Favors Part 4
Something was wrong, terribly wrong, in fact, but Katrina couldn’t figure out what it was. She had such a difficult time concentrating on even the simplest of details these days.

Development Part 4
It was quite late. Giulia’s back and knees complained painfully to her about the position she’d been sitting in for the past few hours but she didn’t dare move. It was dark in the lab and some of the lights were motion sensitive. She knew Marisol would know someone was still inside the lab if…

Joy Multiplies
Magic was a complicated and, more often than not, a messy sort of business. Even when people stuck to known and proven incantations, rituals, and so forth there was still the possibility for something to just go wrong. While apprenticing, Joy had witnessed a number of magical mishaps, even caused a few herself, but there…
