For the Golden God

Hi! This is my first post here and since I didn't enter the awesomeness comp, I'm putting my entry here for Derek and the rest of you to read. Some of you have read a little of it, but I changed it slightly. Still 500 words though and I'm okay with how it turned out. Hope you all like it too!


Valkyrie groaned, and sat up. "I told you it was a trap," she said.
"No, you said it looked like it was a trap," Skulduggery corrected. "That's completely different."
He helped her up as a door opened behind them and Sadistica Tortura walked through, an unsettling smile on her lips.
 
So nice of you to drop by, detectives.” she said, flicking back her long, wavy, bright red hair. “Oh, and that wasn't really a trap. It was an entrance. You like it?” She was all red. Red dress, red high heels, red lipstick, red hair. Her eyes though, were very green. 
I would have liked it better if you added a chute. In case you didn't know, I can't fly like Skulduggery over here.” grumbled Valkyrie. 
Oh, yes. I'm terribly sorry about that.” Sadistica didn't sound sorry at all. “I'm Sadistica Tortura by the way. You two are quiet the popular troublemakers.” she smiled slyly. 
So what are we here for? Why do you want us?” asked Skulduggery. 
Cutting to the chase then, are we?” 
We've got other things to do.” 
Nothing much,” she answered. “Just something of mine was stolen and I called you here to ask if you could help me get it back.” 
No, sorry.” said Skulduggery “We're not going on a wild duck hunt-” 
Goose chase.” Valkyrie corrected. 
Skulduggery didn't seem to hear her. “We are not going on a duck hunt for something that is not real.” 
Skulduggery, it's goose chase. Not duck hunt.” Valkyrie insisted. 
I heard you the first time, my dear Valkyrie, and actually, it is duck hunt. It's always been duck hunt.” 
Since when?” 
Since just now, because I said so” 
Sadistica cleared her throat to get their attention. “While this is a nice conversation,” she said, “Can we go back to why you're thinking that I am making this up?” 
In a blink of an eye, Skulduggery had his gun out and pointed at her. “Sadistica Tortura, you are under arrest for stealing private property and murdering Krane Powers and Loretta Gape.” 
Damn. You knew this all along, didn't you?” She was backing up, getting closer to the door. 
Yes, now I suggest you come quietly. Or else we will be forced to have to subdue you.” Skulduggery said. Sadistica turned around and tried to run but Valkyrie punched her hard in the face and she hit the ground, knocked out cold. “Why didn't you say 'the sparrow flies south for winter' before you punched?” asked Skulduggery, sounding slightly offended. He knelt down to shackle Sadistica's wrists. 
You said it yourself. If she tried to run, we would have to 'subdue' her. That should be warning enough.” Valkyrie answered. “So what do we do now? She can't walk to the car in this state.”  
Skulduggery suggested, “Let's leave her here for the cleavers.”

Hope you liked it!

Werewolves

You've all probably read the first chapter of Kingdom of the Wicked by now. If you haven't, go read it. It's on the Skulduggery Pleasant website. Strangely, I couldn't find it, and only read it because someone gave me a direct link to the pdf. Anyway, read it first before reading this post
Derek's got werewolves. Yes, I'm over the moon (ha ha ha...). But I'm also pretty disappointed.
My story has lost all meaning. Derek has a lot of similarities with mine, but the differences are just to great for mine to continue. I had such plans for it, but knowing this, I just can't continue.
After weeks of thinking, planning, writing and re-writing, that was all I had. I doubt I'll be able to think up another SP fan-fic... I'm hugely disappointed. I guess that's it then. I'm going to delete my posts on this blog, but they'll still be on my other blog, Read This Mortals. However, I'm not going to continue it
*sighs*

