Black Briar

There is havoc and mayhem aplenty in New Gotham, but Sybille L. Prince, for her part, manages to sleep through most of it. The spindle witch has already tried living in this world, and found it distinctly wanting. When she must be awake, Sybille spends her time working at Briar Alchemy, mixing potions and poisons for some of New Gotham’s leading storymavens, and caring for unfortunate souls. However, it would seem that Enid the Hag has had enough of Sybille’s constant lack of respect for anything but chocolate, sleep, and sharp, pointy objects. Beware the elderly, for they are crafty… Suddenly, Sybille finds herself the subject of a monster’s stony gaze. (Oh, gag me--it’s him.) One of Club Brimstone’s guardians, Nova is a gargoyle and a dreamspinner, a creature with the ability to walk and bend the astral plane. He’s also Sybille’s ex-lover. To date, he’s been the only one with the strength (and patience) to deal with Sybille's madness. Sybille throws every hellacious vision she’s got at the gargoyle, desperate to keep him from haunting her dreams, but the gargoyle is determined she see reason. Not that it’ll be easy. Of course not. (It is her after all.) He’s going to have to step into Sybille’s mind, into her world, and onto her turf. Beware, good sir, for here be dragons…
