The Necromancer Mysteries - Artemis Nightshade (best short novels TXT) 📗

no clue as to where her daughter is so she thought maybe Blackstone knew or can find out.

She knows her daughter very well, always on the go, spreading terror, fighting, etc. ‘Uathach, where are you?’ Scathach thought as she leans against a brick wall of a building and waited to see if the rain would die down.

“So you’re telling that this “Shadow” is an immortal warrior woman and martial arts teacher?” Avriel asks as we walk towards my office which is upstairs. I nodded my head in reply but still had my back on them.

“She and her sister came to me one time to resurrect Cu Chulainn, one of Scathach’s students and lover. Well she and her twin loved him and that came out as a war, a Civil War. The Shadow’s daughter ended up with him but I’ve heard that things didn’t go so well with the two.” I explain as I unlock my office. I didn’t need a key; the lock’s a spell, say the right one and it opens.

I stepped aside to let Cross, Avriel, Josh, and Jett in then walked inside myself, the door behind me, closed itself and the lights flickered on, showing spell books, alchemy, potions, and on the floor a large Pentacle circle.

“Well you certainly decorated a bit cousin.” Jett explains as he went to admire my alchemy set. ‘No I didn’t you just haven’t been here for a while.’ I thought as the three guys looked around as well.

“Man Blackstone, this could also be used as a bedroom!” Josh exclaims as he blows into one of my books, making the dust fly and us cough a bit. ‘The Book of Light’ that’s what the title said, the one Josh was holding.

Josh looked at me and in silence asked me what ‘The Book of Light’ was. Jett answered and then glared at me. “The one that Daniel stole from me.” Jett accused and I told them that I had a copy of it and that the original was at Jett’s but still he didn’t believe me.

“How long will you be staying?” I ask as we all took a seat in whatever chair was available. Cross explained that they will be going in and out. I nodded my head understanding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all stood in the main hall and said bye to Jett, he had to leave, and someone needed him. “Is he a necromancer like you?” Cross asks as I shook my head and explain that Jett was a Sorcerer/Knight.

Jett as you know him is really Sir Geraint, one of King Arthur’s knights, and Prince of Devon. He learned sorcery from my father, his uncle but even through his studies as a sorcerer, he still remained a noble knight until his “death”. Since people thought he was dead, Sir Geraint changed his first and last, now he is Jett Blackthorne, but still my cousin.

Jett is one of the few knights, hidden, and still alive, along with some horror. Yes, Morgan Le Fey is still here, side by side with from what I heard, Black Annis and Virginia Dare.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we watch Jett head outside and into his car, which is a Mustang, he waved a see you later and I waved back.

I was left with Cross, Avriel, and Josh. Cross and Avriel, vampires, and Josh, a pure human. Cross can be aggressive but other than that he is loyal and protective about what he cares about.

Avriel can be mistaken as a female but hey sometimes I was mistaken for a grandfather, he’s not very talkative but when he feels the need to, he will talk and was bitten at the age of seventeen.

Josh, oh boy, came from an important Italian family, and his father is of Scottish descendent. To be honest I don’t know very much about Josh since he’s human.

Heck let’s just say I don’t know very much about humans. I hardly ever get too close to them, like relationships and such. The first and last human woman I’ve dated was Jane Toppan, the first lust murderess. I now have no idea why I dated her, nope still don’t.

I showed the three to their temporary bedroom and they nodded a thank you and head outside to do part of their duties leaving me alone, again.

I don’t mind being along, peace and quite with no one here gives me time, time to think about what The Doctor is doing and why The Shadow is here of all places.

I enter my office and sat on the chair near my messy desk and begin to work on an investigation of what the succubus told me and of what Jett told me as well. I being to think, this nearly caused me to have a headache so I stopped to relax.
Chapter 4

In my dream, I was in the middle of a chaos, there were others like me, well not exactly, they were… magic, you know like sorcerers, immortals, warriors, ghosts, shapeshifters, etc. The Doctor was at his full power, he knew are deepest weakness and desires as well.

The atmosphere was dark; the sky was dark with no moon and stars to light the way to silver of hope, fire burned everywhere and people on my side, the good, were falling and The Doctor was reigning.

A woman cried out to me for help but I couldn’t do anything, it was like my feet were planted firmly on the cold hard ground. The Doctor then came personally to me and he was holding hostage the one person I desired and whom was my deepest weakness, my son, Dalton.

I woke up with a start, not going back to sleep, to dream about what might have happened to my only son. I got up, undressed myself, and head towards the shower. I turned it on to hot and stepped inside, before the steam started coming out.

After I took my shower, I wrapped the towel around my waist, covering the private part of me, my chest was wet from the drips that came from the roots of my hair, my whole body was still damp but that didn't matter. I grab my clothes, my original clothing and got dressed in them.

After I gotten dressed, I grabbed my staff and head outside, to enjoy fresh air and... who or what knows might come out of the shadows and blue.

Many strange, unforgettable, and familiar things and people always come out and try to surprise me. I hate surprises and plus I'm not really the type you want to do it, if you did... then lets just say you'll be in one heck of a dire situation.

Heading towards the door, I stopped in my tracks, my hand was on the handle but I didn't turn to open it for someone knocked. That surprised me a bit, I was exspecting anyone to come, well maybe Jett, Cross, Josh, and Avriel but they would have just entered there was no need for them to knock.

Exhaling, I open the door to reveal the succubus I talked to earlier beofre, this time she's brought a companion, an Incubus.

"Sierra." I greeted somewhat. "Daniel." Sierra greeted back with the same tone I used.

I let the two "sex monsters" enter my house relucantly. I close the door behind me and offered them seats and drinks.

"What are you doing here?" I ask while handing them their drinks. Sierra took a sip and that gave me time to sit myself down.

"Mr. Blackstone, while me and my brother were flying around we heard a noise. A strange moaning sound." Sierra explains as I nod my head.

"Then what happened?" I ask leaning back, crossing my leg over to the other. "Well... We flew towards the noise and found out what was making the noise." The Incubus explained as I asked who they saw.

"We don't really know but we do know that he wasn't alone. This other man had a... triangular beard, he smelled like sulfur." Sierra explained as I nod my head for I knew who thsi "triangular beareded guy" was.

After more of their discovery and drinks, I lead them out and we said good-bye.

'Doctor, who or what do you have?' I wondered as I grasp my staff tighter and head outside in the bright daylight.
