Back On The Board Now

I ran into the Jokers in a park a while ago.

“Hello, Kallaway,” the Black Joker said. “It's time for you to return.”

“Not interested,” I said. “I'm getting sick of all of you.”

“You'd rather stay here, where you're wanted for countless cases of murder?” he asked.

“You have a point, but I'd rather not go to the Board,” I said.

“Tell you what,” the Red Joker said. “Play a game with us. If you win, you can have a few more days off. If we win, you come with us.”

“A few days?” I asked. “That's not much of a prize. What game are you guys thinking?”

They both summoned duel disks. “This one,” the Black Joker said.

“You're joking, right?” I asked, which seems a little redundant, now that I think about who I was talking to.

“Come on, you know you had a thrill when you dueled with Gordon,” he said.

“Is it even possible to play with three people?” I asked.

“My partner and I will share our card zones and life points,” the Red Joker said. “I will go first, you will go next, then the Black Joker will have his turn, then you will have another turn before I go ahead.”

“Sounds complicated,” I said. “Fine, I'll take you two on.”

“Very well,” she said, drawing. “I'll start by summoning Convocation Sparrow from my hand!”

A bird appeared on her side of the field.

“Using Sparrow's effect, I can special summon Convocation Raven!” she said. Another bird. “Since Raven was summoned from my hand, I can bring out another one from my deck.”

She now controlled 3 Convocation cards, each of which was level 3.

“I build the overlay network with these 3 level 3 monsters!” she said. “Come forth, Convocation Nest- The Crow!”

I'd recognize this guy anywhere. Wasn't expecting him to have a card. It had 2200 attack points.

“I end my turn,” she said.

“I draw,” I said. “I summon SlenderProxy Grinning Reaper in attack mode!”

A woman wearing a skull mask appeared. She was wielding a scythe that burns closed any wounds it inflicts. The perfect weapon against Nests. She was level 4 with 1600 attack and 1400 defense.

“Grinning Reaper's attack doubles when she attacks a card with Nest in its name,” I said. “Now, destroy her Crow!”

I know it wasn't really him, but it felt satisfying to see him getting slashed with a burning scythe. They lost 1000 life points from that attack.

“I set a card face down and end my turn,” I said.

“My turn,” The Black Joker said. “I'll start by playing Foolish Burial. This card allows me to send OathBreaker Night Surgeon from my deck to the graveyard. Next, I summon OathBreaker Shadow Stitcher, and by switching him to defense position, I can resurrect my Night Surgeon!”

He now had 2 level 4 Oath Breakers on his field. One was using a Plague Doctor themed deck, and the other was using Convocation cards.

“I activate Night Surgeon's effect,” he said. “Now, I can put a plague counter on your monster. Then, I build an overlay network with my two level 4 monsters to xyz summon OathBreaker Syringe Keeper in attack mode!”

His new monster had 1900 attack, and was armed with several syringes.

“I use Syringe Keeper's effect,” he said. “By detaching an overlay unit, I can place 2 overlay units on one of your monsters.”

One of the overlay units, which orbited his monster in the form of glowing orbs, was absorbed into his monster. It grabbed a couple of syringes and threw them at my Grinning Reaper.

“Shit,” I said out loud. My monster had 3 plague counters, bringing her down to 700 attack.

“Attack,” he ordered. My monster was destroyed and I lost 1200 life points.

“I activate the trap card Proxy Revenge,” I said. “Since one of my Slender Proxies was just destroyed, you take 500 damage.”

“I end my turn,” he said.

“I draw,” I said. “I normal summon SlenderProxy Guardian.”

A monster with 0 attack and 2200 defense appeared. It was carrying a large, makeshift shield.

“Since I just summoned a SlenderProxy card, I can special summon SlenderProxy Thug,” I said. “And by overlaying these 2 level 4 SlenderProxy cards, I can xyz summon SlenderProxy Enhanced!”

This new monster was a muscular looking guy with 2000 attack and 1800 defense.

“I detach one of his overlay units to increase his attack by 1000 until the end phase,” I said. “Now, destroy his OathBreaker!”

My monster destroyed his and they lost 1100 life point. They were now at 5400.

“I activate Syringe Keeper's effect,” he said. “Since he was destroyed in battle, your monster gains 3 plague counters.”

“I end my turn,” I said.

“My turn,” the Red Joker said. “I summon Convocation Hummingbird, and with it's effect I summon Convocation Kestrel. And when Kestrel is special summoned, its level increases by 1.”

She now had a level 1 monster and a level 4 monster.

“I tune level 1 Convocation Hummingbird to my level 4 Convocation Kestrel!” she said. “With these two monsters I synchro summon my level 5 Convocation Frostwing Falcon!”

