Beliefs
Do you have the same religious beliefs that you had as a child? If so, why? If not, how and why did they change? I’m sure I’ve answered this one before. The Venatori don’t exactly have a religion. We believe that the world was created and this creator made four races – Aeternus, Dragons, Primeval…

Fortune
Fortune? Good luck? Money? Either which definition you use I don’t need or want any of it. I’m not materialistic. I need a roof over my head, head and air conditioning, and food. My possessions, other than furniture, fits into three bags. At most four.
-
Relax
Simplest form of relaxing is yoga. But then any form of exercise is really an exercise in relaxing for me. Whether it’s lifting weights or going for a run, it’s how I wind down at the end of the day. Sometimes even sex counts as relaxing – but it’s more to relieve pent up stress.
-
Outside the Box
Write about what you see as one of your best qualities. My best quality – you mean I have to choose only one? Honestly, I have few qualities I like about myself. I like the fact that I can think outside the box. I was trained inside a box. The Venatori are superior. We police…

Apple Pie
My earliest childhood memory was when I was probably three or four. We lived in a small wooden cabin in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. It was around the holiday season there was snow everywhere on the ground – my mother couldn’t work because she couldn’t leave the house. The roads were so snow…
-
Maddening
Every topic almost always ends up back into the same old rants. I could go on and on about the Venatori beliefs, but I think instead I’ll turn to more personal annoyances – pet peeves.
-
Aspect
Read the scenes first: Aspect – Outside the Club & Aspect – Mysterious Blue-Eyed Boy My night was amazing. I hadn’t expected it to be. It was tradition to go to Aspect with Jace and Mia. They hadn’t been out since Naya was born, so I went reluctantly. I hadn’t been to Aspect in a…
-
Folly
I’m not going to take the typical route with this one. I could tell you all about my foolish childhood, or my beliefs or even ramble on about architecture. But one of the most mundane things I have ever done is to learn to dance. I’m not professional level by any means – but I…
-
Bespoke
In order to find inspiration for this prompt I read some of the others – there was lots of poetry. No offense to the authors – but poetry is so not my thing. Anyway, the first definition of bespeak is “(of an appearance or action) suggest; be evidence of”. There are is a lot of…
-
Flee
“The better part of valor! The better part of valor!” The above quote is a favorite. If you’ve ever played Baulder’s Gate Khalid would shout this as he ran away. The quote is a variation on Shakespeare – yeah me Shakespeare!
-
Guilty Pleasures
I should really know better than getting these types of prompts. But hey that’s what was given to me. I will do my best not go where you expect it to go. Yeah I can’t think of anything. Okay there is one… Guilty Pleasures. However I do not ever feel guilty about them so not…

Head in the Clouds
There was rarely time during the Academy to have my head in the clouds. But I had my dreams – aspirations. My dreams rarely came to me at night. I didn’t dream about my adult glory days. Nightmares plagued my nights, so the little time I had free I rarely thought about my future. I…
-
Tourist
I’ve never considered myself a tourist, though I have been all over the United States, Canada and Mexico. But those are all for work. Being a hunter in the United States means that you tend to travel a lot. I’ve seen both oceans, the gulf of mexico from different points of view. I’ve slept under…
-
Deprive
Being the ward of the Venatori you are deprived of a great many things in life. The first and foremost is the freedom of choice. You are given what you are to wear with no choice. Unless you have a benefactor who cares – which I did not. But it comes with a lot more…

Wrong Answer
Simon and Izzy had danced most of the night away with very little stopping between. She grinned happily at me as she and her boyfriend slipped out without saying good-bye to anyone. Lily had kept an ever watchful eye on Ant until someone approached her and she was off in an instant dealing with whatever…
-
Dancing
When we finally got up and left the room Izzy had grabbed my hand and was leading me towards the door. She grinned back at me, “The others won’t go dancing with me, but you will. Won’t you?” The smile was seductively sweet and I fell into step with her. I wrapped my arm around…
-
The Clave
I had eaten everything else that I’d made. Jace had come back for seconds disappointed. Our night progressed slowly with nothing really to do. Jace and Clary were snuggled up on one of the frilly couches that adorned Magnus’ apartment. Simon and Izzy were luring on the floor entwined in each other’s arms. Alec and…
-
Mountain
It’s not news if you’ve been following me around at all, but I was born in the mountains – Boulder, CO specifically. I don’t remember much about them before I left at the age of 5. What I do remember is watching the mountains grow smaller as we drove to Denver. First them loomed over…
-
Transformation
Like the caterpillar to the butterfly we all make a transformation. My life has gone from one big pile of crap to another pile of crap and on and on until we are today. Such is life. I am no longer that scared little boy who longs for his mother’s love. I am still afraid…
