And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.
Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?
To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.
Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

*reloads her pistol*
Where have they gone?
*the muscular man turns to her*
Away. I wouldn't know exactly where. Just away.
------------------------------------------------
*is walking through a rather dark tunnel holding Silente*
*now and again the shadow remove parts of her* *the parts drop to the floor with dull thuds*
*raises her pistol and aims it at him*
Tell me the most likely place they will have gone, or I'll blow your brains out. Think I'm joking? *points at her blood soaked armour* Don't chance it.
Shadow walking is only close range. Where have they gone?
As I said woman. I wouldn't know. He gone somewhere he think safe. He no left loose ends. No tell anyone safety roots. Just pay and order.
*nods*
-------------------------------------------------
*has reached a large alcove* *drop Silente unceremoniously to the ground* *steps over her body letting the shadows continue tearing her apart*
Hmm. Well. This'll have to do I suppose. For now. Not like your going to live.
*turns back to her* *she's only got stumps now*
*shoots the man in the head*
Thank you for your cooperation.
*heads back to her shuttle*
You know what, I'll let you live. In fact I won't even put you through the course. I'll ruff you up a bit more but after a day at most I'll let you go.
*shadows stab through her stomach turning sharps and twisting*
*another shadow cuts off what remains of her left leg*
*yet again this is all viewable in the clearing via hologram*
*sees the hologram*
*scans it again, getting their location*
*gets into her shuttle and flies to the location and, seeing nothing, unleashes thermal scans*
*sees them underground* Shit.
(Sorry internet)
*fires Thanix cannon on her shuttle into the ground - a blue beam hits the ground and molten metal drills into the earth at a significant fraction of the speed of light, solidifying into a projectile*
*stops the beam, climbs out of the shuttle and goes down into the tunnels*
*the shadows in her stomach rip free causing quite a high amount of damage* *the shadows move quickly to stop her dying*
If only you were awake. Well. I'll leave you now. I'm sure you might be found at some point.
*shadows move quickly and slash her all over leaving lacerations covering her body* *they also stand into her limbs and smash them*
*leaves a black dome next to her and it begins beeping* *shadow walks away*
*sees the man shadow walk, and has just enough time to fire her pistol at him before he vanishes*
*sighs*
*sees Silente and runs to her*
*starts coming concious*
*coughs and coughs more a stream of blood coming from her mouth*
*stares wide eyed at Sophia*
*breathing quickly and still coughing blood*
New post. :-)
Also, Silente, you may want to check your email. Or you may not. I don't know, can't read your mind,
Anyway: NEW POST
MAJESTIC

Dang, a few more thousand comments on that last one, and we're already this far from the latest post. I was still HERE during this post! Or at least, I was still coming ON then... Sort of. Ahem, anyway.
Just wanted to stop and say hi to those who read this and know who I am. There are too many new faces for me to actually come on and talk, cause I'll feel a little awkward, so just posting my little message here. Miss you guys. <3
Hope you're having a great life lavender. Wish I knew you!
LAV [hugs] Miss you too! <3
(Here!)
(Soooooooo far back. Oh my potatoes!)
Are you sure...?
*smiles*
(Soon we'll be back to where I first commented...in October 2011. Ahh....)
(Am I in the right place?)
Sure, what should we toast to?
(Yeah Velvet)
Hi.-Zaf
(Kay, thanks guys! Will continue ghosting unless anyone wants to rp?)
That's a nice one...yeah *smiles*
To new people *raises her cocktail*
(Hey Zaf. Wanna continue?)
(What happened to the red-haired girl, vel?)
If you want to deal with Loki go for it, Velv-Zaf
*Takes a drink of her "sex on the beach" cocktail*
*Looks at her stockings and one of the strips holding them up has snapped*
Damnit...
(Oh. Nm. You have velvet.)
(Ooh, people fighting over me, how exciting... I left her behind, she probs got kicked out of the bar... Will continue with her tomorrow maybe
I can continue-Zaf
(Its fine Zaf. Rp with Velvet.)
(Today may be the first wakeboard session of the season!)
I-i'll be right back...