A Short Little Fan Fic That I Never Got To Enter In The Competition !!! :D

Hey there, since it wouldn't let me contribute my entry to the short story competition on the Skulduggery Pleasant page i decided to write one and post it here instead. Here goes -
Valkyrie groaned, and sat up. "I told you it was a trap," she said.
"No, you said it looked like it was a trap," Skulduggery corrected. "That's completely different."
He helped her up as a door opened behind them and ...
Sadistica Tortura walked through, an unsettling smile on her lips. "Oh, what a lovely little surpise," she said in a feline tone."The famous Skeleton Detective and his assistant Valkyrie Cain. At my merciless hands," she purred. She circled them, staring ay them intently. The door opened again, but this time Drake Shadows walked through. He smiled at Skulduggery and Valkyrie then his lips met Sadistica's. As he pulled away he gave her two pairs of bounded handcuffs.
"It was great meeting you but we really must be on our way," Valkyrie said politely, steping closer to the door. Drake walked over, blocking the exit.
"You musn't leave now, the fun's just about to begin," Sadistica insisted. She walked up to Valkyrie, smelling her. Valkyrie flinched, she hated people getting to close to her. Sadistica started fiddling with Valkyries hair then yanked it suddenly. Valkyrie screamed in pain. Skulduggery went to help her but he hit a wall of shadows Drake was controlling. He sent tendrils of shadows at Skulduggery's hand, just as he was reaching for his pistol. Meanwhile, Sadistica was on top of Valkyrie, scratching at her face and neck. Valkyrie was trying to push her off before she penetrated her skin. They struggled for a bit, Valkyrie growing tired and moaning ever so often. Valkyrie finally punched Sadistica on the side of the jaw and kicked her off, sending her sprawling across the room into Drake, who was struggling with Skulduggery, making him stumble. Skulduggery used the distraction to punch him several more times, ending with a hard uppercut to the chin, knocking Drake out. He landed on top of Sadistica, who hissed and tried to claw her way out from under him. Eventually she gave up and jsut lay there. Skulduggery walked over to where his pistol lay and picked it up. He dusted it off and put it back in it's holster.
"Are you okay?" Skulduggery asked Valkyrie.
"I'm fine," she said. "Just a little sore" Valkyrie walked over to the pairs of handcuffs that Sadistica had dropped during their struggle. She tossed a pair to Skulduggery, who walked over and cuffed Drake. Valkyrie went over to Sadistica, rolled Drake to the side with Skulduggery's help and pulled her arms behind her back cuffing her. Skulduggery pulled out his phone and called the Grand Mage.
"Yes, we've got them. No, they're fine. Yes, okay we will. Just Cleavers. Thanks. Bye," Skulduggery said and hung up." The Cleavers will be here shorly, Ravel says good work." Valkyrie just groaned and slid down the wall. The Cleavers wouldn't be there for another ten minutes. She took that time to relax and think about going home. The Cleavers arrived with two other Sanctuary agents Valkyrie had met once or twice before and she got up and went to sit in the Bently to wait for Skulduggery. He told gave the agents what to do with the couple and got in the Bently. Skulduggery drove Valkyrie back to her house instead of the docks as it was so late at night that nobody would be up.
"Thanks Skulduggery, see you tomorrow," she yawned.
"Take the week off, i have some business i need to deal with and you could really use some rest," he said to her. She nodded and walked away, greatfull to have some time to herself. She walked directly below her bedroom window and made a cushion of air below her to carry her up. Whe she was at the top she open the window and let herself in. The reflection was lying in her bed, staring at her as she came in. Valkyrie said nothing as she changed into her old running shorst and an old t-shirt. The reflection walked over to the mirror and stepped inside, waiting there. Valkyrie touched the mirror and felt the memories flood through her as she got into bed and pulled the covers up to her neck. She lay there engulfed in the warmth of the covers and drifted off thinking about Fletcher.

That's all I've got so far, let me know what you think :3

D:

After this week I will have finished most of my exams and will only have three, or so, left. This means that I will be able to be more active here and I encourage all of you to be as active as you can! Even if it's only a message to Derek! Well, just to let you all know that I'd like to try and get somewhere with this in the next six weeks - because I am going on holiday in six weeks. I'll make sure to take a sketch book and pen with me when I go, so I will still be able to contribute, but won't be able to post straight away there won't be WiFi...  ¬_¬ Anyway, I just thought I should remind you guys, I guess.
If you've got any ideas for a fanfiction or anything but don't want to write it I am sure one of these guys would gladly help you out, there.
If anyone has done a crossover, that'd be awesome to be in the folder, too!

