Journal Entry The Third My brother, the big-time villain. Who does he think he is, smacking me around, placing chains of iron around MY person, threatening and cajoling me! I'll find his daughter, I will. The question is...where do I begin? ... I've been in a perpetual dream prison for years. The answer is obvious... Continue Reading →
I'm very fond of Stephen King's Dark Tower. So fond, in fact, that I'm taking considerable time from an unfortunately busy schedule to reread and finish it (on my first read, I lost the thread at book 6, The Song of Susannah). I've already spoken about The Gunslinger, and the bell strikes for a recommendation... Continue Reading →
Journal Entry The First Let it be writ: Today, an oaf of a man, a woodcutter through and through, passed by my cabin. "Where go you, axeman?" I said. "A good day to you, villain!" he said, scratching his beard. "I am on my way to cut a little girl and her granny out of... Continue Reading →
Work on my reputation. Mercenaries are, by far and large, despised for their tendency to, er, switch sides at the slightest bit of trouble.

I know that to be true, for I saw him rise from the dirt and mud and turn most humanoid. How he hath accomplished such a... Continue Reading →
Diary Entry #215 Ah, my sweet perdition has ended! And to think that I have one of my very own Librarians to thank for it! A nice enough lad, and bright, too--to save me from the throng of half-catatonic Inquisitors--while I'm slowly roasted upon a pyre, no less! I have named this Librarian the Head... Continue Reading →
Another Monday, another Top Ten List! I've been reading and thinking about magical weapons, sentient swords, talking scythes and so decided to do another one of my favourite little lists! If I get an arsehole of a wielder, I'm going to pretend that I'm just your normal, every-day magical sword. No sign of sentience from... Continue Reading →

Today’s entry follows the story of Liadrin, whom we shortly met last week. If you haven't read last week's 'Mishaps,' click here to take a look. Liadrin drew the dagger out... Continue Reading →
