DarkSider News: November 2025 - General News!

      





"Pain sears through my cheek, my shoulder, my back. I'm sprawled across the floor, my face pressed to the boards and my hip lodged painfully against the fireplace. I wince at the pounding in my head, so furious it's like a tiny person's inside there, attempting to jack-hammer their way out. My eyes cautiously flicker open, and I blink, trying to focus. The last thing I remember is hollering a string of Latin at a pissed-off ghost as it heaved me skyward and tossed me across the room. After that, nothing."
