    Chapter 22

    22 The autumn wind sweeping through the Oak Creek reserve carried the crisp, sharp scent of pine needles, damp earth, and the faint, lingering smell of woodsmoke from a meticulously constructed fire pit. In the center of the designated clearing, Boy Scout Troop 442 stood in a perfect, terrifyingly silent semi-circle. Twelve twelve-year-old werewolf pups, clad in immaculate, pressed khaki uniforms, stood at absolute attention. Their posture was rigid. Their golden eyes were fixed for
  3. And as for Merrick's scheme, someone's on it.

  5. Chapter Nineteen: The Weighing of Souls "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." — Ecclesiastes 12:14 The rain had been falling over southern Ontario for three consecutive days, a steady, unrelenting grey curtain that turned the sprawling greens of the Magna Golf Club into a saturated, unplayable marshland. The sky was the color of bruised iron, pressing down heavy and low against the horizon. The air was

    It is also something Esca cannot do. Which annoys him, Andy is the last that knows the art. And passing it to Bart frees them to make their own children

    exactly the vibe I went with.

    I think Lucas has had a big impact on Andy. It's not so much about Lucas's stuff... it's how he has changed Andy's world. A big giant Husky puppy plopping down on you and saying HI will make anyone melt.

    Excellent chapter

    Chapter 21

    The stand off between Bart and Esca is well earned. Esca believes he is at the top of the food chain. Bart's casual reminder that he may be old for a vampire, but Bart is old for a Gargoyle, and their power level is about the same when Bart is standing on his domain/sanctuary. Esca backing down is prudent. Bart is not someone he wants to fight, and not there.

    Chapter 21

    21 The church steeple was cold, the autumn wind whipping through the open stone arches, carrying the scent of dead leaves, cold river water, and distant woodsmoke. Esca Tyrell stood at the very edge of the windswept parapet, his pale grey eyes fixed on the sprawling, glittering expanse of the suburban valley below. He had followed the faint, lingering scent of ancient stone and forgotten magic—a subtle, mineral trail that had led him here, to the one singular creature in all of Oak Creek w
  16. Andrew's firing on all cylinders at last. Thinking and acting instead of reacting and playing catch up. He doesn't have the full map of the battleground, but he is positioning his pieces to fight it none the less.
  17. I just finished the book to my satisfaction. 34 Chapters in total. Andrew "Carter" has one hell of a fight ahead of him.
  18. My take on Tanaka, from what we have seen across Echo, Asset, Recourse, and the Order books. He is fundamentally a good person, he is a hound of the state. Cunning, patient, and ruthless when called upon. Terrifying as an interrogator. He trusts his people, Andrew, and Andrew's own team. (Yani, West, et al) His death, when he triggers the self-destruct of the Ziggurat (The actualy nickname of CSIS HQ in Ottawa) taking out the bulk of the American Intelligence division during the 45-Minute war, shows us the lengths he will take to do what must be done. Andrew is his Kashin (trusted lieutenant/loyal sword) and every inch Tanaka's protege.
  19. mmmmm coffee... yes I got it done in the end.
  20. So I hit publish... or thought I did, an hour ago... And realized I actually hadn't just now... I was wondering why the views were stalled. I need more coffee.... stronger... espresso time.
  21. The air inside the CSIS offices smelled entirely of ozone, stale filtered oxygen, and the sharp, clinical sting of industrial bleach. It was a suffocating, artificial atmosphere, completely divorced from the organic chaos of the outside world. Located deep within the subterranean levels of an anonymous, brutalist concrete office park near the airport, the room had no windows, no clocks, and absolutely zero concessions to human comfort. The walls were lined with sound-dampening acoustic foam, pai

    he doesn't, but a bloody, dripping, rare burger... I think he's in heaven. he also ate the Cooper's steak. I think it's more a preference thing.
