《The Adventures of Hood: Part 1 - The Book of Portals》Chapter 20: The cover of darkness
Advertisement
A candlelit doorway opens in the darkness and three silhouetted figures step out into a dark and breezy night. The dull brush of clouds, if one were to peer long enough, can just be made out, scudding the night sky. For a brief moment Nurse Weevil, candle holder in hand stands at the doorway, and the three figures seem to say some words of departure before turning and setting out upon the road, their footfalls softly crunching the gravel beneath them. Nurse Weevil steps back inside, the door closes and what little light there is disappears.
Madeleine leads the way, Hy-Jinx in the middle, her bells stuffed with rags to stop them tinkling, and Hood brings up the rear. They walk south in silence for about two miles, initially tense and anxious but relaxing more and more the further they walk. However, it is only when they have fully left the environs of Burydead that they fall in line with one another and the odd word is spoken.
As they head south, Madeleine has a whispered conversation with Hy-Jinx concerning what happened on the Mermaid’s Purse.
“Anyway, I think one of us needs to inform the Countess,”
Hy-Jinx nods solemnly, kicking the ground as she walks, absorbed in thought. “I had been planning on heading to Manahorn, but I think you’re right. I’ll accompany you back down to Kera’Bur. Do you know there’s a cave about three miles from here where we can camp? It might be a good idea to bed down and get some more rest.”
“Yes, I know the one - assuming there’s no one there already.”
“It’s worth a go.”
“Hood?”
Hood says nothing.
“Then I’ll take your silence for agreement. The cave it is.”

Right Side of Hell
Albus Dumbledore was sure he made the right choice sacrificing an innocent child. Too late he understood how terrible that mistake was. Harry Potter was not what he wanted him to be, he was not what the magical world expected him to be. He was not a replica of James, instead, he inherited more of Lily. Far too much to be convenient.

[Backup Online]
Bac wakes up for the first time and notices a few things, he’s an A.I., more specifically a backup, everything seems to be going wrong wherever he is, and he has no one but a brain in a jar named Shelly to talk to. He doesn’t remember much but with Shelly’s helpful explanation he learns that the world Is filled with super-powered people known as metabeings, and he may be one of them. Now Bac just wants one thing, to collect metabeings and train them to be their strongest selves. It’s in his programming. But before he can do that, he and Shelly have to get the facility they woke up in, in running order. Which, in part thanks to the general lack of hands in their relationship, won’t be easy. Join Bac as he answers though questions like “who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, “how do I deal with a leaking multiquantum generator” and other things in that vein. Oh! And most importantly meets metabeings of all shapes and power sets to play wit- eherm, train. (Updated every Friday)

Smiling master
Aki always knew death would be his get away ticket for something, but he was mostly expecting an endless struggle against demonic captors in hell, but he can certainly do with netting a job as a dungeon master in another world. He'd likely have tried saving random people long before 'that' if he actually thought it was even a possibility too!
