The Black Edition

Ladies and gentlemen, for those who haven't heard, head over to the Waterstones site for a very special special edition announcement...

http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2014/08/the-dying-of-the-light-black-edition/#more-59340

This is something I've had in mind for years — a super supreme limited edition of only 1000 copies— the Black Edition. Those lucky few who have managed to get your hands on a proof copy of the first book should recognise the design we're echoing, bringing the whole thing full circle...

We're working with Waterstones on this, and so the Black Edition will only be available in their shops. You won't be able to preorder these. You won't be able to reserve one online or in person. Not even Waterstones STAFF can preorder these for THEMSELVES! On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go hunting for them.

We already have 5000 copies of a Special Edition that comes signed, with that stunning cover, but the Black Edition will NOT be signed, and there will be a ONE PER PERSON policy. Basically, we're torturing you. We're making you choose.

The fact is, because there will only be 1000 printed, and so each store will only get a limited amount of copies, the chances of YOU, individual Minion, managing to snag one is pretty low. Because there is no way to guarantee that you get one, you're just going to have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Oh, and you should also check Twitter that day, because the stores will be tweeting how many copies they've got left. Until they tweet, there is no way of telling how many copies a particular store will have received.

Ooooh I can't wait to get mine....

Zanids: *lunges at Blake, her lance on fire, aimed at his throat* ((No killing her, you can injure her.))


Rose...wake....please...*kisses her

Jophiel said...

*She was just about the enter the light when it vanished. She reached out and hit a wall. She started to slam her fists against it. Something started to tug her backwards. It was gentle at first, but quickly turned violent. It dragged her backwards with urgency. She started to cry as the body in Loki's arms trembled*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose please...

Astrid: *heals Silente*

John said...

*He catches the lance in his left hand, chains protecting him from the majority of the fire as he ignores the rest. He forces her to the ground, grabbing hold of her other hand as well and pinning her down*

Are you a fool?! Attack me again and you won't live to regret it. Now go to your cowardly excuse for a brother and tell him to retreat before I run out of cannon fodder over here.

*Get stands, grabbing his sword from the ground and walking back towards the few remaining giants*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*uses the energy Astrid is using to heal her on Rose instead*
*shes been order to heal rose*
*she must do that first before all else*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *stands, summoning an ice shard and jumping on Blake, slamming the shard to his neck, her speeds faster then anyone normal*

John said...

*He stops, his face contorting in cold rage*

What did I just say?

*The wound heals in an instant, pushing the shard out as an explosion of light erupts from Blake, covering an area wide enough to catch the remaining giants around him*

Jophiel said...

*The body trembled again as the dark faded, replaced by a man holding her and two women leaning over*
You're one damn ugly thing to wake up to in the morning, Loki.
*She smirked and cried out in pain as she moved her neck*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: You killed my mother, I'll kill you!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*pours the last of the energy she can into rose's neck*
*collapses backwards into a very dead looking heap, except for the faint rise and fall of her chest*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Astrid: *heals Silente, then works on Rose*

I rather hear you say I'm beautiful, but I will take ugly.

John said...

Casualties are to be expected in battle, the only one to blame is your brother for starting all this.

*He flies at Zanida as naught but a streak of light, slamming into her middle and forcing her face into the ground as the rocket onward*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*wakes up shakily*
*smiles weakly at Astrid before getting to her feet, figuring Loki and Rose won't want her around, and starts walking away*

John said...

(They*

Is my spelling horrible tonight or what?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *the impact hurts, but her armor protects her bones* *tries to get back up, wanting to kill Blake*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(what time do you think the sun rise will be? Might watch it if I forget to sleep...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((I'm half awake so no worries.-Zaf

John said...

*He pulls up, hurling Zanida high into the air. As She reaches the peak of her flight he flies above and below her and unbelievable speeds, leaving a trail of light behind him. He stops outside the two gigantic magic circles he's drawn and claps his hands together*

Sanctior, catenis iudicium.

*Hundreds of chains fly from each circle, wrapping around Zanida tightly and forming a thick pillar around her*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Around quarter to 6am, Sil. -Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(That's only in 1 and a half hours! May as well stay up and watch it! If I figure out which way is east...)
(And that sounds like a very stupid thing for a brain to do. 'How do we inform the human it must sleep?' "I don't know" 'In which case let's just not!' "hazar problem solved!" 'jolly good!' "indeed")

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *thrashes, trying to get free of the chains* WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE JUST PUT ME DOWN!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(so only like 2 hours or so? Hmm... Sunrises are pretty....might stay up to watch it.)

