Ladies and gentlemen...
When I start writing Book 9, I had a title in mind. And it was a good title. It was a glorious title. It echoed a phrase we'd already seen in the books themselves, and it was cool, and haunting, and awesome...
But for some reason, it wasn't a "Final Book" title.
I don't know why. Some titles suit the last book of a series. Some suit the first. This title — my lovely, glorious title — suited the first.
I'm not going to tell you what it was, because I do plan to use it at some stage — and I never let a good idea go to waste.
But suddenly I had a problem. I needed a new title.
I needed a new title that sounded like a final book. I needed a new title that fit alongside Kingdom of the Wicked and Last Stand of Dead Men. I needed something almost... poetic.
And so I came up with this.

Annikaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Now you're making me think. 10:30 is too late to be thinking
Think harder. THINK HARDER.
And no hints. Not even a little baby one.
And I just noticed the "Crowley" there Annika. :)
What of it?
*bobs head sassily*
One thing I have noticed over the years:
All the people I like in books, rps, games, shows, ext. turn out to be evil or die. *le sigh* thats what I get for liking the odd ones
CROWLEYYYYYYYYY :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I'm not going to lie; it may be narcissistic of me, but I love it when you people get all concerned about my role-plays.
*laughs*
*spins in swivel chair*
*has tea with Satan*
@Snow: Some of the best people are evil.
And all the best characters seem to end up dead.
I wouldn't worry about it. :)
@Clara: STOP HALF-SPOILERING ME. D:
@Silente: BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE A WARRIOR! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
I guarantee that Photo Finish will either die or be evil. That is my prediction, anyhow.
*jots down Snow's prediction in the Notebook Of Predictions*
Alright . . .
@star Do not ponder young Inkbright, for the warrior lies deep within you. With every particle of you bubble being you are a warrior. It just is.
@Clara. WHERE DID YOU GET SATAN FROM?! HOW DID HE ESCAPE FROM THAT CAGE?! Stupid dealer, knew he was lieing when he said it was so strong it could hold Satan. Gawd daym et!
@Silente: . . .
Sure.
#ChaseForBookNine
If Photo is, you know, the bad guy, I will just cry my eyes out.
I just -
yeah.
#ChaseForBookNine
I am a nerd.
Oh. I have to ded, dont I? Wbd, msd
@Snow: Nerds are cool things to be. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Greetings, I've got an eye test in 50 minutes, but I'm in bed, so it's all good!
Water was running; children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
your city lies in dust
Water was running; children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running; children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
your city lies in dust
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes .......
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust
@star do you dare go against the bubbles of old?
*starts floating* *eyes white* we of the wise bubbles have come to give you this message. You are the warrior bubble. The representative of the Ink Bubble Clan. Revoice child, for you are on your path towards your destiny! *arms raised up* *still floating*
I dedicate this page to being evil. It is a lot of fun and you can be incredibly malicious without being judged.
*throws pinecone at Silente*
HELLO MY DANCING FRIEND!~
Oh damn it Nix comes back and im not even here to say hi. Gah.
*scribbles Star's emotional trauma in the prediction book*
Dammit Silente you're making me want to be a bubble!
I'm afraid I have to go.
*goes*
((Hey Matex! I'll stop floating soon. Jut casually being possessed by stars ancestors of old. As ya do.))
((@tia I am?! Wow.))
Oh. Bye Annika Barnosky.
((Bye Clara!))
Avenged Sevenfold are amazing. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
My dad calls me a tea nazi.
Hmm. Ok!

HEY MATEX
*waves*
Bye Annika!
Sorry for being distant! Jade brought me lunch and it's really nice and she set it out all cute and awh, I have the best sister in the world! :D
@Silente: Hunter is advising me to tell you to shut up and then just go away and be a bubble by myself.
His advice is actually rather valid in this instance.
*hides in a bubbly place and bes a bubble*
@Matex: Hello! :)
And - D:
Fours, Clara! :(
Hey Tia! :)
ONLY I CAN BE A BUBBLE.
*carries in sulking in bubbly place*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom: Yay! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*drops arms*
*blinks*
*eyes go back to normal colour*
*drops suddenly landing on Matex*
Well. That happened..
I NOTICE HOW YOU ALL IGNORE MY DED. *cries rather dramatically*
@Snow: I DIDN'T IGNORE IT!
I MERELY FORGOT TO RESPOND! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, so much for being a time bubble...
Hear hear! For the evil ones!

Your welcome Matex.
*sits up leaning back on her arms*
I figured you need to work on your reactions. I was right.
