    The next morning Marisol showed up with dark smudges under her eyes and sort of listless. On her back was a small, floral backpack, with the tiny lizard gargoyle perched on it. Everything about the gargoyle was distinctly female—the rounded face, the dark lining around her almond shaped eyes, the dainty nose, the long, elegant tapering tale and the delicate point to her ears. Even the fine lines of her skin were more flowing and organic rather than scaly. “Jamie, Hawking,” Marisol said once we in the library. “This is my gargoyle.” The little lizard held her thee-fingered paw out. It reminded me of a chameleon claw. “Prisisima, but you may call me Pris.” As if we were sharing social introductions at an informal party, I took her paw…

Thus, one can assume the same story can be attributed to the architecture in that a story of the reuniting of heaven and earth during the end times is taking place. In the lower half of the…

    Pawl, the Court Healer and a widower, had a problem with drink for years and years until he’d recently married Lady Lindara. Now he was fit and happy, but still brewing up his tincture for those in need, like Gawain. “Bless you, Perceval.” Gawain uncorked the bottle, pinched his nose, and downed the gelatinous, repulsive fluid in one go, gagging the moment it slid down his throat. The taste and texture was that of a rotten egg. However, since this was the only effective remedy he knew of, he…

    Honesty is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. In both stories, Kemp and the narrator of The Gargoyle build strong relationships with another individual that is based upon false pretences. This deceit that lies within their relations with others disrupts the stability they achieve and presents them with opportunities to be resilient.

    When i did the Reductor Cu5rse I waved my wand in a sideways V with the bottom of my wnd pointing towards the right. Then i kept my focous high so I was able to break the gargoyle into lots of pieces.

    hears a “high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror” followed by a pistol shot. Rainsford has hunted every animal known to man, so it is unsettling that he does not recognize this one. He is even comforted by the gunshot, and continues swimming towards what he believes to be civilized human beings. Foreshadowing is laced heavily throughout the beginning to intrigue the reader and make them think. As the story moves on, Connell uses vivid descriptions to…

    also an important way to be able to look back into the past. We can see the gothic architecture of Sydney in the 1800’s and 1900’s well preserved in the gargoyles, towering arches, cherubs and angels that are placed all over the building, and we can take a glimpse into the funeral methods back in that time period. It is uncommon to find a remaining historical building like of this type, making this mortuary extremely special to Australia. For the protection of this magnificent time travelling…