Jophiel said...

I was joking. Loki, I'll give it to your father, he has one good swing...
*Semhe cradled her neck and winced*
Shit...

Jophiel said...

**She

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I cant! I'm not tired! I'm buzzin! But, you know, natural buzz. I'm not high)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Astrid: Rose, I can take you back to Asgard and let the healers heal you.

John said...

It is out of my hands now, these chains shall be your judge and jury.

(The chains judge a person's acts of good and evil throughout their life and deal damage according to what kind of person they hold, the more evil they have done the greater the damage will be. Since Zaffy knows Zanida far better than us she can decide.)

Jophiel said...

No... I'm fine... Just a shattered thingy in my neck... I'll be fine as long as I don't move my neck, but thanks, Astrid.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I am pretending. My head is on the pillow and everything.)

John said...

(I imagine I'd be dead.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Eers...well..:*isnt very creative currently* I can say that she's been good all the way up until a thousand years ago when she and Loki tried to take over Asgard...since then she'd been evil-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sil would be dead. She'd be teeny tiny little pieces.)

John said...

(Well, not really now that I think about it. Blake has done some terrible things, sure. But he did most of them for the sake of others. He doesn't fight to be evil, he fights because he enjoys it and always helps his opponent after the battle (unless it was something serious). While in the paladin order he followed directions and helped a lot of people. As his author I don't see Blake as a bad guy at all.
-J)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*carries Rose back to the house, laying her gently on the couch*

John said...

(Well Zaff, the only thing I'll tell you is the judgement is harsh. It doesn't have any emotion, only cold logic and absolute laws.)

Jophiel said...

*She winced as her head hit the cushions. She took Loki's hand tightly in hers*
I'm sorry... He was hurting my friends... I thought I could take it... I'm so sorry, Loki...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(That's quite a funny mental image. The chains just tightening on Sil slowly, oh so slowly, digging into her flesh until it rips, coating the chains in blood and shredding the struggling girl into chunks...

Hmm. I may be a bit sleep deprived because I'm nearly laughing at that...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Lovely. I don't know, I have no clue anymore, I'm lucky I can tell you what my name is today. Uh....I dunno what to count her as. I mean she's damned to Hell...-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am only concerned for your safety, Rose. Laufey knew what he was doing, I let them on Midgard...*kisses her hand* I had to.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Why would my arms need rest?! They're fine. Except for that nerve I keep leaning on. Then my arm goes numb. But otherwise fine! And I'm here yes but im also laid in bed so...MY EYES CLOSE WHEN THEY BLINK! SO HA!)

Jophiel said...

*She pulled him to her so he was laying beside her*
I didn't want them hurt... I tired to ignore it... Laufey definitely is your father, though... If the Jotun form didn't get me, that damned swing did... Ow...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(i should write something right now. Or paint. I wanna be creative...I wanna write out the chains being Sil's end.....hmmm...nah. CBA)

John said...

(If she's damned to hell I'd call that pretty bad. And if you're not going to make the decision then I guess I will, sorry if it's not what you would have thought.)

*The chains contract and a jolt of power rushes in from either end, squeezing and shocking Zanida at the same time with enough power to compress coal to diamond and then crack said diamond*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(CBA=Can't Be A**ed)

Jophiel said...

My employer will be furious at me, though, Loki. I wasn't supposed to die... I'm never supposed to die... Especially with all that money he's offering me... God.
*She sighed and rolled her eyes*
I hope I didn't break the damn contract...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Just don't kill her...Blah. Now I have an idea oh well....


Zanida: *screams, trying to block out the pain, but can't

John said...

(Y'see, I would use something like CBB: Can Be Bothered.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

What...employer...? You...were....employed?!

Jophiel said...

*She shrugged and cried out in pain*
Ow! Yes. I was. Really mean guy, too. I needed the money.

John said...

*His eyes widen slightly and he tries to pull his hands apart, straining against his own magic. After resorting to blasting himself with crosses his hands finally come free of each other and the spell fades*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Okay because it is four o'clock and I'm fairly certain if I don't leave El is going to do some weird magic to destroy my internet, I will now leave! If I fail to sleep I shall be back! See y'all real soon!)

Jophiel said...

Actually, I think I should say 'am'.

John said...

(Bye, Sil..?)

Jophiel said...

