Edge of Dark

April 23rd, 2005 The last few days were hell. Ramiel was really upset about the situation that resulted from the encounter with the Waterfall spirit. I don’t know exactly what happened during the seance we held for that lost soul, but whatever it was really upset him. It upset him so badly he wouldn’t come near ...

Timeline: September 25, 2001 Lyla had lost the Dark Man’s trail several days ago and try as she might, she couldn’t pick it up again. It happened from time to time and Ramiel learned that sooner or later, she always picked found it again. But Lyla always fretted over it far more than he did. She ...

As you’ve probably guessed, I’m not going to be writing things in here in a chronological order. As I remember things, or feel able to write about them, I’ll do it. I still don’t feel good about what happened at the waterfall. I thought I was doing the right thing, being so careful. ...

I don’t really know why I’m doing this. Well, I do, but it feels more than a little strange. Hamilton told me once that witches have something called a Book of Shadows. They used to have an oral tradition, passing knowledge down to members of their coven. When the persecutions started, ...

I was born, I grew, I learned and I changed. Now I find myself chasing a nightmare, one that never ends. I travel with the most beautiful woman I have ever known, she is everything I have ever wanted, and the one thing I won’t risk loosing. She is my friend, family, partner in everything, ...

Timeline: April 19th, 2005 The Appalachian Mountains might have been the “easier” mountain in North America to climb, but that didn’t mean the going wasn’t difficult. The morning that found Honoré, Lyla and Ramial back on the Trail was wet, muddy, and consequently slippery. There was more than one occasion where the group had to wade ...

April 16th, 2005 I know I’m healing amazingly quickly. Everybody keeps telling me that and I think it’s true. It’s just that I can barely wait to get out of here. Get out of bed, out of this bed and breakfast, out of this speck of “town”. It’s not even a town really. Just a sort of ...

Timeline: April 17, 2005 Honoré had been in hospital following the tragedy that killed her parents. She remembered a man in black entering her room and standing near the monitor that was regulating the pain medication, but then he had disappeared when the chaplain arrived. His visit was short and despite his religious background, Honoré couldn’t help ...

Journal Entry #1 April 15th, 2005. All right, so I’m writing. I’m bored out of my skull trying to heal up from that thing that bit me yesterday. Horrible. Margaret, the innkeeper here, has really worked wonders helping me out, but I’m not sure she really believes my story. Strange given her talent for what looks like ...

Timeline: April 13, 2005 Ramiel and Lyla moved on as they always did. Their search seemed a rambling wander up the Appalachian Trail, pausing here and there for side trips to towns not far from the wooded path. In fact, they were searching for someone. Or, something. Lyla had said that the Trail was like spine or ...
