Framed part 5

I double checked the Dragoness' note and headed for the nearest train station with a line to the Heart. If she was right my targets often met at one of the Heart's casinos for a few rounds of poker. Hopefully they'd be there now, these bastards went...

Dark Fog

Two golden eyes glowed in the darkness. all he could see now were two ovals staring at him and the serpent peering hungrily down at his chest. atar. it threw its body down and sunk its curved fangs into his heart.

Curse part 8

I didn't waste any time in getting to the dinner, Mr. Ward hurrying along behind me. I didn't sense anyone following us, but still, I'd rather not spend any more time with the kid out in the open than I had to. Especially since Bill's diner was on the...

Framed part 4

Sadly I finished my dinner just before the show started. I suppose that was for the best, if I stayed for the start I knew I would end up staying for the whole thing. Alice's amateur nights tend to be well worth the price of admission, mostly because...

"My current client, one Mr. Ward, has a pretty nasty bad luck curse hanging over his head. From what I've been able to figure it's a ritual curse and whoever is behind it has more than one mage working it." I told Helgarth. "Don't expect me to dispel...

Curse part 6

I woke up sprawled across Alice's bed. It seemed as if she had simply hauled me up on to the bed by the paws and just left me in whatever position I ended up in. I had a feeling that she had probably dragged me down the stairs the same way. I sat up...

Curse Part 4

Needless to say we drew a fair bit of attention as we made our way back to the bar. Between the crimson streaks that colored Alice's fur to the blood that still dripped from mine, we drew many worried looks. The fact that I was naked probably didn't...
