Mark_Leopold1mthReplied to Yama_KameThank you so much for your support. I honestly mean that. The main reason my next story isn't up yet is because I'm trying to plan it out a bit more and especially nail down characters and timeline for what's going to happen. I should have it up and going before summer starts. (or winter depending on what side of the globe you are on.) I truly appreciate you and hope you continue reading, forever. Even if not mine.

Ch 198 Epilogue- Mark_Leopold4mthReplied to Yama_KameCh 1 Chapter 1: The daily life of hiding in plain sight... maybe not...

That gif made me laugh! Thanks. I needed that.
"DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DRUIDS?!" She shouted. Her voice would have echoed through the entire town, had Gerald not been quick enough to catch it with magic and silence it. - Mark_Leopold11mthReplied to SHADOWBLADE
I meant "magic" and I think that's obvious in the story, but that didn't stop me from laughing out loud at your comment.
"You should also not use the M word here." He cautioned. "I assume that you know the history of this town." - Mark_Leopold11mthReplied to Yama_Kame
A brief word about this comment, because it's true in Our world. Druids are one of the longer lived peoples of this world, living around 400-700 years, if they don't succumb to disease, war, famine, etc. Honestly, she would be seen as barely an adult by other Druids. (Think of how your parents/guardians thought of you and your ideas when you graduated from your public schooling. Here in the US that's at around 18 years old, and those who are older just laugh at how naïve we were at that age.)
"Respectable." She muttered, the venom in her voice audible. "Says the man with a slave." - Mark_Leopold11mthReplied to Yama_Kame
Just because one can kill, doesn't mean one should. The wiser you become, the more you realize a difference between the irredeemable people and those who can be taught... And Gerald is far older than any of us...
"It's not theirs either." Gerald was sick of this argument, but it was one he had had plenty of times with other druids in the past. "Perhaps I should treat you as one of the Ignoble then, rather than as a slave under the employ of what I am." His eyes flashed in anger at her and he sent magic through the invisible link that kept her his property. 'This is why I hate having slaves.' He inwardly lamented. "I forbid you from ever saying the word that describes what I am." He quickly stated, and the magic took its toll. She gasped, but would only later realize the quick thinking and wisdom of what he had done. "You'll wear the coat, or you'll go cold." He threatened. "The deserts are beautiful and hot during the day, but they can be blisteringly cold at night. And that is when we need to do our business." He looked at the sun, "Which won't be for quite some time. We are on the far side of the world after all." With that, he turned towards the city and walked down the hill. After a heavy, inward debate about whether to follow him, she grabbed the jacket and followed. Mostly because she had nowhere else to go. - Mark_Leopold11mthReplied to SHADOWBLADE
I haven't laughed that hard in a while! [img=recommend] Don't worry. She's no useless Sakura. (She's not even a Hinata...)
"I'm not going anywhere with a Necromancer." The word was out before Gerald could do anything to stop it. Immediately, there was the sounding of a loud gong, and the rain ended around them. Magic filled the air and the obvious signs of teleportation were surrounding them. "Come." He stated, grabbing her by the arm, and pulling her away quickly and deeper into the trees. She tried to scream for help, but her voice wouldn't work, or at least it didn't seem to. Gerald had already seen to that eventuality. Due to the power of the duel mark, Lydia could not physically disobey a direct order, but that didn't mean that she made it easy. - Mark_Leopold11mthReplied to SHADOWBLADE
Witches are a Matriarchal society. Warlock is a Male witch
"Don't try to force it." He cautioned. "I'm not one of the people you are looking for, but I don't want to make trouble for the people here." The man sighed, leaning backwards on his chair. "I... I understand why you would think that I'm one of the 'women led', but-" - Mark_Leopold1yrReplied to Mark_Leopold

sorry for the delay in the response. ill sb A
"Welcome to the Gin and Tonic. Home of both room and drink if you've the coin." The barkeep said, turning to them even as he poured a drink from a glass jar for another patron. "What'll it be..." His voice trailed off as he stared at Gerald with a look of astonishment. "ILSBE!" He shouted, dropped the jar of booze onto the ground with a crash, and jumped over the bar. "Ilsbe, you son of Dryassiad! What in the hells brings you back here?! It's been too long!" - Mark_Leopold1yrReplied to DreadxRuby
I understand the confusion. I promise that it will be addressed later on in the story. The same as the nature of magic in this world, the division of the magical races by innate ability, etc. I suppose it doesn't hurt to give you a sneak peak at some information however to help. Witches were cursed after the ancient war and were forced from their ancestral lands. The Witches call this their "Long Walk" Warlocks (male Witches) became rarer as part of the curse. Witches, after they were forced away from their homes, became known for their work in potions and healing. Hopefully that should explain the titles that these two characters address each other.