*grins over at him*
Sum 41 is the greatest. Quote after quote, just amazing.
*doesnt react to her grin*
I remember hearing the song when I was younger. A lot of the songs she quotes I either heard when I was a kid or was introduced to it by my sister.
*beams* I am amazing. c:
*stands up and dusts off*
*offers a hand to help Matex up*
*grins back at silente*

Ok i think you're right about my reactions :P
...did you wait that long JUST for that? My gawd.
*sighs*
*still holding hand out to help him up*
Just get up.
*a smile creeps onto her face*
No, i was making a parma :)
Although i kind of hoped more would have happened while i was gone, making me seem even slower at reacting when i finally came back, buuut its really quiet here.
*grabs silentes hand and stands up*
*looks around and waves*
Hi everyone who i didnt already say hi to! Are we all excited about book 9? Yes? Good. Anyone else like bacon? No? Just me? Ok.

Herrow, puny mortals.
@Trip: I am not mortal. I'm a bubble. *nods*
Hi.
#ChaseForBookNine
Mortal? Moi? Not at all. But otherwise, hello trip!
Sorry, herrow puny mortals, and Star.
My sugar tolerance just failed me, and I only had HALF A LINTT BUNNY! WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME?????????
(*runs in and hugs Trip*
*points to the other place*)
Again, me no mortal.
(Hey Adra!)
I'm dhampir. So I guess I'm mortal... :/
But I'm not puny. :P
*chuckles evilly at Silente's lack of foreknowledge*
ADRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*glares at trip*
*mutters about not being puny and only being slightly mortal*
*flykicks trip's shoe*
Hello there!
@Silente: You are puny. You're twelve. You're short. *frowns*
(sorry, due to my friends being my friends it's automatic for me to mark height remarks now! D:)
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs at silente*
The bacon is...
...
...gone.
Puny:
To be small and weak
I may be small but I am FAR FROM weak
Gtg, fours! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
How dare you flick my shoe? Those shoes cost three souls!
Also, nice to meet you. Who are you?
@lucy, surely you must be nearly finished editing?...
Bye Star! *hugs*
Bye Star!
*punches trip in the arm*
*pokes matex*
I am a gremlin from an alternate universe, sent here by an evil samurai, accompanied by an army of banana minions.
..I'm Matex! Pleased to make your aquaintance!
BYE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! *waves*
I'm definitely not puny; I'm freaking dhampir. I have to be badass;)
NO I'M NOT DONE WITH EDITING I AM ADDING STUFF TO THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE THEO IN A DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL OK
ADRAAA!
Bye Star! <3
*bites silente's finger*
*pulls her finger back quickly*
*frowns at his bite marks*
Do that again and I'll take a bite out of you.
Banana minions? *eyes lights up*
Hey Flora!
*punches Silente, hoping no one who works in HR is around*
*punches trip back, harder*
*clutches face* By dose!
Hey Trip! :D
How are you?
TAKE MY HAND, THERE'S A WORLD I NEED TO KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Ugh someone come visit me & watch Tarzan and Mulan and Beauty and the Beast with me please c:
And Frozen and Tangled too
And just all the Disney films ever
I lie Trip, i lie. I would never work for that samurai, he is a moron. Put a brain inside a banana and stick some googly eyes on it. You now have a banana minion. Do you have any idea how stupid they are? -__-
*smirks at silente* you wouldn't dare
Ahem.
*flashes HR badge*
Consider this a warning guys. Next person to throw a punch.. gets.. a trophy.
If I could Lucifer...if I could.
*punches Matex*
Of course I'd dare. You bite me I'll bite you back.
@lucy, ok, only if you're including Aladin. And the Lion King. They must be high priority!
Ahhhhhh... *steals the minion anyway*
Heheheheheeh
*holds up trophy*
On behalf of the human resources department I award this trophy to Miss Silente!
*applauds loudly*
If you take a bite out of me you'll full vampire and we'll have to kill you :(
ALADDIN AND THE LION KING ARE OBVIOUSLY INCLUDED THEY ARE INCREDIBLE THOSE FILMS OH MY GOD
I just want to chill with friends & watch Disney films forever
And eat ice-cream
[Since when did HR people get badges? I've got to get in on that...]
Can we have like a real life event where bloglandians get together and watch disney films for days? That would be fab.
Trip you will discover that i am much like the office of a problem slueth...
*takes the trophy*
*hugs it*
*puts it in her tree house*
Oh matex. Matex matex matex. I have enough self control to not change just because of a bite. After all I had a shot off bloody vodka with you and didn't change.
