the woman who walks alone at night
“And you are certain?” Endessa’s voice rang in melody.
“You are the most suitable for this task,” An’Set answered. “He enjoys women, elves in particular. Sister cannot risk dirtying her hands-- this came directly off of the list that Aunt Elsennia crafted.”
“Pity, isn’t it? Once all her work has been carried out, do you suppose our leaders will have ceased their arguing?”
“No.”
Endessa answered him in a hum, as though she agreed with me. “Well, then help your grandmother, my hair, twist it up.”
By the time her hair was fixed up into a long, but more manageable pony tail, it had been half an hour.
“Impractical,” An’Set offered.
“Impetuous.” The elder Kaldorei answered with a smile.
“Do you remember everything from Loren’s dossier?”
“Goddess, An’Set- do not be cruel to an old woman. My mind and body are sharp as ever. And your sister--did you tell her anything?”
“Plausible deniability,” he grunt slipping a red comb into the crown of Endessa’s hair to off-set the white.
“Not ever the target’s connection to Shadeala Moonsong?”
“Irrelevant.” He offered his arm to Endessa, helping her to her feet from in front of the vanity. “Please do not create a mess, grandmother.”
Endessa scoffed, tucking her arms into her sleeves. “Please, you wound me. Ya’Til-Anath, grandson.” And this she was gone, out into the night.
There was something eldritch in the way Endessa walked, her head up, regal posture. It was not a walk- it was a glide, as though she floated across the dirty streets of Boralus.
The rain did not seem to bother her, though she looked about the streets as though she was lost. She’d been waiting for an hour for her target to break out of the bar, and the opportunity arose when the man stepped out, alone.
His grubby hand rolled a cigarette and he glued his eyes on Endessa as she came to a stop to look down either street. “Lost, dove?” he asked with a grunt of a laugh. “Let Henry tell you tha’ way-- know this city betta’ than a Proudmoore!”
Endessa covered her lips with her sleeve, chuckling softly. “Oh would you? I wished to find a place to rest for the evening, but I’m terribly lost. Is this Upton?”
Henry let out a guffaw, “No, m’lady it’s about the farthest from it. How’s about I show you tha’ way, maybe give ya a tour of the real gems of Boralus.” He grinned, offfering out an arm, which she took.
The thing about bad men, was that they often looked like every other man. Henry wasn’t any different.
Her mind shuffled through the dossier:
Henry James Ruger. Human, Thirty-nine.
Then skipped down:
Trafficking persons numbered in the thousands
Then the names, leagues of names of elves, humans-- varied in age. All labeled now, as ‘missing’ to the Alliance or Horde respectively.
When they turned down an alley, Henry’s hand dropped down her back and dangerously inappropriate, onto her bottom. “Could make a stop here, whatcha say? A fava’ for a fava’?”
Endessa’s typically kind eyes grew cold- it was, perhaps a more natural look-- one that all Duskbringer’s possessed. “Do you know what I find the most disgusting about you?”
Henry blinked, as though perplexed by the question. He did not get a second chance to respond before Endessa’s eyes pulsed dark lavender and she whipped her arm around. Out of her sleeve a knife flew and looped around him to stab Henry in the back. Before he could shout, Endessa was in front of him, her hand clapped over his mouth before she threw her weight to slam him up against the alley wall.
“It’s that you’re handsome, for a human-- handsome and charming and you’ve used your beauty this way. Now,” she swung out her air, knives filing out of her sleeve and hovering around her. Each was inscribed with arcane runes, and each responded to the Seal Maker’s will. “Tell me where your ships make birth, and when next they move. The more detail, the quicker your death.”
“Y-YOU CU--” He began, when she let her hand off, but was silenced when a second knife buried itself in his forearm. Endessa hummed.
“And if you give me something on Moonsong? Well, then perhaps you’ll have a good death.”
When she was finished, Endessa pulled, in total, nineteen knives out of Henry James Ruger’s body. Off of his body, she took everything of value-- coin purse, rings, and identification papers. Whomever found his body would likely think that Henry had brushed, unfortunately, with some maniac thief. And Endessa, she was back through in Stormwind without a trace left behind her.

Spider-man/Deadpool: Side Pieces
Spider-Man/Deadpool (Vol. 2): Side Pieces
Various Writers/Artists
Marvel Comics 2017
This offering from Marvel is aptly named. It’s called Side Pieces, because there isn’t an ongoing story here, instead we get five separate stories from five guest writers. Given that there is no continuity, it is a little uneven.
It may be uneven, but it’s still well worth reading. The Spidey/Deadpool pairing is endlessly entertaining, and basically the most fun you can have reading comics. Guest writer Penn Jillette offers up the weakest of the storylines, putting himself and stage partner Teller in the middle of the story. I don’t blame him, if I was writing a Deadpool comic, I’d squeeze myself in it as well.
The strongest by far is a Christmas story brought to us by comedian Paul Scheer with Nick Giovannetti. In this one, Deadpool and Spidey have to save Christmas after Saturn (the God, not the planet) comes to the present day angry because his bachannalian holiday of Saturnalia has been turned into soft and fuzzy Christmas.
Besides those two, we get a romp through Hollywood (possibly the most fourth wall breaking Deadpool comic ever), a blast to the past with a sixties-themed story, and an excellent story where some coven of witches slash boarding school girls in Toronto summon Deadpool’s soulmate, which winds up being Spider-Man. (Cue all shippers!)
Even though there is no continuity with the rest of the Spider-Man/Deadpool series, this is highly recommended for avid readers, but possibly even more highly recommended for those just trying to dip their toes into graphic novels and don’t know where to start.
