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....

(You need to tell Viv...)
*pretend to think about that*
What would I rather be that beautiful...hmmm..
*snuggles closer to Viv*
Yours.
*rests her head on his shoulder, curling against his warmth*
(grr)
*texts viv*
Hey I need to go somewhere, could you watch the twins for me?
*wraps his arms around her*
You already are. And I hope you stay that way.
[@Chi: um...sure, can I bring Sil?]
So do I...
*sighs and closes her eyes*
For as long as I require air.
Do you require air?
*picks her up, letting her stay where she is*
We have a babysitting job.
*sets off towards Chi's house*
Babysitting?
*looks up to see where they are going*
*frowns*
Ah uh Viv no Chi hates me remember bad demon arrow death wife sister no more auntie bad die shoo be gone!
Well she didn't text me to say no yet...
C'mon. The twins like you.
But Chi doesn't!!! I really don't feel like getting scewered today!
Sure.
*opens a portal to Olympus*
*steps through*
*shows Sil his phone*
She said sure.
*arrives at Chi's house*
*opens the door*
*sets Sil down on a couch*
Food brb
Hey guys. Mbd/possibly wbd
Anybody home?
I AMMMMMMMMMM
*walks over to the hunters*
Hello ladies.
*there is a lot of murmering*
*why is she here?*
*didn't she get kicked out?*
*I thought she resigned?*
Khione!
*turns to a girl with long blonde ringlets as she runs towards her*
Abigail!
*runs towards Abi and hugs her tightly*
Abi: where have you been all of these years?! I have missed you so.
I have missed you too.
Abi: You're back into the hunters?
Yes, Lady Artemis invited me back.
Abi: wasn't the reason you left because you were in a relationship?
Yes, I also have two children.
Abi: You have children?! what are they called?!
They're twins. Lira and Lucas.
Abi: Oh, human names then. Is your...partner...human?
No. My husband is an archangel.
Abi: AN ARCHANGEL?! THERE ARE SUCH BEINGS?!
Yes.
Abi: he must be beautiful then...
He is, Abi.
((A very violent archangel))
(Back.)
((Back))
(Hey Vivanus.
Everyone seems to be quiet.)
((Ikr))
(No idea where they've gone.)
Hey guys! Sorry for poofing!
Gtg now anyway. Bye!
(owww. My elbow!)
*goes up to the twins cribs*
*smiles down at the twins*
Hello. I missed you both sooooo much. Who're the cutest babies around? You two are. Yes you two are.
(Hi/Bye Rhydian!
Wb Silente!)
*makes two mirrors and places them in the babies cribs*
(Hey Draggie. How are you?)
*sits on the end of Chi and Blake's bed*
*leans on the edge of Lira's cot*
Hello princess.
*swing Lucas into the air*
Yay!!
Aren't they cute? To think something as violent as their daddy made something as beautiful and peaceful as these two.
*waves at Lucas*
*flies Lucas over Sil's head, making airplane noises*
Careful Viv!
*watches Viv*
*gently picks Lira up and bounce her up and down*
Ello baby
*smiles at her giggle*
I would never drop him.
*slows Lucas down and plops him in his cot*
(I'm fine, thanks. You?)
*sits underneath her tree*
Good. If you did you'd have a hunter, an angel and a vampire after you.
*stands and rocks Lira back and forth*
Yes he would. Cause nobody's going to hurt you. No they're not. No they're not..
(Food brb.)
And also my conscience.
*goes to get some milk bottles*
*smiles and quietly sings while rocking Lira*
Dancing bears, painted wings Things I almost remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory...
*humming with the melody*
Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory
Far away, long ago Glowing dim as an ember Things my heart used to know Things it yearns to remember
Someone holds me safe and strong Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory
Far away, long ago Glowing dim as an ember Things my heart used to know Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings Once upon a December
(Back.)
*smiles down at Lira*
Shhh. We don't tell people that au- that the babysitter sang. 'kay? Cause she doesn't sing. Nit if she can help it.
*lays Lira in her crib and moves to Lucas*
Hey..
*still sat underneath her tree*
(That annoying moment when you're parents and step dad start acting like five year olds and you're going stuck in the cross fire -_-)
*picks up Lucas*
*bounces him up and down*
You're starting to look handsome mister. Must get it from your mammy.
*smiles*
(*never had that* :P)
(Youre lucky.)
*tickles Lucas*
*laughs and bounces him*
No song for you mister. Cause we dont sing. No we don't. Well you might but I don't.
*smiles*
*activates her computer and begins scanning the tree*
(Brb.)
