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...

I already know a few... Heh...)
(I'M NOT SHOUTING! I LOVE YOU!)
(Wait what? ._.)
(HAHA! I HAVE CONFUDDLED YOU!)
(Wanna go a few rounds, Blake?)
(No you have worried me ._.)
(Aw, Blake doesn't return my affections...
*Sigh*)
(DO I?! :D)
(As in do I wanna go a few rounds, not the affections thing. Chi for life <-<)
(<3)
(Can't laugh in class, you idiot. We're doing stuff on the murdering of Jews. And such. I'm snickering... Ish...)
(That was mean. I was joking about the idiot.)
(Lol, been there, done that, watched a video on the mass graves.)
I need something to do with my life now that I've finished making that puzzle though.
(But I was almost laughing. Dude. You can't laugh when learning about the war!!)
(You can laugh knowing that Hitler's favorite drink was apple juice :D)
(Okay. That is funny.)
(Wanna fight now, Blakey boi?)
(It's true, and it's my favorite as well. On that note let's get this party started and hope that isn't a sign I'll commit genocide in the future!)
(After you, good sir.)
(Ladies first.)
(Age before beauty.)
(Then why haven't you gone?)
(Bastard.)
*She rolled her shoulders and grinned at Blake*
So, it seems like I was almost killed because of Chi. She took Sil's supply. So now, guess who's a little mad at that?
*Opens one eye and looks up at her from his position on the grass*
And I assume I'll be your anger-venting device?
*She smirked*
No. Yes. Well, I'm going to kill you. Because Chi almost had me killed.
*She glared down at him, the smirk still playing on her lips*
YOU are going to kill ME? Tell me, how many times have you said that?
*Blake kicks himself up on to his feet and turns to face her*
I've said it a few times, but I was usually distracted. But now I'm certain that your head will be mine.
*She grinned and sent an easy punch for his nose*
*His eyes narrow and a wall of light erupts into existence between them*
Sorry, dying still isn't on my to-do list.
*The wall rushes forwards*
*She leaped it, sending a repulse between the ground and her feet*
Easy. You'll die.
*She twisted her fingers and the gravitational pull around Blake became stronger and pulled him down*
*He falls to his knees, straining against the gravity. Setting his fist on the ground, his chains weave into the earth, surfacing all around him about four meters away. They fly through the air at Rose and latch on to her limbs tightly*
(D- did you leave me? ;n;)
(Class...)
*Her gravity control slipped and she plummeted to the ground with a yelp*
(Might get a little distant in a sec...)
(Alright)
*Blake grabs the large diamond shaped shield from his back and leaps up into the air at Rose as she falls, intending to bash the shield into her gut*
(Because they conduct his magic.)
(Yes he is. His abilities are anyways, the demon that was suppressing his power is gone. Has been for a while.)
*She cried out as the shield hit her full in the stomach. She hit the ground and groaned. Her head rolled to the side and she glared at Blake*
I hope you die...
My Avengers poster has Thor and Stark...my life is complete.-Zaf
(Zaf, I'm so jealous...)
*He lands in a crouch, shield held in front of him with his sword resting on top of it, pointed at her*
I hope you stop believing you stand a chance.
(Dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.)
(Be back in five...)
There's a story behind it.
So my friend, V, drew 3 Norse Runes: Strength, Youth and Luck.
Strength: Last year she felt ill after Starship, a ride with strobe lights, this year she didn't. During the fireworks the fireworks strobed and she reacts horrid to strobes, didn't make her flinch.
Youth: We both felt and acted like little kids, and we were so full of energy!
Luck; We played a dart game, and she hit TWO targets, winning us each a poster. Then my mom played a candy game, first try won six bars of candy.
Now tell me that isn't just plain crazy.-Zaf
*She got to her feet, managing a small chuckle*
I can win... I can always win...
(That is actually the coolest thing ever, Zaf.
*Nods*
*Totes isn't envious*)
And yet, you never have.
*He runs at her, shield up and sword stabbing multiple times for her arms and legs*
No one has...
Loki says the poster needs more of him on it.-Zaf
*She cried out as the blade got her arms and legs. She tried to bring her limbs out of the chains but she couldn't*
I will... Just you-
*She screamed and fell to her knees*
Just you bloody wait...
(Aw, Loki, if it makes you feel any better, you're the first thing I see when I open up my laptop.)
I feel happier.
I know exactly what you're going to say, but here's your one chance...
