#Sweet Demi Lune

[formeryelpers]

Sweet Demi Lune, 3600 Ocean View Blvd, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91208

Sweet Demi Lune, a French style viennoiserie, recently opened in downtown Montrose. There isn’t much variety yet – baked goods include croissants, cookies, tarts, and beverages, but their butter croissants are heavenly. Everything looked delicious.

Butter croissant ($4): a big, flaky, buttery treat. Crumbs fell off with every bite. The layers of pastry were paper thin and the exterior was light, crispy, and butter. The interior was softer.

Kouign amann ($3.75): relatively inexpensive and smaller than the croissant. The top was caramelized but the bottom was not. The combination of buttery layers and caramelized sugar was delicious but I think the KA needed more caramelization.

There’s a 3% surcharge for credit cards. Parking was easy to find in the public parking lot. The interior looked clean and bright but there wasn’t much décor.

🌙 Meet Lune, “God” of the Moon 🌙

Lune is a character that was inspired by liminal spaces, especially those centered around the night! He’s mainly found in an area that is constantly night time, in a manor floating on the clouds. They’re a mysterious entity that keeps to themselves most the time and rarely open up.

Some main notes:

• Demi-Male He/They

•Cannot stand being in the same room as Basker for long periods of time,, they’re complicated,,

•He’s often in his manor completing notes of unfound land. That or he’s in his garden reading a book for fun

•He’s often in his own world, literally, and is rarely hanging out with the other entities. He prefers solitude and quietness.

•He’s never had a stable relationship, other than whatever him and Basker have

•Dusk is like a younger sibling to him, they are like an apprentice! Lune is always protecting them from the smallest thing, he’s says he’d never be a father but Dusk is an exception

Relationships:

•Basker - “I can’t put my finger on how I feel about home. One day we’re wasting we love each other and the next day we treat each other like colleagues. I hate him sometimes..

•Esmee - Basker’s daughter, she’s an odd one but I adore her nonetheless the less. She is more tolerable than her daughter I’ll give her that

• Dusk -They’re sweet, I can’t help but feel bad for them. She’s the youngest out of my and Basker by a few hundred years yet I feel the need to protect him from the smallest things

More TBA

    “In the beginning, there was only ocean. Until the Mother Island, Te Fiti, emerged. Her Heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. And Te Fiti shared it with the world,” Uncle Tiergan tells the village children, sitting cross-legged in their school hut. 

    “But, in time, some began to seek Te Fiti’s Heart. They believed if they could possess it, the great power of creation would be theirs. And, one day, the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it.”

    Fitz leans forward, hanging on to every word his Uncle Tiergan says. 

    “O ia was a demi-god of the wind and sea. O ia was a warrior. A trickster. A shapeshifter who could change form with the power of lona fishhook. And lona name was Keefe. But without her Heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness. Keefe tried to escape but was confronted by another who sought the Heart. Te Kā!”

    The schoolchildren gasp. 

    “A demon of earth and fire. Keefe was struck from the sky, never to be seen again. Lona magical fishhook and the Heart of Te Fiti were lost to the sea. Where, even now, a thousand years later, Te Kā and the demons of the deep still hunt for the heart. Hiding in a darkness that will continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island until every one of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death!”

    Linh screams in fear, hiding her face in faer brother’s shoulder while Jensi faints. 

    Fitz claps.

    “But one day, the Heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef, find Keefe, deliver ia across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti’s Heart and save us all.”

    Just like after every story Uncle Tiergan tells, Fitz finds a way to slip away to the shore. This time he finds a nice, semi-translucent green rock in the sand and throws it repeatedly up into the air. 

    Before long, his parents locate him here, once again. 

    “Fitz! There you are.” Mom exclaims. “Come back from the shore.”  

    “Just a little longer?” Fitz asks. 

    Mom smiles softly and crouches next to him. “Your village needs you, dear. Remember, you will be the new chief of Motunui soon.”

    No pressure. 

    Dad adds, “You’ll do wonderous things, but first you must learn where you are.” 

    He offers a hand to help Fitz stand up, turning him to face the island he’s known all his life. Fitz sighs. 