(Back.)
(Well, everyone has been talkative.)
(It seems everyone has poofed.)
(http://www.cheese.com/)
(*starts chewing on the internet*)
(*eating Google servers*)
(Hey Fabi! How are you?
I dedicate this page to skittles and also to toasty waffles and scotch pancakes.)
I'm alright. You?
Hewwo
I've just clme back from Kung fu
(I'm fine, thanks. :)
Hey Chloe! How are you?)
I'm great thnx
I'll be aching in the morning tho 😅
Welcome back, Inky. :-)
Hey Fab
(This link will be open for only ten minutes)
(Silente - they're really good. :) )
Their great Sil 😋
Their great Sil 😋
(Closed!)
(Thanks guys and, sorry for poofing Draggie. I started typing...
Which was your preferred draft?)
(Were the things on your blog the drafts?
I think I preferred the latest one, in which case.)
(yes. The things on the blog were the drafts. By last do you mean 'Cold'?)
I loved the last one
I should start a new blog
The ones I did weren't very good and my stories are mostly on wattpad
I'm writing this one privately that I'm hoping to send to a publisher when I finish
(I didn't actually take notice of the titles. The one on the top where it involves scaling a building.)
(Well why not start a new blog Flick!
I haven't posted in Tempest Tales in SOOOOO long. Or Poetry....hmmm.)
Oh, and you know the water challenge on Facebook? My mum has been nominated and she said she will nominate me and my sis so...
(@Draggie yeah that's Cold. The other one was Judgment.)
(Water challenge? *hasn't heard of this one yet*)
I think I shall do my most popular story on here, and rewrite it better while I'm at it
Basically the water challenge is when your nominated to have someone tip water all over you and film it
Wait, which story shall I do? The rouge or the witch of horotopia ?
(I think the water challenge is just stupid. Just donate money to charity for god's sake. -_-)
(...*totally doesn't do that on a regular basis anyway, minus the filming* oh okay.)
(My dad did the water challenge this morning and it was hilarious as we're in Scotland and it was cloudy and windy so it would have been much much colder.)
(I feel so sick...)
Aww death 😩 I hope you feel better soon
(@Chi XD)
(@Deathy awwww :( )
(Does anyone else just listen to a song and image like their character battling to that music or imagine their characters entire life or anything like that? Honest question.)
((Aww what's wrong deathy?))
*a small girl walks out of the massive doors they had met in front of*
*everyone turned towards her and bowed*
*bows*
stand, my sisters.
All: Yes, Lady Artemis.
I want you all to welcome back your sister in arms, Khione. Daughter of Boreas and Oreithyia.
*everyone turns towards her, some not too happy about it*
All: Welcome home, sister.
I don't think quite like that
I think of my character singing a song that applies to their life
)l(death just sick of life.)
(Yes Silente, 'let it go')
Msd
(Occasionally, Silente, but I don't think songs can represent characters or people. But for example, when I hear The Dark Knight theme I end up thinking of Sophia fighting. It doesn't represent her or her fighting style or anything like that but it just immediately comes to my mind.)
(Oh. Am I just weird then...?)
(@Chi *watching*)
*is sat between the two cots, smiling at each twin*
*both asleep*
Hi, Rose.
(That's what I mean Draggie!
@Chi yeah but...hush. That's cheating. LIFES TOO SHORT. Love that song.)
the girl: *walks towards her, holding something blue in her hand*
Welcome back, my best hunter.
It's a pleasure My lady.
*takes her hunting uniform off of her*
Go change, quickly.
Yes ma'am.
You can use my quarters.
*nods and runs through the doors, feeling glares into the back of her head*
Hey Loki
*hugs* Feel better, love.
*sighs and gets up from the floor*
*the twins are fine, they look so innocent when they sleep*
*adorable*
*pulls the covers up slightly around Lira*
I feel so sick...
people come hug me.
inky: *drags back yet another deer to the cave*
*starts eating it*
*starts feeling dizzy, starts shaking*
*whimpers*
*recovers after a few minutes*
*continues eating deer*
Christen: *sits against tree*
How am I suppose to get you out of this mess, Miss Inky?
(*pats Em's head* I hope you feel better soon...)
(*hugs Em* feel better soon)
((it is impossible to find a good picture of a hunter wearing blue. Seriously.))
*still sat beneath her tree*
(@Chi XD yeah I don't think many hunters wear blue..)
(*looks weirdly at my mind* the stuff you imagine happening with this music...its weird. I mean, Clarente. Viv being angry at Sil. Chi getting pissed at then later saving Sil...the only pattern is Sil!)
