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 801 – 1000 of 4721 Newer› Newest»*laughs and dodges under cleaver attacks matching and beating their speed, snapping their necks if they get ti close*
*picks up a fallen scythe and twirls it before burying it deep in a mages stomach*
*shoves mages into the assassins attacks*
*hisses in pain as she shifts, unclicking the damaged glass from the rest of her helmet* *gas escapes as she does so*
*fits the new glass in place, and seals it*
*after a while Zafira herself comes down, encased in shadlws, holding her sword, also alive with shadows*
Zafira: ENOUGH!!! *sends thousands of tiny shadow shards at Silente, trying to slice the vamp up*
(Great Vid Zaf
I think if someone nominated my I would post it on youtube)
Inky:*back still turned* Is it okay?
*looks up at Zaf and hisses as a few slash into her arm*
*throws and blue energy wave at her, enough to blast her back into the building*
Assassin: *the mages fall, dead* *sprints at Silente, dodging left and right to avoid the mages* *pushes off the wall and flips in front of Silente*
You will not escape me.
... It's fine, thank you... *coughs, yelping in pain thanks to her broken bones*
... I hurt... I hurt so much...
*sends a ball of energy into the assassins chest, throwing him back*
I'm doing a damn good job of it.
Assassin: *shoots at Silente with both his silenced pistols* *launches a volley of open-handed blows at her face*
Inky: Sorry...I don't know anyone who can help you...
Christen: *coughs* Well, actually, in the years Ive been searching for you, I have learned that my water manipulative skills have healing property
*pulls out fiddle and plays a nice soft, slow turn*
*water from the air condenses on Leri's skin*
*It soaks in, healing her injuries*
Does that help?
Inky: Awesome *says this in a high, squeaky voice*
*ducks, easily dodging his blows now that she actually gives a damn*
*elbows him across the jaw with a speed even a vampire would struggle to dodge and enough force to at least daze him if not knock him out*
*visibly relaxes, but doesn't stop shaking*
... Thank... thank you...
Zafira: *slams into the building* Owww....new idea: Get the Hell out.
*laughs at Zaf's attempt*
Pitiful.
(Silente - implants.)
Assassin: *avoids the elbow strike by ducking beneath it, slamming her in the stomach whilst doing so* *his arm flickers orange for a second, before small holographic blades light up beneath the barrel of both his pistols* *slashes at her with the blades*
Christen: No problem..so can you tell us where SIlente is now?
Inky: The Sil I knew wouldn't do something like this *voice wasn't much more than a whisper*
(Draggie - Sigils enhancing speed AND vampire)
*winces and coughs at the stomach blow*
*flips back to avoid the slashes, once again throwing mages and Cleavers like ragdolls in his way*
Zafira: *gets up, and Silente finds herself encased in shadows, if she tries to move, they'll slice her flesh*
(I love this vid XD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUneC3h9yUA&index=11&list=FLMvKph9NngI1bjqPBlkSHoA)
*stays very still*
*mutters*
Less pitiful..
*lets her sigils glow up so she can at least see*
Zafira: You're under arrest, for assault and other various charges I'd have to look up.
*glares in the direction of her voice*
You realise I'll just break out idiot.
*activates her computer and tracks Silente*
... She's... at the Sanctuary... The one Zafira works at...
Assassin: It would be wiser to kill her.
Zafira: Well...we have a special cage, designed for when you last escaped. I had some mortals help me, they're called...SHIELD. If you try to break the glass, you fall 1000 feet into a salt water abbyss.
*pauses*
That....probably would work...
Zafira: I figured it would, lets find out, shall we? *touches the shadows, teleporting Silente and herself into the cage, then teleports herself back out,keeping Sil locked in the cage, the shadows that encased her no longer are on Sil*
Inky:Okay... *To Chris* We are going
*chris rolls eyes*
*Back to Leri* do you wwant to come?
*looks around at the glass*
*walks towards the wall that Zaf is behind*
*looks it up and down, wondering how many punches it would take to shatter*
...
*wait*
*smiles*
Easy.
... No... I don't... *sobs* I just want to cry... I was so scared...
Inky: Aww Leri..Its going to be fine *hugs her*It is going to work out...
*hugs Inky back* ... She hurt me...
