Happy Blog Day Everyone!
A quick update on things is the order of the day! Before we get to the briefest of blogs today, we better see how Brennan and Riz are dealing with that Snake Zombie (or was it Zombie Snake?)...
The Comic Tales of Brennan and Riz
At last! We get to action! Not that Riz wanted it to go down this way of course. We're definitely closer to the end than the beginning (or at least, I'd like to think we are).
Sadly, that last panel turned out nothing like I envisioned it in my head, my desire exceeded my skill once again. Hopefully next time it'll be better.
Let's see if Kurz is having any better luck at dealing with Mason and his goons!
Phantom Dawn: Memories of a Rose

"We can't let him do this!" Rose said, but Neal stopped her.
"You'd only put Kurz in more danger. Mason is too #happy, that overconfidence...Well just watch. This isn't Kurz's first gun fight..."
"Ready boys!" Mason called out. "Ready! Aim..."

Had Mason not let his #vanity take point over the job, he would never had let Kurz get close. He did though, just like Kurz knew he would. With a flurry of movement, Kurz's rope moved quickly, lassoing the guns and using them to knock the men out.

With a thwack, the last enforcer fell, unconscious. Mason twisted his lip, any sense of ease washing away with his confidence.
"What's wrong Mason, you look #demure," Kurz freed the gun from his lasso, tossing it aside. "I hate guns." He said.

Mason lunged forward with his fist. A move Kurz was prepared for as he threw the lasso around Mason's wrist.
"One of these days, your #covetus hands is going to get you killed!" Kurz said, sliding underneath the brute, dragging him down.

Mason lifted his head up from the floor, in shock over what had just happened. Enraged, he stood and grabbed the rope that Kurz had wrapped round his wrist.
"We'll see how your #Virtue holds up when I strangle you!" Mason pulled hard on the rope.

If Mason had seen the smile on Kurz face as he started pulling the rope, he may of reconsidered the action, but it was too late for that.
"Thanks for being so #Generous as to help me out!" Kurz said, planting his heavy boot in Mason's face.

Watching Mason rub his eyes, Kurz tightened the grip on his rope.
"I'm going to pull you apart!" Mason screamed.
"Not used to losing are you? Avarice isn't a good replacement for a spine!" Kurz sneered. "I'm ending this now, on my terms!"
(First posted 8th June 2021)
Kurz dodged a blow, falling in the process. He used the moment to toss the lasso round a small rock, behind Mason, who laughed:
"This is your #noble effort?"
"No, this is," Kurz threw the other end of the rope around the brute, binding him tight.
(First posted 9th June 2021)
Mason struggled to get free but his #wrath fizzled out.
"That rope was made to bind monsters, You ain't getting out!" Kurz said, letting a smile cross his face.
Neither realised they were being watched from afar by a tawdry looking man...

"Argh!" Mason fell to the ground with a thud. He heard footsteps behind him, and turned his head, starring straight into Rose's glaring face. For a split second, he was #loving the sight, lost in her beauty. Then he remembered how strong she was...

"What do we do with him?" Rose asked.
"Prison, he's one less problem for us," Kurz replied.
"Finch will spring me," Mason laughed. Bullets blasted the sand near him, leaving a symbol that Mason recognised and feared.
"#Eros! No!" He called out.
Who is Eros? What lies in store for our heroes? Find that out next week!
Update 16/08
As said above, there isn't a lot to discuss this week. There's a lot going on, but it sadly isn't writing related. I can hear the steampunk story crying out for editing work, the cast of Ghost Duty begging for their next journey to start...To say nothing of my other works...Brennan and Riz are taking a nicely deserved break in all of this.
Oh, but for more time!
Next week though...Then we'll have something to discuss! As I'll get to talk about a certain little character in much more focus...
Till then,
Keep on writing!
