          A cold moon shone over the streets of St. Louis. The light reflected in the dark glass of the quiet office buildings. It shone on the surface of the Mississippi River, travelling quietly down its course on the winter night.  And it glistened in the pool of blood spreading under the dying man lying on a quiet street. His trembling hand tried in vain to quench the flow seeping from the gunshot wound in his stomach, but he was growing too weak to apply the necessary force.  Usually he was so careful, but he hadn’t seen the mugger coming. He hadn’t heard him either. But he had given him ever...neCone door

    In which a necromancer speaks

Typically, it would too, so it was an altogether reasonable assumption that this would not have been an exception to this rule.

    The Dragon's Hoard

    Once upon a time, there was a man called the Phantom Thief who was notorious for stealing treasures hidden across the world. He owned an island for his hoard and summoned a mystical dragon to safeguard his treasures there. The dragon was happy to accept such a task as it loved shiny objects. Its golden scales, an extremely rare trait for a dragon, could absorb the radiation emitted from golden objects, especially coins that were made of red gold, and convert it to nutritious energy, granting it more power. It could go on without food as long as it lay near the piles of red golden coins, occasi...neCone door
