Chapter 10 - End of the Beginning There was nothing but darkness. Darkness and silence. Then her feet hurt. Then there was Bernies' voice, "No! It didn't work!" "Are you sure? I thought I saw him breathing." came Bens' voice. "Really?!" Streek slowly opened her eyes and Bernie came into focus in front of her. A big smile came across her face and she came...
Author's Note: I don't profess to be an expert on a creature that may or may not even exist. Some of the things you'll read in this story have been read, watched, and listened to online by me (the Ohio howls for example). On the other hand, some of the things in this story are from my imagination. So please don't be upset if certain "facts" are inaccurate. A...
Barren ground, smoke in the air, and heat that emanated upwards from the ground as well as the blackened skies above. Steve was pretty sure Talia had effectively sent him straight to hell considering the view from the carriage window. This was the homeland of the Lizard-kin. It was a volcanic wasteland where anything that could have left had already done so...
I had known Stacy and her parents Mike and Doreen ever since moving in next door to them some five years ago shortly after my divorce. Stacy was fourteen then and early on used to come over, doing a little lighthouse cleaning for me in order to earn some extra money. Because of that, we'd actually become friends even though I was twenty years her senior. In...

There was the picturesque forest encircling it with a large river rushing through. The river ended in a grand waterfall that cascaded into the sea and was one of the more famous landmarks here. There were the wealthy merchants...

"Which do you think we should use as a tree topper, Merri?" "Beats me. And who cares anyway? What's this need for a tree? It's Christmas Eve already. You'll just want to take it down tomorrow anyway. And it's a lame tree; you sure you got all of the branches it's supposed to have out of that box?" Paul had been buzzing around the silver aluminum artificial...
On request by MakoHub/RealityWarper. I have a funny idea for the Hellhound epilogue. Remember the male tall strong knight that ended up making out with the female knight? He is actually hidden coward, who use his size and strength to appear strong. But when pushed against strong foes, he is a coward. A variation of what TvTropes call "Boisterous Coward" So...
Paul never would have thought he would end up in this situation. Having sexual thoughts about his sister-in-law. He had met her right after his brother Seth ran off to Vegas and married her.
