《The Dark Times》Article 7: Winter Travel
Advertisement
Hello everyone, it’s that time of year again where everyone is on the move visiting family and friends. When you have to suffer all the difficulties that come with avoiding the urge to tear out the throat of that child kicking the back of your chair.
Here are some of the simple ways of getting around those urges and to avoid all Dark-less contact.
All through the winter time we have Genocide Travels choosing routes that will pull in at any raging coastline, alcove, or cave with their five-star accommodation rated by Decay and Allergy.
Genocide Travels promise that there will always be a Dark-less village or town nearby for those who need sustenance. They also inform us that they will take pets, large or small. They have several packages from basic to diamond plated so there’s a price convenient for everyone, but of course there are limited places, so get in early.
For those of you who get trapped or get lost in the grains of time. We have the emergency travel sleigh. It’s very expensive and the driver dresses rather brightly and can something be a bit dangerous, so we suggest best behaviour and definitely don't steal from him or you may find yourself falling from a great height.
The emergency travel is especially good if you find yourself landlocked and you need to get away but the driver has many obligations that could mean a long wait for pick up.
I should point out that he only works in one half of the globe at a time. From month three to month nine he travels the southern globe and then into the northern hemisphere for the other half.
So, you must be wondering, if he is always travelling, how do you contact him. He has an iPhone, 0360 is his phone number. For those of you who don't own or cannot use mobile phones he will still answer the old call.

Stick out an olive branch and say Ho, ho ho.
You will need to pay him a small gold coin or something of equal value. If you struggle to know what items to get, we suggest supplying mincemeat, woodworking supplies, green cloth, paint and bright baubles.
You can also offer hay to his team but beware the horns and the lead animal’s hot nose. It leaves a nasty burn.
His name is Nicholas and if you behave until the end of your trip you may receive a gift or your gold coin back.
If you live in a town or city and you live far from the sea and there is no need for an emergency lift we recommend Possessed By Thee. They are a taxi service that can provide both long and short journeys where you can forget about driving, and just sit back and relax as you experience the most advanced vehicles in the world and will willingly take you anywhere as long as you can pay.
Possessed By Thee also have an ambitious plan to take themselves into the mainstream and provide an additional service of meals on wheels.
These are just some of the best ways to travel in winter. We wish you the most depressing Christmas of your life and see you next year.

Cursed Era
Tilvrade is born into a family of country nobility. A baby with vague memories of another world, he begins his life trying to come to grips with the world he is in now, while fitting into his household's lifestyle and maid's loving attentions. Soon, shadows of intrigue, creep out from the capital of the kingdom and disrupt his day to day. Revelations of odd vestiges of a civilisation spark memories of who he was. Cover is a work by a great artist called madimb. You can find the full image here. Read if you enjoy reincarnation plots, medieval fantasy and a slow developing negative protagonist. Don't read if you like fast developments and action. This story is overly detailed and not for everyone (The MC is still not a teenager as of chapter 40, if that gives you a hint of the pacing...)

The Cage
Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind. They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth. For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath. This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably end really badly. *Cover art taken from internet source of free-use, uncopyrighted photos and images.

The Lost Lord: Aymon Chronicles
There has been bad blood for centuries between the Skadjans and the Osknians. It was only a matter of time before the Skadjans attempted to take back what was originally theirs from the start-- the continent of Osknia. Caught up in the crossfire is lord of Khudril, Alaric Aymon, who is taken by pirates amidst the chaos of a Skadjan-led siege and shipped off to a far away land where Goblins rule and a high price is the reward for an Osknian lord. However, the journey to Gobblesfled is not as straight forward as it would seem, even for seasoned pirates of the sea. As Alaric Aymon attempts to find his way back home, he is beginning to realize the rise of the Skadjans is not without a darker magic spurring them on, and there may be much darker implications for his beloved land of Khudril, and worse, for all of Osknia.

Magicat
Our main character (a cat) adventures with his friends and encounters many situations.Author's Note:Hello. This is my first story. Though I hesitate to call it such. It is supposed to be relatively relaxed for the most part. Any constructive criticism is welcome. My updates will be slower than a snail and my chapters are relatively short so deal with it please and don't murder me. Romance should come in later. Thank you~