(Toodles Sil)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose....I hope to god you did not trick me.


Zanida: *is out cold, probably with many broken bones*

Jophiel said...

So what if I am, Loki? What if I was employed. SHIELD needed you and your family out of the picture, and they couldn't tell Thor because he was a liability. Tony was fully aware.
*She trailed her fingers along his face*
I'm sorry... Fury didn't think it would go this far..

John said...

*He floats gently to the ground, a small burst of light marking the end of his transformation*

Not sure if you can hear me, but live a better life from now on. Get away from Loki, maybe spend some time with your husband, maybe even some time with us here in Bogland. You're not a bad person, Zanida, let everyone know it.

*He turns and walk away, healing his battered hands*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You lied to me. *backs away from* I should kill you, Rose. I should kill your friends, slowly and painfully, and make you watch them all die. You better give me a good reason not to follow through on that plan, Rose.

Jophiel said...

*She pursed her lips, eyeing him*
I don't have a valid reason. Go ahead.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Do you actually love me? You..,know I care for you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to Roki, because if you end that Rose....I'll end up being done with rping because this os now the second thing someone ended on my characters.

-Zaf

Jophiel said...

I don't know... Maybe...
*She struggled up, one hand on the back of her neck*
I knew you cared for me... I just didn't know how well I could keep this lie up... I lied to the God of Mischief... Kill me if you must, all the data has already been sent away.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(....it didn't work.)

Jophiel said...

(Sil, you'll hit one pm and crash.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to let you live with what you did. You have two children are you saying you'll leave them because you lied to me?!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(i know I am..but I've been awake so long my brain has forgotten what sleep is.)

Jophiel said...

Perhaps I will. Or perhaps I'll admit to their father that I am an amazing liar and I do love him with all of my heart.
*She grinned up at him*
LOKI'D!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@death I doubt that. I can't sleep when its light.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Next time you plan to trick me, do it in the morning :P))

*stares* I cannot believe that.

Jophiel said...

(Rightyo, Zaffio!)

*She kissed his nose*
I love you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I love you too, even if you somehow manage to trick me.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Roki Doki <3)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Loki: Next time you could vanish me with a weapon, my dagger or something. *pauses as Thor gets something* Finally a little common sen....se...*holds up handcuffed hands*

Thor: What, I thought you liked tricks?

Jophiel said...

I got you good. I got you so damn good. I'm sorry. I saw my chance and took it.
*She pursed her lips as one very dangerous thought flit through her mind*
He doesn't know.
*She opened her arms to him*
Can I have a Loki cuddle?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Of course. *lays beside her, and cuddles with her, careful of her neck*

Jophiel said...

(I love that part!)

*She pressed her face against his chest and ran her hands along his back. She didn't want him to see her face. If he did, he probably would be able to guess that thought*
Good boy.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I love you...stay close to me.

Jophiel said...

*There was hesitation in her voice when she spoke*
I-I will... I love you too...

Jophiel said...

Jophiel said...

(Goodnight, love.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good...*kisses cheek*

((Trying to get rid of me? I'm staying another 20 minutes.))

Jophiel said...

(I thought you had left...)

*She laughed softly and ran her hands through his hair*
You're beautiful.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You are too, Rose. *kisses cheek* You are brave, notmany would charge at Laufey.


((Ah its fine, we were watching Thor and it was the big fight on the bridge.))

Jophiel said...

Well... I've taken on worse. He was like Loki Jr compared to some of the fights that I've been in.
*She pulled his face to hers and kissed him quickly*

(Sometimes I wonder if your TV is on repeat of Thor and Thor 2 and the Avengers...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*he kissed her back, happy she is actually alive*

((The past two weeks there was very little choice, my nephew wanted to watch them, and so the one who got him into it was voted to watch, but tonight Mom wanted to watch Thor since she never got to. ))

Jophiel said...

Thank you for not giving up on... I'm sorry...
*She rested her head against his chest again*

(Your nephew has good taste.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((He does! He was like: O.O through it all.-Zaf))


I never could give up on you, Rose. You are my queen.

Jophiel said...

(I like this nephew of yours!)

I... I think you could give up on me...
*She looked up at him, remembering something from the fight*
When Laufey was coming for me that first time... You called me your wife...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I was in shock, also I sort of lied to him and said you were my wife, so he would not question why I wished you safe.

Jophiel said...

