"Aphorism 4 - In matters of stealth, let you be as soft as the wind, as silent as the shadows, and as still as the calm before the storm." Any assassin would agree that stealth and deception are parts of who they are, or parts of what they must become or die. There are at least two kinds of assassins, male, and female. While both may be deadly, one is stron...
The Zagrosian quarters were closer. Princess Filini glared her guards out of her bedchamber, and Queen Nulkuta dismissed her own. Their protectors weren't happy, but they left the two women alone, as requested. For a moment, awkwardness reigned between the two, then Nulkuta reached up and unfastened the snaps of her top. With the release of each dark jeweled...
Well, I am glad to see the Assassin Prelude was good enough for you to come back. Chapters 1 & 2 will be coming out very close together. The first chapter is a little different, but I think you will enjoy it. Since we didn't make my appointment last night, I have to get it done tonight. It's my anniversary & I really want her to be able to come home to nice...
"Sure you don't wanna join in?" Meryik - a Zeltron with skin so pake he was pink - asked, shuffling. "Cards are hot tonight..." "Naw," Sharn laughed, throat-crest rippling with the sound. "You so don't want old Quinn there in the game. He's a wizard, he is." Quinn Hale laughed as well. He was a man who seemed to have been designed to blend into a crowd. Ha...
This is my first attempt at a story, so please have patience. I'll get better over time. Feedback is always appreciated. Enjoy! -Sweetintensity Chapter One: Nissa's Murderer Today was an average day as far as they went. I trained for a while in the gym and then was told by one of the apprentices that Tatsuya-sensei wanted to see me before dinner. That w...
Elanna stared down, her gaze unwavering and piercing. The red slowly faded, and the icy blue colour returned. She wondered what was going through the human's mind, perhaps she thought the half-blood was going to kill her, or sacrifice her in some decadent ritual; not that Elanna knew any. But that was hardly a point taken into consideration among those who w...
Twenty-One: Nathaniel The whole thing had gotten completely out of hand. Nathaniel sighed and tried to object for what had to be the fiftieth time since this plan had been suggested. "It's simply too dangerous, Leliana. I won't allow you – or anyone else – to be hurt in my stead. This is my problem—" "And this is how you're going to solve it, yes? You're...
On That Stormy Night Lucky awoke to the sounds of heavy rain pouring down outside. The wind blew and he could hear the faint sound of thunder as a storm approached. He looked down to see Addison's legs were lying across his lap as she was curled up on her side beside him. He smiled as he watched her sleep. She was beautiful even in her sleep. She looked c...
White House, Oval Office Tell me what you know," President McKinsey says. "Marsha was found early this morning dead, a single stab wound through her stomach," Petroff states. "Has the media been alerted yet?" "Nothing official has been released. Senator Rustlin is using the situation to his advantage," Petroff says grimly. "Damage control?" "Working on...
The night was dark and slightly overcast. Unfortunately the whole day was stormy so the sky had no stormy left for the night. High on a hill a young man looked out his window over the grounds of his estate. With a small glass of brandy in hand he turned back to his room and shed his bathrobe as he slipped under the covers of his bed. Flipping on the local ne...
