"Hi...Its Dana. I just arrived at your airport. I have a hotel reservation, but I am hoping I don't need it." The pause was dreadful. "You won't. I can't believe yo...
Valkyries' Pool "There, it's all set then." Zoe says as she logs off the suite's computer. "What's all set?" I ask as I walk into the bedroom from the balcony. "Tomorrow." "mmm?" "You'll see."

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." Oscar Wilde I. The setting, the shadow world of Perilous Gard. Medieval in tone, velvet tapestries of mythological beasts and of beautiful men and women under their dominion adorn the fortified stone walls.