*She nodded*
Makes sense. And the whole dying thing... I guess I had that coming...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Taylor was funny. We were outside and she said she was Hulk, so I was Loki and Trevor Thor so I get chased by Tayloe, who is less then half my size and she growls and in this manly voice that so isnt her goes; DON'T COME BACK! -Zaf

Jophiel said...

(Aw!!!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*smirks* Most likely you did.

((It was cute!!))


Zanida; *goes to Thor, barely making it to him*

Jophiel said...

(I think I would have died from cuteness overload...)

*She put her hands on his lips and pushed the corners up into a smile*
Enough of that smirk... I'll have to kiss it off next time... And I'll make sure it never returns...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((So its midnight and I gotta be up for church tomorrow, and might be awake early from stuff so I shall try to sleep, and hope my sleepless night yesterday is over.-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Evil girl...*smiles on his own*

((Now good night! *huggles Rose* I'll try to come on before I have to get up.))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((If I don't come on dont take it wrongly, I probably had a migraine.))

Jophiel said...

(Okay, goodnight Zaf!)

(*Really has to eat something seeing as it is 2pm and she hasn't eaten anything all day*)

(*Also really needs to start on her projects*)

Jophiel said...

(*Huggles Zaf back*
Okay! Don't if you aren't feeling well, though... See ya tomorrow!)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello?

Jophiel said...

(Hey Ameh!)

Jophiel said...

*She pulled herself away from Loki's sleeping form, keeping her head in the same position it had been since her vertebrae shattered, and picked up her phone. She dialed a number and called*
Hello... No, it was unsuccessful. I had to take drastic measures... No! No. I know. I've got to do something about them.... Yeah, I joked about it to see his reaction and he just about flipped. I can't come clean yet... Tell them to wait. One more day? I've got to-
*She paused, listening to the person on the other side of the line*
But that's the thing. I think I do. I know you told me not to do it, but it happened... I know, Director. I shouldn't have. It was wrong, but I refuse. No! No! I'll... I'll do it. But the twins? ... God. I can't do that! I can't kill them... No! Agent Coulson will not touch my children. Loki will refuse.
*Her face became one of horror*
So you see me as a threat, now, Director? Well, ain't that something. I died today. I can take on SHIELD.
*Her body froze and she looked at Loki, her jaw dropping slightly*
Turn myself in or my whole family gets executed...? I'll... I'll go. I'll turn myself in.
*She hung up the phone and continued to stare at Loki*

Jophiel said...

*She wrote the Asgardians a letter and hung it up on the inside of their front door*
I'm sorry everyone. I wasn't lying about working for SHIELD, but... I did actually develop feelings for Loki. I was asked about working for them when I returned from Asgard that first date. They contacted me. They wanted Loki brought in.
I wasn't sure of my feelings for him so I accepted. I told Fury that I wouldn't find a problem in it. I thought that it would be easy...
But then I actually fell in love with Loki.
I forgot all about my deal until today. I'm so sorry for putting you all in danger.
They contacted me today. Stark had told them that we'd taken the reactor. He knew that I was working undercover. That's why he didn't actually hurt me. He pretended not to know for show.
They called because they knew that we were trying to invade. They asked me if it worked and I told them the truth.
Then I told him that I did fall in love with Loki and he flipped. He was going to send Coulson over to take the twins. And then they were going to get all of you... And kill you... Even Thor.
And the only way to stop that was to hand myself over.
Don't come after me, okay?

I'm so sorry for putting you through this.

I'm so sorry for lying...

I didn't mean to keep this from you all. Thank you for standing by me.

Rose

Jophiel said...

*She stared at the letter for a moment before she tore it down and threw it away towards the sofa. If they tried, they'd find it.
She walked into the twins' room and kissed both of them softly on the forehead before she left.
*Tears pooled in her eyes and she wiped them away. She had to turn herself in. They'd all die otherwise, and she loved them too much to let them. It was a true show of her love, she figured, that she was willing to leave them all to save them from what she had done*

Jophiel said...

*Before she had set foot within five kilometers of the SHIELD Headquarters, guards had already surrounded her and got her wrists in handcuffs. They were her special handcuffs. They were bound. She greeted the few guards she knew, Agent Larry Gregori, a tall man with slumped shoulders and a constant frown, Agent Saunders, shorter than Gregori, with no hair and had a slight limp, and her personal favourite, Special Agent Flynn Westen. He was always the one to hit her first.
*She looked around, laughing at the scene they had created. A group of nearly twenty people surrounded her, all escorting her. There were even people on the roof*
So... How is everyone? It's been a while. Haven't seen some of you before. You the young blood?
*There were muffled 'no's and someone swore at her. She smiled in the swearer's direction and nodded as she walked. She didn't speak again until she was inside the Headquarters*

Jophiel said...