A large white falcon appeared. The air grew increasingly cold once it appeared. It had 2200 attack and 1200 defense.

“Once per turn, I can have my Falcon reduce the attack of a monster you control by 500,” she said. My Enhanced was suddenly coated in ice. That, and the plague counters, brought it down to 600 attack points. “Attack his monster!” she ordered. I lost 1600, bringing me down to 5200. “I end my turn.”

I drew my card. “I activate Fear Arises! At the cost of half my life points, I can special summon Slender Man from my hand!”

I had the edge now.

“I activate the equip spell Dark Demotion,” I said. “And I'll equip it to your Falcon, reducing its level by 2. Now, Slender Man, attack!”

Her monster was destroyed and they lost 300 life points.

“I activate Slender Man's effect,” I said. “Since he just destroyed a level 4 or lower monster, It becomes a SlenderProxy Hallowed, and I gain control of it. Now, I'll attack you directly with your own monster!”

The falcon hit her, and their life points went down to 2900.

“I set a card face down and end my turn,” I said.

“I draw,” The Black Joker said. “I activate the spell card Fear Summoning. I banish OathBreaker Shadow Stitcher and Night Surgeon to normal summon my Plague Doctor without tributing!”

Flashback. This totally reminded my of that time I dueled against Gordon.

“I activate his effect,” he said. “Now each of your monsters gains a plague counter, and he gains 100 attack for each of them.”

So his monster had 2400 attack, and mine had 2200 and 1900.

“Attack his Slender Man!” he said.

“I activate the trap card Hallowed Interception!” I said. “Now my SlenderProxy Hallowed can take the hit for Slender man, and I get to draw a card.”

I lost 500 life points, and the Falcon was destroyed. But I had protected my most powerful monster.

“I set a card face down and end my turn,” he said.

“My move,” I said, drawing. “I summon SlenderProxy Hacker, and I'll use his effect to revive SlenderProxy Thug.”

“What's the point to that?” he asked.

“I use the spell card Slender Man's Gift,” I said. “I pay 500 life points, then I can draw one card for each card I control with Slender or SlenderProxy in its name. That adds up to 3.”

I drew 3 cards from my deck.

“Next, I tune level 1 SlenderProxy Hacker to my level 4 SlenderProxy Thug to synchro summon my SlenderProxy Supporter!”

A man appeared on my side of the field, with 2000 attack and 1300 defense.

“I use his effect,” I said. “Now my Slender Man gains 1200 attack this turn, and I'll have him attack your Plague Doctor.”

The attack hit and he lost 1100 life points.

“I can't attack with Supporter this turn, so I'll set a card and end my turn,” I said.

“I draw,” the Red joker said. “I activate the effect of the Convocation Herin in my hand. Since you control 2 more monsters than I do, I can special summon it!”

Another bird appeared. It was level 5, with 1800 attack points.

“Next, I normal summon Convocation Quail,” she said.

This one was level 4, with 1300 attack.

“I use Quail's effect,” she said. “Now, I can reduce Herin's level by 1. And I'll build the overlay network with these two level 4 Convocation cards to xyz summon Convocation Nest- The Faceless Bastard!”

I've heard of this guy. An insane Nest, who shows no mercy.

“I'm not finished yet,” she said. “Since my life points are less then 2000, I can build a new overlay network using the Faceless Bastard, turning him and his overlay units into the overlay units for a new monster! Come forth, Deadly Nest- Ashen Phoenix!!!”

This new monster wore a different mask, and was wielding the same burning scythe that the Grinning Reaper used. And its overlay units took the shape of flaming birds instead of the usual glowing orbs. He had 2500 attack.

“I activate the spell card Overlay Regen,” she said. “Now I can add this spell card to Ashen Phoenix as an additional overlay unit. And by removing all of his overlay units, I can have him gain 500 attack for each of them until the end phase.”

Shit. 4500 attack points. I was in trouble.

“I attack your SlenderProxy with my Ashen Phoenix!” she said.

“I activate the effect of SlenderProxy Medic!” I said. “By discarding it, I can prevent any damage I would take from this battle!”

“Too bad for you, Ashen Phoenix is allowed to attack all of your monsters!” she said. “Attack his Slender Man!”

“I activate the trap card Fear Fury!” I said. “Now, a Fear monster I control gain attack equal to its level times 200. No my Slender Man had 3800 attack.”

My life points became 900. I barely survived that. Since Slender Man's a Fear, he managed to survive too.

“I set a card face down and end my turn,” she said.

“I draw,” I said. “I activate Pot Of Avarice, allowing me to return My Hacker, Thug, Medic, Supporter, and Enhanced to my deck and extra deck in order to draw 2 cards. Then, I use monster reborn to bring back Grinning Reaper. And I'll have her attack Ashen Phoenix! Since he's a Nest, she gains a power bonus.”

