There's something about the night sky
That speaks to my soul
And drags me in
Showing me the fabric of time
Whispering how to make a cape of it
Like all the secrets of the world
Is right at the tip of my tongue
And I'm so close to Knowing
That it feels like I already Know
Yet I know nothing
And it fills me with awe.

Eralon’s… Gender

"The books are wrong."  The smile on this particular oracle's face was amazingly smug. 
~*~

The Restrictions of Foros picks up a story I started back in 2013; this is the fifth section of a story about Eralon and the Gods of Foros.

Bilge Rats and Puppets, Chapter Four

Jones had left nothing but a series of hash marks in his cell, but the pattern of them was interesting, so Charming copied it down into a book.  It was possible the pirate really was hiding some secret.  Charming certainly had a few of his own.

Saving the Cult (if not the World), Chapter Thirty-Eight

Lina couldn't quite focus her eyes, so she put up a hand in the direction of the voice.  She blinked a few times, until she could see the woman in front of her.

New post on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/post/Down-Stairs-J3J53EAW0

The stairwell in the back of the building was cold, it was bland - just concrete stairs and metal railings - and it somehow managed to seem longer than the stairwell in the front of the building.

When you went all the way down...

Lucky Dice

The tavern was old; it had been old for longer than the country around it had existed.  It was made of stone and wood so old and so saturated with smoke that it might as well be stone; it had never stopped being heated with wood, although the design of the hearth had changed from time to time.

This story came out of my Annual New Year's Eve Prompt Call; it's a slice-of-life, I suppose?

Eralon Discovers

Some oracles of the temple were suspected to be not that well connected to the deities, if at all. Some of them used a voice that, among the cloisters of their dormitory, they called The God Voice.

Some, however, were truly taken by the god.

The Restrictions of Foros picks up a story I started back in 2013: the God Eralon has some complaints about the way things are being run.

Charming had his hands in Jones's hair, getting the last of the soap worked through the mess of it, when someone knocked on his outer door.

The Bellamy, Chapter 29

"So we're nearly to the skeleton room now, which means I suppose I should leave you to your work."  Amanana patted Veronika's shoulder. "You've done very well so far today, from everything I've seen, and everything you've told me.  Don't let anyone bully you into thinking differently, and don't let them bully you into backing down about the things you're angry about, all right?

Purchase Negotiation 51: The Ball

"You know, for some reason I expected you to fight this sort of clothing."  Mr. MacDiarmad was helping Leander with his bow tie. 

He didn't actually need to help with the bow tie, but Leander wasn't going to call his Keeper, his Owner, on something like that.  

"What, the tux?  If it was something really obvious, I might have complained a little..."

The pirate was already there, of course, in his chamber.  He'd pulled himself to his feet as Charming entered; he was standing unsteadily, his eyes following Charming.

Saving the Cult (if not the World), Chapter Thirty-Seven

The geyser was still coming.  It was smaller, it was weak, but it was a category-2 hurricane instead of a cat-4. It was still going to cause a lot of wreckage if it was allowed to rip through the city.

/Hurricanes.  I could stop hurricanes... I have got to do a lot more studying./

Lina squeezed all three boys' hands in turn and let Jackson steer, around to the side of the plant. "If we hadn't been willing to do this, if we hadn't been here," he murmured, "I'm pretty sure they'd have let it blow again, without telling the city where they needed to evacuate."

Kissed the Boys and Made Them Cry….

We weren't ready. 

We'd been training for weeks - months - learning our companions, learning to use the reliquaries we carried with us, learning to use or own strengths and weaknesses.  We'd nearly fallen to a much less important enemy more than once....

The Bellamy, Chapter 27

"This part of the Library is open to the general public without an appointment, and, as such, it's almost entirely benign," Amanana explained, as they moved through an area full of shelves and books that looked almost like a normal, albeit rich, library.

The Bellamy, Chapter 26

It only took Amanana a moment to recover from the surprise Veronika had given her. 

"Time travel."  She chuckled, although it was a bit weak.

"Your dog," he clarified. "Your hound."

"Mmm. My Leander," she murmured softly. She wrapped her arms around him, pressed a kiss to his forehead, kissed the edge of one of his ears. "Thank you."

"Get his attention," Amrit rasped. He didn't want Mieve to know how badly he was injured; he didn't want their enemies to have any idea at all about his injuries. "I want his word before we start putting him in shape to fix us... mistress."