*He slowly brings the point of his sword to her throat*
Live or die?
(You better be!)
*She glared up at Blake and grinned*
Get a life.
*She rolled, the blade slicing at her neck, and got to her feet*
You're a bastard, I'll tell ya that.
That was not one of the options. Since you're standing I will assume you want to live.
*He sheaths his sword and lays back down on the ground, putting his hands behind his head*
I gotta say, that was kinda disappointing.
*She laughed in shock and shook her head*
I didn't say I was quitting. You're the one who gave up in the first place. I am not giving up. You are.
I do. *casually holds Leif*
So you DO want to continue, that's what I expected from you.
*He stretches, his palms opening in Rose's direction. Multiple glowing crosses blast from his hands and rocket towards her*
(Blake will be dead.)
(Ellie, I don't question your character, so don't question mine.)
(Loki, many have tried, all have failed.)
... I have to pay seven dollars for shipping or on more stuff.
defining that stuff is coming across as very difficult. All I want is the freaking book!
(I have an idea, dig a hole, and bury yourself in it. You are a useless lump of something they call a possible human form. Go back to the angels.)
(I have an idea, go back home to Asguard. Oh wait, they don't like you there either, do they?)
((He's an angel...-Zaf))
Do you really want to go there, Blake, because you may end up in a hole.
*She leaped over the crosses and raised an eyebrow at Blake*
Chicken.
((El, seriously, stop. Ok? You're starting to act like Blake and I are doing things wrong, we both know the differemce, so please stop trying to boss us around on how to interact with one another.-Zaf))
*Ducks under chicken*
(Be back in five ish...)
Rose, do you wish to cuddle with me?
((Part* angel and that has not been mentioned in canon RP yet <-< -J))
I was telling you to go there, then making note of how you are accepted nowhere.
Chicken? All I'm doing is laying here and you have to dodge. If anyone was going to be pinned as a chicken it'd be you.
*He continues to fire crosses at her, shifting around to get comfortable at the same time*
((Don't worry, Loki isn't planning to do anything cannon unless you want. He may try to kill you non-canmon. -Zaf))
Stupid Midgardians...
*She laughed quietly and dodged the crosses again*
But you're the one relying on their magic. You. Are. The. Chicken.
Loki, I ain't stupid.
I... am not keeping up with this...
*tilts head* I never would call YOU stupid, you count as an Asgardian.
*Blake sighs and closes his eyes, not bothering to waste more energy on the crosses*
Were you not here ten minuets ago when my sword was at your throat?
Aw, Loki. That's sweet.
Blake. I slit my throat. It's still bleeding. But you said that I gave up. I had no intention of doing so.
*She glared down at Blake, her fingers curling as the gravity around him became stronger*
*sighs as Kari sits on his foot* How did I end up watching the twins?
Because you're a lovely father and you take care of them when your girlfriend is in a fight? I love you, by the way!
*He shifts around uncomfortably*
You need to learn some new tricks.
*Chains wrap around his body like an exoskeleton and Blake bounds to his feet, sword drawn and shield up*
I really rather cuddle you. *Leif decides to play poke Daddy in the face* Both of you...
It's a little hard when you're now a mother and your love is technically an alien...
*She tapped a symbol on her shoulder and a pulsating blue wall appeared in front of her - a shield*
But then again, I do have a little time...
Naw, Loki, we can cuddle once Blake's head is mine. We can have a big family cuddle!
This is what Sil said when she was having a non canon role play with El.
(DUG IF YOU DARE SHIP THIS YOU WILL DIE!)
How did she know......
I TOTALLY SHIP SILLENI!!!!!!!!!
AND VIVILENTE!!!
(*Ships*)
(Also, I'm not here. Catching up on comments and it will take awhile.)
You want to talk about your complicated love life? My wife is a minor goddess who's been around longer than anyone standing here. Yes, even Loki.
(That a shield like Blake's or a wall?)
And I thought that dating Loki was a little out of it... He is about thirteen hundred years older than me... But Chi? Ew...
(It's a wall of blue energy. Touch it and be zapped into next year)
*stares innocently at the sky*
*whistles*
Did I do something?
...
I'll have your head for that insult.
*His body glows as he dashes at her, leaping into the air above her shield and coming down sword first as nothing but a golden blur*
*She leaped forward with a small yelp and the wall of energy moved with her. She turned so her shield faced Blake and laughed quietly in shock*
You're pathetic little wife would have laughed at that....