(Weeping Angels aren't too bad. It's the Silence that I'm scared of. And the Oods...)

Dragona Pine said...

(The Silence was a good idea, badly executed - they could have done more with them.
And the ood are awesome.



I swear, if we have to fight shield, Leri will have such a good advantage and she won't have to kill anyone.)

*She curled herself into Roland's chest and wrapped her arms around him tightly*
You okay...? How're your wings...? Any better?
*Her hands reached up behind him to play with the ends of his hair*
You were very brave, Roland. Good job.

Emerald Melody said...

*He sighed as he felt her close to him. Still not entirely sure how to respond to her, he felt embarrassed slightly.

He rolled his shoulders and spread his wings carefully. They both extended out fully and stretched cleanly.*

Roland: Thank you. Though I did have some assistance.

*He threw a little smile at Ariana.*

Jophiel said...

*She looked up at him when he sighed and pulled herself away. She tilted her head as she looked at his wings*
They're beautiful...
*She reached out, almost as if in a daze, and stroked them*
Ariana is a little life saver, isn't she? Or a pain saver...
*She smiled at her joke, not taking her eyes from his wings*

(My first name was under something very... Not me...)

*He folded and stretched his wings gently, not wanting to put too much strain on them.

It was only then, he remembered that he had no t-shirt on and all his burns and scars were on show.

He gasped as he stood, frantically looking for where Casha had put his t-shirt.*

Jophiel said...

*She laughed and pulled up a shirt discarded to her side. It hung between two fingers. A blush started to warm her cheeks*
Here.
*Her smile turned into a smirk*
Did you know that girls dig scars? Sit back down and I'll give you your shirt.

(Go Viv!)

Emerald Melody said...

*He frowned as he looked at his t-shirt in her hand. What was she up to?

He sat on the couch, watching her carefully.*

(Ha! Oh my gosh! My charactrr was so not developed!)

Jophiel said...

*She laughed again and sat beside him, passing him his shirt*
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
*She groaned and covered her face with her hands*
Oh my god, I feel so awkward now... Just don't look at me. Please. Oh my god...
*She shook her head, laughing silently behind her hands. Her face was burning*

Jophiel said...

(@Viv, me and this guy, Eden Threatening, we threatened (forgive the pun) to bash someone together the first time we met...)

Emerald Melody said...

*He smirked as he started putting his t-shirt back on.*

Roland: Do not feel embarrassed. I was just unsure what you were going to do with my shirt held to ransom.

Jophiel said...

*She spread her fingers and looked at him*
I can't have a little bit of fun. can I? If you're not sitting, I can't sit on your lap. You have a very comfortable lap, did you know that?
*She moved her fingers together again, hiding*
I can't believe I just said that. I can't believe I just... Oh my god. I'm such an idiot. I'm just going to shut up now.

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland looked at her, he could tell that she was really becoming embarrassed.*

Roland: Please. Do not be so nervous. It makes me uneasy. I prefer you when you are... you.

Jophiel said...

*She pulled her hands away and looked at him, her face was bright red*

I said I was just going to shut up. That's what I'll do.

*She laughed softly and looked away, to the fire. She snuggled against his chest and sighed*

Today is my awkward day. I don't have awkward days, but when I do, it's today. Oh god... This is embarrassing... Sorry...

Emerald Melody said...

*He let her snuggle into him as he sat with his hands on his knees. He wondered if he would ever be able to enjoy her against him.*

Roland: I hate that you have seen my back. It is the worst part of me. And for you to have seen it, it is not pleasant.

Jophiel said...

Your back is perfect. There's nothing wrong with you. They're medals of bravery of wars we fought...

*She leaned over to take off her boot and slid down her sock, revealing a large, angry, puckered scar*

I got that a long time ago. Bad fight. I'm still standing. It's a medal of bravery. You have more than me. You're braver.

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland shook his head as he rubbed the back of his neck.*

Roland: I was not brave. I was held against my will.

*He looked over at the baby swinger to see that Ariana had fallen back asleep. She had her little first in her mouth, she must have been chewing on it when she fell asleep.

