Jawtooth gazes at some small bones and scraps of hard material carved into strange runes.
Warlock Warren leans in with curiosity.
Witch Town, Part 6
Esda puts her hand out to the water and touches it.
Margaret notices the puddle ripple from the contact.
Esda then reaches her hand into the water.
Margaret is amazed to see Esda’s hand coming out of the puddle.
Esda jerks her hand back, unsure.
Margaret crawls back towards the puddle to have a cautious second look.
Esda and Margaret stare at each other in awe for a moment. Esda smiles first, then Margaret finds herself smiling from the edge of her mouth.
The Mountain in the Clouds, Part 45
I didn’t have much time to think as my body reacted to the moment. A tremendous wave loomed overhead…. it seemed a hundred meters high. I stumbled, slanted, across the deck, somehow wishing to escape it by running in the opposite direction. The ship tilted almost completely on its side and I fell face-first on the slippery wood planks.
