Mike drove through the busy late night streets. The red hot hum of the neon lights steadily invited locals and tourists alike to go in and enjoy the sheer decadence the city had to offer. A guy could find anything his heart desired in Zenith. Any worldly thing he ever wanted could be his at the touch of a button or the opening of a door. Of course that's how...
GORLOK The rising sun was red over the Highland Rift, casting the silhouettes of trebuchets and ballistae in a bloody hue. The morning was still, interrupted only by the annoyed cawing of a distant crow. To my left, the horde's line stretched to the northern horizon. To my right, there was no one. The tundra grasslands gave way to pine trees, and the Highl...
A/N: Here's the last chapter folks. All loose ends are tied up here. Enjoy! Thank you Blackstallion21 for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XIII. New Beginnings The sky was an array of pinks, reds, and purples as the heroes of Serenai arrived at the remains of the Unicorn Kingdom. As the flyers landed, their riders got off of them before the fly...
Hello! Thank you for your patience and for reading Thorne. I just wanted to thank all of my beta readers Jean and Donalde for their time and Teacher 2272 for editing. I also wanted to give a heads up- there is no sex in this chapter. Somehow it didn't seem- appropriate? Anyway... thanks again. Kal "Where would you like to make the food?" Louise asked B...
Part Sixteen: Checkmate Chapter Fifty-Five LEVERIA I awoke to an explosion. Metal screeched, then banged, and I was suddenly hurled from my bed, and smashed into a wall. My head smacked against the stones, my teeth clicked, and whatever sleepiness remained left in my brain was shot out with a concussive thud. My blurred vision made out a pair of orange e...
John watched his buddy Dan maneuver his way through the crowded living room and up towards his dream girl, Amy Mitchell. John was happy that Dan had finally worked up enough courage to at least talk to Amy, whom he had lusted over for nearly three years of high school. John glanced around at the crowd of teenagers attending Samantha Mathers' party and grin...
Jaelyn sat painting her toenails a bright, fiery red. She'd begun drowning out Adrianna's chatter twenty minutes ago and was deep in her own thoughts. "Did you hear what I just said?" asked Adrianna incredulously. She couldn't believe that Jaelyn was being so...un-Jaelyn. She was supposed to be the patient and attentive one; she was always there to listen t...
Most of the club was dark, only the light came from above the stage, illuminating the band playing. No one really knew who the rock band was except for their family and girlfriends sitting at a table up near the stage. Many people stayed near the bar and tried to talk above the music. There was a small crowd outside the doors of smokers cycling through to ha...
Jaelyn was sick. She stood beside Bryan, the tension emanating from him so palpable she could have scooped it up with a spoon. How had this happened? She glanced at him; blood had pooled on his left eyebrow again and she glared at Keith who actually looked a lot worse than Bryan, his nose had already begun to swell and was dripping scarlet blood onto his whi...
BROCK "...I don't know what is custom for Highlanders, or royalty, but in the tribes—in the Terdini anyway—well, the Protaki as well, and those of the Northern Pines... goddamn it." I growled to myself, took a deep breath, and tried again. "My queen, Yavara. I know that I am unworthy... no, confidence, Brock. Yavara—too informal? Confidence. Yavara..." I a...