(*starts singing night surgeon *)
(*shudders and stabs Erica for that last one*)
(Night surgeon?)
(From Repo, when Nate says he can't kill mag and rotti is like ' give a prognosis will they live?' And the woman is like 'DOUBTFUL!')
Zaf likes Repo . . . so does Ari, I think. :)
YES SILENTE I DO THAT
Not usually with my music though, because my music works perfectly well in its own without add-ons. Usually when I'm listening to Capital when it's on in the car. But then nothing good works with that beacuse most of it's slightly rubbish, so you know, bad system. XD
(Thought it might be repo. I've only heard two repo songs. Zadrate Anatomy and one sung by mags to the girl and shes creeped out.)
Repos awesome.... Terrace zdunich ...
Repos awesome.... Terrace zdunich ...
Repos awesome.... Terrace zdunich ...
(Yey! I'm not the only one! *hugs Star*)
Repos awesome.... Terrace zdunich ...
(Chase the morning? You really need to watch it
There's a part when he kills a guy and rips open his stomach, stuffs his hand up him and uses the guy as a puppet)
*hugs Silente* :)
@Inky: XD Sounds ace. :)
. . .
That's really not a bad idea. You should do it with children, their bodies are smaller so they'll be easier to control - less distance for your arms to cover in them, yes?
(Yes XD)
(Yeah Chase the Morning.
He uses a person as a puppet...that sounds cool. I wanna try it!)
It's only for like a line in a song
Inu god wouldn't it be great if we could all meet and have a repo night XD
Inu god wouldn't it be great if we could all meet and have a repo night XD
*omigod
Which story of mine do you thing I should write on here ?
The witch of horotopia
Or
The rouge
*omigod
Which story of mine do you thing I should write on here ?
The witch of horotopia
Or
The rouge
Hmm...The Rouge.
Okay :-)
That's the story that needs the most work
(I just realised we haven't figured out Sil's serum problem..)
( I know, what are we suppose to do to drain inkys blood aswell? )
Does anyone know how to make the serum?
Also -
ALL YOU PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HUNTER'S NAME AND IT KEEPS MAKING ME JUMP. :P
I'd be pleased to read it, Inky. :)
Aww thnx Star
I like to think my writing has improved since my first story
(Shiiiit... Fell asleep...)
*Cuddles Em tightly*
Ily
. . .
*still on first proper story XD*
Hey Death!
(Sorry. Poofed. Was randomly given £10.10 in coins.. *shrugs*)
(Sil can MAKE her serum but she needs the ingredients.)
(as for the blood problem if you separated the drug from the blood in the sample you could test on it until we figured out a cure then inject her with that...)
Morning, Rose.
I start a lot of stories but never finish them
The private on I'm writing, I'm determined to finish it
Im on page 60 already
Hey again Loki... I fell asleep, sorry...
Good idea Sil
I'm goin to bed now
I have volunteer work in the morning
(Toodles, Penguin!!)
That is fine. Mornings can be a pain.
(Bye then Flick! Sleep well!)
(*tries to work out a way around the serum problem*)
Yeah, and staying up till one and waking up at four and trying to live. That hurts...
I don't generally get beyond the first few chapters. Over 70,000 words on my Hunter+Ez story, thougj. :)
Fours, Inky! :(
Hey Zaf! :)
I am not surprised you fell back asleep. Do not worry, I kept the twins safe, they sucked on each other's fists.
Probably more than 80,000 really . . .
THAT'S MORE THAN THE LENGTH OF THE FIRST SP BOOK YAAAAAAAAY
It's all rubbish though, so I'm not sure if it counts. :/
@Death: :( :(
*hugs*
You really need more sleep . . . :/
Hi Star-Zaf
(@Star you're doing well on that story :)
I'm the same. Never get past a few chapters...)
(*thinking*)
Aw... They're going to hear of that when they're teenagers and kill the other... It's cute, though.
I need a buttload more sleep. But I can't.
@Silente: You can roleplay well, though, so. :P
I think quite a few people are like that . . .
And, not really. :/
@Death: :/ :/ :/
They're so adorable. I even managed to feed Kari. Leif slept until his sister ate and then decided food was a good choice.
Aha! If you watered down some of Kessies serum then the hemlock in it would be weaker. The weaker it is the less problematic the hemlock will be aka the weaker the allergic reaction will be. It'll still be there, and it'll be painful but it SHOULD stop the change without TOO MUCH damage done to Sil...