Zafira: Goodbye. *leaves, fourteen Cleavers guarding Silente*
*laughs*
Idiot.
*walks around the cage*
Yes Zafira, make it vampire proof, that is a good idea. But you see, vampire isn't enough is it. Not when you can quite easily leave via teleportation. Because...that's magic. And that means I ain't bound. And that means..
*her sigils flare up*
I can get out.
*waves at the Cleavers*
Inky: I know... SIl isn't herself... *smiles* I will get her to come to her senses...
Come on Christen. Are you sure you don't want to come?
... She hurt me so much... *still shaking* ... I could have died...
Due Due (welsh slang)
Its going to be alright, bach...
I will get her to apaologise *uses a cheery tone*
*Silente notices her magic is just out of reach to her, the operatives were not stupid*
*frowns*
Or not.
*stalks around the cage, looking at the walls, judging how hard it would be to break*
*how many hits it would take*
*and if Zaf was bluffing about the floor*
...hmm. Am I willing to risk it...
*walks to one of the Cleavers so that she's only kept away from him by the glass*
What do you think?
... James and Erica did something... She said she wouldn't... she said she wouldn't hurt me... But now she did...
Well, if you know Jame and Erica did something...its not the real Silente
(brb)
... I'm scared, Inky... What if she comes back?
*The Cleavers ignore Silente, they don't talk anyway*
*rolls her eyes*
Boring.
*walks to the centre and studies the floor for imperfections, for slits where it might open up*
*lays down and puts her ear against the floor, knocking and listening for if its hollow or empty underneath*
(Brb.)
*appears beside Silente, in her cell, or so she thinks, he could be really outside the cell* I can release you.
*looks up at him*
Hello. Why would you.
To cause chaos, you're more fun to watch when you're destroying people's lives. *laughs* Do you want out?
*looks him up and down*
*eyes flicker to the Cleavers and a grin meets her features*
Only out there. Zaf needs a lesson.
(Back)
Don't worry Leri, I'll make sure Silente is back to her self
*Chris and Inky leave blogland*
*Goes to Zafs Sanctuary*
Whats up?
Sure. *releases her* Watch out. *turns and uses the casket to freeze all fourteen Cleavers* Zafira is in her office, about to go home for the night.
*laughs*
Watch out? You say that almost as if you give a damn Loki.
*looks at the glass cage*
*sends a wave of blue energy at it, shattering the glass*
Stupid cage.
*turns her back on it and steps through a portal, into Zaf's office so she's stood behind Zaf*
*doesn't make a noise*
(dreepypasta quizzes...
Inky:Ugh...hello? *calls out to the empty hall ways*
(Wbd. New DW on in a moment...)
Zafira; *works on files, and gets up, turning, seeing Silente* Oh. My. God.
*punches Zaf square in the face*
Boo.
Guys, NO SPOILERS FOR DW I'm not going to see it until Monday, I'm going to the movie theatre to see it, its like an hour and a half of straight Doctor Who and OMG ZAFFY IS ESTATIC AND THEN TUESDAY I GO SEE PITBULL IN CONCERT :D -Zaf
*Spots Sil and Zaf*
Sil?!
Christen: *voice low* be careful, Miss Inky...
(I won't.)
(I don't watch it anyways
Id like to see PPitbull but last month I saw Kings of Leon in concert...I cant complain)
Would anyone object if I were to post the answers and results for Guess the Bloglandian now?
Zafira: *stagers away, sending shadows at Sil*
((Pitbull...:D I saw Enrique in concert and Pitbull opened and bloody Hell he had moves.-Zaf
(Back.
What the hell have they done to the Doctor Who titles? That's just stupid. And the theme tune has just been ruined. -_-)
(No objections Fabi)
*ducks under the shadows and lashes a kick into Zaf's side*
(SHHH Draggie! No spoilers! Although I agree. I don't like it. But no spoilers! For Zaf!)
Inky: *summons a kitana*
*goes for Sil*
Take this!
Chris: *readies fiddle*
*ducks under the katana*
*sweeps Flick's legs from under her*
(I'm not spoilering it? I'm expressing my distaste at the ridiculous theme tune and titles. *sighs*)
*curls up, shaking*
(Well I personally agree with the dislike of the new title sequence and theme tune.)