“Tamaiti, anei, anei

Tamaiti, it’s time you knew 

The village of Motunui is all you need

The dancers are practicing

They dance to an ancient song

(Who needs a new song? This old one’s all we need) 

This tradition is our mission

And, Tamaiti, there's so much to do (make way)

Don't trip on the taro root, that's all you need

We share everything we make (we make)

We joke and we weave our baskets (ah-ha)

The fishermen come back from the sea”

“I wanna see…”

“Don't walk away

Tamaiti, stay on the ground now

Our people will need a chief and there you are

There comes a day

When you're gonna look around

And realize happiness is where you are

Consider the hua-nati (the what?)

Consider its tree

We use each part of the hua-nati, that's all we need

We make our nets from the fibers

The water is sweet inside

We use the leaves to build fires

We cook up the meat inside

Consider the coconuts

The trunks and the leaves (hah)

The island gives us what we need

“And no one leaves…?”

That's right, we stay

We're safe and we're well provided

And when we look to the future, there you are

You'll be okay

In time you'll learn just as I did

You must find happiness right where you are”

    Over the years, Fitz tries to escape to the ocean dozens and dozens of times. Sometimes it’s successful, sometimes not so much. 

    But Uncle Tiergan is always there when he needs him. The only one who really understands. 

“I like to dance with the water

The undertow and the waves

The water is mischievous, ha! I like how it misbehaves

The village may think I'm crazy

Or say that I drift too far

But once you know what you like, well, there you are

You are your father's tama, 

Stubbornness and pride

Mind what he says but remember

You may hear a voice inside

And if the voice starts to whisper

To follow the farthest star

Tamaiti, that voice inside is who you are”

        But before long, Fitz is always drawn back to his future chief duties, whatever that might be this time. And he starts to accept that’s how life is. 

“We make our nets from the fibers

The water is sweet inside

We use the leaves to build fires

And cook up the meat inside

The village believes in us (hah, that's right)

The village believes (hah)

The island gives us what we need

And no one leaves”

“So here I'll stay

My home, my people beside me

And when I think of tomorrow, there we are

I'll lead the way

I'll have my people to guide me

We'll build our future together where we are

'Cause every path leads you back to where you are

You can find happiness right te kāinga

Te kāinga”

    “I’m really looking forward to this performance, Wylie,” King Kesler says, backstage of the most beautiful amphitheatre in Atlantica. 

   “Your Majesty, this will be the finest concert I have ever conducted. Your children, they will be spectacular!” Wylie says, clenching and unclenching his crab claws to help dissipate his nerves. 

    “Yes, and especially my little Dexter.”

    “Yes, yes. Xe has the most beautiful voice.” Wylie agrees, muttering under his breath, “If only xe’d show up for rehearsals once in a while.”

    King Kesler nods to Terik, a stagehand who is oddly good at getting the room quiet, and he announces, “Let the royal festivities begin!” 

    Perfectly on cue, each of King Kesler’s children begin. 

“Ah, we are the children of Kesler,

great father who loves us and named us well

Bexlee… 

Alastar…. 

Rexander… 

Neasa… 

Wexford… 

Frexster… 

And then there is the youngest in xor musical debut

Our seventh little brother

we're presenting xem to you

to sing a song Wylie wrote

Xor voice is like a bell

Xe’s our brother, Dext--”

Dex laughs. “Come on, Soph. Don’t be a guppy.” Xe swims around a sunken canoe, rummaging around inside the bags that were brought down with it, and finding almost nothing interesting. 

    “There is a whole skeleton. Right there. Maybe I don’t want to be next.” Soph argues, pointing with one of his blue pectoral fins. “Besides, what if the humans find us?” Soph gasps. “What if your Dad finds us?”

    “Eh, he won’t find us. We’re way too close to the surface.”

    “He has his reasons, you know. You remember what happened to your Mom. He doesn’t just enjoy telling you not to do things.”

    Xe sighs. “Maybe he’s right. Maybe there is something the matter with me.” Dex triumphantly raises a dinglehopper above xor head before stuffing it into xor own bag. “I just don’t see how a world that makes such beautiful things…could be bad...” 

“Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? 

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the boy

The boy who has everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think

‘Sure, xe’s got everything’

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs?

