This time next week, many of you will have the final book in your hands. Most of you will be reading it. Some of you will be finished it.
I am so utterly delighted with the book and how it turned out — I really think it's the best one of the series — and so I am thrilled with the trailer that artist extraordinaire Tom Percival has come up with.
The clocking is counting down...

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4721 Newer› Newest»I started on Blogland before I started year 7 and it's almost the end of year 10 for me now. Have to say, didn't keep it up regularly but I have made some great friends (ahem, Zath and Nix).
Good ded, Snow. And thanks Rhydian!
(*damn it my cover has been blown!*
*hides*)
(HEAR HEAR SNOWY!)
*completely knew all along that Arnold was actually Arnold Schwarzenegger*
*so saw it coming*
*such a predictable plot*
*they need better writers for this thing*
Ah, I met Zath a few times. I haven't had the pleasure of knowing Nix though.
I'm going into year 11, so that makes us about the same age my fellow Sky?
AWESOME DED SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*wonders how the ded was awesome when it was only a few words*
*shrugs*
*hugs Arnold and the Sky's*
*laughs because that sounds like a band*
(*they do need better writers*
*they should hire Derek*
*5 DAYS DJWNSIDDOEKWBSBDIEKELEMEBFF!*)
I guess so, fellow Sky. *smiles*
Zath and Nix are both a pleasure to know.
*cries silently*
*doesn't want the series to end*
*sniff*
I wish I knew more of the older Bloglandians. The newer Bloglandians are awesome and all, coz compared to you I could be considered a newer one, I'd just like to know what Blogland used to be like, y'know, earlier on
(*wonders who'll die*
*laughs at how stupid that question is*
*wonders who WON'T die*
*O_O*)
*realizes its 11:30 and the parents aren't home*
*they said they'd be back 30 mins ago*
*will have to have a stern talk with them when they return*
Switching to phone brb
*hums elevator waiting music*
*msd*
*just a warning*
Back!
(*tut tut bad parents*
*they're late*)
Blogland was... Magical. It truly was. Occasionally.
It did of course have its problems but for me it was an escape I couldn't get anywhere else. I could escape to this place I was always welcomed, where I could run through forests that didn't even exist and splash my friends with gleaming water that was all in our imaginations.
I can't say I know how it is now because I so so so rarely come on but that's how it was for me personally.
*hugs Arnold*
*is in a hugging mood*
(That sounds like fun Helena. It hasn't changed too much...there's more blogfighting now by the sounds of it...)
It was the same for me when I first came here Helena :)
It feels different now for some reason. I think it's because of the ever changing people, I love making new friends but I do miss my old friends who I hardly see :(
Oh there was a lot of fighting back then. Just not drama fighting.
Oh is Nix's volcano still around?
(..I know there's A volcano..)
I dunno Hel.
If there's A volcano it's probably the volcano that was originally Nix's. *grins* Cool.
(OMG FIGURED IT OUT!!!)
(mum was being so kind and loose with my brother because she's buttering him up! Because my older sister said he wanted to move to dads! Omg!)
Yeah Sil?
Oh okay cool *smiles*
(Ugh. She's trying to get him to stay with alcohol and fags and girl/boy sleepovers. That's..that's...ugh.)
Brb
Parents are back and I think dad may have had a tiny bit too much to drink
(Oh. Awkwaaaaaaaard.)
I gotta go to bed, night guys!
Back!!
Night Helena!!
(Night Hel!)
(wb Rhydian!)
Hey Sil!
(So, figured out the mortal problem yet?)
Er...no not really. I have an idea though
(Need help developing it?)
I think I'm good Sil. Can Help if you want?
(Its fine. Either way..)
Nm its all good then. Although i have thought of a way to regain Rhydians powers, but I'm still not sure if he wants them back or not
(I suppose if he doesn't want them back giving them is mean..)
Yeah. Still debating what to do. Atm Rhyds is weighing the pros and cons
(Pro! Safety. You can defend yourself..)
There are two ways this can go in my opinion.
1) He stays mortal and tries to forget all the bad stuff that's happened to him and become a bit more ofa normal teenager. But will have a certain degree of magical involvement.
2) He tries to get his magic back but all the crap that's happened to him had taken its toll and hes more meaner, darker in a sense and kinda greedy, wanting to have something he possibly should forget about.
So he'll either be to sweet for his own good or a bit of a rogue/rebel who looks after himself. But deep down he'll still care kind of.
I think...
Out of them number one sounds more like him in my opinion...
(And the Dragon returns to its coup!)
