Wrong Side Of The Law

I learned last night about what happened to Blair. I saw the posts. I was shocked. Blair didn't deserve that.

I should have tried to suppress it. I was stupid to let my anger get out of hand like that. I should have stopped when I heard the Brute's voice in my head. I let my rage consume my heart, and I blacked out.

When I regained my mind, I was in the middle of a crowded street. But it wasn't crowded with people. Not living people, anyway.


Bodies. Everywhere. slaughtered, chopped up, bloody. And I knew as soon as I looked down at my blood soaked sword who had down it.

I was almost immediately surrounded by police. They had their guns all trained on me, and I heard one of them say into a megaphone "David Kallaway! Put down the weapon and put your hands on your head!"

Shit. They knew who I was. I had to try and make a break for it. I looked around me. There was an alleyway a few yards away I could run down, but there was no way I could get there before they pulled their triggers.

I only had one escape route. One I wanted to avoid using. I took a deep breath and entered the Path Of Black Leaves. In hindsight, I might have been better off with the cops.

When I entered the Path, He was there. He attacked. His tentacles lashed themselves around my throat, and he threw me into the trees. I gripped my sword and rushed at him. Another tentacle whipped me across the chest and sent me flying again. I got up and started running. I made it a little while before he cut me off and whipped me with several tentacles. I was knocked to the ground, and my sword slid away from me. Another of his tentacle shot down and stabbed straight through my left wrist, breaking my watch and pinning me there.

Now, before I continue, there's something I wanna bring up real quick. You see, the Path Of Black Leaves is connected to the normal world, but distance works differently than normal. A few feet in the Path equals a couple dozen feet in the normal world. Something like that, I don't know exactly. Proxies sometimes use the path to get out of tight spots in the normal world, but it works both ways. I was stuck in that dangerous situation, and it suddenly occurred to me that I could use the human world to escape.

I vanished from the Path. I was suddenly in the middle of a closed library. I got up and ran to end of the aisle. I passed back into the Path briefly and picked up my sword, before returning to the library. I broke the door down and started running.

Police were still looking for me. I had some trouble getting back to the hotel to retrieve my laptop. When I started to leave with it, I saw him again. I turned and ran out the back. I kept seeing him him as I ran through the city. I stuck to the alleyways. I had been running for a while when Jack appeared.

"Hello, David," he said. "Are you having fun?"
"What are you doing here?" I demanded.
"I've come to see this new event unfold," he said. "I honestly wasn't expecting you to gain the Brute's power, and seeing the trouble it's causing you is quite amusing."
"I'm leaving," I said, turning around.

He was standing right there. Stuck between Slender Man and the Jack of All. Not the place you want to be, especially when both of them want you dead. Slender Man sprouted his tentacles. Jack summoned this glowing blade made of energy. I was screwed. Then my sword started glowing with that weird light. I knew what to do. I slashed through the air and entered the Streams Of Destiny.

I'm in the next town over right now, but I doubt it'll be long before the police spread there search here. I'll have to keep moving, or else I'll be in huge trouble. Because if I'm locked up, I'll be vulnerable.

If any of the other Emissaries are reading this, I need help. Seriously.

Schle's Safe

They found Blair. I'm relieved. Schle's hurt badly, but at least schle's alive. And from what I remember from the tournament, schle should be able to pull through this. Also, if I ever meet that Daisy Chains creep, I'll give her a good talking to. With my sword. And fire.



I haven't had any dreams since my last post. Like, literally, not a single dream. I go to sleep, then wake up, with nothing happening in my head in between. I have no idea what's going on with the Vision, but I know she has a reason for doing this.


I know I should be getting back to work now that Blair's in good hands, but screw it, I'm taking an extended vacation and I'd like to see the Game Master try and stop me.

More Dreams

I've had 4 more of those dreams since my last post.

In the first dream, The Ace Of Chaos was with the Vision. She was sleeping, and there were two small figures lying beside her. Babies. She had given birth. I was still seeing through his eyes. He was just sitting there, watching them sleep. Then he heard a noise outside. He grabbed a sword lying next to the bed and approached the door. He peered through a crack in the door. A man in a mask was walking down the hallway. As he passed, I got a look at the mask. It was the Ace Of Spades mask. But not the Ace Of Spades that I've met. This was a different one. A clawed hand rested itself on the Ace Of  Chaos's shoulder. He turned and faced her.

"Take them and go," she said. "I'll take care of him."
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I'm sure," she replied. "Find my Scions. they can help you."

He placed the children in a basket and snuck down a trap door. That was the end of that dream.

In the next dream, The Ace Of Chaos had found his way to some kind of secret underground meeting hall. Three people were there. They all appeared to be cultists, and were wearing hoods tha concealed most of their faces in shadows. There was a woman, and two men. The woman seemed to be in charge.

"You're the Scion's right?" the Ace Of Chaos asked.
"Yes," the woman said. "And you must be the man who courted our master."
"Umm, yeah," he said, scratching his hair. "This is kind of awkward."
"Not at all," she replied. "Dyson, show him and the children to their chamber."
"Yes, Miera," one of the men said.

The Ace Of Chaos followed him. They came to a chamber which had been prepared with a bed and two cribs.

"We prepared this room for you," the man said. "Sleep well."
"Will she be all right?" the Ace Of Chaos asked.
"She is a God Of Darkness," the man said. "Few enemies would have a chance against her."
"What if that enemy was the Game Master?" the Ace Of Chaos asked.
"Where did you hear about him?" the man asked.
"She speaks of him sometimes," the Ace Of Chaos said.
"This is troubling," the man said. "Please excuse me. I must speak with the other Scions."