I've got twenty!

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'

Walking around on those, what do you call 'em?

Oh, feet

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down the, what's that word again?

Street

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free, wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?

Bet'cha on land they understand

Bet they don't reprimand their children

Bright young mermen, sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

What's a fire and why does it, what's the word?

Burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world”

    Dex breaches the surface, soaking in the warm rays of sunlight and the soft breeze shaking the coconut trees. The faint sounds of everyday conversation echo towards xem, and xe tries to make sense of the snippets of sentences that make their way out here. 

    There’s also a dark-haired boy sitting on the shore that xe’s seen a few times, waves lapping at his…why can’t xe ever remember this..?

   It doesn’t come to xem before the island starts yelling, and Dex is just barely able to make out what they’re saying. 

    The boy on the shore stands up and runs out of view, demanding. “What’s going on?”

    “It’s the coconuts. They’re black.” Answers a feminine voice. 

    Someone else says, “Te Kā’s poison has finally reached Motunui.” There’s something vaguely familiar about it, but Dex can’t quite figure out why. 

    “Fitz, how should we handle this?” asks an authoritative voice that Dex would’ve thought would be the one deciding what to do without the context of the rest of the conversation. 

    “We should clear out the diseased trees and start a new crop…over there,” answers another voice, and Dex guesses it’s the boy from the beach but isn’t totally sure. 

    “Great idea,” a feminine voice, probably the one from before, says. 

    “See, this suits you.” Dex is fairly sure that’s the authoritative voiced man. 

    The boy wanders back to the shore, along with an older man, maybe a parent?

    “Is that really true, uncle? About Te Kā’s poison?”

    Ah, so it’s his uncle. I was close. 

    “You’ll see. One day, sooner than later, the Heart of Te Fiti will be found.” That’s the oddly familiar voice. 

    Another man of the approximate age as the familiar one storms in. “Brother, what stories are you telling Fitz now?”

    The cute guy’s name is Fitz. Noted. I can almost hear Wylie yelling at me for being an idiot right now. 

    “Oh hush. What’s the harm in a little story?”

    Fitz slips away back into the treeline, and his father calls after him, “Fitz, you are the future of our people. And they are not out in the ocean. They are right here. It’s time for who they need you to be.”

    Dex decides to swim around, and see if there’s anything more interesting than two brothers squabbling. If xe wanted to do that, xe would have just stayed on the ocean floor. 

    Xe finds Fitz on the far side of the island, talking to a girl holding on to his elbow with long, dark hair, perhaps a bit younger than him. They’re in the middle of a conversation, so context would have been nice. 

    “What about the other side of the island?” Fitz asks. 

    “It’s the same, as far as I’m aware.”

    “So we should fish beyond the reef,” suggests Fitz, inevitably summoning his father. 

    “Fitz, we have one rule.”  

    “And that rule came from a time when there were fish. So what would you propose? Let our people starve?” 

    “There is nothing beyond that reef except for danger. I don’t get why that’s so difficult for you to understand!”

    “How do you know that? It’s not like anyone has actually been out there!”

    Fitz’s dad’s face darkens as he storms off, out of Dex’s line of vision. A middle-aged woman must’ve heard the commotion, because now she’s standing here too. 

    “Fitz, honey…” she says, placing a hand on his shoulder. 

    That’s the feminine voice I heard earlier. Are there only like five humans on this island?

    Fitz snaps, “It’s not like Captain Perfect would have--never mind, it’s not worth it.”

    Softly, the woman says, “He understands more than you know. Your father…used to be you, Fitz. He and his best friend sailed past the reef, where waves like mountains crashed down, overturning his canoe. Your father couldn’t save him.” 

    She pulls Fitz into a hug. “He’s hoping he can save you.” She pulls away, bringing the girl with her as she disappears into the trees, leaving Fitz with his thoughts. 

    He touches a canoe with his toes, and it’s obvious, even all the way out here, that he wants to push off, but there’s something holding him back. 

“I've been staring at the edge of the water

'Long as I can remember

Never really knowing why

I wish I could be the perfect tama

But I come back to the water

No matter how hard I try

Huri ke atu, 

taka kē ana

Ia te ara, 

hoki kē rawa

Ki te tānga-o-taku-manawa rā

E hao nei e!