Yeah...but I am considering merging the ideas but that's difficult. One is more likely, two is more fun to write. And possible number three is difficult.
Hey Dragona! How are you?
(*flies around* :P)
(Merging them? *wonders how you merge magic barstool with nice mostly mortal*)
(I'm fine, thanks, Rhydian. You?)
(*nods* Draggie the Dragon.)
(*flies around more*)
(Okay Draggie the Dragon better not set anything alight.)
Alright thanks for asking Drags.
I think I'll try my best to merge the ideas but learn to 2 a bit. Coz no one actually knows that Rhydian CAN be quite cold and manipulative. How do you think he met the Headless horseman or why did he get on with Lena so well lol *rofl* Rhyds really does have everybody deceived haha
(Ey! 666! Hehe.)
Lean**
(*sets fire to a tree*)
*looks at tree on fire* ...poor tree
(Lena... ;-; Lee Lee. D: Lenian.)
(*pours water over the tree*
*or was that gasoline...*
*runs away as the tree explodes*)
Lenian has got to be the oddest ship ever. She's like mid twenties and he...well all I'm gonna say here is Cheshire haha
Lena loved him, Rhydian had "deep affection" for her. That's how it worked. I like to think that Rhy was her salvation after her really hard life
(Lena D: </3)
James and Erica and a weirdo: *teleports into blogland*
James: *looks around and teleports them all to Elleni's house*
*sat underneath her tree*
(Oh and Rhydian, weird ships? Sil LOOKS twelve IS one hundred and thirty free will LIVE forever unless some kills her and yet has four (i think) ships. James, Viv, Mat and the one that doesn't count.)
Good point. So the ships Rhy is in a pretty normal then hahaha
(I ship no one and no one ships me. I'm pleased about that. It is one of my codes. Ships are something I refuse to take part in. :) )
(**three)
James: Right get to work.
Erica: *smiles at James* don't be so mean...would you darling? *flashes the weird a dazzling smile*
Weirdo: of c-course an-anything for y-you..
*lays his hands over dead Sil*
James: *whispers to Erica* we should go. This will get messy.
Erica: *lays a hand on James and they teleport away as Sil's eyes fly open*
(*whispers* Droki)
(Droki never existed.)
But why not Drags? Ships ate really fun. I get shipped with loads of people its hilarious and it's fun to also wreck other humans feels *nods* like Lenian for example or the ones my friends ship which is Cordian (yeah, I get shipped with Corvo for some reason?)
*nods* Droki
Are*
(Because I don't find them fun. :P)
(*whispers* Droooooookiiiiiiiiiii)
Sil: *lunges forwards and quite literally rips the weirdos throat out, drinking deep and leaving his corpse for El to find*
But they areee funnnnnnnn!!!!!!
(I am already taken and have no wish to be shipped with anyone else.)
(Hey Dragz how'd you feel bout Leri possibly being hurt?)
Omg new ship!!!!
Dragona/mystery someone! Okay help me Sil with ship names!
(I'm fine with it, as long as she doesn't die... :P)
(Draqua.)
(Rhydian - back in the older gen we already had a ship name. Draquila. Didn't like it much.)
(Good good. You might need to figure out WHY she doesn't die but okie doki)
*plasters a smile on her face and wipes her mouth before stepping out into the clearing, blood coating her front*
So who is this mystery someone since it looks like sil knows? (Btw Draquila is cool in my opinion)
(Aquila? She was in the older gen.)
*looks around for someone, anyone*
Don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting her.
*activates her computer and scans her tree*
(Out of curiosity, what type of tree does Leri hide under?)
*smiles, eyes gleaming*
*walks over to Leri*
Hello..
(She sits under an oak tree. Possibly the only place in Blogland she likes to be. :P)
... Silente? ... Or are you the clone?
Which do you want me to be?
*takes a smooth step closer to Leri*
*sits back with popcorn* *watches rp*
Msd btw guys
... You're the real Silente. I'm so sorry... I'm the reason why Sophia shot you... I'm really sorry... I hope you can forgive me...
(That's fine Rhydian. Enjoy da show!)
Forgive you?
*takes another step closer*
*her eyes seen colder than usual and harder*
Well THANKS, Derek. Now I'll have to read KOTW and LSODM, knowing I have this to look forward to afterwards. :P
Also, :O :O :O because TOm's ART. :)
Rhydian, Aquila is great. :) But she doesn't tend to come into Blogland anymore, I think. ^^
... *hovers?*
... Yes... I'm really sorry...
... There's something wrong with your eyes...
Hey Taia! Haven't spoken to you in time! You okay?
