Pethach, "affectionately" known as Peth to those who loved and loathed her in equal measure, was Phage's mother and clan ruler of a bunch of utterly dark witches. This woman, this "doorway", was super-skilled, super-powerful, and super-scary. You did not mess with her. How Phage had come out of her care relatively unscathed by the experience until I "kidnapped" her is still beyond me—even now, sixteen years later, Peth hadn't forgiven me. She made it clear every time we met. The woman and her gang of witch bitches were so far down the rabbit hole of dark magic that I would have preferred we had absolutely nothing to do with any of them.

But that's family, right?

What's the saying? You get to choose your friends, but your family should be avoided at all costs if they enjoy raising the dead for kicks?

Something like that anyway.

They took Necro to the extreme. They were true Necromancers. Many could morph, if not all of them, and they dabbled in things that would turn your hair white with fright if you even got a glimpse. They played on the edge of sanity, and many, including Peth, had paid the price. They were obsessed, enraptured, and half-insane because of the things they did, the powers they played with, and the sights they'd seen.

And they loved it.

Magic, this thing, this energy, pervades the Necroverse, the multitude of worlds that includes the human realm and those associated with it, but the Necroverse also includes much deeper, darker realms never meant to be accessed by the human mind or soul. Where corrupt eldritch horrors lurk, right out of Lovecraft's imagination. He must have caught glimpses of these places, these colossal creatures born of stars, riding out eternity in unfathomable places. Taking on horrific, unimaginable forms that made no sense to the human mind. With brains the size of moons, thoughts so alien, so all-encompassing, vast, and unlike our thought processes, that to encounter such a being would turn your mind to mush in an instant.

And this is what they sought, what they encountered. They felt it their mission to discover as much about the Necroverse as was possible, seeking out encounters with the colossi of the universe, the hidden realms where the beasts slept away the millennia in the gaps between realities.

To be blunt, they were a bunch of fucking lunatics. But they did have nice hair.

I dwelled on Peth and her mad bunch of witches as we moved off the roads and into what I guess you'd have to call an enchanted forest. Hidden by the witches' magic, the dirt track to their compound was impossible to traverse unless you knew the access points and were given safe passage. The track knew who was and wasn't allowed, and if you weren't on the list you would never find them, never even get close.

They were a closed community, special invite only. Which meant they lived how they wanted, did as they pleased, and answered to no-one.

Almost no-one.

They still got their notes.
