Astor likes to pretend that he is the greatest person to have ever graced the world but it is all an elaborate ruse to prevent others from wanting to get close to him. Due to his empathic and telepathic abilities, Astor knows that most people would not give him the time of day should the truth of what he is be learned and so he actively ensures that most people won’t like him, which typically involves him acting in a way that is the most amusing to himself at the expense of others. However, no armor is 100% impervious and every so often Astor runs across a person he knows can accomplish great things if only they were given the chance. Meg is such a person.
Astor never wanted to be friends with Meg, but once Meg figured out his game the friendship was inevitable. Part of the reason that Astor inevitably helped Meg was that Meg is descended from Astor’s brother (not that he’d ever tell this). Astor’s been secretly and not so secretly helping out the descendents of his brother’s family for generations. He hasn’t always been successful, Meg wouldn’t be the last surviving family member if he was, but helping gave his afterlife some focus.
It’s those two. They are totally up to legal, respectable activities in the land of infinite gold and jewels. 😉
Things may or may not happen. The next page will tell all.

Fae doesn’t remember anything that happened outside of her mind between the middle of chapter 3 and the beginning of chapter 5. For all Fae knew there was a gap of time she couldn’t account for but the affect… Continue reading 07
Astor enjoys getting under people’s skin.
Fae is not amused. Astor is always amused. Meg may one day join a side of the amusement battle but is just relieved to not be the focus of attention, for now. Enya and Adrik may or may not be amused when they realize the situation. To be (amused) or not to be (amused), that… Continue reading 09
As much as Astor loves to play with people, he can and will hold a grudge until he has the chance to get even. My new apartment is a sea of boxes. This upcoming week is my last week of classes and the week after that is finals. My apartment may be a sea of… Continue reading 10
Astor’s making a list of those who have offended him. The new character’s name is Bjorn. His name was never really intended to be a surprise or anything but I just realized that his name doesn’t come up in conversation for about another 10 pages.
Astor always gets even for perceived offenses; he just prefers to get even and be helpful all in one go.
