You can find it here: Replace Never With Always - A Final Goodbye

I don't usually get much time for reading, at least not fiction. I've been getting into fairytales recently, though. @chaosofshadow has a whole bookshelf full of 'em, so I sometimes pick a book and read a tale or two while he makes dinner. You really can learn a lot from fairytales, did ya know?

I'm not sure it's fair to call her my apprentice. Really, it was more like the opposite.

There is still much he could learn. For one, I never had the chance to teach him the art of seduction; one of my most useful tools, really... But I suppose he'll have to figure that one out himself.

In his defence, though, at least he was a better teacher than the guy who settled for simply thrusting a katana into my gut.

The Mausoleum of Second Chances, in the Caledonian Garden. It's a place for reflection and truth; there, surrounded by songbirds, is where the divine winds will strip you bare of your sins. And though the truth may hurt, they say it's also the key to growth.

It's tidy, because I hate clutter. It's impersonal, because I don't see a reason to personalise my workplace. But it's also perfectly designed to guide your attention towards where I want it, and away from where I don't.

...You were the landmine, and I, the grenade; but though our time together was brief, I am glad we spent it dancing.

I don't remember the title of the song, but there was one I used to enjoy once. I think it went something like, "And now that death will grow my jasmine; They've withered, now they've gone".
