IBEX

There's girlfriends, and then there are beards...

Never knew one could sail into Mexico City...

So he absorbed some essence of the Great and Ancient ones from the books.....

And naive old me thought of a cylinder head gasket issue or some other wear and tear on the old engine. Sabotage.... a little webcam surveillance should end that quickly. Taking Andy off auntie without any questions was perhaps a bit quick for me. He could possibly have a good home with family and still be supported by the gang

Most powerful, and awe-inspiring! Nothing beats a body of white and gold light levitating! I can't wait to hear the reporter gushing over what had transpired in the great hall of Haldruin! I expect the city to be thunderous upon the Prince exiting the Hall. A grand Royal Banquet will follow - where Chris will be introduced to the ancient and most powerful past King. I wonder, how Chris will crash, come down, from this immense high....it will take him a while to realise for himself what had happened. And he will need the help and guidance of the Kings and High Mage to understand the significance of what transpired...I wonder if al this power in the Hall during the Ceremony did change his entourage a little bit more? The smell of Victor was an indication, as were previous faint signs of magical ability in his dad and Leo. And how did it affect Vampires in General? Obviously they could all withstand the brightest of lights...

I am totally with you on that one! (...and I'm your senior, lol!)

Ah,but then a chapter BEFORE the Grand Act? Like exploring the palace and capital, perhaps? Give it time to build up, to savour!

Grand! So Victor got THE TALK! I just had to burst out laughing....but Elves are not ones of idle threats. Powerful focused and very much guarding what's important to them

That whole trip should last AT LEAST three chapters (since they are soooo short anyway...whine)I want to see the Pomp and Circumstance, worth a few centuries!

I see another UNVAK coming, what with all the new tribal tattoos ingrained in Chris now. They seem to be the source of his special, and so much stronger, powers than other seasoned and well trained elves can achieve...

This Latham guy stinks to high heaven! Chris should visit with Gramps now...

...besides, we humble peons want a grand affair for the ascension!

So it seems Gustav IS one of the bad guys, (or at least one VERY bad guy). We'll see, if Chris came out the pressure cooker truly a better, a more mature man/boy, and not only a half-baked time bomb, with a short fuse still. I like to think, Victor is exonerated by the revelations behind the mind barrier, and Chris surely will find it in his heart to rekindle the flame... Hiatus is bad! Even worse when initialised by a cliffie! The only reason Stratos are not being called in, is because of Gustav we can't fully trust them...but why not sic a platinum level elvish guard on the sorry writer?

Don't I just hate people that are all emotional, never even considering to hear the other side.

It might be aNICE touch, to pick Rob up in London, and help him get settled in that LA institution.....

Excellent description of the downward slope with drugs...

Blessed be Ruarri, he of Solaris

And just how did Lester get Mick's car to such a remote place?

Lester is EXACTLY as could be expected, he has always been like this. Only Mick is stupid as fuck and pays for it now...until beings with good noses can track him...perhaps after an alert from a woke waitress

I am still wondering about that first"intervention" of the Fae in Takashi's old home? The glamour never came off Mick, nobody has seen his true shape and face yet...and his inner knot/turmoil, at least the one regarding Lester doesn't seem to have been resolved. So was it a fail, just some hot sex?

Tak could be Tiger, perhaps even a white one...but since Mick could read weres so far, but feels only a comforting void in Tak, maybe he is a Mythical? There be radon's in Asia...who knows

"...Besides, I hadn't eaten supper yet. I could get him off, see him out, and nuke some leftovers. I liked my plan. .." This one had me crack up. Hard. Like floor rollingly hard. Good job!

Good one! I never thought of what Chris would be wearing when appearing in the tower. Now in the Palace! can't have the young Princeling ambling about in pyjamas or boxers and a ratty t shirt!

Ah, just what I needed, when I needed it! A good elven fix....actually my court physician recommended a dose of Surge twice daily again...

I'll try a Kumhakta later. pretty sure I'll sleep much better afterwards!