*Lands on hands, does a back flip*
*continues to charge*
Chris:*plays fiddle, encasing Sil in water*
((I have it recorded, it doesn't come on until 8 pr 9 here...I think 9...-Zaf))
*growls at the familiar water bubble*
*stops growling because that wastes oxygen*
*attempts to swim to the top*
(OMG HOW DARE THEY!!!)
Chris: *plays the same tune, faster, building up the water pressure, so its harder for Sil to escape*
*growls*
*taps the sigil on the back of her neck and the pressure laughs and the water becomes less dense*
*swims to the top and gets out of the water*
Chris:Damn
Inky: *summons a hatchet*
*slices it at Sil*
(*doesn't know what a hatchet is*)
*steps backwards into a portal, flashing a grin and waving goodbye*
*the portal closes behind her*
(a mini axe)
Inky: Wait!!
*portal the size of a head opens*
Yes?
Inky: *falters* ...Please, become the real Silente again... *tears start falling down face*
*flashes her a smile*
This is me. I can't change who I am.
*portal snaps closed*
*more havock will be reeked*
Inky:*screams*
No!
*sobs escape from her chest*
Chris: *hugs Inky from behind*
everything will be okay, Miss-
Inky : why do you call me that! its so cold and unfamiliar...look Im sorry
I promised Leri that Sil will be back to normal!
Chri: *hugs her tighter* She will be back to normal soon, Inky ...
Inky: *Smiles* Thank you...now where shall we look for her?
*pops up in France*
*in a place that was a small village but grew*
(Sorry I poofed.)
(Don't worry Dragon)
Christen: Shall we go back and ask Leri? She may know
Inky: *sniffles* Okay *smiles up at him*
Thank you for going through this with me
Chris: That's okay*looks away*
*cries quietly whilst curled up and shaking*
*walks up to a big house that looks old and familiar*
*throws a wall of energy at the house and watches it collapse in on itself*
(Hi Sil!!)
((That had better not have been mine <-<))
((Oh wait, France, okay.))
(Hey Blake and Viv)
*goes back and sees leri*
Oh Leri... *hugs her*
(Hey soz DW is distracting...)
*smiles*
*starts breaking down more and more buildings*
*smiles as people start to run, to scream*
*starts slashing them down*
*hugs Inky back* ... Sorry...
Hey... Don't worry
I shod apologise... I let her get away .... I have no idea where she is...*dhoulders shake*
*by now radios and TVs are giving emergency broadcasts of a girl with silver hair of twelve years. Warning that if you see her you should stay calm and alert the authorities*
... I can track her location... if you want...
*smiles* that would be great, thank you
(Watching grease XD)
*activates her computer* *hacks into the mobile phone network and tracks Silente's location*
Where is she?
*taps on her computer and projects a holographic image of the earth, with a red crosshair where Silente is*
... France? ... Do you have somewhere I could write down the coordinates?
Ibky: *i have a pen and notebook by my bed...
Chris: I'll get it *goes and gets notebook* here
(Born to hand jive...XD)
(Hey VivANUS
Hahaha sorry
I'm in a funny mood XD)
*can't hold the pen properly* ... Sorry... Fingers... *curls her two fingers and her thumb around the top of the pen and writes quite messily the coordinates* *hands them back the notebook and the pen*
(SORRY SORRY SORRY DOCTOR WHO BLAME DOCTOR WHO!)
*spins and turns, shredding people with her swords*
*throws them up far into the air and blasts a ball of energy at a large crowd of people so they're smashed into a buildings side which quickly falls, taking with it the building beside it*
*makes out coordinates*
Chris : hmm France ....
... I can call Sophia if you want... She might be already on her way... She could give you a lift...
*social media sites are alight with pictures videos and panicking people*
*three attacks in different parts of the globe within hours of eachother by one tiny girl who uses energy swords and speed*
(Hey Rose! How are you?)
(I'm fine, thank you. And yourself?)
(hey Rose!)
Sophia: *a blue beam spears from the sky, aimed at Silente*
(I'm fine, thank you.)
(Hi Rose)
That would be great Leri *smiles*
*looks up and dives to the side at the last second, staring at the spot that should've hit*
Wow...
*sends an energy ball back in the direction of where the beam came from*
*activates her computer and calls Sophia*
Sophia: What is it?
... Inky wants a lift to France...
