2024-04-27 08:47:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe food was ready. As it all came together, the doll made me a bowl and held it out expectantly and I gingerly took it, feeling compelled to speak aloud.
"Thank you."

Hello folks. So I'm basically working on quite a few projects and so forth. So I've decided to ask you lot what you'd like me to focus on now for this week. Vote now, get what ye want as the priori...

2024-04-11 19:43:01 +0000 UTC View PostI sent the Basilisk away for her safety. As powerful as she was, all it'd take was a lucky hit and that would be the end for her. As it was, she was far more useful as both a deterrent as well as a...

I very gently, tucked Natya into bed and sighed out.
I felt a little bad, essentially drugging her to put her out of the way, but I'd need her space in order to conduct my investigation. Tha...

I blinked. Next to me, Nagini stared on coldly, much of...
I woke up to the splash of water on my face.
Also, I was naked. Tied to a chair bolted to the floor, in the midst of a room where a light shone in my face and outside of that circle, nothing...
I was quiet.
Nagini grew more wary, looking at my expression that was likely familiar to her. That closed off, cold sensation as serpentine as her other form as I looked at the woman who bec...
