Things don't always happen the way it seems they should. Sometimes the way things unfurl is simply a letdown. One must always be on the lookout for the next step, however, because everything is not always as it seems, and even what looks like a boring, open-and-shut story from the outside has depth and meaning. Doesn't it? Sethra has been preparing her whole life for this - it shouldn't be this easy. But when she takes down the man who killed her family, is it the end of her life as she has always thought it would be? Or will it merely lead to more unfinished business? She'll find out soon, when she awakens to the mysterious Rune, who tells her what terrible plot fate has in store for her next.... Warnings: Blood, death, cursing. ON HIATUS WHILE I DEAL WITH SCHOOL AND WORK - WILL CONTINUE UPDATING AT AN IRREGULAR SCHEDULE. Should update weekly (or bi-weekly, we'll see how quick I can churn out chapters) on Thursdays.