See the line where the sky meets the sea?

It calls me

And no one knows

How far it goes

If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me

One day I'll know

If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go

I know everybody on this island

Seems so happy on this island

Everything is by design

I know everybody on this island

Has a role on this island

So maybe I can roll with mine

Aratakina, hikitia rā

Ki te whaia pea ka rarata

Hoi i roto nei, hia kē ana

Aue taukuri!”

    Fitz closes his eyes and pushes off in the canoe, paddling with a small oar and pulling ropes to, presumably, open and control the sail. Dex doesn’t know much about sailing. 

“See the light as it shines on the sea?

It's blinding

But no one knows

How deep it goes

And it seems like it's calling out to me

So come find me

And let me know

What's beyond that line?

Will I cross that line?

The line where the sky meets the sea

It calls me

And no one knows

How far it goes

If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me

One day I'll know

How far I'll go!”

    Fitz fully opens the sail, and a strong gust of wind knocks him off balance. Dex doesn’t think before diving down into the water, where deceivingly rough seas are battering him and some broken-off pieces of the canoe against some rocks.

    Dex grabs Fitz’s limp body and pulls him onto the beach, praying to Poseidon that he’s okay. 

    But Dex knows that isn’t entirely true, with a bloody temple that, by Apollo, better not be a concussion, and a left leg twisted at an uncomfortable angle. 

    And then there are several cuts along both of his arms, and there’ll certainly be bruises once his body catches up to what’s happened.

    Despite all that, Dex’s fingers trace Fitz’s jawline, smiling softly as xe takes in his features. 

    Oh, he really is cute up close. Are all humans like that? Or is he especially gorgeous? 

“What would I give to live where you are?

What would I pay to stay here beside you?

What would I do to see you smiling at me?

Where would we walk, where would we run?

If we could stay all day in the sun?

Just you and me, and I could be

Part of your world”

    Much too soon, the girl and Fitz’s uncle notice Fitz, and Dex has to dive back into the water to avoid being seen. 

    Dex’s father may only have a few rules, but not letting the humans know of their existence is in all caps, highlighted, and underlined. Three times. 

    It would be so much easier if Dex could just ignore xor curiosity about these humans, but there’s something in xem that’s drawn to them. 

    But this one seems to be different. And that’s not something Dex can just turn away from. 

“I don't know when, I don't know how

But I know something's starting right now

Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be

Part of your world!”

When Fitz wakes up, his head is pounding. He fumbles around for his stuffed animal dragon he’s had as long as he can remember, coming back unsuccessful. 

    He does run into something person shaped sitting on the edge of the bed who says, “Well, it’s about time.”

    “Oh, hey, Uncle Tiergan. What time is it?” Fitz asks, eyelids fluttering open to midday brightness filtering through a patchy thatched roof.

    “Fitz, don’t you scare me like that again.” 

    “Wow, you sound like father. ‘Don’t go beyond the reef.’” Fitz collapses in a painful coughing fit. 

    “I haven’t told him you destroyed the canoe.”

    More details from today’s events piece together, and Fitz groans. “That bad?”

    “I told him the ropes came undone and the wind and waves caused it to capsize and crash into the rocks.”

    “Well that did happen.” Fitz tries to sit up, but the world starts spinning. 

    “Vertical is not your friend,” Elwin yells from his office, only separated from the cots by a few palm fronds imitating a door. 

    “And your father doesn’t need to know any more than that,” Uncle Tiergan says. 

    “Thanks.”

    “No problem.”

    The second time Fitz tries to sit up, it goes much better, and he shakily stands before hobbling to the door, pain from his knee shooting lightning up and down his leg. “Father is right, though. It’s time to keep my feet on the ground and stay in the village.”

    “If that’s what you want…go on then.”

    Fitz narrows his eyes, leaning against the doorway. “If there’s something you want to tell me, just tell me.”

    “Is there something you want to hear?”

    Fitz sighs. “Why are you acting weird?”

    “I’m the village crazy. It’s my job.”

    “I know that. You’re being weirder than usual.”

    Uncle Tiergan takes a deep breath and pats the space next to him, and Fitz reluctantly hobbles back over there and sits down. 

