"You were not about to blaspheme the Sea Mother in MY presence. Not in YOUR lifetime." "And if I was?" "Do not take that attitude with me. And I am addressing you, you will face me...
The famous Gay Poet meets his groupie fan... This place doesn't look real. It's a Lego model. A replica of a real place. Only with all the life siphoned out of it.

He said, "This is rare, you home before...
A panicked young man dressed in black ran through a dark hallway desperately trying all the doors as he passed. Locked, every single one. The rattling of the door knobs echoed through the long tiled hallway. Tired from sprinting, he stopped. As he tried to catch his breath he could hear the footsteps approaching. One two, one two.

Hello again. I'm slowly updating so be assured I will finish at least Golded in Gold (for those of you that came over from that story to here) one more chapter for this story to go.
