Aligeri - Chapter 30 Part IChapter Thirty: Yule (Part I)

A full-scale search of the palace was issued as soon as possible, but after scouring every inch of the castle and grounds, they found no one who wasn't supposed to be there. It was both unnerving and relieving at the same time. During the entire search, Zephyr stayed in his room, trying to calm himself by playing his flute, but it didn't seem to be helping. Eventually, he simply gave up trying.

"They aren't going to find him," he said to Ailuros, who was still there (just in case). "He's too clever."

Ailuros, who was reclined on one of his chairs, threw him a glance.

"But how?" she asked, shaking her head. "I

Murdering Mary SueMurdering Mary Sue

Every aspiring writer has met her at least once, whether in his own works or in those of others. The alluring temptation of a perfect character taunts the author from one side while his muse urges him to keep writing from the other. Who wouldn't love her? She's the most beautiful, talented, fantastic woman in the universe, with not a flaw in sight. Every woman wants to be her; every man wants to marry her, so why would anyone want to kill her? Who would want to murder Mary Sue?
I would. I and many greater authors have been working hard to keep this succubus in her proper place: the trash can. Mary Sue is one of the wors

Aligeri - Chapter 29Chapter Twenty-Nine: Blood and Snow

Later that day, Guy and Zephyr were on their way back to the castle with the latter's items. The Saffirs had agreed to let Zephyr stay, and so they had gone to the Sleeping Goat to pick up his belongings. The prince seemed rather happy.

"It's great that they're allowing you to stay at the palace for a while," he commented. "Now, hopefully, you'll feel more at ease."

"I can't say I feel any more safe being in a castle," Zephyr quipped. "Look at the guard here: they couldn't stop even yer friend from being attacked by Rainer. I'm not so sure thicker walls will make much of a difference."

He adjusted his b

Aligeri - Chapter 28Chapter Twenty-Eight: Demon

The blonde nodded in sad understanding, putting a hand over her mouth to prevent herself from letting her emotions get the best of her. After a quiet moment, Clarice concluded that there was nothing that she could really do right now, and politely excused herself in a small voice.

At first she really didn't know what she was going to do with herself. On one hand, she could go to her room and try to get a hold of herself...but then she found herself heading to Charles' room. After everything that had happened today, she just wanted to talk to her brother. That, and she wanted a hug very, very badly right now.

"C

Aligeri - Chapter 27Chapter Twenty-Seven: Innocent Eyes

Guy stared at Feles for a moment, as if in disbelief. Clarice looked at Alyx, a concerned expression on her face.

"This means that he was telling the truth..." she started. Guy shook his head.

"But..." He started. The female aligeri looked over at him, a little angrily.

"I know you don't trust him after what he did to you, but if there was another murder in the Port District, then he's innocent, just like he said! We can't just keep him locked up!"

The prince's face fell. He didn't want to admit it, but Clarice was right. They really had no reason to keep him behind bars now.

"So what should we do ab

B is for...by *Cei-Ellem

Digital Art / Drawings / Still Life

...Blender.

Or Bitter Truths.

Part of a larger commission I got from

, related to Edge of Thorns and uploaded with permission. As I complete each book, I will show you another piece of the larger picture, eventually revealing the entire image when the series is complete (at which point,

may also upload the drawing to her gallery; I've asked her not to in the meantime, so don't think you can sneak a peek that way).

Yes, it is relevant to the plot. Extremely relevant.

On a random note, I miraculously don't work tomorrow (my first full day off in nearly two months T_T) so expect an update to book two soon!

Um... the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this was a blender equivalent of the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street... "B is for blender, that's good enough for me, blender blender blender starts with B!"

I'm such a derp...