I may end up making a list of what we've got and what we could get, so if I do I will put that up, too. :')

So, I guess, GOOD LUCK AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT FOR THE FOLDER.
Even if it's a random picture or vlogs or a parody or a drawing or a HC. Oooh...HC's....Also, any random quotes from the books you like please let me know and I will split things up with a piece of paper with quote(s) on. x3 Thank you, all. <3 X

Skulduggery Sevenfold

Anyone who actually knows the band Avenged Sevenfold should see what I've done here.
Isn't the best thing in the world and doesn't relate directly to SP as such, but I wanted to do something.


Aaaaaand, I promise to do something better tomorrow...

Yes? No? Maybe? No, I know. It's terrible...


Valkyrie groaned, and sat up. “I told you it was a trap,” she said.
“No, you said it looked like it was a trap,” Skulduggery corrected. “That’s completely different.”
He helped her up as a door opened behind them and Sadistica Tortura walked through, an unsettling smile on her lips. She cradled a baguette in her arms. “Now,” she spoke. Tortura’s voice was delicate, despite her harsh Glaswegian accent. “You two have been trying to steal some of my collectables, from what I hear…” she rolled up her sleeves and breathed heavily. Tortura looked down and allowed the blonde curls to fall into her face, framing her pale face. Her eyes were prickled with tear drops, but she shook her head.
Sadistica pressed her index finger to her stomach, and then to her left forearm. Her body glowed orange as she crossed her arms across her body.  Skulduggery reached for his gun, so she flung open her arms sending surge of orange energy into them both, leaving the baguette to fall to the ground.
Skulduggery leaped forward, whereas Valkyrie dived to the left. The energy dissipated and Skulduggery retrieved the baguette and grabbed Valkyrie’s hand. Sadistica was momentarily blinded by the glowing energy and depended on her pressure sensors in her body, but this time they let her down. She felt the baguette smash into her head, she recoiled and Valkyrie took this opportunity to hurtle a ball of fire at Sadistica, torching her blonde hair.
Sadistica’s world came into focus, once again. She saw the baguette heading straight for her face, but hadn’t enough time to move and it crashed into her face, hard. She heard a crunch as the stick of bread broke in half. Valkyrie mumbled something about sparrows and winter, and then her fist met Sadistica. But Tortura came back at her with a high kick, meeting Valkyrie’s chin. Skulduggery was too busy mourning over his latest weapon. Valkyrie stumbled and almost fell, but got into a rhythm and sent shadows flying into Sadistica, pushing her away. Valkyrie reinforced this barrier with a wall of air, she pushed at it.
Sadistica’s hair was torched and her nose dripping with blood. She glared at Valkyrie and reached out her arm, as though she was about to throw her and fell to the floor. A single bullet wound through her chest, Skulduggery replaced his gun in his pocket and embraced the baguette one last time. “Rest in pieces, baguette – you were…” Skulduggery ran out of the room – cutting himself off - closely followed by Valkyrie.
“Plan?” Valkyrie shouted.
“Doors are for people with no imagination, my dear Valkyrie. There’s a window…Coat?” She tore off her coat and threw it to him.  Skulduggery’s foot made contact with the cold, hard floor once more before he propelled upwards and smashed through the stained-glass and landed elegantly on the wet grass, Valkyrie followed and tumbled in a heap.
“That was pure lunacy!”
“Well, sanity is the ability to deny anything fun…”

Keep Calm... And Fly South For Winter!

Yup!
Some of you have seen it before, some of you haven't, but I'm putting it here anyway!




"Keep calm-" *punch* "And fly south for winter." 
Some fan-art for you. 

Fanfic... Actually, fanart. :P

Hello, everyone. I would write a fanfic, as I think I am getting quite good at writing them now (EGO ALERT) but Luce has already started a wonderful fanfic, I wouldn't want to interrupt by adding mine. So, I was thinking about uploading one of my many terrible drawings. :L But I want to create a new character. I have many, MANY ideas for what to draw. AND I have planned out what the background will be like but then I thought... Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but I stopped and thought. No wonder my darwings are always so bad when I have nothing to base them on.... I should let you guys make up a character, meaning the apperance and personality, and I'll ATTEMPT to draw that character.

Either comment your ideas here or send it to my e-mail - I check my e-mail more than this blog. :L

Okay then, fellow peoples. G'bye for now.
OH. AND DON'T FORGET TO ENTER DEREK'S COMPETITION BEFORE THE 10TH. - Hannah the not so awesome blogger. (My new name for here. :P)