Sophia: I am in France. I'm busy.
Sophia: *the beam fires again, as her ship flies down from the clouds*
*moves again, anger flashing in her eyes*
Sophia.
*whirls and smashes another building to pieces with an energy wave*
*cos of enhanced hearing, heard the convo*
Okay... We will make our own way to France... Want to come Leri?
... I don't want to be on my own... I think I'd like to come but... not to get involved... If that's alright...
Sophia: *the cargo ramp of her ship lowers a few hundred metres above the ground, and jumps out, slowing her fall with her energy* *the cargo ramp closes behind her*
Silente, you can't run. No matter where you go, I can find you.
That's perfectly okay *smiles*
Chris:*coighs* shall we go now ?
And you expect me to...what? Turn myself in for the shooting squad?
*smirks*
Nah thanks.
*throws a wave of energy at her*
*laughs when it sends civilians flying*
... How will we get there?
Sophia: *her arms glow blue, and blocks the wave of energy with a barrier*
*pushes the barrier forwards, lightning fast, sending it at Silente*
*is thrown back by her own energy wave into a building and it collapses*
*coughs and comes stumbling out*
Sophia: *turns her palms upwards, glowing blue* *nearby debris lifts into the air* *throws pieces of concrete at Silente*
Inky : hmm I guess we could go via human means... But that may take to long and *points to wolf features*
This would be a problem
*taps the sigil on her forehead and her shield fades up to defend her*
*glares at Sophia*
THAT was cheating.
... *raises her three-fingered hand, and then with other, points to her hips, then her legs* ... You have no idea...
... I couldn't make your technology go faster than light... Not in an atmosphere, and not without a suitable system...
... Getting up to that speed wouldn't be a problem... it would be slowing down...
Sophia: How so? *lifts up four cars and throws them at her*
Clone: I can help...
... Silente? *hides* ... P... please don't hurt me...
*watches the cars crumple to dust when they hit the shield*
Using my own attack against me is cheating. Now, could you just, you know, GO AWAY!
*deactivates the shield and runs through the crowd*
Clone: No I'm..Leri I'm Silone...
Christen : I could make a river in the sky... It would be hard but we can use the boat out back... And then when we arrive I can manipulate the water to slow is down...
Inky: awesome Chrissy! I didn't realize yoy were so smart
Chris:*blushes but no one can see because of his scales*
Sophia: *runs after Silente, swiping pedestrians aside with her energy*
... Oh... sorry... Could you transport us there?
*laughs and runs quicker, slashing at some French people now and again*
*does a free hand cartwheel for the sake of it*
Clone: Are...are you okay Leri...
... I... I don't know... *breaks down crying* ... Silente... she hurt me...
Sophia: *draws her pistol and starts shooting at Silente whenever she gets a clear shot*
Clone: Hurt you? How...do you want me to heal you?
*laughs ans dodges the shots*
*spins so she's running backwards and waves at Sophia*
Christen: yep *beckons everyone outside*
*hjm and inky. Push speed boat onto the stream
Get in
*manipulates the water under te boat, aswell as water I the air, creating a floating river*
Inky ; let's go to France!
... She... she was kicking me... she broke my hip, maybe my knee... my helmet... *sorbs* ... I've already been healed...
Sophia: *continues shooting, then lifts herself up with her energy to get a better shot*
*climbs in the boat* ... What's this?
Clone: Oh okay then. Come on Leri. Let's go to France..
*laughs and flips*
*turns to face the right way and runs into a building*
Clone: *gets in the boat*
This boat is an old speed boat I found and repaired
How long until we are there, do you think?
Sophia: *lowers herself down to the ground, and continues running after Silente through the building* *throws masses of energy at her, and also uses her energy to throw any available objects in her direction*
... What does a boat do?
*laughs but then stops laughing when a chair hits her in the head and sprawling to the ground*
Ow!
*scrabbles to her feet and glares*
Sophia: *is now only a matter of metres behind Silente* *fires her pistol at her*
A boat travels on water... A speed boat goes after than one that relies on wind to push it
*moves but the shot hits her shoulder*
*hisses in pain and her eyes flood with anger*
Beech!
*hurls a chair at her, running up the stairs while Sophia is distracted*
*faster
Oh... Alright...
