The secrets of the map
Welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a great and demon-free weekend.
I spent the weekend visiting some of the spots on the map where the ghosts we've found are meant to haunt. I have to say, call me paranoid, extra-sensitive or just not wearing enough clothes, but I felt a chill and what I can only describe as a 'void' in the atmosphere in every location.
There's been talk from some corners about the ghosts we have found ""no longer walking the halls they once did." I'm afraid this is true. When I visited those locations, something was amiss, there was, what I can only describe, as a sorrow in the air.
Something or someone has started destroying the ghosts we have found, and this has happened since this site went up. I don't know who it is, or why they're doing it, but I'm determined to find out and try and put a stop to it (Lord knows how � I'm beginning to sound a bit Arnie a lot these days!) I'll keep you informed on my plans.
Sorry to finish on such a spooky note, but if any of you have any thoughts, or have visited any of the spots yourself and felt similar, do let me know.

Inheriting a Legacy
Well, as I look at my site, I'm truly astounded by the collective research powers you lot bring. The info you've amassed already is brilliant, and I'm pretty sure we're found one, if not both ghosts already. Well done!
Yesterday we saw the Swifts learning to master the craft of magic, the legacy they inherit as part of their mantle as Protectors of Albion. I just thought I'd talk a little about the Protectorship and legacy, and how it is passed on. The legacy is not genetic, it's passed onto someone chosen by the current Protector.
But the chosen recipient must have some facility to become a Protector, some inherent gift for magic and its powers. The recipient has no power until the legacy has been bestowed upon them officially.
With regard to others, there have always been Protectors of Albion. The Swifts held the legacy for most of the 19th Century, but not always. There's very little information about other Protectors past, but maybe, like me, their stories are told through their family lines and are secrets to most (until now I guess!)
Just one last point to make about terminology, which may seem pedantic, but for those of you, like me, who like to get things right, is important. The term 'Protector' is used for those, like Tamara and William, who have to describe the legacy, which can only be inherited, bestowed on them. 'Defenders' of Albion are those, both living and dead, who fight alongside the Protectors to preserve Albion.
Just like our ghosts. Without both, we would not be enjoying the life and freedom we take for granted today. And using that freedom, it's about time for a trip for some chocolate from the canteen. Bye.

The story continues
Morning all - welcome to the most exciting day in the week for those of you glued to this site. The next instalment should be live and as you can see, things are hotting up for the Swift siblings.
Now, safely (for the time being) ensconced in Nigel's house, the Swifts have a bit of time to learn to use the magical powers they have inherited. And boy do they need to.
It's looking like Tamara is the natural sorcerer of the two. Maybe her willingness to open her mind to what she previously thought were just fairy tales and stories allows her to more freely connect with the supernatural both inside and out.
But William is struggling to come to terms with things - and who can blame him? His family is either dead or possessed by evil demons and his home is overrun by horrible hybrid monsters. But these fears are holding him back, and that's not a good thing.
Oh, and we've now met our third ghost of Albion for this series, and what a fine one he is. Horatio Nelson - one of England's greatest defenders in life, now continuing his defence of the realm in death too - a true hero and brave man.
And what about Nigel, eh? We will have to wait and see where that goes...
Lastly - clues are up too - let's see what you make of this lot. Enjoy!