*Looks around for a girls toilet*
*Finds it across from the door and quickly goes to it*
*Goes into the bathroom and sorts her strap*
*Splashes cold water on her face whilst she's there*
((Rose are you on summer holidays?-Zaf
It's fine, I don't mind ghosting
*Goes back to him, smiling and blushing*
I'm so sorry about that...they hardly ever...
*Looks to change the subject*
You drank that quickly.
*Takes another bug gulp of her Cocktail*
(Velvet it fine. I have YouTube. Rp with zaf.)
((Sil-Sil its fibe Loki can make multiples of himself.-Zaf
No, I feel it too, pretty sure it's warm.
*Looks down at her Scythe, leaning against the wall*
So, what's your name?
(Lol, I'm using youtube too!)
(@Zaf ooooh yeeeeeeah. -facepalm- lol. Idiot.)
(No, not yet. A week an a bit left! :) )
Cordelia, Cordelia Bloodlord.
Hello Zaffy, Ms Clarente-is-totally-not-my-jam-but-I-would-like-to-see-more-of-it-anyway, Velvet, Cordelia and Xan! Good evening, that is. :)
(Battlestar Galactica fanfiction and fanart are probably a thing! Yay!)
(Hey Tia)
(Um I presume I'm ms Clarente-is-not-my-jam-but-I-would-like-to-see-more-of-it-anyway?)
Hey Tia!!!-Zaf
Well, I'm quite unique too. There are not many like me. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. *laughs*
@Xan I know you weren't talking about the name I just mentioned, but I think your comment applies nevertheless.
(It does Tia :3)
(Hello.)
(Yes, Sil.
I have the urge to call you Clarente at times.)
*huggles Zaffy*
Might be distant. Ghosting. Sorry. Looking at things.
...
Check out the teaser trailer for the new Star Wars film. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing a Star Wars film in cinemas.
And Back to the Future remake please?
(@Zaf where were we anyway?)
(Hey Soph)
*Looks at him*
*Eyes sparkle for a second*
Now that you'll have to find out for yourself.
Hey, Soph. How you doin'?
(Silente, did you reply?)
(I am depressed, Tia. Yourself?)
(@Soph yes. I think. Just to be sure;)
Helpful! I meant specifically!
*Takes another drink*
*Tilts her head back and finished it off*
Yes please, but i'll pay for my own this time.
*goes for her purse again*
Bethany: *fires a beam of energy at one of the flying soldiers* I am going to crash a ship into the army.
Hmmm....Loki was making moves on Ashlea. Dirty creep.
Tia- :/ Okay
-Zaf
(@Zaf uh okay..)
Ah. Right. That's..I'll do my best to protect me.
Ashlea: -takes another step away from Loki- why do you want me to come towards you?
(I'm depressed, Soph.
@Zaf What on Earth is Loki doing?)
*Sighs*
Why won't you let me pay for my own drink, Harrison?
smirks*
((Being a creep.-Zaf
Scared of me? *uses a mocking tone* You fear me, Ashlea.
Ashlea: yes, I do..you just told me you have evil valkyries of course I fear you!
(Loki... Rose has been dead for a week and you're already moving on?
Ouch...
This is why I play Skyrim.
Tata!)
You know my name, then you must know what they call me. God of mischief and lies....*smirks*
Bethany: I will have to concentrate. It is not as easy for me as it is my mother. I need you to protect me.
*Blushes* Gorgeous...huh?
*Takes a sip of her second Cocktail*
((Well guys I need to go, it's getting late. Goodnight everyone.))
I can try...
Ashlea: lies? Were you..lying?
((You do realize he just messes with people, he plans to murder Ashlea. He just is having a bit of fun....-Zaf
Dude!! I was joking!!
(Zaf you haven't screwed up..)
Bethany: Thank you. *closes her eyes and grits her teeth, splaying her hand towards the black army* *the air begins to shimmer white, the front of a large cargo ship appearing* *slowly, more and more of the ship becomes visible*
Sorry had my moment of freaking....*sighs* sorry.-Zaf
-first energy beams at any of the soldiers that come near, gritting her own teeth against the energy usage-
How do you know what is true?
(It's fine Zaf. Just calm down )
Ashlea: I-I don't..
(Zaf, Danni. You're not screw-ups.)
(Danni, how much time have you spent in Skyrim?)
I thought so. Come closer.
