Nocnitsa
Sounds pretty cool eh? This is the name of a Slavic mythological creature that fits the bill of what taunts my nights. AJ’s gone through many sites and many iterations of what the name of the nightmare was called and settled on nightmare until this one. This one interpretation is perfect! Nocnitsa, also known as…

Persusit
Money has never been a motivator for me. It’s not something the Venatori typically strive for. But obviously we do require money in order to pay for things, we live in the real world after all. (I don’t mean your real world, mine :) ) There are a few individuals who strive after money. Those…

Supernatural Cops
The Venatori started out as a branch of the Aeternus. The ones who policed the supernatural. But the Venatori saw the flaw in the Aeternus. Their small minded thinking, the only thing they had going for them was their immortality. They were stuck in tradition. And before you say well so are the Venatori now.…

Suri
In the past book, Drake called Cass a suri. She took offense to it, and it started a big fight between them. It was explained a little in the story as to what it really was. But I figured I’d go into some details about it. A suri is a derogatory term used to indicate…

Aspect
How cool is it when all the words can line up into a nice run in a post without too much effort. And today is Locations lore day. And since one of the words is actually the name of one of my favorite clubs we’ll do that — Aspect. Aspect is a dance club that…

Nyeti
So AJ was writing the Dragon Hunting short story we are going to release soon, and decided that we needed to have a term for humans who were sensitive to the occult but who were not really part of the supernatural world. Be they a latent path, or an non practicing Wicca, or just have…

TAcet
A little big of world lore, and how AJ came up with it. Which basically is a ‘rip off’ of something in Dragon Age. The idea that a mage can be stripped of their powers making them tranquil. So a Magnus — a person who can wield the elements can be stripped of that ability.…

Religion
Today’s prompt is pious. And it got me thinking about religion in general. The humans have many religions. And I’m not really going to get into it. It’s not worth the problems that it causes. But it makes you wonder what the religion of the vampires and venatori are. Do they have the same gods?…

Theoretical Magic
There is one universal rule to magic. The rule states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed only transformed. Now I hear you saying that’s a science rule – physics and chemistry to be exact. You are right, it’s the law of conservation of energy, and magic is just energy. We, as Venatori, all…

Two Cups of Coffee
Today’s photo prompt is pretty awesome. Coffee! Who doesn’t love coffee. Well AJ doesn’t but she’s an alien. I love my coffee black. Alex likes his with cream and two sugars. That’s how AJ drinks it most days, though she uses a flavored creamer specifically peppermint mocha or a chocolate raspberry truffle coffee she can’t…

The Friendly Ghost
Casper the Friendly Ghost, the friendliest ghost you’ll ever know. Yeah that’s all the song I know. It’s all AJ remembers from her childhood. I know I’ve talked Ghosts before. I’ve talked about them being a marionette. And I’m actually living with a marionette – Ophelia. (Read all about how I got her.) I’ve not…
-
Shedding Some Light
Let me shed some luminescent light on the death of my mother. This is something AJ didn’t really highlight in the story. It’s an underlying fact that she wanted to bring forth but it got lost in the translation somewhere. I didn’t follow her plan. I’m not sure how much ya’ll know about my mother.…

How I Use My Magic
Okay I’ll be honest I googled today’s word. (Well AJ did) Assay – not like essay. I know what that is. To examine or analyize Metallurgy. to analyze (an ore, alloy, etc.) in order to determine the quantity of gold, silver, or other metal in it. This is exactly what I do with my magic.…

Ripples In the Lake
The other day I went on about prophecy. This kinda fits that general theme as well. You toss a stone into a lake and it creates ripples. They are strong at first but they continue moving until the strength of the disturbance is too weak to move the water. If you toss in another right…

Legends
There are tons of myths and legends that run around the human world. For every supernatural occurrence there is some human explanation for it. Vampires and werewolves become tales you tell your kids to scare them. They make movies about them twisting the word of mouth stories even further. And you never really get the…

Never Forget
Elephants never forget? Why is that? Actually don’t answer that I don’t really care. That kinda thing is an actual talent among the Venatori. I know I’ve mentioned it before. Dorian’s photographic memory and all that. He never forgets anything he reads or sees. Which is why he’s so very anal about writing things down.…
