Thought I Was Dead
* * *
Hello, dear readers! Happy Halloween and welcome to the first ever PRL Day of the Dead Special! Here at the PRL, we respect the tradition of honoring the dead just as much as we do the spooky season, so we decided to roll them together and extend the special into November. Volume 4 of the PRL Serials is wrapping up and the crossover event, Heated, gave us all a closer look at the machinations of Owuo, the Vodun of Evil and the Abosom of Death. The Day of the Dead Special this year will feature all things death, and it will be an opportunity to get to know the walking death even better.
So get ready, dim the lights, and enjoy! Then come back soon for Issue 2!

Tonight:

If you’ve ever wondered how magic works in the Fonlands, you’ve come to the right place. Magic is a complicated thing and it can be found in the most innocuous things, like numbers.
Death Magic: “The number eight, in the Fonlands at least, represents the outside, everything beyond the realm of the living and growing.”

Deads’s Town is an institution. But it wasn’t always that way. Owuo made Deads’ Town on the Disc of Legba, but he didn’t ask permission, and the Vodun were suspicious.
Deads’ Town: “Don’t play dumb,” Legba said. “Jo told me about your death magic. You’ve disguised it as black magic, my own, but she has seen through your deception. You are able to draw power from the souls of Fonlanders and beings of the other realm, and you are trapping them in your Deads’ Town to use like a battery to tap when you finally decide to move against the mother-father and all of the Vodun.”

Wes is speaking to the enigmatic woman about witches again. While he hopes that you have watched and enjoyed Agatha All Along as much as we have, Wes learned about another Agatha with a very tragic story.
Dialogues with the Witch: “I was surprised to see her. I didn’t expect her to be in the backyard when I made it home that evening. I wasn’t even at home really; after all the flooding from the hurricane, my partner and I left the mountains and stayed at Roy’s house in Rock Hill, SC. Valeria was ecstatic to get out of the mountains after everything; we had been stranded in our home with no electricity for two days before the roads were clear for travel.”
