I have finally started writing again, just in time. A very tiny little snippet for now, with the rest to come. The "party tonight" is about what is happening on the magical side of Turkey and the rest of the Middle East, to some extent. Then, we'll be back to Yavuz and her rapidly depleting patience.

"Good news first. The world's in great shape. Canadians jumped the gun and woke up their nice little harbor. The tidal wave that unleashed certainly made things lively. The Mill on the Meuse barely got a stopper shoved into it – remind me to find something that du Chasteler girl can appreciate and send it to her. Japanese somehow summoned one of their warcrime extravaganzas, as something positive, at least. Thanks to the Potter kid."
"Just another day at the office."
"Meanwhile, Alexander's Wall is crumbling, there are alarms blaring from at least a dozen Shayatin seals, jinn are up to something, there are gulyabani sightings after a hundred years – as if the regular shit was not bad enough – and our guy in Adana says Shahmaran is apparently interested in the waking world again."
"What's the bad news?"
"Well, the coffee is running low, you really need to handle the leak in the flush tank, and we are fresh out of troubleshooters."
"Okay, I am going to handle the tank, and you go get the coffee. And let's hope tonight's guests have a better idea about the last one. Now get going, and none of that butterfly wing shit now, we cannot afford distractions, not today."
"Alright, Ilyas, alright. I thought we agreed about you not questioning me."
"Hızır, stop trying my patience again. I am not questioning you. I am telling you to keep your hands to yourself. We are busy enough as it is. Now get moving!"
"I knew quitting the 'wander the earth and meet once a year' thing was a mistake. I am getting too old for this shit!"
