3.13 - The Shade Well

Anneleigh and Gwyddon in their new forms followed Laria’s instructions to the summoning circle of Malevolent Shade Well.  As Laria predicted, they were able to walk freely among the cultists and their summons. 

3.12 - The Hag's Curse

Anneleigh and Gwyddon listened as Brother Jebiah described how to find the Hag’s Cottage.  As it happened, it was not far from Tearfall Run.  The research camp had been set up in the shadow of both the cottage and Shadefallen Keep, the old Mathosian castle of this area that has now been overrun with endless cultist.

Anneleigh stood to leave, but Laria raised her hand. 

“I can do one better at the moment.  Best not to enter the cottage until my sister has her focus trained on you.  You can do so much good before she suspects you have found out her plot.”

Anneleigh nodded and returned to her chair.    

Laria was quiet for a long moment, and when she spoke, she once again sounded tired and weak.  “You have already heard me tell you I am indirectly to blame for this mess.  It is not because I took up arms with my sister, but because I had insight I refused to share.”  She sighed and lowered her head, a show of defeat Anneleigh had never associated with the spirit guardian.  

Letter To Readers

Hello Friends,

Thank you all for your continued feedback.  I welcome all comments and truly appreciate all the suggestions and love shown towards my stories.  I write today on a particularly unfortnate matter.

In the past month I have been receiving a number of comments that appear to be more ad space than genuine comment.  This becomes a particular problem when the links and websites may be questionable in content or web-safety.  It has become quite the challenge to decide which posts are harmless and which are really only attempting to bump their own page hit count. In order to remain 100% age appropriate for every reader, and to have greater control over which websites I appear to support.   I have made the following decision. 

From this point forward, comments advertising other websites will be deleted.  You are still welcome to leave a comment with your link in your name, but visible links, "visit me" text, and or "my website has a new post" gives the appearance I support a project I may not. 

I am happy to plug websites that I think have real substance, but I feel there is a better way than blind links in the comments.  If you have a website you'd like me to link, please email me.  If I feel it is in keeping with the spirit of this blog, I may include your link on my sidebar.

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

Anneleigh

3.10 - The Brugher

When Anneleigh returned to Gloamwood pines she was surprised to find Doctor Oswell continuing about his business as if nothing had happened.  In the back of her mind she was sure he would have heard his fraud had been found out – that he would be packing his belongings and trying to sneak off into Scarlet Gorge.  Instead, she found him in much the same position as before; tending to the infected and sick.
