Author’s Note: This is from a series of daily writings I did on my tumblr called: Afternoon Fic. It started off as a simple scene, that turned into a larger story.
We’re highlighting specific Saint Days that are relevant with in the Sylum Universe.
St. Patrick is important in many aspects of storyline – from Monseigneur Kiernen to St. Patrick of Conclave.
***
Saint Patrick was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the “Apostle of Ireland”, he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-apostles and the Enlightener of Ireland.
The dates of Patrick’s life cannot be fixed with certainty but there is broad agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the 5th century. Early medieval tradition credits him with being the first bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, and they regard him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland, converting a society practising a form of Celtic polytheism. He has been generally so regarded ever since, despite evidence of some earlier Christian presence in Ireland.
According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as a bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick’s Day is observed on 17 March, the supposed date of his death. It is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland, it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation; it is also a celebration of Ireland itself.

Last year we had a series of Sylum Essays! They ranged from Vampire Relationships to Modern Sensibilities and Sylum Characters.
With the recent update on the blog, we were able to pull all these together plus some older Blog Discussions (way back in the day) under ‘Sylum Articles’.
Today we’re re-highlighting: Vampire Relationships!
The Relationships between Vampires can be vast and complex. The Sire/Childe Bond, Mate Bond, and other type of Bonds are not always simple and cookie cutter. Every Bond is different. Every relationship is different.
Kinda like every day relationships.
It’s not as simple as two Vampires come together as Mates and they live happily ever after. No relationship works that way. Even being Soul Mates knowing that they are destined to be together, and if one is to die the other follows – isn’t going to stop the OMG you left your damn shoes in the middle of the God Damn Hallway again!! It’s also not going to always tie the two so tightly together that there is no one else in the picture.

Lily is the twin sister of Laurie.
They lost their father when they were four years old. They don’t remember much, but knew their mom cried a lot, until Riddick came into their lives and helped where he could.
They knew something happened to their Uncle Riddick, he was gruffer and more reserved after the nice blonde man had died.
He came in and out of their lives, always making sure mom and them were taken care of. After mom died, he stayed in New York intent to find them good husbands. They disagreed.
He took them back to New Orleans and handed them over to Queen Moussette so they could finish their education and be proper ladies. He had no idea she was also teaching them how to fight, bringing in the warrior he saw roaming New Orleans a few times that only talks to Nico.
They finally approached him and informed they both wanted to be Turned.
He really couldn’t say no.
We’ll be dedicating a whole week to our favorite Italian … no not Nico
Nico: Wait! Excuse me!
Ernesto: *smirks*
Ezio: Somehow I got dissed in the middle of this! Am I not handsome?
Nico: No one can see your face *flicks the hood*
Ezio: Doesn’t stop the ladies from loving me!
Ernesto: *eyerolls*
Seriously I can’t even make a post without you two taking over it.
At least the Welshman isn’t here!
*glares* Stay out of this Count of Monte Cristo
As I was saying!
We’ll be having a weeks worth of posts dedicated to …
Ernesto Olivetti Inspector General of Vatican Security!
So what will this week consist of?
Well you’re just going to have to wait and find out.
Since there was only one person who signed up for Spring Fling, it was decided that this years Spring Fling would be cancelled – as you really can’t have an Event with one Entry.
The one person who did sign up will get a Special Guest Post in the upcoming months to showcase their entry.
I would like to take this moment to remind everyone, that the main Sylum Writers & Artists can’t always do it by ourselves. We have RL and shit happens. Which is why we encourage participation in all the Sylum Events. So keep that in mind when Seven Days of Summer and Sylum Advent Sign Ups appear.
There are two new additions into the Sylum Garage!
The Impala and John Winchester’s Truck.
Sylum: Hunter
Dean was born to John and Mary Winchester January 24, 1979 in Lawerence, Kansas. When he was four years old, he was excited at his brother Samuel Winchester’s birth. Six months later, his life was destroyed when Balthazar entered their home and killed Mary. John handed Sammy into four year old Dean’s arms and told him to run. Since then he has taken care of his brother, never truly letting him go.
Raised on the road, trained to hunt Vampires, Dean learned to live the life of a nomad. He barely stayed in one school long enough to make friends, but remained loyal to his father John Winchester and brother Sammy. Among the few bright moments in his life are when he and Sammy stayed with Bobby Singer who taught him everything about cars.
As he got older he began to take hunts on his own, running into Maxine Guevera and Logan Cale. Not truly understanding Vampires and the Clan System, he just figured that Vampires weren’t all bad like his father had preached. When he returned home from the hunt he discovered that Sammy had been keeping secrets, and had left the family for college.
Four years later he showed up on Sam’s doorstep with news: their dad had gone missing while hunting. After following a few leads and finding nothing, Dean took Sam back to Stanford, only to discover that Balthazar had come back into their lives, killing Sam’s girlfriend. Swearing to hunt the man down, Sam set out again on the hunt with Dean.
Balthazar soon found them. Dean willingly handed his life over to save Sam’s.