*turns into mist so Elleni falls through her and hits the ground*
*laughs and floats quickly away*
For that one I'll take my time cutting you to pieces.
*The glow intensifies as he turns into a streak of light, dashing around her and letting lose a barrage of white crosses from all sides*
(Water droplets...)
(Also, Wbd. Trying to read back through comments. I'm still on the other page...)
*She cried out and pulled the wall in tight to her. The crosses hit her and she fell to her knees on the ground, gasping*
Pathetic... You... Rely... On magic...
Perhaps I will go to bed shortly, my author is yelling.
Zanida: *lays by Loki, her head in his lap*
See I have my sister.
(Zan... That's my spot...
Okay, Zaf!)
*He comes to a halt behind her, raising his sword above his head with both hands*
From the one who can do nothing but make people feel heavier.
*The blade glows with a brilliant light and crashes down*
*solidifies before she is pulled far*
*runs away from El*
*when she is far enough away from Elleni she turns into mist again and floats to her tree house*
Zanida: Thor is doing king stuff, so I'm borrowing Loki.
*sighs, absently playing with his sister's hair* She will be moved when you are ready, Rose.
(It seems I fell asleep. Oops.)
*She turned, only to see the blade coming straight for her. She lifted her arms to defend herself and didn't even notice when they were sliced through. Her eyes widened slightly as the blade through her. Her body fell to the ground, limp*
(She better be, Loki... My spot.)
(WB, Dragona!)
so i'm sitting in history, the teacher at the front of the room, me right near the front, and we're talking about the weather outside and she came out with "it's a nice day for gardening"
and
i
said
"yesterday was a good day for murdering"
and she looked at me
and just
nodded
(Oh my God.
Snow.
OMG.
*Dies*)
( I'm dying of laugher
i can't
bye)
(Toodloo, Snow!)
She will. I just want my sister for now.
Zanida: *falls asleep against him*
Hmph. Now to fulfill my promises.
*He grabs her body by the hair and lifts it up slightly, running his blade along her already cut neck*
Starting with having your head.
*gives Astrid Zan and the twins, stepping in, using the casket to freeze Blake* Enough.
(Hmph... Okay, then, Loki...)
*She let out a little gurgle, trying to say Loki's name. She'd still been conscious, but when the blade finished on her neck, she had stopped. Her body had given up. Her eyes turned glassy as she stared up at the sky*
(Is Blake supposed to be religious? I think they have teachings against this. Little ones. Every now and again.)
((Lucky I decided to stay awake, I'm tempted to not revive you.-Zaf
(Aw, don't be mean...)
(No Blake kinda threw that away a long time ago. Also, Rose dared to insult Chione in front of him. That's the same as begging him to kill you in horrible ways-J)
((If I fall asleep, I ain't reviving until I wake.-Zaf
Astrid: *drags Rose's body away from everyone, deciding Blake better havr a will, and heals her injuries, then, Jabari himself revives Rose*
(So he isn't holy?)
(Okay!)
*She gasped and sat up, a whimper escaping her throat*
Loki...
(Will people kindly stop asking me about that? It's gotten very old very quickly. -.-)
(Well, I was wondering. Because although Christianity might be completely contradictory, I think the teachings on not killing people are pretty clear... But now I'm imagining Blake as a crazy religious extremist. Um.)
(Yeano. The number of people/deities Blake answers to is currently one. That's only because he's married to her.)
(I believe there are religious teachings against that, too. :P Then again they could have been contradicted. And maybe the thing about killing people could have been contradicted... Hm.)
(That is actually the best thing I've ever heard, Blake.)
(I believe I just made clear that Blake's opinion on religious teachings is "Then let me be damned to whatever hell your little cult believes in." :P)
(XD)
(School is ending soon...)
*sits underneath her tree*
(I have to go now. Bye!)
(Bye Dragona)
(I'll be going now as well, goodnight everyone.)
(On, briefly, if anyone else is on.)
(I have to go now. Bye!)
(Hello...?)
(Seems I'm back briefly.)
(Hey Rose! How are you?)
(Yeah, I'm good. Drowning in tears and homework.
You?)
(Why tears?
I'm fine, thanks - currently confused at the people who mentioned shipping Leri and Silone but yeah. :P)
(I just watched The Time of the Doctor...
Uh... I hadn't heard of that until now...)
