Ah, Darquesse...

Those lucky Minions who made it to the Imagine festival last week got the LSODM paperback early, but I couldn't let them be the ONLY ones who get to marvel at Tom Percival's back cover, so here you go...



Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious?

The paperback will be released for everyone else on the 27th of March, and because we are very, very smart people, we will be releasing the paperback of The Maleficent Seven, which takes place BEFORE LSODM, on the 8th of May. 

Just to confuse you.

((Bye Chione, sys))

John said...

Erebus: *laughs evily* I know.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*snarls and dragged herself over to where zaf, trip, annika and chio are*
*manages to stand, blocking Erebus' view of the others*
*snarls and swipes at Erebus, taking his eye out in one quick move*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Bye chione! *superawesomemegatacklehug*))

John said...

Erebus: Zaf knows all to well how I don't need those, don't you? *a shadow grabs Silente's throat and squeezes slowly*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Do you want me to kill you?

Amethyst Temerity said...

...this fight is going waaaaaayyyyy too far

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Stop now, lest I be forced to act. I haven't fought any one here in months, please don't change that.

John said...

Erebus: You seem to forget how our last fight went. *the shadows gets steadily tighter*

Amethyst Temerity said...

have some self-control peoples!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*claws at the shadows*
*pushes up slightly on them*
*sucks in a breath*
*curls up and kicks out, ripping open his stomachccausing his innerards to become his outwards*

Amethyst Temerity said...

...actually, only one person...

Chione Asahina said...

*hits Erebus square in the chest with an ice pillar* Get the hell away from her.

John said...

*Your feet pass through me, leaving a small trail of darkness where they would hit*
Erebus: Tut tut monster, that would have hurt.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Let. Go. Of. Her.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

When in Rome. *claps hands together and sends a stream of purple energy at his head*

John said...

Erebus: *shatters Chione's ice with a punch and looks squarely at Zaf* Make me.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Er hey again chio))
*eyes begin bulging due to lack of oxygen to the brain*
*claws and swipes at the air trying to cut Erebus*

Amethyst Temerity said...

*sigh*
some people don't have a good sense of right and wrong...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Wb Chione.

Chione Asahina said...

I will. *stands in the middle, protecting Silente*

*screams and millions of arrows shoot towards him*

*coats herself in armour*

John said...

Erebus: *staggers back from the force of the energy* Well well, someone who packs a punch. *a half-decayed hand grabs trip from below and drags him underground*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Should I get out a grenaidbow?

[Raises an eyebrow]

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*Tryes to distract Erebus from her friends, even in her current state understanding what would happen to them*
*claws and nickes at his wrists, fighting the darkness at the edge of her vision*

John said...

Erebus: The arrows pass through me like silente's feet, I laugh at catch some with shadows, throwing them back*

Chione Asahina said...

*creates a greatsword and pushes down with all force on the shadow until it snaps, allowing Silente to breath*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[I say, how awfully unfair] *coats self in energy, which generates a lot of heat, causing the ground around him to become cracked and brittle, until he can fly out*

That wasn't even an opening salvo. Back down or I will be forced to use you as a plaything.

Amethyst Temerity said...

*pushes air into Erebus's eyes so he can't see*

John said...

Erebus: *looks at the vampire and says silently* pass out already will you? *Shadows continue to fend off attacks from the others*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*a gravely voice emerges from her closing throat*
No. Leave. Alone. Run.
*continues to claw, weakly swiping at his arms and kicking at his legs*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No thanks Silente, this looks like too much fun to flee.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*twists around and sees chio, trip, annika and zaf trying to help*
*tries to push chio away with her feet*
Run
*her skin finally begings growing back*
Leave
*her vision is almost gone now *

Chione Asahina said...

*spreads her arms wide to send a wall of water into his chest*

Amethyst Temerity said...

Why would we leave a friend behind?

John said...

Erebus: I'm terrified trip. *everyone's shadows begin to stir as if coming alive* I believe Zaf knows this one, you kids have fun fighting yourselves. *Your shadows spring up and take stances exactly mirroring your own*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*draws sword and fills it with energy, Flying at the shadow suspending Silent, takes a swing at it*

Amethyst Temerity said...

*sends streams of fire at Erebus*

Chione Asahina said...

*turns to Silente* Don't be stupid. You know how stubborn I am by now surely. *smirks and tries again to break the shadow that threatens to make the vampire black out*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*finally becomes human again*
*still being held in the air and suffocated by shadows*
Its..not...safe...for...you...dead...either...way...leave....
*begins to go limp, not yet unconscious but on the brink*

John said...