Sophia: *blocks the chair with a barrier of energy, then lifts herself up the stairs effortlessly behind Silente using her energy, continuing to close the gap*
*speeds up and rounds the corner, leaving the stairwell*
GO AWAY!
*spins and throws a ball of energy at Sophia as she leaves the stairwell*
Chris: *sees Eiffel Tower overhead*
We are here
*starts playing fiddle slower, lowering them to the ground*
Inky: right, where is she...? *Sees destruction and follows Sils scent*
Leri? Do you want to stay at the boat?
... Yes, I think I should stay here...
Sophia: *moves out of the way* *creates a barrier in front of Silente*
*glares at the barrier*
Fine.
*throws energy at the wall behind Sophia*
*runs as a blur and dives out the hole as the building starts to collapse*
Sophia: Shit. *starts running towards the hole that Silente jumped from*
Okay... Just stay put...
*follows Sils scent*
chris: wait ... Mi... re I mean inky!
*finds Sil and Soph*
Inky: ah ha! There you are *summons kitana*
*comes up in a roll and dusts herself off as the building fully collapses*
*walks away from the building and throws a wave of energy at another building, destroying that too*
*not much more TO destroy here...*
*runs stealthily after Sil*
*holds up kitana*
*spins and looks Flick up and down*
What.
Sophia: *creates a barrier to protect herself, and manages to get free*
*runs across the street and takes cover away from Silente's view*
*aims at Sils stomach *
This is for Leri!
*steps back*
*Flick would be difficult*
*Flick was fast*
Boo hoo the little alien got hurt. Big whoop.
*steps out from her cover, firing her pistol at Silente*
Shut up
*growls as she strikes again*
And this is for everyone else!
*snarls when a bullet hits her shoulder*
I said GO AWAY!
*throws a ball of energy at Sophia*
Sophia: *the energy hits her in the chest, forcing her to take a few steps back to avoid losing her balance* *keeps firing at Silente, closing in on her*
*aims for Sils stmach*
This time I won't miss...
(soz mini poof)
*snarls at Sophia and cries out when the katana slices into her stomach*
*stares down at the blade, a look of shock on her face*
*looks up at Flick, eyes looking fearful and innocent for a moment before hardening*
*stabs her in the stomach*
(you already stabbed me in the stomach Flick)
*falls to her knees, sliding off the katana*
*falls forwards onto her arm*
Oh...
*coughs and stares at the bloo*
Shit.
(**blood)
Sophia: *pushes Silente to the ground, placing a foot on her back and her gun to her head*
(I aimed but I didn't stab you yet )
*stares in horror*oh no
*starts babbling about how he thought it would never work*
*falls to the ground sobbing*
Chris : Inky! *kneels down and pulls her into a hug*
*doesn't fight against Sophia, just tilts her head to the side*
Sophia: I see no reason to keep you alive, Silente.
(I'm going to bed now
Night !)
*her face is pained*
Then truckin shoot me already beech.
*coughs again and more blood comes out*
(Bye Chloe!)
Sophia: I'm going to. *pulls the trigger*
(Bye Flick!)
*dies with a slight squirt of blood*
Sophia: *lifts Silente's body up, and takes it back to her ship*
(Ah shoot.
I hereby and hence forth dedicate this page to correct grammar. I struggle dearly to use it myself but it is a pleasure to see, if it does occasionally instill headaches upon me when I attempt to understand it. And so, to correct grammar.)
Clone: *runs to Sophia, dragging Leri with her*
Wait! C-can we get a ri...
*her voice trails off as she sees Sil's body*
..de....
Sophia: Sure. *activates her computer and radios the pilot* We're ready for pickup.
James: *stood in the shadows of a destroyed house*
*phones Erica*
...hey...yep...yep...they got her...yep...that's what I was going to ask you...okay...see you seen too..love you too darling.
Clone: *looks at the body*
....you should close her eyes..
Sophia: *her ship flies lower until the cargo ramp is all but touching the floor*
... She... she destroyed all this?
Sophia: Why? I didn't have any respect for her in life. Why would I treat her corpse differently?
Clone...because....because...
*holds Leri's hand*
It's...polite?
*sobs quietly* *holds the clone's hand tightly*
Sophia: Fine. *closes Silente's eyes* *walks up the cargo ramp of her ship, putting the body in the corner*
