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…

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…

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…

I woke up in his so-called room back in Brooklyn. I saw the familiar form of Ant sitting by the door. I rolled my eyes, “No one is going to hurt me in my own bed.” Ant turned to look at me with his dark eyes and pointed a finger at me. “You’ve been gone…

Alec had sent his siblings a text. I hadn’t realized that the blonde was his brother as well. Looks could be deceiving I supposed. But neither of them replied, which meant one of two things – they were hell deep in high water, or they were off making out someplace. Since if they were in…

Looking through a kaleidoscope as a child was always fun until I started seeing the same thing in real life around everyone I knew. Humans can sometimes see what they call an Aura. It’s a series of colors and images that define a person. They say it’s how a person is feeling – some can…

Here are some examples of excepts of my drawing journal (Note: these are not actually drawn or created by me or AJ)
-
I am Nox Setanta. I am a Magnus. I am Cesari. I am Minorem. I own these things about myself.
-
I’m your typical teenage male. Or I was with the minor exception that I was a Venatori hunter and Magnus. Our idea of fun isn’t always what you’d consider normal.
-
I like to flirt. It’s part of who I am. But I’m not good with names. I don’t care to remember them so I don’t. It’ snot like I typically see them more than once – typically. So I have a nickname for women – Duckling.

But one of the classic Buffy Halloween episodes featured the scariest thing of all – Bunnies. Anya was a former vengeance demon who was afraid of bunnies. They even referenced it in the Musical episode which was pretty awesome. Anya rocking out to bunnies was funny. We all have our little bunnies.

But for each skill level there is a test. Even when you are an initiate there is a test, but the test is merely a mechanism to determine your power level and what elements you can touch. Most only get one, two at most, four is rare and being able to touch them all at…

Since I was eight or nine years old my favorite spot was the roof of the Apex Unlimited building. The wind high above the city was brisk, the air much cleaner than it was down below. It wasn’t perfect but it was my serenity growing up.

I disagree with a part of the definition. Courage is not the ability to do something difficult, dangerous, painful etc, without fear it is to do it in-spite of that fear. Everyone is afraid of something. I have many fears – some are founded others are just silly to others.

AJ’s got a song on repeat that’s kinda got everyone on the sappy sad side right now. Saturn by Sleeping at Last is beautiful, the words are captivating and inspiring in that sad sort of way. It makes you miss people from your lives, knowing that they made an impact on your life.

If I could write a letter to past me this is what I’d say

Venatori children are much like children ones if they have a loving family. When I was five my favorite toy was my stuffed Mushu dragon. He went everywhere with me. He was my own personal dragon guardian just like in the movie Mulan. He helped me cope with the woes of a 5-year old which…

Things definitely did not go according to plans. But in my honest opinion it’s the better version of the whole story. A final culmination of what AJ has been building. AJ has written the first part of this story a total of 5 times now from scratch each time and each time it keeps changing.…

I’m terrified of needles. I have two tattoos however. The first I got while I was drunk at 16, the other I was on a ceremonial hallucinogen that every Venatori is required to take and the tattoo to get..