(Ohh... Pasta dinner... I'll be back soon!)
(The Time of the Doctor was a little meh, I think.)
(I was actually in love with Matt Smith. It hurt when he left.)
(I thought he was alright towards the end.)
(When I first saw him, I hated him... But he... We are so much the same... Both eating whatever strange combinations we come up with, both so quirky...
And now he's gone...
It's like he's died...)
(I didn't like him for a start then I thought he was alright. Not the best.
Sorry if I'm distant, destroying planes.)
(That's always a great hobby.
Destroying planes...)
(Yeah... I accidentally crashed into a German town.)
(Ouch.)
(Yeah... Um, sorry Germany.)
(Germany is actually a great place... I can't believe you did that...)
(I didn't mean to! Some German aircraft shot by spitfire and I lost control. :P)
(Yeah yeah... Whatever...
*Looks away*)
(Crap I just got shot down by an American ship and took it out in the process.)
(Heh. Good riddance.)
(Okay:
-Great tie breakers Fabi! Will do ma best...the umbrella ones are difficult...
-Welcome back El!
-Let me make this clear Dug and El, no El x Sil ships, no Leri x Silone ships. THEY DO NOT EXIST! *burns both ships at the stake*
-Duggy! You're back!
-Oh look Blake. You didn't get Roses head. Ha!
And finally, hello all.)
(Hey Silente! How are you?)
(I have been better. I have also been worse so, I'm fine. You?)
(I'm fine, thanks.)
(Crap I just crashed into another plane.)
Lately I have been reading far to much fanfiction than what can be healthy... I think I'm addicted, because I'm even reading the bad stuff. Like, thecreally, truly horrible stuff.
What is wrong with me?
Please, send help.
(Snow - you should probably stop. :P)
@Drag thats the thing. I cant. I physically cant. And it scares me. *rocks back and forth, hugging my tablet*
(I think that disturbs me a little. You have an addiction.)
I think it disturbs me a lot.
What happened to me?!
(You have become addicted. You need professional help. :P)
*sighs* this calls for desperate measures... I need my brother to lecture me
(Lol. Yes that would be one solution.)
My brother - professional help.
If he can't convince me to stop reading fanfiction, no one can.
(If that doesn't work, the next step would be a ban on fanfiction. :P)
XD yes.
Also, now you need to ded. *may or may not have rigged that*
(Damn it. I dedicate this page to... Skittles.)
Hear hear!!
That dedication is so touching and heart warming. I makes me wanna... *sniffs and tries not to cry*
beautiful
(It came from the heart.)
I could tell.
(True Blood is over.
____ is dead.)
(Wb Rose. I don't know what true blood is.)
Hi Rose. I make the same statement as lizard boy there.
Annnnddd I need to sleep. Night
(True Blood was a series about vampires and varies and stuff.
Lots of sex, but I went out of the room for that bit.)
*faries
(... Ok. :P
I don't watch that much television. I just tend to plug my PS3 in and play Mass Effect.
I executed someone. :D)
(Why did you put the :D after you said you executed someone...?)
(Because they deserved it.)
No one deserves to die, Dragona.
(By my Mass Effect character's definitions, she did. She helped Saren.)
I told my best friend about my depression today. Well, technically, he found out himself. He was looking over my shoulder at my emails and saw a few of the subjects. Then he looked at them when I left for a moment.
And he never ever would have guessed...
(That's good that you told him. He might be able to help in future.)
Aw, like hell. But it's a nice thought:
(He might surprise you.)
No, he won't. He's Andrew. He's my best friend, but he'd never be able to help me out of this hole I've dug myself.
(I just shot someone else.)
(Deathy...don't underestimate him...He might not be the sole hand that helps you out, but that doesn't mean he won't be one of them. One of many.)
Ugh. We're talking about it now. He's saying that he would never kill himself.
I honestly don't care.
It was I who was going to kill myself, not him...
(*hugs Deathy* You really don't wanna talk about it do you?)
That was harsh. I didn't mean it like that.
I dont care that he's going on about how he would never kill himself. I do care about him, but I was talking about me killing myself, not him killing himself.
And now I've made him cry.
No, not really...
(...Whoops....er....*hugs Deathy's friend*)
Rose....
(hello Loki. Care to continue where we left of or will your stay only be a short one?)
Depends if my author falls back asleep.
Hey Loki...
(What's happened?)
(Ah well it is only like.. half eight there... so is that a no or a yes?)