(Hey Taia! How are you?!)
*a slow, violent smile like an open wound seeps onto to her face*
Oh Leri. So soft. So sweet. So peaceful. But you never were cut out for this world were you. Never were designed for Earth.
*takes another step closer so shes hardly a metre away*
*takes a step away with Silente*
... What are you talking about? ... What did they do to you?
(*from)
Hey, Dragona! I'm good, thanks! But I have a semi-headache, and my right hand seems to be shaking, which is a little inconvenient. :P
Hi Rhydian! *nods* I'm good. :) My computer recently died, though, so I was having trouble getting on. :P
Hey, Silente!
How are you all? :) ^^
Do to me? Nothing really. Chained me down. Knocked me out. Feels strange leaving your own body. Then being split up. Waking up again.
*eyes gleam*
And not having a stupid voice in your head. Telling you right from wrong.
*steps forwards*
(I'm fine, thanks, Taia.
You could try reducing the brightness of the screen and see if that helps the headache. As for the hand... that sounds very inconvenient.)
(Better than yesterday. Hopeful worse than tomorrow.)
Good Taia! :)
Gtg now :( Bye y'all!!
*takes another step back*
... They've changed you...
(Bye Rhydian!)
(Bye Rhyds!)
Oh have they.
*her eyes narrow*
Are you saying you still don't like me Leri?
*steps forwards toward Leri, expression darkening*
@Dragona: I tend keep my screen's brightness low anyway. Thanks, though. :) ^^
*hugs Silente* :) :) :)
Aw, bye Rhydian! *hugs*
(wbd, probably.)
... I don't trust you... They've done something to you... *takes another step back*
You seem to be... confrontational... I don't like it...
Oh little Leri the peaceful alien doesn't like it. Boo fricken hoo.
*blurs and slams a kick into Leri's side*
(OW OW OW I FOUND NORMAL SIL SHE'S BEATING MY BRAIN UP!)
*gets knocked off her feet, yelping* *scrambles away from Silente*
... Please... please... just leave me alone... *crying*
(Bloomin hell there a fight going on in my head! Nornal Sil is attacking evil Sil, James and Erica are chanting and cheering, Clonie is trying to get them to stop with words and Manuel is just shaking his head at the side...)
(Lol. Sounds like a real mix. :P)
*laughs bitterly and walks after her*
*mimics her voice*
Please, please just leave me alone!
*laughs and stamps on Ler's kne*
Of sorry my ffoot slipped.
(Its very noisy I'll tell you that...Sil is REALLY going for it....)
*screams in pain and holds her knee close to her chest* *activates her computer and points her holographic blade at Silente*
... Please... *crying a lot, from pain and shock* *is visibly shaking*
*laughs*
Oh. Innocent screams are so beautiful..
*looks at the holographic blade*
*laughs some more*
As if you'd try. You're too scared.
*kicks Leri's helmet, sending her head rocketing backwards*
*her helmet hits the ground* *tries to scramble away, holding her leg* *deactivates her blade and just aims her computer at Silente*
... Please... why are you doing this? We... we were... You said... *crying a lot*
*laughs*
Aww poor Lewri. Scawed of da wittle vampire.
*laughs again and walks towards her*
It's a computer Leri. What are you going to do?
... I can freeze you... I can shock you... I... I have a shotgun... please... just stop...
*pauses a moment and pretends to think*
Stop having fun or continue? Hmmm..well since you asked so nicely...
*turns, as if to leave, and instead spins, lashing a kick into her side again*
No.
(Sil is screaming. Sil is begging...)
*screams as her hip breaks* *clutches her side, breathing heavily, a wheezing noise between every two breaths*
*her computer ionises the air and lightning arcs towards Silente* (It will be less powerful than a taser... quite a lot less powerful. Enough for maybe a muscle spasm but that is all.)
... Please... I'll... I'll do whatever you want...
*watches the lightning and jerks slightly*
*raises an eyebrow*
What if I don't want you to do anything.
*steps closer to Leri, towering over her*(if she's on the ground that is..)
What then.
(She is on the ground, yes.)
... Keelah... please... please... don't hurt me... *tries to use her arms to push herself backwards* *yelps in pain from her hip and knee*
*reaches down and pulls Leri up*
*lunges forwards with a punch that would'be broken her neck, stopping a hairs breadth from her face*
Actually i do have a job for you.
*drops her*
Tell Sophia not to get in my way. Taraa Leri. Till we meet again.
*laughs and steps backwards into a portal that closes behind her*
http://youtu.be/iCzYHioeU2A
I NOMINATED DEREK!!!!