Erebus: Please focus your attention to the newly created copies of you. They have all your powers and skills and a bit of mine as well, have fun now. *chuckles darkly as the shadows attack, nothing more than blurs of darkness*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*yawns* That's an old one Erebus, I dealt with that against Deacon. *skin begins to glow purple, eliminating the shadow*

Soul beats shadow, easy as.

Amethyst Temerity said...

*creates a tornado to take in the shadows*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*sighs* Must you really attempt to kill each other so often?

#ChaseForBook9

Chione Asahina said...

*ignores her shadow and it's not piercing her armour yet*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks into Chios eyes* leave, save...self
*coughs* going...
*starts feeling her muscles relaxing, shutting down*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Unfortunately yes, Niccolo. *lands beside him, offering a hand* How are you?

John said...

Erebus:*Trips shadow glows a dark red, countering the attack* Like I said, all your powers.

Chione Asahina said...

Silente stay with me! *continues shooting water and ice towards Erebus*

Amethyst Temerity said...

We aren't trying to kill each other! :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I have been saying the same thing Nic! *waves*

John said...

Erebus: Oh hello Nic, care to join in the fun?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

That's weird. How do I do that?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*forces her body to go limp*
*stays still, nearly dead but trying nether the less*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Anyway, it shouldn't exist, as I no longer have a shadow, due to the glowing and all.

Amethyst Temerity said...

*forms another tornado and pushes it toward Erebus*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Also, my shadow, made of the lack of light, is generating light, you must be very powerful.

Amethyst Temerity said...

(Peoples! I have to go now! I'll be back later! ...i think. DONT KILL ANYONE)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sneaks behind Erebus and brushes fingers against his arm* call them off or you turn to stone

John said...

Erebus: *suddenly staggers*
Kor: Get out of my head, and away from my friends! *shadows explode outward from our body, destroying much of the surrounding landscape. When they clear I'm laying in a crater, passed out*

Chione Asahina said...

*sighs and melts her armour*

*closes her eyes and when she opens them they're black*

Hecate: Erebus, move along. You're no match against the goddess of magic and necromancy *grins and shoots shadows at him, holding his arms and legs*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*takes Trip's hand* As well as I have ever been. And yourself?

Indeed, Zafira.

No, Eberus, I shall have to decline for as long as possible. I take no pleasure in fighting.

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Bye amethyst))
*is limp, appearing dead*

Chione Asahina said...

*tilts head at kor* good boy

*chione runs over to Silente and shakes her*

Silente?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*cautiously approaches Silente* Are you alright?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*it was a ruse! Hugs Nic, and then pulls back, shaking his hand* Good, ish. The imminence of being a parent is beginning to get to me a little. Aside from that, I'm fine.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*remains unresponsive*
((Chione please remember that when I chge back I am also a bit...exposed..))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Nic!! See if Kor is alive you're far better at that then I

Alexis: Holy crap....*stands with Aro surveying the craetor

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bye Stalky!

*hurries over to the crater and slides down to Kor*

You know lad, you've destroyed a large chunk of my garden, and if it didn't happen daily, I'd be peeved.

Chione Asahina said...

((gah...)

*creates a dress over Silente to cover her body*

Silente?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*lays limp in chiones arms*

Chione Asahina said...

*whispers in her ear* Do I have to get someone to come and kiss you?

John said...

*Groans, still laying face-fist* Please tell me no one died...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

We're alive. Nobody died.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*still unresponsive and limp*
*her body is cold and heavy*

Chione Asahina said...

*glares at Kor* Silente hasn't woken up

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No no, no one died. *tolls him over* Are you all right? *begins to wipe dirt off his face*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*rolls

John said...

*sighs with relief* Good... I really do hate Erebus...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*glares at Chione* Not a good time.

Chione Asahina said...

I don't care Trip.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I can see why, he isn't very logical, like most of them.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

In my late sister's experience, which, admittedly, is the closest I have to my own, becoming a parent is the single most fulfilling thing you can do with your life. You have my congratulations.

It appears as though Korupted is alright.

*takes a few more steps towards Silente and Chione* I can heal her, if that is necessary...

#ChaseForBook9

John said...

