Book trailers are a tricky thing. When they're done badly, they're a little cringey and vaguely embarrassing. But when they're done right, they're AWESOME.
And because we have the incomparable Mr Tom Percival working on our trailers, we pretty much fit into the awesome category every single time.
I love the fact that it's time to release this. We have other stuff yet to be released/announced, such as what EXACTLY the Theatre of Shadows is and how it can involve everyone around the world. We're always trying to find ways to include our far-flung readers in the fun, and I think we've come up with something special.
But enough from me... Behold the awesome.

*leaves*
*looks around for Elleni*
*Looks at bandages*
You refused treatment, didn't you?
*looks at the time*
I should go. Don't let Viv die.
*leaves ripping the bandages off as soon as she's out of the hospital and uses a portal to get home to her vault*
*locks herself in her cage*
Gtg now. See y'all real soon.
**after looks at the time put "Oh look at time!"
*sighs*
Good night...
(Bye :3)
Why are people still over here?
Idk :P
*gasps and sits up in bed*
Aw, thanks Elleni!
Thanks soooo much for telling about the new post
*grumbles about being on the old one ALL DAY*
New post
I'm hyperventilating.....
THAT WAS AMAZING
Everyone here?
*also steps out of the cupboard, his eyes still completely black* I wouldn't call us friends. *smirks slightly*
(I reckon so...)
Forced allies with conflicting interests just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?
I'm here...
I suppose it doesn't.
Loki!
*She hugged him tightly*
Hey!
(here)
*frowns at trip and Alastair, the darkness coiling round her in irritation*
Okay, why are you two here.
*his eyes slowly fade back to a dark brown* I'm here mainly out of boredom. The two of you seem at least mildly interesting.
Trip?
Oh thank you.
But Silente, Alastair was wondering what happened to you to cause... This.
Sorry, I got distracted by the Internet.
*decides she can't be bother being in this stupid air bubble anymore*
*taps a sigil on the back of the neck, reducing the density of the air around her so its no longer capable of holding her*
*lands easily and turns the sigil off*
*glares at Silente*
Do you have a sigil for every single one of my attacks?
Rose...*laughs*
Zanida: *pokes Alastair* Hi!
*makes a conscious effort not to roll his eyes* Yes, vampire, I'm very interested to know how this happened.
*blinks at Zanida* How did you make your way here?
is this where we are??
(Yup)
(World domination XD cute pic)
Zanida: The Bifrost, Heimdall can see you.
*smiles at El*
That'd be telling.
*looks at Alastair*
You're a big boy. I'm sure you can work it out yourself.
(who's read TDOTL?? I just read 26 and )
(soz bout how long I took to reply BTW. My internet is objecting to me being up so early.)
*experimentally attempts to enter the vampire's mind, looking through her memories*
(Shhhh!)
*turns to Alastair, half expecting him to figure it out*
*frowns when a headache forms above her brow*
Out. Now.
(hey, i'm not saying anything. just where i've read to.)
*his smirk broadens, and he presses deeper into her memories, looking for what happened to her*
Out of where?
OUT NOW!
*the darkness coils tightly around her like a wound spring or a waiting snake*
*tiny stings in her wing begin to pop up to distract her*
*in her being
*ignores the pain*
*starts bombarding Alastair with other memories, none that involve her secrets, more along the lines of what happened when she was sold as an item in her earlier years*
*the smirk spreads into a grin, as he only searches more forcefully*
((I know I finished...-Zag
*can rather easily sort through those, and knows well the difference between things she wants him to see and things he's looking for*
Zanida: Alastair!!!! Stop!!!
Please Zanida, we're trying to help Silente.
*winces*
GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!
*throws more and more memories at him*
*torture sessions*
*being on the run*
*pain pain pain*
*each family member that was killed in front of her*
*every sordid detail of the night she was changed*
Zanida: Help, her? Why would you help her by sorting through her mind?
fwibrekajlwdfnq3aweilgydhbq3ewaiugfjkd
(Sorry... Class... It sucks!)
*She poked him in the chest, hiding her grin*
What are you laughing about, Mister? Are you being mean? You better not be...