That's when that dream ended. The 3rd dream was different. I wasn't seeing through his eyes this time.

I was looking down at a scene. The Game Master was confronting the Vision in the middle of a desert.

"You will pay for what you've done," the Game Master said, angrily.
"I see no problem with my actions," she said.
"You have broken the game's rules!" he yelled at her.
"Where in the rules does it forbid what I did, Game Master?" she asked.
"Enough of this!" he said, transforming his cloak into bats, and then a sword. He charged at her, and their fight began.

It dragged on for a while, until the Game Master slashed her across the stomach. She collapsed, clutching her wound and coughing up blood. He stood over her.

"Why?" he said, choking on his words as if he were crying. "I loved you! How could you choose him over me!?"
She glared angrily up at him. "Because you're a monster!" she hissed.

His body shook with anger. He raised the sword, and then brought it down on her skull. he then collpsed to his knees. A few minutes later, the Jokers appeared.

"Master?" the Red Joker asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," he said, getting to his feet. "Gather my Emissaries. I have a new job for them."
"What is it you need?" the Black Joker asked.
"I want them to hunt down all that is left of her," the Game Master said. "Her Scions, her children, every thing. I want her gone from this universe."
"M-Master?" the Black Joker said nervously.
"DO as I said!" he shouted. "Have them all killed! Except for that cretin you fell for her! I want him alive! I want to make him suffer by my own hand!"

And then that dream ended. In the fourth dream, I was seeing through the Ace Of Chaos again. It was late at night, in the chamber. He bolted upright, suddenly woken from his sleep. He grabbed his sword and ran out the door, nearly crashing into one of the men from the second dream.

"What's going on?" he asked.
"She's gone!" the Ace Of Chaos exclaimed. "I felt it. The Game Master killed her!"
"I know," the man said. "I felt it as well."
"Listen to me Dyson," the Ace Of Chaos said. "I want you to take the children somewhere safe. His minions will be here soon."
"What about you?" he asked.
"I'm going to stay," the Ace Of Chaos said, gripping his sword. "I'm going to issue him a warning."

the man, Dyson, took the children through a portal. The next few hours passed, and a couple of Emissaries barged into the chamber. One of them had tattoos all over his face, and could summon explosive balls of energy, and the other one wasn't wearing a shirt, had a shaved head, and could control rocks. The Ace Of Chaos killed them both with some difficulty. Then the Ace Of Spades showed up out of no where and slashed the Ace Of Chaos across his left eye, blinding him partially. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

"Don't go dying fro that measly injury," the Ace Of Spades said. "The Game Master wants you alive."
"Tell the Game Master something," the Ace Of Chaos said, leaping up and stabbing his sword through the other Ace's chest. "Tell him I'm not going down easy."

And that's when that dream ended.

I got a message a couple hours ago from the ace of Clubs. The Ace Of Chaos is dead. He used a self destruct feature in his mask to kill himself along with a Dying Man piece. I guess I won't have to worry about him any more.

Which means I can focus on Blair now. Schle was captured by a Willing Doll, and is being held in the Screaming Tower. Unfortunately, there are only a few ways for me to get in there, none of which aren't safe.

I'm going to post the best option I know here, in case Blair's companions find this blog, and are brave enough to give it a try. Some pathways, such as the Path Of Black Leaves, are connected to every other domain. Which means that if you could get into one of the other domains somehow, you could use it to get to the Screaming Tower. It's a dumb thing to try, but it could be the only option.

All Of These Dark Dreams Gotta Mean Something

This past week, I've been having dreams. Visions. Memories from someone else. In each dream, I was seeing through some one else's eyes, as events happened.

In the first dream, the Vision appeared before the person I was seeing through. She looked in his eyes, and showed him his destiny... his death. Then it began happening. The event she showed him began to occur, but he saw it coming and was able to barely avoid it.

The next night, she showed him another vision. Another death. Once again, he escaped.

This occurred 4 more times.

Then, just last night, she showed him a vision so complex, that he couldn't survive. No matter how he dodged, or what he did to try and avoid his death, he would fall. And then it came around, but he wasn't afraid. He faced his fate head-on, and fought it. He was almost killed, but by some stoke of luck, he survived it.

She appeared before him again, as he was struggling to his feet.

"You surprise me," she said. "You've defied your destiny, no matter what is shown to you."
"Wasn't to hard," he replied weakly, but still cocky for some reason. Either he was fearless or stupid.
"You are strong," she said. "I would like you to put your strength and persistence to use."
"What do you mean?" he asked, slowly approaching her.
"I would like you to become my Scion," she said. "A piece of my mind shall be sealed within you. You shall gain my power, and do my bidding."
He laughed. He was almost face-to-face with her. "I don't really like the idea of servitude," he said. "If it's all the same to do, I think I'll pass on the whole 'Scion' thing."
"You should consider it a reward for resisting your destiny for so long," she said. They were close enough to see each other's eyes now.
"Becoming a servant isn't really what I'd consider a reward," he said, still moving slowly closer to her.
"And what would you like?" she asked him.
"I can think of one thing," he said.

And then he... well, he kissed her. And that's when I woke up.

I know exactly what these dreams are about. The guy in the dreams- the guy whose eyes I'm seeing through- it's the Ace Of Chaos. The Vision is showing me his past.