-Zaf
*she lands on her broken hip and screams, clutching at her waist* *when Silente leaves, activates her computer and calls Sophia*
... P... please help... Silente... something is wrong...
*groans in pain and clutches at her injuries, knowing full well medical gel won't help* *cries*
(XD "and of course, Derek Landy." Awesome! Ha that looked cold Zaffy!)
*looks around at where she's emerged and smiles*
Sophia: *her ship flies from the atmosphere and hovers a few metres away from the ground* *the cargo ramp lowers, and she walks out* *the cargo ramp closes behind her*
(Okay. Unless people want me to type about Sil basically going on a rampage against Zaffies sanctuary.. imma just watch...)
(also msd 4 food.)
Sophia: *sees Leri* Leri, what did she do to you?
She... she... *sobs*
Sophia: Where did she go? Why the hell is she even alive?
... P... portal...
Sophia: Shit. Track her.
*activates her computer, tapping into the mobile phone network and searching for Silente's location, her hands shaking uncontrollably*
... Sending... coordinates...
Sophia: *activates her computer, receiving the coordinates Leri gave her*
Thanks. Just get someone to help. I have a vampire to kill.
... No... wait...
Sophia: *goes back to her ship, and flies to the coordinates*
(Silente - it might be a good idea for some indication about where Silente currently is. :P)
*just lays where Silente dropped her, not wanting to move because it'd hurt* *cries*
(sorry food came. Back now. I've decided not to destroy Zaffies sanctuary. Sil is in Australia. Destroying a town.)
*laughs as another building shudders and comes crashing down, trapping killing and maiming anyone unfortunate enough to get out*
*spins with het sword, slashing people apart with a flick if her wrist and wading through the screaming bodies of civilians and police alike as helicopters whir overhead, trying to catch sight of whoever is causing the havock*
*idiots*
(Aha.)
Sophia: *her ship hovers a few metres away from one of the taller buildings* *exits her ship via the cargo ramp, and jumps from the top*
*her arms glow blue on her way down, and when she gets close to the ground, uses her energy to slow her speed so she lands behind Silente, already raising a pistol at her*
*notices several fine cracks across the glass of her helmet* ... Keelah...
*spins and spots Sophia*
*growls*
Go away.
*dances through the throngs of panicking people and throws a giant blue wave of energy forwards, smashing people into the building behind them and killing them instantly a moment before the building itself shuddered and collapsed with a groan*
*laughs at the sight*
Sophia: *shoots at Silente* *her arms glow blue, and throws a shockwave at her*
*laughs as the shockwaves catches her and throws her back*
*lands on her feet and spins, slicing people in two with her sword*
*taps sigils and energy shards fly out and stick into people before exploding, sending blood and gore showering down on people*
Sophia: Silente! Stop! *uses her energy to lift up a car, and throws it at her*
(Food, brb.)
(Kk)
Why?
*ducks under the car and it crushes the people behind her*
*spins looking at the car*
*grins*
Tut tut Sophia.
*looks up as the helicopter sound gets louder*
Helloooooooooo
Ive just discovered Im going to the Rotherham vs Swansea footie match
(Back.)
Sophia: *uses stasis on Silente*
(Whats up on here? omeone fill me in?)
(Chloe - James and Erica brought back Silente. Silente went on a rampage. Silente hurt Leri. Sophia is hunting Silente.)
(Not bloomin Stasis. Ugh. Hate stasis. Hey Flick!)
*her eyes fill with fury as her body freezes*
*people continue to scream and run*
*the helicopter circles, trying to get a clear shot*
*officers race through the crowd, fighting against it to get to the vampire*
(Ah okay ^^)
Inky: *comes running*
Silente?
Chris: Miss Inky! Wait up!
(Can you DODGE stasis? Also 'Sophia is hurting Silente' is probably an understatement.)
(Stasis is a biotic ability which lands instantly. Sophia creates a field where Silente is. She doesn't throw it. :) )
Sophia: *shoots at Silente*
(Also Flick we're in Australia)
(Oh Okay ^^)
(where were we originally?)
(Well, Leri is currently in Blogland laying still so she doesn't hurt, with a crack in the glass of her helmet, a broken hip and possibly a broken knee...)
(So no you can't dodge it. That's incredibly irritating I hope you realise.)
*the shots land mostly in civilians who stupidly get in the way as the stasis wears off and officers reach her in bullet proof clothing*
*blasts them back with energy into buildings, smashing windows and in a few cases causing them to crumble to the ground*
*weaves through the crowd, keeping away from Sophia and out of her sight*
*twelve year olds are very easy to lose in crowds*
(Oh Okay)
-still in blogland-
Inky:*speed walks* *bad mood*
Christen: wait up!
