Clarissa
Clarissa stared in shock at the giant mirror. The visage before her was like nothing she had ever seen before. His skin was bright red with black spots. Horns spiraled up from his forehead. Sharp canines poked out from below his top lip as he smiled at them.
His spotted brown hair was wild and unkempt. It reminded her of a mane. He looked powerful and giant as he hovered over them. If Blake had not been there, she would have screamed.
But when she looked into Righ’s eyes, what she found there comforted her. He was capable of love, for she saw its loss within.
The terror of haunting nightmares and the horror he overcame resonated through them. Despite all of that, there was hope in the darkness and an undeniable slive

Righ Righ threw his arms up in celebration as the pearl grew black again. When Blake said he had Clarissa with him, Righ had to see for himself. And he was not disappointed. The relic was on his way to him, and it would not be long until he was reunited with what mattered most. He felt so excited and alive. A long time ago, he forgot what this felt like. Righ rang a bell that sat by the side of his throne, and a busty woman with long black hair came rushing into the room. She wore red leather armor that left her arms and legs bare. She carried a whip, and her thin pointed tail whipped curiously behind her. “Master? How may I help you?” He smiled at her an

Clarissa The food was Scrumptious, and the wine delicious. The monks ate quietly with an occasional low murmur to someone sitting around them. They spoke about what they learned or did that day. It didn’t make much sense to Clarissa. “So, how come I am the only lady here tonight?” Clarissa asked. Blake shrugged. “The nuns eat elsewhere. You are a special guest.” Clarissa took a sip from her second glass of wine. The night was moving fast and time seemed to dance around her. She felt good. The wine helped to improve her mood. But it muddled her

Clarissa Clarissa held onto Blake’s arm tightly. She was so glad that he was here for the first time that she drank. Because she did not think that she could walk straight if she did not have him to lean on. He was heading somewhere, and she was sure he told her where more than once. But she could not remember. Being drunk was kind of confusing. However, the sensation was really fun! He was talking to her now. But her head swam, and she was having trouble focusing on his words. He was cute though, maybe she should try to focus on him. “When we go in here, don’t speak. I will talk for you.”

Stefan It was dark in the city, and the streets were mostly abandoned as Stefan headed to the nearest guard post. One of the guards played solitaire while his partner napped in the corner. Stefan smiled wryly. No wonder the city was so overrun with crime. He cleared his throat to get their attention. The sleeping guard snored loudly in response while the one playing cards glanced up at him irritatedly. “What is it?” He grumbled. Stefan kept his temper in check as he grimaced at the rude man. “Let the monks know I am here so that I might meet with them.” He commanded. The guard

Blake After leaving the advisors’ private library, Blake took Clarissa to his room. He needed his alchemy chest to create something to help Clarissa through the situation she put herself in. If she wasn’t careful in a place like this, she could lose her will. He didn’t want to see her become a mindless zombie for the glory of Righ. He held his arm around her shoulder until the door was safely shut. Then, he sat her on the bed and patted her head. “I’m not a dog.” She said. “I know. I just wanted to show you affection.” Blake smiled warmly at her. “You could show me something else.” She was still slurring her words. S

Clarissa recognized this section of the woods from the vision the purple sage had induced. This was where she handed her baby to her beloved. But she did not see herself. The woods seemed especially and eerily quiet. It was as if the wildlife knew something terrible was going to happen. Clarissa didn’t know why she felt that way, but trepidation filled her. There was a tenseness in the air that made it hard to breathe. The hooded man she had seen give the baby away went running by. He was running so fast that Clarissa couldn’t keep up. The forest melted away behind them as they ran. But he did not slow until a small cabin appeared before them. It was not a castle. But it would be cozy and warm for two people. Tonight, it was dark, and the tension in the air seemed to

Clarissa Clarissa and Blake sat on his bed, talking. When she mentioned Mimi, Blake asked who he was. Well, if he was going to find out how crazy she was, now was a good time, right? “Well, I normally tell people that he is my imaginary friend.” She admitted, her ears turning red. “But when I do that, Mimi gets angry with me. He says he is not imaginary.” “So do you see him now?” Blake wondered, motioning to the room. “I don’t see him. I'm not crazy. I just hear him.” She acknowledged quietly that both ideas seemed crazy. Blake pushed the hair back behind her ear. His touch was so tender, it made butterflies erupt in her stomach. “Is it po

Stefan Stefan limped through the streets on his way back to the Inn. His body was sore. Wounds squished blood with every step. He knew what he needed was to get back to the Inn. There he could rest. The idea of sleep dominated his thoughts. If he were a weaker man, he would find a dark street corner to nap in. But if he were to do that, the sun would rise on his sleeping form. It was the gargoyle curse that turned them to stone during the day. But Stefan was only half gargoyle. So the curse only activated when he slept in direct sunlight. It was why he always woke before daybreak. A voice in his head encouraged him to find a quiet corner. In his stone form, he would heal quicker and awake