    “Iramutu, you’ve been told all of our peoples’ stories. All but one.”

“Tatou o tagata folau e vala'auina

E le atua o le sami tele e o mai

Ia ava'e le lu'itau e lelei

Tapenapena”

    “We were voyagers?” Fitz asks, not bothering to hide the amazement in his voice. 

    “You better believe it. We carved massive canoes from mighty trees, and we sailed. The whole ocean was ours to explore. Passing on lessons from one navigator to the next.”

“Aue, aue

Nuku I mua

Te manulele e tataki e

Aue, aue

Te fenua, te mālie,

Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e”

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high

We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze

At night, we name every star

We know where we are

We know who we are, who we are

Aue, aue

We set a course to find

A brand new island everywhere we roam

Aue, aue

We keep our island in our mind

And when it's time to find home

We know the way

Aue, aue

We are explorers reading every sign

We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain

Aue, aue

Te fenua, te mālie

Nā heko hakilia

We know the way

    “The stories are real. And so is the Heart of Te Fiti,” Uncle Tiergan gestures to Fitz’s necklace. 

    His hand mindlessly reaches for it, opening the locket to find a green stone. “Do you mean to tell me that I’ve been wearing what is possibly the most valuable thing in existence since I was six?”

    Uncle Tiergan nods. “The ocean chose you.”

    “But…we just saw how well I can sail.”

    “Our island is in danger, Fitz. Real danger. You must find Keefe and return the Heart of Te Fiti. There is no other way.”

    “And how do you expect me to do that?”

    Uncle Tiergan gestures to Fitz to follow him, much to Elwin’s dismay, and takes him to a cave hidden behind vines and seems like the kind of place Biana would have found when ae was, like, three. 

    But when Uncle Tiergan pushes the vines aside and walks in, instead of the stalactites and stalagmites he was expecting, there are several dozens of boats of all sizes.

    Fitz’s heart literally skips a beat as he takes all of this in. 

    It’s--it’s beautiful…

    The spell is broken by Uncle Tiergan coughing heavily, stumbling outside to sit down. 

    “Uncle Tiergan!” Fitz calls, chasing after him. “What’s wrong?”

    “Fitz, I don’t have much time left. See those stars in the shape of a fishhook? They’ll lead you to Keefe.”

    Hot tears are already welling behind Fitz’s eyes, and he blinks them back fiercely. “I can’t do it, Uncle Tiergan.”

    “You can. And when you find Keefe, grab ia by the ear for me and tell ia, ‘I am Fitzroy of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and return the Heart of Te Fiti.’ Do you understand me, iramutu?”

    He starts coughing again as Fitz nods solemnly. 

    “But I can’t leave you.”

    “Fitz, there is nowhere you can go that I won’t be with you.”

    Another fit of coughs engulfs him and he collapses backward, breathing heavily. 

    “Uncle Tiergan?” Fitz falls to his knees beside him, ignoring the spark of pain that shoots up his leg. “Uncle Tiergan!” 

    Fitz turns to the nearest people, barely in earshot, yelling, “Help! Someone find my father! And bring Elwin!” 

    They take an extraordinarily long time to get over here for such a small island, and Dad, forcefully pulling Fitz away from Uncle Tiergan, demands, “What happened?”

    The fragile string keeping Fitz together snaps, and he shakes his head as the tears he’s been fighting waterfall down his cheeks. 

    “I’m--I’m sorry,” Elwin whispers. “He’s gone.”

    “Goodbye, uncle.” Fitz turns and heads for the cave, needing room to breathe, Uncle Tiergan’s final request rattling around inside his head. 

    He catches a stingray out of the corner of his eye and smiles painfully. Uncle Tiergan always loved stingrays. He even said he’d come back as one someday. 

    “Fitz, where are you going?” asks his father. 

    “To save our island from the wrath of Te Kā,” he answers, not bothering to turn back around and face him. 

    “Fitzroy--”

    Red-hot anger flares in Fitz’s chest, and he snaps, “I’m not letting any more of my people die!”

    “There was nothing you could do for Tiergan.”

