  • The Hollow Globe

    24 janvier 2014 ( #Dundee, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    I am on my feet, rested, walking down the Law towards my gloomy destination. I think I can't really realize what I'm doing, I think nobody has ever done what I am about to do. This Globe has been built by my ancestors when the Limlight river was disappearing...and...

  • Demonstration of force #6

    27 janvier 2014 ( #I'm powerful, #Mission: The hollow globe, #St Andrews )

    Here I was, at St Andrews, just teleported from The Hollow Globe at Dundee. Traveled through time AND space! I'm getting more powerful, I even flew to this branch of the nearest tree to see the school from closer. Normal. And even though I'm over-exhausted,...

  • The capture

    03 février 2014 ( #St Andrews, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    So here I am, on my way to the sea, hoping to be able to engrave my new powers so that mother nature knows that now, I am back on my feet. The downhill slope is steep and my tiredness is showing up, but I go on to my target: the end of this pier where...

  • Neptune's staircase

    13 décembre 2013 ( #Inverness shire, #My mission, #Highlands, #My origins, #Fort William, #Mission: Caledonian canal )

    Finally, I was at Fort William at the begining of the Caledonian canal. I arrived after several days of travel and I was really exhausted, but I knew my answer was close and I was motivated in knowing where she was. It was 7 months I hadn't any news from...

  • Riding Nessie

    10 mars 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire, #I'm powerful )

    After having seen these weird animals which must have been really disturbed by the ghost train line which existed a while ago, I am decided to continue my travel and to explore the little village of Fort Augustus and its locks. I first decide to check...

  • In the Brown Mountains

    16 avril 2014 ( #Inverness shire, #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Nessie )

    Here I am, back on the road, again. Going from Fort Augustus to Inverness via the Southern road, which comes across a special environment. Arid and deserted. No grass, neither trees. This region of the South of the Loch Ness is famous because this is...

  • Dundee

    13 janvier 2014 ( #Mission: The hollow globe, #Dundee )

    After a long journey through Scotland and awesome landscapes, I finally arrive in Dundee, sunniest city in the region...but cold as Glasgow! I know that I want to reach the Hollow Globe, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack: the city is so...

  • Walking on the law

    21 janvier 2014 ( #Dundee, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    "What an adventure!" My head is still with the dragon I just overpowered when I'm leaving Dundee low to go to Dundee law., Yes, this is what I have to do: walk on this little hill, called the "Law", and have a look at the entire city of Dundee, trying...

  • Engraving my powers

    14 février 2014 ( #St Andrews, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    Here I am, along the sea. It is just in front of me. It's been a "day" that I'm running after the sun to arrive before it sets over St Andrews beach. A "day", because when you travel around 12 hours forward in time, your body thinks it is 12 days and...

  • Road Road, quick quicker

    28 février 2014 ( #Inverness shire, #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact )

    On the road, I'm travelling. Fighting the sun. And sometimes Okra takes awesome pictures on sunrays over the mountains. I know I enhance the pictures, and I am sure that's why Okra keeps taking pictures of me, but for this one, the nature was beautiful...

  • The University of St Andrews

    10 février 2014 ( #St Andrews, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    Even if I am exhausted by my capture and release thanks to Merry Fisher, I am on my way to the beach of St Andrews, and I come across the University of Saint Andrews. In this place, there is so much knowledge that when you enter, you feel more intelligent!...

  • Cairngorms

    17 février 2014 ( #Inverness shire, #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact )

    Barely rested from my adventures in Dundee and St Andrews, I'm back on the road heading to the Loch Ness. I have to find the Enlightenment Artifact, an magical item that may exist if my instructors were right, and if it hasn't disappeared with all these...

  • The Cathedral of St Andrews

    29 janvier 2014 ( #St Andrews, #Mission: The hollow globe )

    On my way to the sea to engrave my new magic powers, I have to pass by the old and destroyed Cathedral of St Andrews. And since what happened with the Hollow Globe, I am feeling very tired, each movement is an effort for me. But anyway, I have to go on...

  • The rush day

    26 février 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    The sun just rose over the Loch Ness and my day to find the Enlightenment Artifact began with it. This item can be found only when the sun is shining over it, in this case it is emiting a distinctive color which I am able to see, since my eyes are not...

  • Cookies Contest + The new college of the Mound

    24 octobre 2013 ( #Edinburgh, #My origins )

    Hey ya! One of the more famous and medieval college of Edinburgh is the College of the New Mound. It's close to the castle and is very "typical Edinburgh". It's been a long time I did my studies, even though we went to the School of Theology. These students...

  • Who Nessie is

    19 avril 2014 ( #Inverness shire, #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Nessie )

    So here I am, at the very point where Hernesbit was when he killed all these people to create the Enlightenment artifact. And while many people were being killed, amonsgt them some members of my family, this ball of white was being filled with dark light....

  • My feelings

    30 avril 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    My feelings, my instinct, my believes, my perceptions, my senses and my convictions all led me to this place where I am now, far from where I was abducted. It will soon be seven months I escaped from my place and my quest seems to take ages, even though...

  • Suspicion

    12 mars 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    I am climbing the Caledonian canal, thinking about questions like "Why am I here?" or "Where is she, now?". I know these are tough question and I think that Okra would tell me to stop if she could speak, because she's my only fellow traveller and I think...

  • Solving the problem

    26 mars 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    I'm on this giant wheel which is spinning towards my death, and I don't even know what happenned after my black hole, but certainly somebody took advantage of it. The fact is that now, I am stuck on this wheel and I can't move. "Think think think..."...

  • The Glenfinnan Viaduct

    20 décembre 2013 ( #Inverness shire, #My mission, #Highlands, #Loch Shiel, #Mission: Caledonian canal )

    Here I was, perched on this branch. One eye glancing at the Loch Shiel, the other looking at what my final destination: The Glenfinnan viaduct. I have to say that this piece of art is well-known: a guy named Harry Potter used to take a train which comes...

  • The Enlightenment artifact

    19 mai 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    Here I am, approaching an instrument which killed thousands of people. The thing which killed my father. The thing which changed the life of thousands of minds, families and marked generations of magicians. I am looking at this object and when comparing...

  • New direction

    20 mai 2014 ( #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact, #Inverness shire )

    I have the Enlightenment artifact. It's in my hands. It's difficult to behave normaly because, as I was expecting, it transform my mind into a battlefield. It's the first time I feel these sensations and it's not pleasant. At all. I feel all these lives...

  • To the waterfall

    23 avril 2014 ( #Inverness shire, #Mission: The Enlightenment Artifact )

    I am pursuing my journey along the Loch Ness, remembering who Nessie really is. Although I know there is no point to think too much about his, it's something which hurts me and hurts many people like me in the little village I was before being abducted....

  • The hint

    16 décembre 2013 ( #Inverness shire, #My mission, #Highlands, #Fort William, #Mission: Caledonian canal )

    So I was on this lock, walking toward the other bank of Nepture's stairecase, where there was this life belt. As I was approaching the belt, I was realizing who else was there. Actually he was not exactly on the belt, but inside the black box which was...

  • Up north

    02 décembre 2013 ( #Inverness shire, #Loch Lomond, #Highlands, #Trossachs, #My mission, #Mission: Caledonian canal )

    My journey up to the north began here: Loch Lomond & Luss. Why up north? Last time I talked about this black Thursday. When I got abducted they gave me pills and I can't remember everything. But I remember the words "canal" and "lock", and I know the...