Bethany: *when the ship has been created, drops it on to the black army* *the boat begins to slide towards the city walls* *collapses her spear into a short stick and fastens it to her belt, splaying both her hands, struggling against the weight of the boat with her energy, attempting to slow it down*
Ashlea: -hesitantly steps closer-
-darts forwards, flying quick to the front of the boat, deactivating her wings and dropping in front of it, straining to stop the boat, being pushes back but trying anyway-
*holds her close to him, he hadn't had this much fun in killing a Midgardian in a long time* ((he can murder her, yes?-Zaf
(Uh...I'll admit I rather he didn't but yeah...Just have zaf revive her?)
Ashlea: -stiffens against him- L-loki? What are you d-doing?
Bethany: *moves to the front of the boat, still in the air* *flaps her wings furiously to try and push the boat back* *it begins to slow*
-strains harder, pushing against the boat, using all her strength plus that of some extra sigils-
((Zaf will, just have her call for Zaf as she's dying or something. -Zaf
*kisses her cheek* Experimenting. *with his one hand stabs her with his dagger close enough to the heart to make it a painful death* I have not killed Midgardians in a long time, I have missed this. *he vanishes*
*the boat begins to slow further*
Bethany: *continues to push against the ship, slowing it to a crawl, the defending army scattering*
Ashlea: -cries out, screaming, dropping to the floor clutching her chest as blood pumps out of her- HELP! -sobs, tears leaking from her eyes- Leri..
-feels the wall nearing and jumps, putting her feet to it and pushing off hard-
Ravel: Zaf, someone needs help.
Zafira: *shadow-walks down to Ashlea, and immediately begins healing her* Who did this?
Ashlea: L-loki -is still crying- a-am I g-going to die? I w-want Leri..
(It seems that took too long to type out.)
Bethany: *the boat stops* *sighs with relief, releasing her grip on it* *an arrow thuds into her shoulder* *she hisses and cries out, landing on the ground*
Beth!
-pins the archer with and energy beam to the face, burning through their head-
-sprints to Beth's side-
You okay?
-activates her wings, shielding Beth-
Zafira: You're fine now, I promise. Loki is a nasty person-
Am I?
Ashlea: -flinches at Loki's voice, hiding behind Zaf- H-hi Loki..
Bethany: Fine... *breaks off the shaft, keeping the arrowhead in her shoulder* It seems they are not immortal. Minerve's soldiers usually are.
Zafira: Loki, enough.
Oh....? Enough? Hello, Ashlea.
That's good isn't it?
Ashlea: -hides a bit more- a-are you going to hurt us again?
(About time! Took forever to find you guys...)
Bethany: Indeed. They are nearly all dead. The defenders should win, now.
Good
-her wings fade and disappear-
Cause if I use any more energy I'll pass out.
No. That was just a bit of fun really.
Zafira: Go.
Do remember where your loyalty lies, Grand Mage.
Zafira: Sure as hell not to you.
Ashlea: please..Just leave without fighting..
I will. *vanishes*
Zafira: He is untrustworthy.
Ashlea: I d-dont think he's very nice..
Zafira: Calm down.
(Distant... and is going to disappear soon....
but hi)
Ashlea: -nods and makes a visible effort to calm down- thank you..for fixing me..
Zafira: Of course.
Ashlea: -hugs her gently- thank you for making the bad man leave..
Zafira: Certainly.
(Maleficent is a cool film. I should sleep now though. Bye.)
Sleep then....-Zaf
*Loki walks alone through New York City, he passes the shops all decked out for Christmas, and Macy's where children line up to take pictures with Santa. He made himself appear as a Midgardian shopper. He knew the Midgardians made a big deal out of this holiday, all he knew was that they gave each other presents and the children believed Santa came. That much, he knew. Did he know why they celebrated? No. Something was strange though, he knew that him and Zanida would be dead soon if they did not think of how to rule earth. He also had a new problem named Banner. As he walked he saw something odd, someone who looked Asgardian. He vanished and appeared home, he didn't like this idea.*
Zanida?
Zanida: What?! *is carrying Kari*
Watch the twins.
Zanida: Alright.
I'll be back, I want to go see Frigga.
Zanida: Go on, I'll handle them.