Yeah Bubble... It sucks... It hurts, too...
So they're all good... Now I need to know about you... So, I'm assuming you read the letter, based on knowing where to find me earlier... What are your thoughts on that whole big thing?
*She hid her face, ashamed*
(Seems I'm back... Too warm to sleep.)
Lettter?
(Hey Dragona!)
The one crumpled on the floor in front of the sofa...
*She peeked around him, saw the letter still laying on the floor, and groaned*
Oh great. This just got awkward.
*The letter:*
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
(Bacon is everywhere?)
(What?! WHERE IS MY BACON!?
Ahem.)
I know about it, Rose. I was all for losing my mind, but Thor and Zanida talked me into finding you. I am not mad anymore, and the fact you managed to lie to me for so long....impressed me. I do love you, and I know you love me.
(NO HOTMAIL WHY DID YOU CLOSE???
That meant to say, "How is everyone?")
http://www.unicorn-dream.co.uk/unicorn4.html
I find the weirdest things while searching google.
*Her head fell into her hands and she groaned*
Fury wasn't impressed, I'll give you that. And a certain other person... My employer... He...
*She shook her head slowly*
Never mind... I really would understand if you hate me now... Because that would be a smart thing to do... I hate me. Come on! Join the 'I hate Rose' club!
(I'm tired as all Hell, with a broken toe, on a Monday morning.
If all those thugs were removed, I would be fine.
You?)
(Everyone tastes better with bacon. Just a racy igloo. :) )
(*curses her screw up parents* Ffs why wont they just stop arguing about such a topic! Sjsksnnswloa! Ffs. CHILDREN.)
(Uh... Snow...? What the Hell...?)
(Dragona... Still, what the Hell...?)
(Temple, I'm sorry... People get annoying...)
(Hotmail please stop flowing on me! I don't like it. :(
I tape someone and then it screws uranium up!)
I'm president or the I Love Rose club
Ew... Loki, ew.. That's gross...
*She flicked his nose*
Who would make an 'I love Rose' group? Ew...
(Yay I got an email I can actually say things. :) )
hi
It is a one man club. *kisses her nose* How do you feel?
@Dragona: I'm kind of sorry I emaield you now. XD Your autoorrect is hilarious. :P
*hugs Silente . . . * :(
(Okay. Giant angry rant written and deleted. I am in a foul mood but I'm not going to rant about my parents now. How is everyone.)
*emailed
(Hey Em!!
*Cuddles*
Ily!)
Are you sure it's a one man club...? I could be out messing around with dozens of other boys...? I'm alright... My arm still hurts, so does my neck, but I'm alright...
Ranting is good.
*nods at Silente*
Fine . . .
Do you want Astrid to look at them? *gently rubs her neck* You still amaze me.
(Burst out laughing over Dragona's autocorrect)
(Star - its so a annoying. I'm glad you emailed. :P)
It's hilarious. XD
Still glad I emailed though. :P
(@Chi what happened to the Hunters thing?)
@El: Why? :/
Stop saying Hunter's name, dammit. :P XD
(Okay El. Five minutes.
Go.)
*cuddles in close to Rose.*
ily2
(Fjskslakdjakdkkas its not funny...
I'm trying to type and as soon as I post the comment it decides, "You know what? Lets spout crap because your email app closed!"
And then it comes out with bacon and makes me sound like a cannibal and about racy igloos and screwing uranium up... Damn thing.)
How do I amaze you? I'm only me... I picked a fight with your father, I chose to go to SHIELD, I chose to do whatever else I did wrong...
*She shook her head*
I'll be fine... I think my arm twinged a few nerves... And my neck still feels like it has a shattered vertebrae... But I'll be fine.
(*facepalm* starting now.)
(Do you wanna continue from last night, Emmy...?
Ily3)
*kisses her neck* Well I am happy you are beside me now.
yeah Rose. I guess...
(closing it)
*She pushed his far away from her neck, her face serious but her eyes filled with amusement*
Did you forget that I'm ticklish?

Rose2:
*She smiled at Roland and sat back on the sofa. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them. She wasn't really looking at anything, she was thinking about the silver mark Ariana gave both Roland and her*
(It annoys me when on films and in television programmes they're like, "X died X amount of times before they were revived".
Because the person didn't DIE. Their heart stopped beating. There's a difference.)
I did. *laughs* What does my little human want for breakfast?
*Roland looked at her as he sat back beside her. Ariana was sitting back in her swinger, sucking on a baby biscuit.*
Roland: Are you okay? You seem quite distant.
