[Within That Dark A Single Flame, Anomaly, Woe Is Me]
Calm down! You only need to remember one thing!
What? What do I need to remember?
Protect the children! Pine needles! Duck! Don't break any stained glass windows! Scream! Wipe the blood from your left eye! Cut the arrow in mid-air before it hits your wife. I can see again! Please make it stop! Flowers! I can’t breathe! I just need a cold stream! You’re injured! Don’t look down! No, that's wrong? I’m injured! Prioritise the woman with the crossbow! A cold stream! You... No... I have an arrow in your leg? That’s wrong? I have an arrow in my leg? Focus? Prioritise! I’m so thirsty! There’s an arrow in your left thigh? In my left thigh? Prioritise! Kill him first! You love the smell of pine needles!
That’s more than one thing to remember?
It’s all fine, there’s nothing to worry about. You’re doing great! You're out of position, move to the left! Stop the crossbow bolt! Stained glass windows! Roll to the side and lunge! There are still 21 children! They’re all still alive! It’s all fine!
Apart from the children they killed!
Those children were killed before you were born! I'm so sorry!
They were killed before I was born?
Yes, they died because I made a mistake! That's why I need you! I need complete focus! I need a Demon! You are pure focus! You are a Demon! You're better than I am! I am weak! Think of the smell of pine needles! A cold stream! A full moon! Flowers! Stained glass windows! Stop her, she's going to get through! Stop her! Good, that was too close! A cool breeze! We're out of... I'm out of throwing knives? A cold stream! A sip of cold water! A sip of cold lemonade! No, the children need the water! How can I be out of throwing knives? I had a dozen? Take his water bottle and throw it to the children behind you. Oh, and take your throwing knife from his chest while you're at it! How can I not have any throwing stars left? But now I have one throwing knife! Don't just stare at the knife you idiot; throw it? Focus! No, it doesn't matter if it's the only throwing knife you have; there are twelve of them around the hall? Somewhere? But don't look down!
It's all fine! There are still 21 children left alive! The only thing you need to remember is...
Don’t look down!
How can I find my throwing stars and knives without looking down?
I looked down…
And there was so much blood!
Why? I mean, what the hell is wrong with the world?
I can't see! There's blood in my eyes! I hate blood! No, there's no blood in your eyes; it's tears! You're crying! I'm crying! Brush away my tears! I will because they're not my tears! Because I don't cry! Blink away my tears! I'm just confusing you! I'm not helping! This is why the children summoned you! This is what you do! There are 21 children, and they need your help!
Wait! Please don't leave me? Please don't leave me alone? I need your help! What is the one thing I have to remember?
Protect the children!
Seriously? What exactly do you think I'm trying to do here? Of course I’m protecting the children! And they call me insane? Well you're nothing but a snivelling little cry baby! And I don't need your help! They're insane! They’re the ones trying to kill children! So run off to hide in that little corner. Go hide beneath the covers. Because I don't need you!
And we weren't screaming at them in fury…
I was screaming at them in fury...
No! Please don't leave me alone! I need your help! Please come back?
No! I don't need your help because I work alone! I don't know loneliness! I don't know fear! I don't break stained glass windows! I just need a drink of water! A cold stream? Or a cold lemonade? I've never tasted lemonade! A cool breeze on my skin? I've never felt a cool breeze on my skin! I love the smell of pine needles? A full moon? I've just been born, so I've never seen a full moon. Will someone please just make it stop?
It's fine. I don't need anyone! I work alone! I am a Demon! I am Death! Blink away your tears! I don't cry! I kill, and I kill, and I kill! I love killing! Because that's what I do! I kill! That's why I was summoned! To kill! Again, and again, and again! And I love killing!
And I hate killing! And I hate blood! And I hate tears!
What the hell is wrong with the world?
They're only children?
And I was screaming at them in fury...
As I was born in blood and tears, I will die in blood and tears!
Because:
I Am The Reaper!

I may be considered an evil man, and I won't argue with that. But there are lines that even I won't cross.
However, the corporates? The cyber-techs? You didn't just cross those lines? You skipped across those lines with a grin on your face. What you did to those children? That was the purest of evil on another level.
After dancing to your tune for so many years, I refused to cross those lines. I had hoped to have children one day, but instead I have signed my own death warrant. Strangely enough, my action wasn't illegal. The corporates quartered her prison sentence so that I would release her on Wednesday. You planned to kill her as the prison gates opened. The way I see it is that she's already served her time, for crimes she didn't commit. Why would I wait until Wednesday? When you discover I released her early, you will kill me. But it will be worth it. For the children. The children I will never have. But she will save so many children. I have released my 'Angel Of Death' upon the world?
No! Upon the gangs! Upon the corporates!
I find it amusing that what you consider your greatest failure was actually your greatest success. You couldn't control her because she's insane. You made her insane! Insane or not, she had something you will never have!
A moral backbone! She cares about the children.
She is beautiful!
You put the highest bounty ever known on her head for good reason. Because you are terrified of her!
She is the most hated woman on the planet. And yet, when I say woman, she's no more than a little girl! A little girl because you stole her childhood! A little girl who you have no leverage over. She has no family or friends to threaten. She can't be bribed. She can't be blackmailed. She can't be reasoned with. She won't expose you. She won't take you to court. She will kill you! She will cut a bloody path straight to the heart of pure evil.
Even her very name will be enough to strike fear into your hearts.
My Angel Of Death?
Her name is:
Warden Linfroy - (From The Sarcophagi II - K)

Anomaly Play Through 08/11/2025 Unity
Latest project moves to Unity (which in no way means we're done with Minecraft). For Lightning King's birthday, he requested Unity training. He has just completed the second tutorial, with some extras added in, including music created by ourselves.

Videos on YouTube of the current Arena. Almost every item needs to be rewritten for 1.21.8 due to coding changes by Mojang. We only ever work with the latest version. We have converted some.

Arena Testing For 1.20.1 and some screenshots from the last few months. Mostly related to The Arena and The Time Machine.
We are busy working on Book 1 of "The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow". 600,000 words across all books, spin-offs, short stories and notes. Book 1 is way over word and page count. Combined with Minecraft 1.21 this has delayed 'The Arena', 'The Time Machine', 'Random Blocks', 'Lucky Fishing Rod' (now released), 'Light Helm', 'Music Studio', 'Scheduler', 'The Conduit', 'Orbits', 'Mount & Fly Anything' (including Ember), and various other projects we promised.
The Time Machine Data Pack was close to Alpha Release, but due to rewrite of TDIACLS and 1.20.1 changes is ON HOLD.
However various packs have been released/fixed/updated on Modrinth.

Everyone knows Raz'Kul only built the house and gardens to further annoy the Monks Of Serenity. Or the "Not So Serene Monks" as Raz'Kul jokes. With monks, bounty hunters and assassins surrounding Shadow Falls, only The Ghost Warden's protection is keeping him alive.
