《The Supernatural Case of an Accidental Time Traveler》Witch Trials - Part 029

“You knew she was alive?” I asked as she started to pace in the hallway below the stairs.
“Not exactly. I had my doubts about her death but that was all.”
“I feel like it should come as more of a shock to hear that.”
“Oh, I am shocked. Mainly, I am trying to wrap my head around it and how you of all people know she is alive.”
“I went to her grave and she punched me after telling me who she was.”
“That isn’t enough to prove that she is alive. I’m guessing you met her again and that’s how you received that information.”
“Yes, she took me to a bar where she was recognized by the bar owner. He even gave her a sword.”
“That does make it more believable.”
“Why does it matter to you if she is still alive or not?”
“Because… when she was thirteen, I sent her on a mission to search for possible traitors in our midsts. She found several and assassinated them at my behest. However, after less than a year of doing this she came back to me terrified. She claimed she had met Micheal and he told her many things about the Agency. She was so shaken and didn’t feel safe in Warwick anymore so I sent her to London. She started acting differently after that.”
“So you assumed she was working for the Masked Man?”
“I had my thoughts. Then she died and I hated myself for such thoughts. A while later I started receiving letters of warning from an unknown person. They warned of many things and all of them have come to pass except a few which lie in the future.”
“You thought they may be coming from Silva?”

“Yes, and the Masked Man. before sending her away she would always speak of a traitor in our midsts but refused to say anymore. Then would give me a prediction of the future as if she had seen it herself.”
“Do you know how she made these predictions?”
“She would say that Micheal told her.”
“Well, that’s not much different from what she told me.” I said crouching against the cracked wall.
“What did she tell you?”
“That no one can know she lives just yet. There is a time when she can reveal herself but it is not now. She also gave me the location of Medea and told me that although Micheal was evil, he was the lesser of two. That the Agency was way worse than even you know about.”
“That does concern me.”
“You aren’t going to deny it?”
“I don’t know if I can yet. What Medea told me has left me wondering about some things.”
“I understand.”
“For now, I guess we should keep her being alive a secret. We wouldn’t want anyone else having their mind clouded while we fight Medea.” she said as she began heading up the stairs.
“Of course, Head Concil.” I replied, following her up the stairs.
Upstairs Scot was pouring over a few maps and Compton was cooking a small meal. They both looked beat and tired but were pushing through it. Both of them looked at me with concern but as soon as they saw that I was unharmed they acted like nothing happened. Iscarat was on the couch fast asleep.
“What are you looking at?” I asked Scott.
“The underground sewer system and tunnels in London. I was hoping that maybe they would help us get the jump on Medea.” he said gesturing at the maps.
“That could work in our favor.” Mordred said, looking over the maps herself.

Shura Saga: Burn and Slay - Cultivation, Lightning Bolts, Monsters galore
“If it lives, we can slay it. And then burn it, just to make sure it doesn’t come back from the dead,” she said. “...does that happen often?” he asked. “Slaying? Yeah, duh? It’s what we're here to do in the first place, dummy.” “I meant the coming back from the dead part.” “Eh. More often than you’d like.” “Great. Just great.” Walking away from a life drenched in senseless bloodshed, Raksha embarks on the Warrior’s Pilgrimage. In doing so, he strives to hone his mind, spirit, and martial skills, and he swears to abide by the Ancient Code’s tenets of honor and compassion. He definitely did not expect to run into Sadea, a powerful sorceress who loves silk, jewels, and killing things for fun and profit. Neither did he expect to be stuck with her as they fight murderous mutants, vicious monsters, and demons. She calls their entanglement a beautiful partnership, but it’s the last thing he needs. Or so he thinks.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