3200 attack point Proxy vs. a 2500 attack point Nest. I won, and they went down to 1100 life points.

“I activate Ashen Phoenix's effect,” she said. “When he's destroyed, I can special summon Convocation Phoenix!”

Damn. Wasn't expecting that to happen.

“I set a card face down and end my turn,” I said.

“My turn,” the Black Joker said. “From my hand, I use the spell card fissure, allowing my to destroy your Grinning Reaper!”

“Then I use the trap card Call Of The Haunted!” the Red Joker said. “With it, I bring back the Plague Doctor!”

“And I'll use the trap card Medicine Of Broken Oaths,” he said. “I discard an OathBreaker card and gain life points equal to its attack. I discard OathBreaker Plague Master to gain 3000 life points. Then I use Plague Doctor's effect to place another counter on Slender Man,” he said. “Now, I'll attack with both our monsters!”

“I activate Negate Attack!” I said.

“Congratulations,” he said. “You've bought yourself another turn. But do you really think you can win? Your Slender Man is weakened, and we control 2 Fears. You're powerless.”

“Shut up!” I yelled at him. “I'm sick of both of you! I'm an Enhanced! I don't back down, even when I'm obviously overpowered! I won't surrender, and I sure as hell won't lose!”

Then something really weird happened. My deck started glowing for a few seconds, then stopped.

“I end my turn,” he said.

“I draw!” I said. I looked at the card, and realized that it was a new card. It had never been in this deck before.

“If I control Slender Man, I can bring out this new guy!” I said. “Come forth, Slender Dragon!”

A huge, yet thin dragon appeared. It was pitch black from the shoulders down, and its white head had no facial features at all. Its black wings where paper thin and torn in places. It was level 10 with 3000 attack and 2500 defense.

“I activate the spell card Tune Down!” I announced. “Now, Slender Dragon has its level reduced by two, and any monster I synchro summon or xyz summon with it gains 600 attack points. Now, I build the overlay network with these two level 8 monsters to xyz summon Chaos Slender Man!”

I felt the universe quake as I summoned it. A towering abomination, with uncountable tentacles and arms. The Jokers fell back in terror at its presence. It was powerful, with 3300 attack, which went up to 3900 due to Tune Down's effect.

“I use his effect!” I said. “By detaching one of his overlay units, I can convert Convocation Phoenix into a SlenderProxy Hallowed and gain control of it!”

The tentacles entangled the Phoenix, pumping full of dark energy and dragging it to my side of the field.

“Now, I'll have the Phoenix attack the Plague Doctor!” I said. They went down to 3500. “I attack directly with Chaos Slender Man!” I said. The tentacles lashed out, striking them both and reducing their life points to 0.

The battle field cleared and they approached me.

“Good job,” the Black Joker said.

“I don't get something,” I said, holding the Slender Dragon card in my hand. “Where did this card come from? Where did any of these cards come from? Why do these Fear themed Yu-Gi-Oh cards exist?”

Suddenly, a blade of energy stabbed me from behind, going straight through my chest, and a voice I recognized as Jack's whispered in my ear, saying “You can blame me for that.”

I blacked out, and when I came too, I was back on the Board. The Ace Of Hearts had treated my wound as best as she could, but since it was inflicted by Jack's Blade, it had taken a while. I had been unconscious for days, apparently.

Anyway, I met the Scientist. He's an old, creepy guy, and I have an assignment with him soon. Great.

Bloodying Up The Biker

I met the owner of this house. His name's Zack Waters. After a talk with him, I learned that he's being tormented by the Bloody Biker. I agreed to help him with the problem. So I waited for him to show up. Didn't take long. I saw outside the house this morning and went to confront him.

"Why are you tormenting this guy?" I demanded.
"I'm just havin' fun," he said. "Why do you care?"
"Leave him alone," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "You're gonna stick up for some random weakling?"
"Leave him alone," I repeated, wrapping my hand around my sword's hilt.
"Fine, fine," he said, turning around and starting to walk away. "I'll leave him alone." Then, he turned back to me and shouted "Psych!"

He then jumped into his realm and reappeared in front of me with a huge blade in each hand. We started fighting. I'm strong, but with his speed and strength, he was still a tough opponent. After a while, I started to get tired.

"Use the Brute's power!" I heard. I looked and saw that the Devil Killer was watching us from the sidelines.
"What do you mean!?" I yelled back at him. "I can't control that kind of power!"
"I've seen you control it!" he yelled back at me. "Just do it!"

I closed my eyes for a moment. I heard the voice again. Ferratus, his fetters freshly forged. Break the chains and unleash the beast within. I opened my eyes again, and my body began glowing red. I fought back, and managed to slash Damien pretty badly across the chest. Then I sliced his leg too. He fell over, and I prepared to stab him through the chest when another voice in my head spoke up. Do allow it to flow wildly. You can use this power without losing yourself. I stopped myself.

