Harlock Series Update #14 - The Demonologist
Fineas guided Harlock through the door of his lab, it was a massive stone structure with a circle of gold and laid into the floor
Harlock let out a low whistle when he stepped through the door. The place had huge stone columns that were marked with all sorts of arcane ritual symbols. The gold circle that was inlaid into the floor was also surrounded by precious gems of all kinds.

With a complex movement of his fingers, Vulture conjured a swirling portal. He was about to step through with a struggling Clair when a small explosion rocked him. Harlock had missed his target but had managed to recover enough to lob an explosion at him.
“Oh Harlock, I really wish you would just stay down when I put you down.” Vulture snarled, throwing Clair through the portal.
“No!”…

Harlock awoke with a start. He was momentarily confused about where he was. He then remembered what had happened and how he got to where he was.
“Oh wow, I don’t want to do that again anytime soon.” he said standing up and stretching his aching hips. He approached a shaken Clair. “Is everything okay?” he asked leaning down to look her in the eyes.
“I was gone for so long…but it’s only been…

It didn’t take long for Harlock to lose track of the number of dream cycles they had been slung through. He only knew that if he didn’t do something fast their bodies would begin to catch up and decay just as quickly. While his body felt floaty and a long way off he could still feel the drain starting to take hold in him. Probably a bit slower given his magical nature.
“Espellium Retracto!” he…

The next morning Harlock expected to see Claire sitting around the warehouse recovering from her night of drinking. But he finds the warehouse empty save himself, this isn’t how he expected the morning to go and something just felt off.
Knowing that she would be furious that he violated her privacy in such a manner, he still felt that with everything going on it was a good idea to try to scry…

Back at the warehouse they were trying to piece together what The Dark Man was hoping to accomplish.
“So, he causes nightmares in people. Why have a research facility. Unless…uh…” Harlock looked at Clair.
“Does he feed on nightmares?” she suggested. Harlock shook his head.
“Not according the book on demonology I got from the Grand Library. It’s unclear what the writers knew about him.…

“We’ve seen an uptick in our patients and thus we’ve had to add extra rooms and the like.” Dr. Graystone was saying as he guided them through past darkened rooms on the floor where patients slept.
“What brings them here?” Clair asked.
“They are all sufferers of varying degrees of parasomnia. Uh, a variety of sleep disorders such as nightmares, insomnia, and so on. We’ve been experimenting…

“Are you sure you’re not getting anything?” Harlock asked Clair as they were working on a project inside of his warehouse.
“Nothing.” Claire said despondently.
They have been trying for hours to see if they were able to get any kind of psychic ability out of her. So far they have come up with absolutely nothing.
“Did you try this one?” He asked tapping a large book in front of him. She…

“The Dark Man is a demon that goes back a long way. You ever wake up in the middle of the night and everything in your room looks like it’s trying to kill you?”
“Sleep paralysis? Not in years but yeah I have experienced it.” He said.
“Well that’s one of his special little gifts to the world. He causes nightmares to spill over into the world of the living. It creates these strange…fugue…

“Good evening!” He said to the young girl as she was leaving the house. She paused and reached into her pocket like she was going to withdraw a weapon.
“Wait wait wait!” Harlock said nervously, “I can help you. I know that you’re being followed. Or at least I think you are.” He said. After all someone would certainly be after a powerful psychic like her far before the Library even caught on.

Harlock was enjoying a nice meal at the boardwalk restaurant that he often frequented. He wasn’t expecting anything from the Grand Library today and he had even written to them and told them that he was not looking forward to any quests for the next week as he needed some downtime.
They, of course, neglected to answer him and he was fully expecting them to recant any kind of vacation time that…

Outside of the apartment building I ran into an old man. He seemed disoriented. I figured he was just one of those good ol’ boys who probably had too much at the bar and was trying to find his apartment. I almost regretted my decision to help him.
“Are you alright, sir?” I asked. He looked at me through bleary eyes and then up at the apartment building.
“I can’t get in. Why can’t I get in?”…

She sighed. I gave her a few minutes to compose herself. When she spoke her voice was barely above a whisper.
“It comes at night.” she said staring not at me but rather through me. Probably recollecting the events that lead up to this visit. “I don’t now how you found me but I am grateful that you have.” she said. “It likes to torment me with visions of my family dying horribly. I know its not…

My name is Harlock. I think I should go ahead and get the awkward part out of the way. I’m a magician. A magic user. I specialize in a variety of magical skills but I really don’t like the ritualized magic that my school taught me. I like to be freeform. So I kind of think of myself as an artist. They would disagree. I think the like the word ‘degenerate’.
Anyway, the only way that I could…

Learning Experiences
Harlock has been a true learning experience in the world of blog based publishing. I am so happy that I’ve been able to learn this. It has really helped shape me as a writer in a digital age and has helped ease a lot of my anxiety about my goals for 2020.
That said I’m going to be making some tweaks and changes from my research into writing a better webnovel. I was going to wait until Part 2…