Thank you. *looks up and the sky and goes back to Asgard.*
Heimdall: Frigga is in the garden, Loki. Thor is with her.
*Vanishes, appearing by Frigga*
Frigga: Loki! *hugs him tightly*
Hello, Mother.
Thor: *leaves them alone, going to find Zanida on Midgard*
Frgga: Loki, something troubles you, what is it?
*Breaks away from her embrace and looks at a flower, ironically a red rose* My wife is dead, I cannot find words to tell the twins. I do not understand this fully, but my Rose is dead.
Frigga: Loki, you must understand that often bad things happen. No matter what, you always will have people there for you.
You believe this to be easy, for me to move on? I was happy for once, I had my own family. I do not even know where her body is to send her off properly! How do you explain to children their mother is dead? Why did it have to be her?!
Frigga: You know she will wait for you in Valhalla, she died an Asgardian.
Is that enough consolation for me? You know she will be there, but where will I be?
Frigga: With her-
-No. Not in Valhalla, I'll be with my daughter, Hel. In another five thousand years.
Frigga: You need to understand that Rose is waiting for you, if you believe you will never see her, you will never get through this.
Really? To think after all I did, all I will do, I will see her? I want to avenge her death. I want to find whoever killed her and make sure they know pain. I had enough emotional distress from Odin lying to me and now this.
Frigga: Your father-
HE'S NOT MY FATHER!
Frigga: -Never intended to hurt you.
He onlt intended to lie.
Frigga: Loki, talk to Jabari please. Tell him what has happened, perhaps you can get him to find Rose's soul.
*He picks the rose, and speaks quietly, almost to himself* Then tell the children their mother is gone.
Frigga: Tell them she has gone to Valhalla and we do not know when she will return, they know we travel to realms, and if Jabari cannot find her, I will tell them.
Very well. Thank you, Mother. *turns to go back to Heimdall*
Frigga: Loki.
Yes?
Frigga: If you plan to go to Valhalla and find her yourself, take your sister.
Why-
Frigga: She rules Asgard, her authority may help you.
Very well. Goodbye. *vanishes, and travels to Midgard*

(I do Soph.)
(I am afraid not.)
(I am afraid so )
(I hope you understand we could keep doing this forever without stopping? We are both stubborn. You once said that I have the ability to bulldoze the arguments of others. I am somewhat against doing the same to yours, as your argument is due to metaphorical blindness.)
(We are both stuborm. Although you're more so.)
(I am indeed. So the only possible outcome would be you backing down. So we should aim to save ourselves some time? It is not like I am expecting you to call yourself amazing, but an acknowledgement that I am correct would suffice.)
(-sighs- I'm not acknowledging a lie.)
(Hello)
(Hello, Cordelia.
Of course you aren't, Silente. I just want you to acknowledge that I am correct in saying that you are amazing. No lies here.)
(Hey C.
But I'm not Soph. Hence, lie)
((I don't want to go to school...))
(@Chi neither do I..)
(School is somewhat compulsory, I am afraid.
No lies. You are just blind to the truth.
I have to leave now. Goodbye.)
((*sighs* today is going to suck...))
((Bye Sophia))
(bye Soph.
Wanna talk about it Chi?)
((The fact that it's my birthday and you totally forgot? *raises eyebrow*))
(I didn't forget. I just don't understand Why that's a reason for school to be bad..
And can i ask (this confused me on what date your birthday was) why was everyone saying happy birthday yesterday?? I was sure it was Thursday and people kept saying happy birthday and I'm confused..)
((I'm kidding Jaimie. That's not why :) today is just gonna...suck. And I need to go so I don't have to run for my bus.))
Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please don't be sad now, I really believe...
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me...
(bye. Happy birthday sis.)
((It was bad yesterday and it wasn't even my birthday. Things are just shitty right now even if it's my birthday.
People said Happy Birthday yesterday in case they didn't see me today, I think...maybe.))
((Wowwwwwwww that's depressing, thanks Mayday.
Bye sis *hugs her tightly* thank you.))
Tell me everything that happened,
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights inside their eyes
They had lights inside their eyes
Did you see the closing window?
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward, my heart died
They moved forward, my heart died
Please, please tell me what they look like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew...
