HOBAL: Epping the Ferryman.

When you ask people about how they feel about the London underground. Most of them would say that they don’t mind it. That it is anti-social and a bit grubby. Some might say that they have never been on time, or that they are convenient for the commute to work. The Underground is the life blood of London, its veins and arteries. I have been travelling the underground for most of my life and I know my way around it. I later got a job in the rail service. It is an alright job, as long as you don’t mind dealing with stupid members of the public. The odd delay, people forgetting their tickets and of course the monsters in the tunnel c

HOBAL: The Lock in.

They say there is a bar at the end of the world where the last drags of humanity will sit and wait for the world to burn. The end of the world is a long way off but still humans sit and wait for the skies to burn. Everyone in a pub has a story to tell, and will tell it, if of course you are willing to buy the next round. My name is the Barman and welcome to the Lock in. The pub was dark and sedate. The juke box was playing some Johnny Cash in the back ground with a group of three stood by it, tapping their feet and enjoying the song. The dead man in the far corner was stitching up his wounds and drinking embalming fluid to keep him together.

HOBAL: The Oath pt1.

The street was in ruins. Fires crackled and rubble covered the floor. Water cascaded from the sky from a burst water main and bodies littered the floor. The battle was a brutal one. A car alarm screamed and sirens wailed in the air as the police cars got closer. Nelson Street coughed and spluttered as he shoved a piece of car off of him. He was certain his ribs were broken but he didn’t care. He looked around for Katelyn wanting to help her out of any mess she was in, just like she would always do for him. He found her lying in the road, motionless and gone. There was no magic coming from her, no pulse, no breath. Nelson looked around

Edwin's journal part nine.

Extract from the journal of Edwin Valentine. I should have died today. I know I should have died, I went ahead to scout and there they were, abyssal creatures hundreds of creatures corrupted by the abyss and they captured me alive. I cannot believe that, I have difficulty believing they would do that and it happened to me. The Abyss is simply a force of nature the constant devourer that will attempt to hunt and eat every one of my kind. And yet it spared me. It wanted to know something, something I did not know, but I did know one thing if I told them of my ignorance I would die so I talked and talked telling them everything of no importanc

HOBAL: For our sins.

You condemn us? You call us wrong and stunted and unnecessary? Have forgotten what we were made for? Have you forgotten our purpose? When the Houses were formed all those years ago, it was formed on a dream. A dream that every practitioner no matter the school, no matter the philosophy would coexist. That they would share knowledge and keep humanity safe. We all believed in that dream, we all put our hopes and fates into that dream. You all wanted to bask in the light and live in a golden age. That cannot be done. There will always be monsters and fools. Those who will destroy and those who will not keep the secret. You have the Warders who

The Grimoire: Fragments pt3.

On the Road to Moscow, 1625 Anton Weiss woke up in a cart, he felt groggy and disorientated. Mikhail’s head popped into view. “Anton? He is alive it is a miracle.” “Something like that.” Anton groaned, “Where are we?” “The road to Moscow friend.” “What?” Anton sat up right and regretted it immediately. “What about the Ogres? The village?” “It is safe, the battle is over and we won.” Anton slumped back onto the makeshift bed he was resting on, “What happened?” “The Ogres have a master. A sorcerer.” “I know I worked th

The Republic of Venice, 1616 Reinhardt was sketching out a circle on the floor of his lodgings, the symbols were a combination of several languages from Latin, to Greek and Arabic. His apprentice Johannes leaned against a wall watching, “What are we calling up Master?” “You in a manner of speaking my boy.” Reinhardt smiled to himself. “Today you will no longer be my apprentice.” “You mean?” Johannes pushed himself off of the wall looking excited. “You’re taking off the restrictions.” “That’s right from now on you will be your own man, under your own power and y

The Grimoire: Fragments pt1.

Habsburg Empire, 1600. Erich Reinhardt walked through the small Village peering at all the houses and shops. He knew there was something here, a magical presence he felt when he scryed the night before as he entered this Village for a bed for the night. The locals stopped and stared at the man. Dressed in riding boots and a long riding cloak he carried a hiking staff and a sword on his hip. He looked rich, and he had a look about him like he was a learned man. He stopped at a Thatcher’s house and looked at it for a full minute before knocking on the door. The Thatcher opened the door and smiled at Reinhardt, “Herr Reinhardt what

HOBAL: Bought and Sold: Prologue.

London, 4th September 1863. Doctor Winston Morecroft was a well-respected man. Beloved by his patients and the community of which he served. He was a church going man who did great works for the poor. Of course what most people didn’t know about him was that he was a wizard. His betrothed Elvira walked lovingly on his arm as they walked home one night from a night at the theatre. “A marvellous performance wasn’t it Winston dear.” “Yes dear.” Morecroft was deeply in love with Elvira Langley and he had finally plucked up the courage to ask her to be his wife. They planned to be married in about a month. Mo

HOBAL: Fistful of Glass pt3

I woke up at about eight or nine and cooked some dinner. I turned the music player on The Rolling Stones started to drift about the flat as I got up. I put back on the same trousers and boots as this morning but I put on a nice shirt. At least it looked nice, I got it dirt cheap from a charity shop so if it got wrecked it didn’t matter. I considered wearing my big grey but I thought that would give the wrong impression so I threw my pea coat on. Then started to check my pockets making sure I had everything. Mobile? Check, Oyster card? Check, Keys? Check, Wallet? Check, Lighter? Check, Matches? Check, Torch? Check, Pocket knife?

The Horror Of Our Love

Between bookshelves, two young Academy students sat pouring over notes, Janice looking as confused as ever. Her friend from childhood Tilecric, sat beside her helping her study for an upcoming assignment. "Yeah but Til, if the math is right then-" He held up his hand. "Hush Jan. You're focusing on the numbers when you should have double checked the variables. See?" He rewrote the problem slowly so she could keep track. Jan's confusion quickly turned to understanding. "Oh right! And then carry the four..." She mumbled off into a deep focus on the physics problem. "There you go!" He grinned and watched her work. A man only a few years older

Winnie and Arden Blurb

“You know, Boris is an awful name,” Winslow said, making a face as she swung her feet back and forth. They nearly touched the ground, which irritated her. It was also far too hot in the train, causing her to complain about everything. “How are you still wearing that jacket?” “It’s not that hot in here, you’re just sensitive,” Arden told her, pushing his hat down over his eyes, “I’m going to take a nap, wake me if we pass anything interesting?” “Interesting? Like what, a bloody clown on the wing or something of that nature?” They were already an hour into the

Another Year another journal.

0 min read

Hi all, Since my brain seems to still think like a uni student and the uni year is pretty much done then I'll talk about my year. It is my first one as a civilian, with no essays or exams or seminars. And i miss it. I honestly do, i like being an academic and would do more but i cannot afford it. I have gone into the big old world and have done alright, better than i could have been and not as well as i would like. I have had a couple of jobs, had some ups and downs. I have been kissed by some wonderful women and made new friends. I have started a new project of the Houses of Bone and Lamplight which was in reaction to wanting to run gifted

Hi all, Currently working on a production of Hedda Gabler which is exciting, tiring and should be really fun. If you don't know the play then I suggest that you look it up.

In other news I am 22 soon, (huzzah) and I would like to ask you lot for something for the occasion. To those who are arty if you can find the time to draw something from the Houses of Bone and Lamplight, I really want to see my world in pictures.