    “But this is something I can do!” Fitz opens his necklace, removing the Heart and brandishing it in front of him like a weapon. “The ocean chose me! So I’m going beyond the reef, whether you like it or not.”

    He draws from the frustration at everybody on this freaking island as he storms into the cave.

“There's a line where the sky meets the sea and it calls me

But no one knows, how far it goes

All the time wondering where I need to be is behind me

I'm on my own, to worlds unknown”

    He sets off in a larger canoe than last time, and he manages to get it out of the door without crashing it. 

    “Take care, Motunui. I’ll be back.”

“Every turn I take, every trail I track

Is a choice I make, now I can't turn back

From the great unknown where I go alone

Where I long to be”

    Maybe it’s from adrenaline, maybe it’s from crashing against the rocks earlier today, or maybe Uncle Tiergan’s ghost is really floating alongside him. 

    “Courage, Fitz,” he says, hand resting gently on his shoulder. 

    Fitz barely manages to hang on to the canoe as he rides over the massive waves breaking on the reef.

    “Open your sail,” Uncle Tiergan instructs, and Fitz slowly releases the rope, filling the sail with wind. 

    Fitz smiles, taking in the salty ocean breeze. “That’s more like it! Keefe, I’m coming for you!”

“See her lie in the night on the sea, she calls me

And, yes, I know that I can go

There's a moon in the sky and the wind is behind me

Soon I'll know how far I'll go!”

The Phantom Wars: Chapter 1

This light novel is going to be a dramatic telling of a hunger games sim that my friend and I made. Thus, all chapters of this story will have the trigger warnings of character deaths and slight depictions of violence, blood, and slight ptsd. You have been warned.

Sebastian knocked on the door to Comte’s room as he waited by the door with the daily bottle of Rogue. “Enter,” Comte replied warmly as he looks at Sebastian with a calm smile as he places down a letter he was reading. “Greetings, Sebastian. You may leave the Rogue in the table.” He then turned back to the letter. Though he looked like he was calmly reading a letter, his eyes were disturbed, according to Sebastian. “Pardonnez-Moi, M. le Comte,  but is there something troubling you? Perhaps some news of Shakespeare?” he asked, concerned. Comte slightly shook his head as he warmly looked at Sebastian. “Nothing of Shakespeare, Sebastian,” he assured him. “Do not fret: Arthur has been working with Vincent to locate Shakespeare’s whereabouts."

Sebastian then bowed to Comte as he leaves the Rouge by the coffee table. “I will take my leave then,” he said as he closes the door. Once Comte was assured that Sebastian was no longer present with the fading footsteps marking his departure, he then looked at the letter in concern.

To Comte de Saint-Germain,

How have the years been to you, old friend? Are you still gathering more people to entertain you? I would not place that against you. It can become rather lonely when you are ethereal, is it not?

Enough pleasantries.

You know as much as I do that the moment is coming.

I sincerely hope that your companions can sift the reality from the lies. You know what was once said by Sun Tzu. “Keep your friends close and enemies closer.” The problem is you cannot tell them apart nowadays.

Remember, this is the only way to return him to the mansion. I will only require five (5) of them.

Your old friend,

Vlad

A few days later, the residents of the mansion united to the dinner table, confused as to why they were all summoned to the location in such short notice. Even the more reclusive residents came down. Comte then gave a nod to Sebastian as he serves the drinks to the men at his command.

“Has anyone been in contact with Jeanne d’Arc?” Comte asked. “I would prefer for everyone to be present before we begin,”

Everyone shook their heads and muttered as Mozart then spoke up. “He said to start without him. He has some business to attend to,” he dryly replied, clearly wanting to move to the main reason for this discussion. Comte then nodded. “Very well. Now, as to why I have gathered you all here,” Comte said. Everyone then suddenly moved a centimeter closer to him to hear the news. “We have found William Shakespeare, but he is perhaps going to instigate what will happen tonight. As you may or may not know, this night is the nuit de la lune bleue or the night of the blue moon,” in response to that, Leonardo suddenly stood up from his chair, clearly looking furious. “Germano, bastardo! You cannot say-!” Comte then gave a stern look to his old friend. One that even the more perceptive men in the mansion can’t discern the intentions of.

