Chapter Twenty Three Intrepid - 3754 C.E. "Isaac, isn't it?" the Special Operations Officer asked the naked man sitting on a chair opposite him and who was gently restrained by a low intensity force field. "And where do you come from exactly?" The Holy Crusader might have been defeated but he retained his pride and dignity, despite the humiliation of his c...
Chapter Two Godwin - 3749 C.E. "Frankly," said the consultant as he hovered cross-legged in the air beside Paul, "you're not doing especially well for a man of your age." "What do you mean?" Paul asked nervously. The doctor consulted the holo-manual at eye level by his side. "You're nearly eighty years old, aren't you? That's an age that might once have...
Chapter 1: Alex Jones woke to the sound of someone knocking on his door. Lifting his head he looked over at the clock on his bedside table and groaned. The time was 5:00 AM, a full two hours before he was do at work. With a sigh he glanced at the door debating whether or not to ignore whoever woke him up.

It took a while of shuffling my feet to finally get past having abandoned the Orcs like that. Straight from the book, their nature is to either savor owning slaves or utterly fawn over a master, so to get abandoned is probably a first and a total shock to them.

A Wider Sky: Beyond Eclipse Series by Talyis Bagley Ellison Copyright first edition 2013, 2015 Chapter 5 Having met my first alien was anti-climatic. She didn't vaporize me. I saw no super magic or special powers and she did in-fact look human. She was a bit snarky and had a sense of entitlement but I could say the same of Ben and Maddie. It seemed lik...
Several hours passed when I recognized something was wrong. I jumped awake, took in my surroundings and suddenly recalled that Riley and I had somehow managed to spend the night in each other's arms. I lifted my head and turned to check on her. "You're awake." I said, surprised. "How could I possibly sleep while holding an angel in my arms? Believe me... I'...
Grave awoke from his deep hibernation, his senses coming back to him one after another. His large body was slowly becoming aware. His hands wide and taloned for parting rock, folded against his chambered chest. Two massive wings made of skin and scale unfolded from his back formed a roof, ceiling and floor roughly the size of a coffin surrounding him. In hi...
