Sylum Inspiration: Maura Isles

rizzoli-isles-tnt

Camelot/Tallikut: Member

 

Maura doesn’t remember much of her early life.  She does recall being picked up by an older gentleman with a snowy white beard.

She grew up in a good standing Irish family, wanting for nothing as a child.  She asked a lot of questions and read everything she could get her hands on.  When she decided to be a doctor, her father tried to persuade her that it was not a fitting career for a young lady, but even he knew it was hopeless telling her so.

She fought for her education.  She fought to be recognized.  It was the inspiration of Marion Dubois that kept her going.

When she felt comfortable with her life, she went and found her savior – the man with the snowy white beard, Noah MacManus.  And she politely asked to be Turned.

Coffee House Friday

American Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

I could give you my Thanksgiving Rant but you know at this moment I’m thinking we need more positive than negative.

So – What are you Thankful for?  What traditions do you have with family/friends or just for yourself?

Reminder: Still need volunteers to help me with promoting Conversations in Real Time.

Come on guys – there are over 700 of you on this blog – a few of you could give me a hand.

Sylum Advent 2016: Last Check In

bar-banner_advent2016

Sylum Inspiration: Harry Dresden

Tallikut: Member

 

(Dilios Note: Not much is known about Dresden, but he advertises in the Yellow Book as Wizard.  Most information is speculation or rumor, or my very good investigation skills.  I know he knows I wrote all this – the fact it’s not disappeared either means I’m fully wrong or he trusts me.  At least he won’t kill me like the Assassins – just turn me into a frog.  Maybe…)

Dresden had a wife and son, and circle of friends, and was well respected in his village.

It all went to hell, when his best friend, Robert, lost his wife and set out to bring her back, in a way that went against all the laws of nature, and the deeply held beliefs of their village.  In the end Robert still lost his wife, and was punished severely, along with his wife’s brother Pearly.

Dresden, going against his village, took Robert into his care afterwards.

It’s not known for sure what happened exactly, but not many years after that, the village was destroyed.

Only two of its people survived.
