Walker took the paper from me and saw the contact information and the times. He asked me, “Why did you want the times and dates?” “We can use it to pinpoint events that coincide. See what else The Dragon is up to other than robbing banks.” “That’s a wide birth of things to cover.” Walker…

Dinner smells absolutely divine. Real food! Granted I’m not big on game meats, but real food, not bits of fish and rabbit with berries. Today the boys learned all about hunting. The ability to shoot a gun was already known as was the crossbow. But this was the prospect of tracking. They scared away several…

Morning came, Nightmares all that jazz. Yeah, I’m sure you’re sick of hearing all about them. They changed little from last night except to inflict the most damage possible to the kids in my head. I woke with a start and my neck hurt, my back ached but despite the fire having gone out after…

The mountain lion finally got bored around 8 pm and left us for the night. I wasn’t going to sleep well. I didn’t like the fact that it had stuck around all day watching us. It wasn’t natural specially after Trent had shot at it. But that is life. I told Dylan of my concerns.…
-
Tracking is going well. But there isn’t a lot of activity on the ground which is odd. Maybe the prey is wary of us? That mountain lion might be causing more of a ruckus. We could be part of the problem too. Most of the boys are loud when they walk. They haven’t learned the…

The train ride was slow as my mind sorted through the reasons why Dominic would be freaking out. The Dragon was using wolves to do the run around. I was still waiting on Liam to call. I got off the train and headed for the Apex Unlimited building. It was still hot but I would…

I hate my life sometimes. I probably got three hours of sleep thanks to the dumb ass kid who decided to get lost. But does my mind and body let me sleep – not a chance. I don’t need to be up now. Hell, I tried to go back to sleep. Even Dylan rolled back…
-
OMG Dumb ass kid. Lost his compass and his watch, which means he lost his tracker. We spent the better half of the afternoon looking for him. We found his compass near a creek. And the watch under a wayward pine. Trent went back with the boys, they weren’t going to help much with the…
-
Well navigation is going well. The boys all took to the compass like fish out of water. Even James and John listened. Getting lost in the woods didn’t appeal to them. But failing shouldn’t appeal either. But hey not everyone was into that sort of thing. Each of the boys headed off in a different…

I started awake with a hand touching my face. I blinked my eyes to see who was standing above me. The touch was tender, the hand was rough against my skin. Brown eyes stared back at me. I couldn’t in the darkness. Everything was blurred with sleep. The form bent closer and I caught the…
-
I didn’t have time to think about this morning. Trent was already on us when we had come back from calling Dorian. We started with how to make traps first. There were lots of different kinds. But they had to make them all. Rope was the best. But there were holes. One of the more…

An unusual night, still had nightmares – the same one. The same violence. The same feelings. I woke with a start, as I always do. You’d think I’d be used to these dreams after all these years, but the dream wasn’t just me. It was a boy and a girl the same age. There was…

As I took the elevator down I pulled out my phone and I called Sage. I smiled when I heard him answer, “Hey.” I said, “Hey yourself.” I know people in the elevator were looking at me strange, but I didn’t care. “I am going to be in your neck of the woods and was…

It was another busy day. Full of teaching the boys how best to handle injury in the wilderness. Since all venatori are taught to hunt down other supernatural creatures. We had to teach all about how you could get injured, and how you could fix it, or what to do in the event you might…
-
I woke to my nightmares. I bolted upright and I could feel the blood dripping down my back. I hated this feeling. I wove the elements around me and let their healing take affect. The skin knitting together always felt weird. I didn’t like feeling it. But it was necessary. The fires all were dead…
-
While we walked the boys through the forest I kept an eye on Matt and on Dylan. He was acting strange since our morning conversation. He avoided me. Which in and of itself was not unusual, if you take away the fact that since this trip started Dylan had not been avoiding me. I was…
-
I missed Sage. I love hearing his voice even when I didn’t understand a word of what he was doing. Sage was still working when I called. I told him I just wanted to hear his voice, it didn’t matter what he said. So he put his phone in front of his keyboard propped up…
-
Matt sat with me for a good twenty minutes not saying anything. His eyes were downcast like he was avoiding looking at his peers. He looked like he had one too many beat downs too. I felt for him. But I didn’t have any sage advice so I left it be. I just sat with…
-
We are on lunch break and the boys were taught and all three groups found the creek that was a mile’s hike from camp. We informed them of the situation. The pool was for swimming but not drinking. And water was up out of the pool for drinking. I doubted the boys would walk a…

First up-find shelter. The boys have to learn all about wilderness shelters before they can sleep in tents #CampNaNoWriMo #DarwynnsLaw — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 3, 2017 OMG James and John are so …. aggravating! — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 3, 2017 Tho Chris and Patrick are doing a damn good job – listening and…

I’m up. I didn’t bring my sketchbook with me, so this will have to be my nightmare therapy for now. I hate waking up with my heart in my throat and feeling like it’s going to burst out of my chest. I didn’t even try to look at my back this morning, I could feel…