More or less Trip, go help Silente. I've lived through worse than a forced possession.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I think she's unconsious she'll wake soon or later

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You aren't helping the poor lad, by making him feel guilty.

Chione Asahina said...

((The second isolated sentence in my previous comment was directed towards Zafira. Once I had posted it, I realized I had not made that clear. My apologies for any potential resultant confusion.))

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Of course. *places a hand on Silente's shoulder, and heals her* She ought to wake any moment now...

#ChaseForBook9

John said...

She's right though. I let my guard down enough for Erebus to take over. It's my fault if she's hurt... *looks over at Silente and Chione*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh no, I'm taking you to my bar. After all that, you need several glasses of water. C'mon *tries to help him up*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*her body takes in a deep shakey breath*
*her breathing is shallow and she is unresponsive, hang on but only just*
*anything could make her go*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Can I help in anyway, Nic?

Chione Asahina said...

*lets out a sigh of relief*

John said...

*I look at Silente, a concerned expression on my face* Trip, bring me over to her.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*lends Silente more of his energy, further strengthening her*

I think not, Alexis, although I am grateful for your offer.

((I shall have to leave momentarily, however it is likely I shall return within three hours.))

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*her eyed fly open*
*she quickly turns to her side*
*starts coughing viciously*
*wipes away a trickle of blood with the back of her hand*
*groans and pushes nic away*
*tries to sit, is still shakey-*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*paises* Fine, but you're drinking that water mister. *helps him over to Silente, energy tendrils heading off to the bar*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Alright. When things settle down, will you come see Christopher?

Chione Asahina said...

*helps Silente sit up, supporting her back*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Bye nic!))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*feels woozy and is in a lot of pain*
Chio.. what...
*sits bolt upright at she remembers what happened*
No chio!
*looks around and calms down*
Are you okay? Are you hurt? Any of you?
*struggles against the pain trying to stand *

John said...

*Takes a deep breath* Are you alright..? I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand. ((Is that a pun considering how she bit my hand off?))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Silente its okay nobody is dead. Relax.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

((Badom tsh!))

We're fine, Silente, a little dehydrated maybe, so I made some tea! *passes mugs around, filled with piping hot tea milk no sugar*

Chione Asahina said...

((She didn't bite it off. I think her claws tore it off))

Silente I'm fine. Everyone is fine *hugs gently*

*helps her stand*

Chione Asahina said...

I'll pass, I might melt Trip :3

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

She needs iced tea

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*collapses back to the floor, landing on her butt*
None of you are hurt? Your all safe. God damn serum! God damn vampire! Stupid stupid vampire! This is all my fault! Kro I'm sooo sorry are you okay.
*grimses against the pain all up her side*
I'm so sorry
*tears fill her eyes*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ugh brb dinner

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I anticipated that might be the case. *draws a glass filled with iced tea* Iced tea for Madame.

Chione Asahina said...

*laughs loudly*

Chione Asahina said...

*takes the glass and smiles* Thank you Trip.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*sprinkles sugar into Silente's, kneels down beside her* None of this is your fault, here, have some tea dear.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No thank you trip I'm fine. Im-
*starts coughing again*
*sneakily wipes away another trickle of blood*
I'm fine. I don't need tea.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I aim to please.

Chione Asahina said...

*forces Silente to look at her* It's not you fault. I should have got the serum quicker... *hugs her and wipes her tears*

John said...

Despite his flaws Erebus can take one hell of a hit, I'm far more concerned about the rest of you. *glances a tea* My appetite is slightly lost at the moment Trip... ((Brb peeps, somebody downstairs said food))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

And it is my fault. I I hadn't have changed, hadn't have attacked him, pushed him too far it never would have happened!

Chione Asahina said...

You didn't push him at all. He started attacking you when you were inside the ice cage.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Chio, its not your fault at all! I'm the one who went all vamp, I'm the one who attacked. Not you. You did everything right
*smiles at her and trip*

Chione Asahina said...

Anyway, let's all just calm down and be glad no one died *sips tea*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

But nothing happened! The ground got a bit damaged, with so many powerful people around, this sort of thing happens every day. Honestly, nothing happened.

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello peoples! I see everything has ended well?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles over at chione* thanks for he dress. But its still my fault.
*crawls away from them a bit*
And I'm sorry for that. Goodnight.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Wb Stalky.

Goodnight, Silente. I do hope you feel better in the morning.

*sips tea*

Amethyst Temerity said...

Goodnight Silente!
Celery Stalk!!!!
