《Birds of a Feather》Hogh
Advertisement
After a few weeks, the harsh and brutal winter left to the arrival of summer. The whole gang decided to stay in New York for a while to get things fixed up, patching old relationships and friendships.
Meanwhile, Jacob thought of a brilliant party with Queenie, Theseus, Newt and Tina. He made cakes and cookies, pies and crackers, cupcakes and all the best desserts for an ideal picnic.
"Hey" Newt said, "Coming to the picnic?"
The Company had rented a bunch of rooms, since they couldn't stay in the Brownstone after they. . "moved away".
"Do you know where Dumbledore is?" Tina asked immediately.
"Why do you need Dumbledore?" Newt asked.
"It's for something important. I'll be there by eleven" Tina assured, "Now where is he?"
"He's at MACUSA. He left today to meet up with Picquery regarding the aftermath" Newt said, "Come on, why do you need to worry more?"
"I need to do something" Tina put on her coat, "I'll be back okay?"
"D'you want me to come?" Newt asked.
"Jacob and Queenie would kill us. At least go as our representative" Tina said.
"Representative. I can do that".
She chuckled and Apparated to Woolworth Building. She had to learn the answer to the question she had in mind.
". . and we shall see to it that it never happens again" Fontaine concluded the session when Tina burst into the meeting room.
"Miss Goldstein? Again?" Serephina sighed.
"Professor Dumbledore, can I talk to you? Like now?" Tina panted.
"Yes, sure" Albus was perplexed, but he sort of expected such behavior from Tina. He excused himself and went to the hallway to talk to her.
"Do you have a few minutes?" Tina asked.
"Why yes" Albus said, "What is it?"

"Do you have any idea about the Deathly Hallows? Especially the Resurrection Stone?" Tina asked.
"I'm sorry, Tina, but the Hallows are passed down to the family. We never know who has it now".
"But Grindelwald--"
"He had the Elder Wand and now it is in my possession" Albus said, "The Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility are missing and they're yet to be uncovered".
"I see" Tina wanted to cry, "That's bad".
"Why do you need it? Is it to resurrect Ms Lestrange?"
Tina nodded, embarrassed, "I was wondering if I could get her back for Theseus".
"I see".
"Please tell me there's another way" Tina begged.
"There are no spells which can resurrect the dead, Tina" Albus admitted, "Most of them are far too complex with very less successful attempts."
"I've heard about Necromancy" Tina remembered when she studied the different types of dark magic.
"And it's far too dangerous. You may disrupt the entire concept of afterlife and the whole pattern" Albus told her, sternly, "And don't ask me about Time Turners. They can be used, but will lead to a disaster in the present".
"I'm aware".
"I understand your plight, but Miss Goldstein, please promise me you would not immerse yourself in dark magic. It's dangerous and it can lead to dangerous things" Albus warned.
"I do" Tina muttered.
"Good. Care for some tea?"
"I'm actually headed off to a picnic".
"Very well. Don't let the essence of dark magic get to your head" Albus let her off with a warning.
Back on top of a hill, Tina saw the clouds and the warm feeling of summer envelope her into a hug.
"Let's eat!" Jacob cut out a portion of a cream filled cake and passed it to the gang, "This calls for a cake toast!"

"That sounds weird" Theseus, who hadn't said a word since they got back to normal, finally let out a comment.
Tina watched him as he slowly ate his portion, gazing at the sky. She wondered how different it would be if Leta were here.
"That looks like a Niffler" Leta pointed at a cloud.
"My brother has been influencing you, Leta" Theseus chuckled.
"Hey, you know what? Let's move to the clouds. Set up a house there and live there forever" Leta lied on the grass.
"Now you're really drunk" Theseus lied next to her, "I love summer".
"We can make toasted marshmallows and go on camping. It's what I learnt from Tina and Queenie"
"Wow, now the sisters too? Who are you and what have you done with my Leta?" Theseus joked.
"Hey" Tina found herself talking to the elder brother.
"Hi" Theseus said, "I believe I haven't gotten to know you well".
"Seriously?" Tina gave him a glare.
Theseus snorted, "Let's have an Auror to Auror talk".
"You still want to talk about your job?" Tina asked, shaking her head, "Don't you want to enjoy?"
"Yes, that sounds wonderful" But behind his smile lied a broken heart which could cry to fill a river.
Deep down Tina knew that even if it was dangerous, she was going to learn Necromancy even if she doesn't get optimal results.
"What are you thinking?" Theseus asked.
"Nothing" she answered and smiled at him, a knowing smile at the future to come.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