YES CAN THIS BE A THING
BLOGLANDIAN MEET UPS WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY
I'll only count myself a proper disney fan until they make those Star Wars sequels. Until then I'm really more of a dabbler.
But to bite a chunk out of me? Thered be blood everywhere, youd be ruined. Out of control. Bright white skin. Sexy black eyes. Wait. I've forgotten where i was going with this.
Has anyone seen my hat?
It's at the bottom of the lake. It really isn't sensible to make hats out of lead.
Sexy black eyes? Okayyyyyyyyy..
And I would not be ruined! I might be shakey and a bit..er...hungry....but I would maybe not be ruined!
*holds his hat* you mean THIS?
*sigh*
Argh! I thought I threw that in the lake!
I mean... um, SAW it at the bottom of the lake. Yes. Saw it... heh.
Who wants a drink?
By the way lucy my snapchat is on hardcore drugs. It got high, and its not coming back down. I think it left the stratosphere. er point being i have no control over it. But for the record, your hair is always funny looking anyway :)
*laughs* Fairy nuff, Matex~
My hair is such a disaster. c:
Hello!
Trying to come up with an excuse for why my characters would be interacting with fantrolls. 0.o
I have a Homestuck friend who roleplays all the time, so we may or may not crossover...
#ChaseForBook9
But its a cute disaster. You have this one ringlet on the side sometimes and its like nawwwww :3
My hat was a Playing With Fire reference but no one got it.
*shrugs* oh well
Vodka please trip!
*grins at Matex* *puts on his hat*
Hey Ari!
Well I'm trying to come up with ideas for relics for my D+D campaign, and I've got block, so I win! *sticks tongue out* :P
(Oh now I see the reference...oh well!))
Hey Aretha!
*pulls hat down over silente's eyes*
This is far too big for you, child.
Vodka with a shot of blood, i assume?
*laughs* Cute disaster? I didn't realise that was even a thing. :P
OMG MY RINGLET IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING EVER EVEN IF I STRAIGTEN IT IT STAYS RINGLETTY AND THAT'S JUST NOT OKAY
well, if you want to get a nasty cut on your head Silente, it isn't my business.
Anyone else? Drinks?
@Star: I KNOW BECAUSE I READ ARTEMIS FOWL!!! Yes!! There's somebody else who likes it too! :D :D :D
7 and 7 with a lime please Trip!~
(I want this irl, but its so expensive :'c )
Of course Matex.
*takes of his hat*
*puts it on Matex*
*finds her own Fedora*
*puts it on the brim casting a shadow over her eyes*
Trip! A bloody vodka please! *smiles* don't hold back on the bloody part.
Right, everyone else, you missed your window. *heads off to the bar*
YOUR RINGLET IS ACE, LUCY.
see what i did their? I used your word, ace, because it really is that cool.
*sets silente's hat on fire*
Hello.
*high fives fabi*
HEY THERE!
You mean MATEX's hat. *hands out drinks*
Also, how are you burning led? Did you use napalm or something?
*yanks her flaiming hat off her head*
*pats out the flames quickly*
*looks at the damage*
*puts it back on in the same position*
*walks over to Matex*
*stamps on his foot breaking several of his bones*
MY RINGLET IS WEIRD (BUT THANK YOU)
ACE IS AN AWESOME WORD C:
*puts Sonic hat on*
*goes back to editing*
Hey Fabi!
HEY FABI!
Im fairly sure they arent made out of lead, but im a pyromancer so it wouldnt be a problem if they were, i can set fire to anything :D
*sips on her bloody vodka*
*wonders where trip got blood from*
*thinks of the potential*
My god...
*he'll never tell*
It is at this juncture that you should realise, silente, that i have no feet. I have no lower body to speak of. Thats why there are no chairs. (Filmcow, anyone?!)
*sips drink thoughtfily*
Trip you have made my day. This is prime stuff. *drinks more*
*that's a little worrying trip*
*downs the rest of the bloody vodka*
*feels it buzz through her body*
Hello Matex, Silente, Lucy, Trip, anyone I missed. :-)
Wbd.
Hello everyone. How are we all??
You have no feet? Or legs? Or balls? Okay then. I'll adapt to that.
*slaps him for burning her hat*
EMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! *attacklehugs*
Hey:3
Hey Emerald! I'm fineeeeeee! You?
Herrow Em, I'm fine thanks, drink?
Hi Em!
Its a joke Silly Silente!
*uses black magic to summon an imp*
*realises imp cannoy fix my foot*
Ugh.
Hello Em! *dofs hat*
(Jeez make yo mind up! ;P )
*jumps half way up a tree*
*sits on a branch*
(Filmcow?)