"As I said," I told him, as the red light faded. "Leave him alone."
He got and said "Fine. I'm out of here." He started leaving, then he turned back and tossed me a new watch. "The Game Master said to give you this. Come back whenever you're ready."

The Devil Killer had left by this point. I'm gonna stay with Zack for a bit longer. I don't really wanna see the Game Master or any of his servants right now.

Kind Of Complicated

I was somewhere in West Canada when she attacked me. A woman made of fire. It was the Burning Bride. I've only ever heard rumors of her, and meeting her in person was a lot scarier than I could have imagined. And to make it worse, she was accompanied by Nightlanders.

I lost consciousness at some point. While I was out, I had another dream. It was about the Ace Of Chaos, but this time I wasn't seeing through his eyes. I was looking at him as if I were a bystander. He a little under six feet, and wore a full face mask with a single eye hole. I guess he got more than just a scar from his fight with the Ace Of Spades. He was walking through the desert with one of the Scions.

"Where are we going exactly?" the Ace Of Chaos asked.
"We're going to the second layer," the Scion said.
"The hell is that, Dyson?" he asked.
"It's the place where you will gain a new power," Dyson said.
"What power?" the Ace asked.

Dyson turned and raised his hand. Flames appeared from no where and began to circle around it.

"This power," he said.
"Whoa," the Ace Of Chaos said, whistling. "Neat."
"I should warn you, though," Dyson said. "This power threatens the sanity of those who use it. Even I have trouble keeping myself composed. There are few people who can handle it."
"And you think I have what it takes?" the Ace Of Chaos said.
"My mistress saw something in you," he said. "Something I would be blind not to see as well. I believe you have the persistence necessary to wield this weapon. Now, are you ready to proceed to the next layer?"
"If it will bring me closer to revenge, then yes," the Ace Of Chaos said.
"Very well," Dyson said. "We're almost there."

And then the dream ended. i was in the middle of a vast, grassy field. It seemed kind of peaceful. That is, until I noticed the river. It was pure blood. I had to bend over the river to be sure. When I looked up again, there was a giant elephant made of wood watching me from the other side.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked, even though I was seemingly alone.
"You're in your subconscious," A voice said. I turned around and saw the Devil Killer standing there.
"You!" I said. "Explain this! What the hell is going on!?"
"Well, you lost your fight with the Bride and passed out," he said. "Now you're here, inside your own mind."
"Okay, then I have a few questions," I said.
"Shoot," he said.
"First, why was she after me?" I asked.
"Well, that one should be easy," he said. "It's because of that."

He pointed up to the sky, and as I turned my head up, I saw a massive red orb, filled with swirling clouds of smoke and wrapped in chains.

"Is that what I think it is?" I asked.
"That's the shard of the Brute sealed inside you," he said. "The Burning Bride seeks to resurrect it, and the Nightlanders are aiding her, as they mean to use it's power in their grand scheme."
"Grand scheme?" I asked.
"They want to recreate the plagues of Egypt," he said.
"Okay, moving on," I said. 'If this is my subconscious, why are you here?"
He laughed. "I possess the ability to absorb the powers of Fears when in their presence," he said. "I can never become as powerful as they are, but I've spent enough time around the Reverie to learn his tricks."
"You can control dreams?" I asked.
"That's one of my abilities," he said. "I pulled you away from those Fears, then entered your mind so that I could explain this all to you."
"Okay, last question," I said. "And I want you to answer it truthfully, and entirely."
"I have a feeling I know where this is going," he said. "Go on then."
"Who are you?" I asked. "Really."
"Do you remember when I asked you to intercept the hallowfication of that man?" he asked. "There was a boy there about your age, with shoulder length brown hair and a vest."
"Yeah, I remember him," I said. Then it hit me. "You... you're him!"
"Sort of," he said. "I'm him, from fifteen years into the future."
"You're a time traveler?" I asked.
"Not really," he said. "It's complicated. My name is Daniel Ferris, and I've come here to prevent your old boss from destroying the world."
"Slender Man... destroys the world?" I asked.
"In my future, yes," he said. "All the Fears played their hands in the apocalypse, but he was the worst of them. My friends, family, rivals... they were all killed by him. I despise him more than any of the other Fears. I came here to try and set destiny on the right path."


Then he was gone. I woke up sometime after that. I war house, in an unfamiliar bed. I think I saw Daniel standing on top of a street light and watching me from the window, but he was gone before I had time to double take. My bag with my lap top in it was lying next to my bed. I started typing this up. Now... I guess I'll try to figure out where the hell I am. I'll update later.

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.