(-hugs her tightly back-
Mayday...?)
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
*softly hugs Mayday*
Hello, Blogland!
Silente, Soph is right. You are such a great person and you can't see it so you'll have to trust us to keep reminding you of it *cuddlehuggles*
*has to go*
*may have nearly spoiled SHIELD for Derek* *made a nice save at 5:55am* *feels proud*
*poofs to go to Hell*
-Zaf
*pokes head in and looks around*
*sees that the last comment was hours ago*
...
Sil, though I doubt you're still on, can I have the dedication rights?
*has waited long enough*
*takes dedication rights*
I'm sorry, I know that's mean. I don't know when Sil will be back and I had something I want to dedicate to... And as an older bloglandian, I want to keep the tradition going... We used to give our dedications away if we didn't want them.
*continues to the dedication*
I dedicate this page to Mayday Parade. Even though I haven't talked to you, I feel you deserve a dedication, and I'm sorry that I'm not the best person to give it to you... *hugs*
I also want to dedicate to Silente Tempest because even though I don't know her well, she's still been kind to me, and I think she's awesome. *hugs* Thank you.
That, and because I'm sorry for stealing the dedication...
*goes to hide now*
(Hear hear!)
*smiles at Tia*
Thanks, but I still feel bad for not waiting for Sil's answer...
How are you today?
Better than average.
How are you?
Good to hear that. :)
I'm...
*thinks*
I'm good. Mostly.
:P
I've been reading a few of Derek's old blog post.
Seems like he used to come by often. And some of the very first posts only had 20-50 comments!
We'll have a lot of room if we ever have to go back that far.
Ah, correction.
20-100 actually. But some of those comments were us from the more recent years...
(-reading back- yes you can have the dedic- -she's already taken it- oh. Well...hear hear for the FIRST part of the ded.)
Uh, hey, Sil.
*nervously chuckles, becomes sincere*
Sorry I didn't wait for you...
*and hugs Sil because she IS awesome*
*is laughing at the first time the comments reached 5,000*
Poor Derek, now we do it all the time.
XP
(its fine. -isn't awesome but hugs back-
How are you today, Sil?
*wifi is being weird again, so is adding this comment to see if the page loads better*
*hugs the AMAZING SILENTE TEMPEST (aka Jaimie)*
*hugs Lavender*
*hugs Mayday*
*hugs Chi*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Nope... Huh.
*shrugs*
Well as long as it still works...
Hi Dug!
*hugs back*
(-isn't amazing dug-)
*pokes Sil*
Other than not being amazing, then, how is you? You never answered.
And while I'm at it, how're you, Dug?
*sighs*
Gotta go soon, it's getting late...
But I'll be on a little longer.
(bored, physics. You?)
I'm good. A little tired though.
Heya, Kal!
Haha, yeah, it's almost midnight over here! :P
Hello everyone!
*hugs*
...
The blog looks really strange right now because, for some odd reason, the wifi's not strong enough to load it properly...
*hopes it won't be like that tomorrow*
I might be a little distant, will probably be sharing this laptop with my boyfriend.
But I am sort of around.
Nice timing, Octa! ;P And hello!
Actually, I have to wake up early every day... Like, five thirty in the morning.
(@Kall of course you're a friend!
However you're also wrong..)
I am pretty good :)
Slept in a fair bit after the ball.
It's good to see you too, Kal. :)
But now I has to sleep.
Goodnight everyone!
(Clever??)
I'm sorry something unpleasant has come up.
Hope things get better soon.
*hugs*
Night Lavender!
(-can't deny she's clever unfortunately-)
*tacklehugs Sil* You amazing yuus
(Ahhh! -is tacklehugged- Nuh! Clever doesn't equal amazing!)
Soy sauce, the ' Not here' part on my comment must have been deleted.
But now I'm here!
So...
Hi Lavender I'm gooda!
Hi Kallista!
Hi Octa!
Hi Sil! (Yes you are amazing!!!)
How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!
Hi Tia! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!
(Hey Dug! -isn't amazing- I'm okay! My eyes are too. How's you and your eyes? Have you read the dugilente on my stories blog yet?)
-you are amazing-
I'm good and my eyes are good!
Yep!
(-isnt amazing- did you like it?)