Leonardo then retracted down in his seat, resigned as he begrudgingly allowed Comte to continue.

“In every 2000 years, all vampires; lesser, greater, and after much debate, demi-vampires as well, are invited to join a battle of vampire superiority. However, the host of the event is the one who initates and invites said vampires,” Comte said ruefully. “The host of said events is a... former aquaintance of mine, in pleasant terms,” he said as he cleared his throat. “Simply put, at the stroke of midnight, all the chosen vampires will be transported through a dream world by our sleep. If someone is killed, then they would wake up, as if it was only a dream. However, they would still retain the pain for a while and the memory of said experience,”. Comte then stood up. “If any of you wish to ask anything, I will attempt to answer it.”

The others were stunned and some of them had faces of betrayal. Their questions spilled simultaneously.

“Why were we not notified of this?”

“Who is this acquaintance?”

"What is the point of these games?”

However, the sound of coughs were heard in the dining room entrance as Jeanne entered in the mansion with an exhausted Shakespeare, his clothes and face could only represent an escape from a pursuer. After Jeanne settled him to a chair, Shakespeare then said in a hoarse voice, “I tried to stop it. I could not stop it,” he simply said before going into a coughing fit. The others then looked at the letter and looked at Shakespeare: though eccentric, dramatic, and misguided, he has had the best of the mansion at heart.

Comte then nodded once more. “Since we are selected, we need at least five people to begin the game.” He was about to continue when Jeanne extended his hand to the letter. “je ne te fais pas confiance, but I equally do not wish this to befall to someone else in this mansion...” Jean said. This was then followed by Napoleon, a reluctant Mozart, and eventually every resident, including Sebastian. Count then looked at them all with stunned humbleness, which then broke to a rueful smile. “Merci, mes amis,” he said softly. However, Shakespeare increased the tightness of his grip, causing the letter to tear. “Shakespeare, what are-” Comte and Leonardo said as he looked up to them.

“Forgive me not for this,” Shakespeare said smiling. “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” He then tore his portion of the letter.

There was silence. Then the dizziness began. It was only a matter until they all closed their eyes.

One by one, they opened their eyes to a glass case for each individual. Besides the fact that they were all paired in two, there were also two things that made the men tremble.

Not only was there a white haired man present with pale skin and fangs, but there were 11 other people. And all of them resembled the vampire residents in the mansion. The pale man simply chuckled as a Shakespeare bowed to him.

“This is no vampire royale anymore, old friend. This is the Phantom wars.”

Endymion

I don’t know how to write this review. Here are some objective facts:

Endymion is my ~*signature scent*~

Endymion is the fragrance that got me started on perfume sample hoarding because I was desperately trying to find a dupe for it because there was no way I was going to pay full price for it, right?? better to just spend more than that amount on dozens of samples, right?

I SPENT $96 ON A FULL SIZE BOTTLE OF ENDYMION THIS YEAR AND THAT WAS ON SALE AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON’T REGRET THE PURCHASE

so let’s get into this review, huh?

in 2014 i went to the fancy mall near my college and i went to a shaving store and saw a perfume that had the same name as a john keats poem and i was like. hey. i wanna try that on even though the price tag is Too High For Me. It’s not like i’m going to fall in love with it and spend four and a half years searching for a dupe before caving in and buying it anyway when it’s announced that they’re changing the formula and that the old stock is on sale. 

anyway so i tried it on and i was like. oh fuck this is. this is really damn good! holy shit! at this point, the only perfume that I owned was Dot by Marc Jacobs. that was it. that was what i wore when i was getting fancied up for any special event. that was the only perfume i had ever owned in my life up until falling in love with Endymion. 

so in 2015, I ordered the Penhaligon’s scent library because it was the most inexpensive way to get a sample of Endymion. and pretty much immediately, Endymion became my new go-to perfume, although I did for a while alternate between wearing Dot (or one of the more feminine Penhaligon’s scents) on days when I was feeling more ~*feminine*~ and then wearing Endymion for....... every other gender feel, I guess.

god when is this going to get to the review, right? tragically, the review itself is....... not going to be super exciting because, welp, I know this scent too well so it’s not like it’s going to surprise me. 

the most basic description of Endymion is “fancy shaving cream.” 

it’s like... uhhhh....... kinda sweet and creamy but also like. sharp and cold? and um. rich and velvety? uhhh.... hmm..... it’s just really nice? 

there are like. moments that i consistently enjoy when i’m wearing Endymion. When I’m driving and the a/c is blowing, it blows the scent from my wrists right to my nose and it’s like. the best! and when I wake up after wearing Endymion, it’s like there’s just the faintest and only the sweetest part of it left on my pillows but when i press my face into them trying to figure out where it smells so nice, I can’t find it. mysterious.

