Just read this in a semi haze (you know why 🙃) and yes, very much agree with Dan's comment. A delightful mix of SciFi, cosmic horror and adventure all wrapped up into one.

Again I want to highlight how well you do Bellatrix and give her such character in her lines. There was one line in particular that I wanted to quote but just tried to find it and couldn't. It's a tucked away somewhere there. I'll read again when I'm not quite so groggy.

Thanks a million, my friend. Someone take this man's phone away and let him sleep some more! You get well, you hear? Got to get ready for the big finale, with pretzels.

Pretzels galore. Someday soon I might feel like eating. When I do, I'll enjoy a pretzel 🥨

Another brilliant chapter, Alexander. Combining adventure, comedy, science fiction and cosmic horror in a rollicking story of ancient mysteries that only you could pull off 😁

Excellently done 👍🏼

“Infinite cosmic power. All mine. MINE!“ his maniacal laughter turned into a scream as a tentacle shot up and spread and merged with his head." EEUWW...

"..but we all could use a change of clothes, especially Polkadot and Fleasack here, and I’ve had enough alien pods, crazy Germans – no offence Professor – and brain-eating tentacles for one day." URP! YA THINK?

"We almost died – again, and now we’re sitting here eating fish and chips as if nothing has happened." NICE TRANSITION

“I say we torture her. She’ll talk." I LOVE THAT GIRL.