Snow email me.-Zaf
I am being well behaved.
Are you sure about that...? Then why did you laugh, you evil tall thing...?
can't, in school, will type in the spoiler zone.
*goes through them all, adoring her pain* *starts to laugh as she keeps going, feeding off of her desperate attempts to keep him back, and continues to look*
Alastair...
*still looking through the vampire's mind, grinning* Yes, Elleni?
Please stop...
Beg somewhere else. I'm curious now.
Alastair!
I am an evil tall thing.
Yes you are Loki. You are a thing.
I know you are… Why did I say it otherwise…?
I love you, Rose.
Zanida: Alastair, what are you doing to her though?
*She grinned*
Me too. I love me too. I’m awesome that way.
I'm only looking through her mind. *smirks* She doesn't like it, do you, vampire?
You're not even looking for what happened, you're just putting her through pain. Stop it.
(Gtg. Bbs)
Putting her through pain is only an added benefit. And, believe me, I haven't done anything yet.
You don't know me as you should, Elleni- I've never properly introduced myself to you. I am not kind, or just, except when it benefits me. Humans are, by nature, selfish creatures, and sadistic. Of course, most of us suppress those parts of ourselves that wouldn't please others. I don't.
Rose....*laughs*
Zanida: I want to know, what you are really doing?
Because it would be chaos if everyone did. I don't feel that way.
My golly gosh. Someone is in an awfully happy mood today. Did Thor die?
What's wrong with chaos?
No, he is alive.
Zanida: You like to...do things we wouldn't. You let your darker side break through, yes?
That was a joke, Loki. You know, something to make you laugh again… Because you have a nice laugh.
There are no sides- I'm just openly selfish. I might be pleasant when it suits me, but I don't bind myself to other people's standards.
((Arnold hasn't commented in a bit...))
Zanida: I don't see how you mean that you don't have sides.
*laughs* I do not understand what I ought to do...
I'm not split into halves of a person. I don't like to myself or pretend to be anyone I'm not. I am simply what I am. Simply because I may be cruel in one situation and compassionate in another does not mean I exist in pieces. It means I, as a single being, am capable of feeling a variety of different emotions, and I've accepted them all as part of myself. You speak of sides because you'd like to believe the instincts you have that you don't like are separate from you.
-I walk into Blogland, stumbling against a rock, beaten up, badly-
How about a kiss?
*She looped her arms around the back of his neck and grinned*
Kiss me. That is what you should do.
-I observe Alastair and Loki, breathing deeply-
(If you guys happen to be in another dimension/timeline, ignore what I just said)
*She saw Caelan and pulled away*
Actually, love, hold that thought.
*She ran over to him, supporting his weight easily on her shoulders*
Hey, you alright...?
(I think we're current now.)
((This is the present, but we're in different locations. Zanida, Elleni and I are inside Elleni's house. Loki and Death, I understand, are elsewhere.))
Zanida: The mages, they do. I don't. You know, I understand that the things I do, good or bad, are me. We of Asgard have accepted this.
*silently watches*
No, not exactly.
I just need a moment, could you take me to the lake?
(Alastair, you can call me Rose if you want.)
*She helped Caelan to the lake and sat him down on a large, smooth stone. She looked over at Loki and nodded him over*
-I stumble forwards, reaching into the water-
-The water begins churning, sliding up my arm, travelling over my body, healing my wounds-
No, Zanida, clearly, you haven't, because you needed me to explain why there aren't sides.
*She frowned, watching Caelan and the water*
What the...?
-I dip my hair into the water, washing it, wavering my hand over it, elementally drawing the water out-
Zanida: I did not think of it like you, but...very well. Alastair, can you...show me what that part of me you had taken would experience?
I believe I need to wander away now.
CAELAN
ARE YOU THE ACTUAL CAELAN
LIKE FROM THE BOOK
CUZ DEREK SAID IN AN INTERVIEW
THAT CAELAN THE VAMPIRE WAS BASED OFF OF A REAL FAN
Haha, no, but I wish I was.