Endymion sometimes feels like... an aspiration gender thing? like sometimes i feel like wearing it is as close to fae glamour I’m going to get re: subtly shifting people’s perceptions of my gender? 

anyway here’s what Penhaligon’s says about Endymion:

Endymion is Zeus’s most handsome son. A Greek God in a perpetual slumber, forever young. He is visited nightly by Luna, his divine consort, she who loved him so. The new intense iteration of his eponymous fragrance inspires great and lasting passions too. (Love AND loyalty - so rare these days!) At the same time this is the perfect companion (discretion is always a virtue) for the easy-going gentleman. The first associations of sophisticated shaving OR grooming and full bodied coffee is complemented with elegant hues of geranium, lavender and mandarin, nutmeg, resins and suede. A demi-lune, a semi-oriental. Just like the man in the Myth, the fragrance is timeless. Just like the woman, who is Moon, it is sensual. A Classic to love that is anything but a classical love story

am I the easy-going gentleman? perhaps.

anyway that’s my review of endymion. it’s my fave. the end!

This table was a sweet surprise. I bought it online without going to look it over first. I just loved the long legs, and being a demi-lune, it’s the kid of piece that can be used virtually anywhere in the home. When I got my hands on it, I discovered that it was actually a flip-top game table!! After fixing its wobble, and patching some veneer damage, I used Chalk Paint®️by Annie Sloan in Graphite, Scandinavian Pink, Olive, Old Ochre, Arles, and Burgundy and created a multi-gaming surface. I used Graphite on the top, and Scandi on the base with plenty of Dark Wax over a coat of Clear Wax for a rich, aged look. This one will be hard to part with! . . . #jensfurniturerehab #stgeorgeutah #southernutah #anniesloan #chalkpaint #chalkpaintisanniesloan #anniesloanchalkpaint #anniesloanstockist #anniesloanhome #chalkpaintedfurniture #paintedfurniture #furnitureartist #colormovement #vintage #antique #diy #paintedfurniturelove #home #decor #refinishedfurniture #upcycled #furnituremakeover #shoplocal #interiors #handpainted (at Jen's Furniture Rehab) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSULhjl7lj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dp960tfju2o0

Angeliqcat |  Winston Lila | 19 ans | Pansexuelle | Son meilleur ami est atteint d’une mucoviscidose.| Lila est sans doute l'une des meilleures incarnations de l'altruisme. Chez la jeune fille aider les autres a toujours été un besoin et une envie. Elle a cette tendance a être gentille avec presque tout le monde mais il n'en reste pas moins qu'elle possède également un sacré caractère qui la pousse souvent a gueuler haut et fort quand quelque chose ne lui plait pas et aller jusque sécher les cours pour aller dans des manifs. Dotée d'une âme d'artiste la jeune fille a intégré une école d'art pour devenir maquilleuse FX. Elle adore dessiner et écouter de la musique. Parlons en d'ailleurs de la musique. Lila a une aversion pour la musique actuelle même si quelques groupes actuels lui plaisent. Lila elle aime le rock le punk le vrai celui de Nirvana, des Sex Pisols ou encore des Ramones. Atypique dans ses goûts comme dans sa façon d'être elle se definie elle même comme étant "La fille au ch'veux qui changent de couleur toutes les demis lune et qui écoute les chansons de Nirvana en portant un sweet de Métalica avec un join à la Bob Marley entre les lèvres. | La mère de Lila lui est presque inconue celle-ci ayant abandonné sa fille tout juste née et son père. Lila a donc grandi en cohabitation avec son père dans sa ville natale : Seatle. Cette vie elle ne l'échangerait pourtant contre rien au monde.
