  • The Valkyries from Yuggoth

    Sjörn died in battle, with honor. The Valkyries came and took his soul to Valhalla.

    So is the tale, written on his tombstone. The tale of a brave and fearless warrior, one of the finest. Curiously, his son Feyr never talks about his father. Except once…

    It was the time Canute the Great unified the Dane. Feys Sjörnson was completely and utterly wasted, drunk to the bones. He sang with the others, dance with the maidens of the house and drank some more. Then one of his men complimented the largest maiden of the lot by saying that she had the hips of a Valkyrie. Feyr went red and screamed that she lacks two more pair of arms, that Valkyries were hairless, that their wings are made of leather and their arms of lobster, that the souls of men were inside their skulls and you have to cut it open to really free the soul. His men took him away to let him sleep and he never spoke of it again.

  • Cecil Tarrow

    Hogwarts School for Talented Wizards, September 2001

    Cecil is quite the shy one, he doesn’t like to stand out much and only his closest friend knows why. Alastor remembers him as a jovial and enthusiastic boy, back when they were playing in Diagon Alley. He hadn’t seen Cecil since his fathers and him went abroad. So when Alastor’s father told him that Cecil’s got into Hogwarts too, he was delighted to see his old friend again. And then was devastated to learn about Cecil’s father painful death.
    Since then, Alastor vowed to act as a big brother and stay forever close to Cecil, even if Cecil is older than him and quite capable to take care of himself.

    Cecil is terrified of flying to the point he actively search to be dispensed, but so far with little results. He likes drawing and joined the Arts & Crafts Club. Recently he discovered a strange burnt journal under his bed. With his closest friends Alastor, Pâris and Artemisa, they started to investigate what led to strange turn of events during the year 1977…

  • Wind magus, Sadness

    Swirling softly
    Sorrow’s creeping
    Hope’s vanishing
    Sad, aren’t we?

  • Wind magus – Furor

    When little bits adds up,
    When each little wave syncs
    Then comes resonance
    Then comes the furor

  • Wind Magus – Kindness

    I wasn’t satisfied with the lazy sketch of a very interesting character from yesterday.  So I made some more.

    Pushing here and there, gently, the wind magus create air currents, Warmth flows circles around him, as he kindly swirl the breeze.

  • Wind Magus

    I’m not *creating* wind. You cannot create out of nothing.
    I’m merely pushing things here and there. That’s all.

  • Odin the wanderer

    What do you see with your only eye old man ?
    Why are you so strong after all those years ?
    Do you change according to our beliefs ?
    What secrets do you hold, wisest among the wises ?

  • The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

    Western is such  an hyper gendered genre, full of codes and traditions.
    This movie holds a place in my hearth as the quintessential example of the whole western dominion.

  • Anxiety

    It’s hitting you hard in the stomach
    Grappling and wrestling and biting
    The pressure is overwhelming
    Can’t talk can’t breath only ache.