*A soft laugh escaped her lips as she watched. Then she looked over at Loki and frowned*
I'll be back in one moment, Caelan. I think Loki needs a little convincing.
*She made her way over to Loki and took his face in her hands, bringing it close to hers*
I love you... Will you kiss me?
Oh. Well hi. I've never like, talked to you before. I've watched you OvO but not talked.
So Hi.
*kisses Rose back, gently*
-I stand up, cold-
-I blow into my hands, exhaling fire-
I hated Caelan. Then again, I laugh at myself...Derek pretty much got my personality. God...that's funny.-Zaf
Elleni, I'm sure you've talked to me before. I'm merely just notorious for changing my name way too much.
*She kissed him a little harder, her hands locking in his hair*
*laughs, as they deepen the kiss*
No, Zanida. The part of you that I stole is mine now, even if you've kept it in your current timeline.
*She grinned under the kiss and pulled herself tightly against him*
WHAT
WHO ARE YOU
UHHHH
IDK
Zanida: Oh. Alright. So, what are your plans? I mean...why are you well were you helping Silente?
I know...I know..
You know what, love...?
*She grinned at him before she reluctantly pulled away*
WHO IS HE
-I stand around, looking at the water-
I just want to know what's happened to her, what she's become, and why. Curiosity.
Zanida: Silente interests me. I have not seen a vampire until I met her! Alas! Have you ever tried shunting to Asgard? Thor and Loki believe you could.,,
Come here....*reaches for her*
I'm certain I could. But why would I want to?
-I look at Alastair-
You wouldn't want to.
*She grinned and allowed herself to be taken by him*
Zanida: I do not know, we were discussing the idea when you were thinking of killing me. Is it true you time travel?
Obviously, or you wouldn't have begged me for weeks to stop myself from stealing your name. Why are you asking questions you already know the answers to?
*glances at Caelan* What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Zanida: I had a strange day, did you know that I had my head cut open? Yeah, I did. *Alastair can see something on Zanida's arm, the mark of the damned, showing her status as a Prince of Hell*
*kisses her hard*
Pouring through the memories of a vampire, and being questioned for it. What motivation do you have for appearing in the house of an apparent stranger?
*She giggled and kissed him back as hard as she could, her hands trailing over his chest*
Boredom.
But there doesn't appear to be anything interesting or impressive here, so I may as well leave.
Rose....behave. *laughs* We need a wedding date.
*She growled at him playfully*
I don’t have to behave… And we can talk about the wedding a little later… Or shall we save this for later…?
Very well we can...do this
*sighs* My thoughts exactly. Now the vampire's gone... *vanishes*
Good boy.
*She kissed him again, softly, her hands exploring his shoulders*
Zanida: Stupid, Alastair. Your life will become fun to play with, you think you know pain....*laughs* You have no idea what a demon can do.
-I move towards Rose and Loki again-
Get a room, guys.
Rose....I have...oh my god...Rose my sister is a demon.
I love my guest pastor.
"You know how they're always like, 'You know he loves you when he hugs you from the back.' He doesn't love you!! Boyfriends don't do that! That's what a kidnapper does!"
Caelan, who were you??
*She smirked at Caelan and the tensed as Loki spoke*
What…?
Zanida is a Prince of Hell, like Lucifer. She....just....she kept thoughts from me, she just let me see....
Are we here?! And we're we on another page before this?!
(Isn't supposed to be here...
Homework and catching up on comments...)
-I sigh, sitting at the water, focusing-
Oh my God... Loki...
*She hugged him tightly, hiding her face in his chest*
I'm so sorry...
I cannot do anything about this...
I'm sorry, love...
YES HI DUGG
(I think I just offended my German Geography teacher...)
Hello.
Do not be...
Zanida: Hi!!
-I look at the water, bringing waves in-
AMY
*supermegatacklehugofdoomvils* HI
*noms on her face*
It's been such a long time since I nommed.
*noms everyone's faces*
I depart. I need sleep.-Zaf
-I stand up, walking towards Rose-
So, what's new?
HI!!!!
Soy sauce for distance...
I made a rule that I will catch up on all comments before I comment but I'm also supposed to be doing homework so....