Inky: Why should I?!
Christen : I know your mad for me getting rid of your cider...
Inky: Mad?! Im furi....*notices Leri, injured*
Leri? *ruses to her* What happened? *concerned*
(It's lore friendly. *shrugs*)
Sophia: *her arms glow blue and she moves them apart, causing a barrier to hold back the civilians* *spots Silente and runs after her*
... Silente... She... she broke my hip... and my helmet... Please, help...
I'm back now :) -Zaf
(Wb, Zaf.)
Helicopter: *starts shooting now it has a free shot, at both Sophia and Sil*
*growls at the shots and taps a sigil as energy builds up in her hands*
*looks up and sends the energy ball catapulting upwards, smashing into the helicopter with a resounding BOOM and sending it into a building*
*laughs at the result*
Inky: Si...Sil did this? how? Shes dead!
*shakes head* What do you want me to do?
Christen: Don't get involved, Miss Inky
Inky: Why? Why shouldn't I. I cant rrememeber you being so up tight!
Christen: You may get hurt *tries to reason with her*
Inky: I don't care! Sil and Leri are my friends!
(Hey Zaf)
(Hey Zaf! Your sanctuary is next if Sil survives this!)
Sophia: *the helicopter shots hit her shields* *continues to shoot at Silente, throwing a shockwave at her*
... Please... Help... If... If I don't get my helmet fixed soon...
Inky: *looks frantic* Um.... where do yu get your helmet fixed? I can t t take it there...
*laughs as she's thrown forwards*
*spins to face Sophia, a smirk on her face*
*blows her a kiss and flips backwards into a portal that snaps close behind her*
*lands the flip near the sanctuary Zaf runs*
... I... I just need the glass fixed... please... I... I don't want to die... *sobs*
Sophia: *sighs* Asshole.
*goes back to her ship and tracks Silente*
Assassin: *appears behind Silente and shoots at her with his silenced pistols*
Inky: Don't worry, I wont let that happen
(how shall I fix this?)
Chirs, Take her into the cottage
Christen: Yes, Miss *picks Leri up gently* *takes her inside and places her on Inkys bed*
(*pauses a moment* Zaf? You still here?)
*screams in pain and does her best to stay still*
(Chloe - she really needs the glass of her helmet repaired. To extend her life she should be put into a room with no bacteria or germs.)
(Ah Okay)
Christen: Wouldnt it be more sanitary to put her into the kitchen? I know how much you like your cooking and you keep the kitchen extra clean.
Inky: Okay *nods head
*Chris takes Leri to the kitchen*
*inky remembers old man Higgins, the craftsman that lived in her pack.*
*-hmm, surley he wood have books or something on glass...okay*
Chris, stay here and help Leri in any way you can...theres somewhere I have to go
((Crap my Sanctuary is next?!-Zaf
... *points to her pocket* ... I need immune system boosters...
*turns into a wolf and runs*
*a few hours later, Inky arrives at the ghost town that used to be her packs place*
*finds old man Higgins' shop*
*Turns human, realizes she forgot clothes*
oops
*searches around and find his glass making book and supplies*
*smiles*
*carries them to her old house, struggling to keep calm*
*finds bag and turns back into a wolf, bag in mouth*
*goes back to cottage*
*turns human*
Slight spam...
Almost there
Keeping oing
BOOM
MINE
Spam?
Oh, you were wanting to get first comment on the page.
Christen: *sees boosters*
*injects them into her arm*
Inky *reads over the book*
*carefully but quickly mixes the ingredients and uses her oven as a kiln*
*tries to shape the glass like Leri's helmet*
*lets it cool
*hands it to Leri*
Is this okay?
(Your sanctuary is now.)
*ducks under the shot and spins to the assassin*
*slams an energy wave into him and turns to the building*
*taps the sigil she tapped when the helicopter was shooting and throws the energy ball at the sanctuary, basically blowing up the doors and wall*
*Cleavers and mages swarm Silente, some armed with serum, Zafira herself is being escorted out, by a squad of Cleavers*
... Yes, I think that is okay... Please could you... look away?
Assassin: *continues to shoot at her, closing in fast* *raises his palm at Silente and energy discharges from it*
I dedicate this page to revenge on Derek, I did nominate him so he better do it. This is for the fandom!!!

Alas, I ded to TDOTL, or the last book that'll kill me so badly....*cries*