He stood then and started pacing slightly.*

Roland: I do not want you to see my scars for there were given to me to show a mark of weakness. I...

Jophiel said...

*She stood up and crossed her arms*

Roland, you're pretty damn brave. You just don't see it. Scars aren't of weakness. Weakness is where you succum to the wounds. Weakness is where you pick at the scabs and refuse to let it close over.
They're scars. They've healed because you let them. You didn't show weakness by picking at them. You showed bravery by letting them heal.

*She huffed and tapped her bare foot on the floor*

Can I tell you a story? One about my past?

*She pulled her hair up into a ponytail and tied it with a band around her wrist*

I was just a tiny little kid, I don't even know how old, but my father... Or, well, the family that took me in after I ran away, he wasn't a nice man. He hated me. I wanted me dead. I was just another mouth he had to feed.
So one night, he came into my room. I was almost asleep. And he pulled a dagger from his coat and plunged it into my stomach.
I was weak because I let it continue. I didn't tell anyone about it. I fixed myself with my sewing kit. He came in the next night and did exactly the same.

*She pulled up her shirt to show him the strange scars across her stomach*

I didn't let them heal. I dwelled on them. It hurt but I didn't cry out.
That. Is weakness.

Emerald Melody said...

*He stopped for the moment to look at her when she tied her hair back. She looked different, she looked stronger.*

Roland: You look... beautiful.

I am sorry you went through that. And thank you for saying I was brave. That does mean a lot to me.

Dragona Pine said...

(Seems I'm back.)

Jophiel said...

I'm not beautiful, Roland. I spent most of my life hating myself for me weaknesses.

*She pursed her lips and looked away, shaking her head slightly*

It was either toughen up or die. And believe me, the second option sounded pretty damn good at times.

(WB Dragona!)

Emerald Melody said...

*He quickly went over and put his hands on her shoulder, turning her back to look at him.*

Roland: Never! say you are not beautiful. You are.

And I do know. Every night I spent on the street, I hoped I never woke up the next day. That some drunk beat me the night before.

I know how you feel.

Jophiel said...

*She looked at him sullenly for a moment before she let her head drop*

I know what I am and what I'm not. I'm not beautiful. I'm a survivor. That's about all I am.

I'm really sorry that you've had to go through that... It sucks... If I could go through all that all over again to make sure it never happened to you in the first place, I would...

Dragona Pine said...

(*watches*)

Emerald Melody said...

Roland: I know you would.

*He cupped her face gently in his hands and kissed her. The kiss then grew passionately as his fingers moved to the base of her neck.*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I an awake! I have yet to regret staying up until half four or so! I have had about 6 hours sleep! How is everyone?)

Jophiel said...

*She looked at him for a moment before she sank into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and played with his hair*

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm fine, Silente. You?)

Jophiel said...

(Hey Temple!
*Tilts head at new nickname*
*Makes a mental note to make a better one later*
I'm good! I'm good! I think I broke my toe today, so yay...
You?)

Jophiel said...

(Dragona! That's my usual line!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I'm good thanks Draggie! Happy! For once! It's quite nice to be happy. I missed it. Whatcha doin?)

Dragona Pine said...

(Nothing really... :P Watching The Bill.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(You broke your toe D: your poor toe! Temple? Well its a new one I'll give you that.)

Jophiel said...

(I think I broke it. It hurts... A lot... And I have to do this weird running sidestep hop thing when I try to run somewhere... It's funny...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*nods at Draggie* I hope you enjoy watching the bill)
(It could just be sprained....or cracked...or bruised....)
(Tetris?! Explain?)

Inky Flame said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Flick! How're you? How's Wolfie?)

Jophiel said...

(Well, it hurts... Poor toe...)
(Tetris because Temple. And because I feel like it.

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Sil, Im great...just hungry. I literally have nothing here for breakfast so im patiently waiting for lunch

Inky Flame said...

Hey Death

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(want me to rp with the water sprite from yesterday?)

Inky Flame said...

(If you want, I don't mind :))

Dragona Pine said...

(I think Leri is fine to RP... But she doesn't fight, so... :P)

Emerald Melody said...

*He pulled away from the kiss, catching his breath.*

Roland: You are beautiful. To me.

*Ariana suddenly cooed and giggled at the two of them.*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(okay!)

*walks through the clearing looking for the water sprite*
*she heard she was wanted*
*hopefully not for arrest*

Inky Flame said...

Christen:*spots Sil* Hi, um...are you Silente?