Pie....!
(Bye Loki!)
*She smiled softly at Caelan*
Nothing much... Other than becoming a goddess and princess-to-be and finance...
I see.
What about you? What's new with you?
(Before I depart....
Elleni, I love the drawing!
And Amy, I think at one point (a long time ago) I gave you a rare special pure crystal to bring you back. (It will unrot your body too..) so just put it in a drink and drowning ink it!)
Ok good
*whew*
I've now got the major ability of mass elemental control, so that's cool..
That is cool.
*She sat beside his feet and grinned up at him*
Show me.
Ouuuu...except I don't remember where my body is...
(Ohh... Silence...)
Show you? Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure! Go ahead!
Alright.
-I close my eyes, slowly moving my hands, the clouds in the sky slowly spiralling to meet the water in the lake, slowly growing-
-I stomp the ground, allowing large pieces of the ground around us to be sent towards the forming tornado-
-I clasp my hands together, forming a large collection of fire, hurling it towards the tornado, as it becomes part of it-
*She laughed in shock and hugged Caelan's leg*
Oh my God!! That's awesome!!
*She stared at the tornado in amazement*
-I look at the tornado, moving it towards us-
*She shuffled backwards slightly, letting go of his leg*
What are you doing?!
It's okay, Rose.
My magic will not affect me, or anyone I don't want it to affect.
-I hold Rose by the waist, the magical sheen protecting me now protecting her, as I move the tornado directly above us, a beautiful spiral of all four elements around us-
*She held herself closely to Caelan peeking up. She gasped at the beauty of it, pointing up*
Caelan! It's amazing!!
-I chuckle-
Yeah, it is beautiful.
-I raise my hands up, then quickly bringing them down, the tornado immediately collapsing into a heap of colourful mist, dissipating-
(Hello. *sighs*)
*She laughed and hugged Caelan tightlyI
My god... That was cool...
-I hug Rose back, smiling-
Sometimes the aesthetics of magic can blow out its practical abilities out of the water.
Literally.
(Hey Sophia!)
*She grinned up at him, keeping her arms tightly around him, and nodded*
I... I've never seen anything like that before... That was... Wow...
What else can you do...?
(I do not know why Dragona woke up at 3:54 in the morning but I am not impressed.)
(Poor Dragona. Only I wake up at unreasonable hours.)
(So what's happening with the RP?)
(Caelan is showing Rose what abilities he has)
(I think I might need to finish SP before I go back on Tumblr... That you, spoilers...)
*Damn you
(Hello...?)
(Sorry, I'm being a teenage boy and I'm playing Call of Duty. Shameful, I know.)
I'm not sure what I'm able to do aside from.. that, and basic elemental properties.
I was told that, if I was in a deep meditative trance, I would be able to reach out and obtain new abilities, but I have not been able to achieve that.
(Tsk tsk, even I, a teenage girl, has passed that stage in my life.
*Totes wasn't playing CoD this morning...*)
Well Caelan, that is really cool. Like, insane kind of cool.
*She hugged him tightly, grinning up at him*
Thanks, Rose.
-The sun is setting, and the stars begin to shine, one by one-
Tell me, Rose, what constellation do you descend from?
Horoscope-wise.
The Twins. Gemini. You?
*She smiled up at the stars, trying to pick out a familiar constellation*
I don't belong to that of a constellation, but rather a nebula.
A nebula...? Why a nebula...?
Well, I wasn't born on Earth.
I was born in another sector of space, on the planet Tyrac.
Here, we were given nebulae instead of constellations.
(I dedicate this page to stars.
Because they're quite lovely.)
Can we see your nebula from here?
And why do I find myself surrounded by aliens? Not that I mind, but it's odd.
No, we'd have to travel to Tyrac to observe my nebula.
And, what do you mean, "surrounded by aliens"?
Aw, bummer... Is it a nice nebula? Describe it to me.
*She laughed and leaned into his chest, her eyes still on the stars*
Loki, his sister, Thor and the rest of the Asgardians are from space. They're technically aliens... And now I've had to add you to that list!
Hello.
