The Pin of Alchemy Masters in The Katy Lily Series

Alchemy: The Orphic Egg Pin

The Orphic Egg in the Ancient Greek Orphic tradition is the cosmic egg from which hatched the primordial hermaphroditic deity Phanes/Protogonus who in turn created the other gods. The egg is often depicted with a serpent wound about it. Alchemy masters choose this as their symbol as they tend to create something great from something common. Though Alchemy is most commonly known for the philosopher’s stone, which is a legendary substance, allegedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold. It was sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. In the Katy Lily Series Alchemy can turn objects into Gold without the stone. The stone is to become close to immortal. However no self respecting person in the Katy Lily Series would create the stone. The Stone takes the blood of at least 150 infants and many other sacrifices to create. It is the goal of a true evil to make one of these stones.

Survival: Zombies

Random WIP: Survival: Zombies

It all started on what my family would have called a perfect Halloween night, foggy just enough chill in the air and a fine mist. The problem… It was March 14th and what was going on was no trick or treaters. It was something far worse. It was something we never imagined. It was something we only thought was for horror movies and novels. We never imagined we would see the day the dead would walk the Earth… Or what we would have to do to survive. But maybe we should have; after all even the Bible states:

“But your dead will live; their bodies will rise
Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead
Go, my people, enter your rooms, and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while …until his wrath has passed by”

But there is no place to hide. There is no place to run. There is only Survival…
