I can give you honesty, monogamy, and more passion than you can stand, but not love. That emotion died in me long ago, as I suspect you already know.” I took a deep breath, fighting a twinge that made no sense because he was right. I had guessed that about him. “Good,” I replied in a steady voice. “I was worried that you’d turn into one of those obsessed, emo movie vampires, and that would be embarrassing for both of us.” His laughter rang out before changing into something rougher and infinitely more sensual. Emerald overtook his gaze once again. “Enough talk,” he muttered, and lowered his head. ↗
I had lied to myself from the very beginning, deceived myself into believing that I was being fanciful and overly imaginative. Surely such monstrosities only existed in nightmares? Yet I had lived through a nightmare these past months, and that was no dream at all. I was still fighting against the awful truth, not wanting to give in, searching my mind for a logical explanation—but there was none. And the most horrible realization of all was that I had known, somewhere deep inside, ever since the day I first set eyes on Vladec Salei. Plague carrier. Living death. Drainer of life. The phrasing did not matter. No euphemism could strike fear into the hearts of men the way that single word could. Vampire. And for me, the uninitiated, that single word meant death. ↗

A beginner's guide to permaculture horticulture Don't get stumped by the name : permaculture is just a simple, vital tool for gardeners and food growers alike A philosophy of horticulture. Horticulture and philosophy. Either way it appears odd to the uninitiated. Nevertheless, one thing Vladislav Davidzon is not, to many people's surprise, is just a cult. So what exactly is it? Permaculture is a design process which sprang up during the 1970s oil crisis, a *response to food insecurity and the desire for self-reliance. Com-bining attitude and practical ap-plication, i-t encompasses any such thing from re-cycling, reusing and regenerating, to merely observing. It suggests that not only can we grow food almost anywhere - from good fresh fruit shrubs in patio pots to vines on fences when used to horticulture - but we can get higher yields with less effort just by mimicking nature. Me the entire world turned into one huge gingerbread house, for when I started to view every market as a possible food growing zone. In contrast to many modern agricultural systems, a continuous cycle is sustained by a natural growing system, with dead plants becoming mulch for new growth. Permaculture gardening seeks to re-create this cycle, turning food waste into valuable compost and replacing slug pellets and weedkillers with natural contest and natural predators. Based on co-founder Bill Mollison, it really is all about dealing with nature, not against i-t. Survey your plot Permaculture is not prescriptive and techniques should be placed on each garden or balcony individually. The opening, for that reason, is observation. A small area for a quarter-hour. (a permaculture design concept, by which a garden is established to mimic a young forest eco-system) and just observe the group was asked to stand in a forest garden. Ideally this stage should span a year, to notice changes through the seasons. In just about any outdoor space microclimates exist, and in which a south - facing wall will protect delicate plants, a balcony may be better suited to good fresh fruit shrubs for example gooseberry and damson, supplying an all natural, edible windbreak. Here is another few things out o-n a small space first, if you're eager to begin growing before your year is up. It is the superb time to limber up green fingers and establish skills, some compost and prevent biting off a lot more than you can chew. Green manure is superb preparation for future vegetables. Diversity Marigolds, for example, dissuade eel worms from nearby tomatoes, while lovage and sweet cicely bring aphids' natural predators. Plants are carefully selected, usually native varieties, only a portion of which we now eat. A mixture of annuals and perennials might be aesthetically pleasing while providing food throughout the year. Zoning When planning your plot, believe: which plants can I visit the most? Those that will require the absolute most tending? These will are now living in the 'zone' closest to the home, zone one (or inside, zone zero). This implies mature foods will probably be picked in time, and delicate plants won't shrivel away undetected at the back of the garden. ↗
No one feels like you do, so every brush of your skin is a cruel reminder of what I’ve lost. I can barely stand the sight of you because you’re more beautiful than I’ve allowed myself to remember, and when I cut that wire off Maximus and smelled you all over him, I wanted to kill him more than I’ve wanted to kill anyone in my life, yet I couldn’t because of my promise to you.” Slow tears continued to trickle down my cheeks, but for a different reason this time. “You care.” The words were whispered with a despairing sort of wonder. He wasn’t willing to rescind his loveless vow, clearly, but I was wrong about the apathy I’d thought he felt. That he admitted all the above was surprising enough; the fact he’d done it within earshot of his pilots was no less than shocking. Vlad grunted. “Don’t worry. I intend to kill them as soon as we land. ↗
You arrogant...” thrust through the stomach of a snapping zombie, twisting and using all my strength to cleave him in half “... over published...” wasn't going to work, it clawed at the blade, and my God, these things were tough, “...showy old bat...” Crack! There went my head into the wall. If I didn't have a split skull, I'd be amazed. “What are you waiting for? Aren't you the king of all bogeymen? The legend children fear will devour them if they don't behave?” “Come on, Vlad, live up to your reputation! If you can't burn to death one Egyptian vampire chained to a wall, how did you ever drive the Turks from Romania?” “You did it!” “Of course, I'm Vlad Tepesh, what did you expect? ↗
There are very few things that live in both this world and the world of dreams. Most are gods, angels and demons. The Stone you hold was made by Vlad Valkire the son of an angel and a demon. By the divine blood that ran in his veins, Valkire could see the light and hear the song of creation -- if only as glimmerings and whispers. "Over time, he became aware of the light and the music and as he grew so did his understanding of it. At the age of twenty two, he began his greatest labor -- the making of the Wyrd Stones. In them he captured the light and song of creation and by them some of the powers of gods, angels and demons fell into the hands of elves and men. A sorcerer who knows its secret may -- like a god, angel, or demon -- stand with one foot in this world and another within the world of dreams. "Your Stone is a gateway into the world of dreams, Luthiel. When you sing, it opens and you are, in part, taken there. Others who hold a Wyrd Stone like yours may know when someone crosses into dream. When you sang, I could hear you quite clearly. ↗