Silente you broke the foot of your dancing partner, thats not a very smart move tbh :(
*uses black magic to summon elves and such*
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment gets better
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me~
*looks down at the elves and imps and such*
However Matex, he deserved it. So in a way it was wise.
*leans against the trunk watching the stuff that's going on*
(Yes! They make Charlie The Unicorn, and Llamas With Hats, among other things. Look up 'filmcow the interview' on youtube haha)
No I'm fine Trip, cheers.
LULU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs back*
Hey Silente! *hugs*
S'up Matex!
Hey Trip, wanna do more roleplay? If thats okay with everyone else.
How dare you look down on elves? *halfling mafia men gather to protect their taller brethren*
Lucyyy <3
Sure, one sec.
*strolls through camp wolf, sipping a glass of water. Snooping was is much easier with a cloaking sphere, and yet, less interesting*
((I'm in a tree. Your all lower down than me. Ergo I look down towards you.))
((What if it's a really small tree? A sapling, maybe.))
*elves repair my foot with elf crafts and majik*
*stares at the lake*
((Its a big tree.))
*throws a pinecone at Matex*
You're all really weird
You are also amazing
*adds pinecone to a bag labelled "stuff silente has thrown at me", and smiles.*
*sets tree on fire*
*jumps on Silente from behind and starts tickling her*
Well you're amazinger.
That didn't even sound better in my head.
((Prove it.))
Herrow Chione!
*Elizabeth and Boots come past arguing*
Elizabeth: You were told to keep her in her isolation. Her wolf can't handle that much silver at the moment. It's going to want to get out.
Boots: But how do we know her wolf will even succumb to it?
Elizabeth: It takes time but it happens. We just have to make sure that she doesn't hurt herself in the mean time.
And no more getting out!!
*jumps to a different tree*
*glares and breaks a branch off the burning tree*
*throws a branch at Matex*
Hello everyone.
*falls forwards and starts rolling around on the branch*
*giggling hysterically*
H..h...hi ch...Chi!
*bats at her hands*
*nods approval at chione* good work.
*avoids burning branch thrown at him*
*yawns, for he is tired*
*de-cloaks* But you don't need to make sure YOU don't hurt her, eh Boots?
((How do you avoid a burning branch?! How?!))
*Boots stops for a minute before snarling at Trip*
Boots: Castalan!! You were warned before.
Elizabeth: Trip?! What a pleasant surprise but unfortunately we're closed for a while to facilitate some medical evaluations.
I'm sorry Boots, I forgot what you said. I wasn't very interested at the time, and I'm still not.
Hello Elizabeth! How have you been?
I'm so close to finishing editing but I can't be bothered ugh ;~;
I also realised I've not finished editing the epilogue so now I have that and one other chapter to do :I
Your so close Lucifer! Keep going!
Ugh, epilougue.
DAMN YOU PHILLIP REEVE!
There are two parts to the epilogue too, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
FML
*nods back at Matex*
*keeps tickling Silente* How are you little vampire?
Elizabeth: I've been busy, but doing well thank you.
Boots, could you leave us please?
*Boots grumbles something as he walks away from them*
Elizabeth: Now is really not a good time to be here Trip. All the candidates are have evaluations and it is such a delicate process.
Good luck, Lucy! [hugs]
Taking a break might help, maybe?
Hello.
... shit.
Hey Draggie~
*grabs chi's wrists holding them away from her*
*smiles evily * I'm fineeeeeeeee.
*swaps places with Chi in a blur*
*tickles her* how are you my icy witch?
Hey dragona
Yes, well, I can handle myself just fine around drugged up werewolves, don't you worry. No, I'm here because of the sheer harshness Boots treated one of your patients with.
I dedicate this page to... urm... um... hm... BEES.
Herrow Drangona. How goes my new information mine?
I am well, thank you. How are you?
By the way, I posted the first part of that fanfic about the Order I was writing, if you're interested. If you need them at all for stories or whatever you can, since yeah information and stuff.
http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk/ if you want the link.
*facepalm* My blogversary was two days ago!
I see...
You missed you Blogversary? Wow. Well happy late blogversary!
Dragona your fanfic is good so far! Keep writing it!
This can be my royal blogversary, and the fifteenth my actual one.
Happy belated Blogversary, Trip!
ROYAL, blogversary Fabi, royal.
Yes, much better. *sits on throne* Oh yes, I could get used to this.
Shame I'm only royal once a year.
Although, a very convenient string of assassinations and some tactical blackmail and who knows? Who knows...
