"Plllbbbpptt..." Imogen blew air out between her lips and shrugged, "Search me, what Aedrin wants." As far as the witch knew, no mortal had ever spoken with Aedrin, although perhaps the Librarians knew better. Few of the mightiest of the Dragon Gods ever intervened in mortal aff...

Kitty, it transpired, would eat pretty much anything. He did start with the steak's shadow, but after gulping that down he moved on directly to the meat itself. The motions the cat made while eating were precisely identical in both modes of consumption, which didn't bother Imogen but did make her w...

Frost 73, 124 It was a beautiful day, and Imogen Ward was a giant snake. She’d spent the better part of a week now as a snake, and the end of that period was rapidly approaching- the Lieutenant had let her know that the blood vessel’s capacity was almost full last time he’d appeared, and she hoped ...

Kitty stopped as soon as Finn said the word 'treat', his ears perking up and his head jerking up to look at Imogen. His golden eyes were pleading. "...fine." she told Kitty, "You can eat whatever he's willing to give you. But don't eat his shadow, okay? We can't have another incident...

Imogen appeared to be snoozing when Finn took his seat, her chest rising and falling in the rhythms of sleep. From his remove, the gentle snrk-hork-snrk of her soft snoring was just barely audible.

Still, she found herself compelled by matters of security to send a letter t...

Frost 65, 124 “The trick isn’t bleeding.” the witch told her familiar, “It’s easy to exsanguinate yourself. The trick is in not dying afterwards.” “Mrrwl.” Kitty concurred, in a concerned tone of voice. Imogen turned away from the shadowy cat, lounging on his box against the wall of her office and ...

"You sure about that one?" the witch asked, quirking an eyebrow, not at all reacting to the sword held to her face, "That can be less enlightening than confusing- here, watch." The shadows in the room darkened, lengthened, casting every source of light into stark relief. They se...

When Aurin swung the blade at the signpost, it passed through harmlessly as he expected- except that it caught on something . As the man tugged at the blade, a wave of some unfamiliar power ran through it, seeping into the air around him. The shadows deepened, and the light from the sun above grew ...

"No, this is on me." Imogen admitted, "Sunsingers are trained for years before they're initiated, and even then a first duel can go badly. And in Ecith, every child learns from Raxen's devotees. It was a mistake to spring this on a-" Imogen almost said 'a Kalzasaern', but realiz...
