I walked down the long dirt road towards the city of Athens, Greece. It was beautiful and I couldn't help but notice the looks that the other slaves and I recieved from the crowd that gathered around us. A strong gust of wind picked up some dirt and flung it in my eyes and mouth causing me to clench my eyes shut and cough. I opened them up and looked in a...
**This is one of those chapters that seem to plague me every now and then. It's nice having a ton of characters doing things, since you can just Brady Bunch it as you go, but the other side of that is that there's a danger of bogging the storyline. Ah well, we'll see how I cobble this together. 0_o -------------------- The mid-morning sun shone down on in...
Kylara stood dancing in her corner of the ring, her long, emerald green hair spiraling around her shoulders, and the red pupils in the center of her golden eyes tainted with fury. She let out a screech and clawed at the air in front of her as sweat dripped from her forehead and ran over her orange, scaly skin. She was always one of the favorites in any tour...
I've been playing the demo for ARMS this weekend, and it's really fun! I don't usually enjoy one-on-one fighting games, but it's surprisingly addictive, and the motion controls feel great.

Five minutes ago. "I can beat anybody in Street Fighter, I'm just that damn good." Kevin boasted spinning the case in his hand. "Right, you think you can beat me because I'm a girl right? That I couldn't possibly know what to do with a control stick in my hand?" Kacey snarled angrily. "I think you'd know exactly what to do with a joy stick actually." Kevi...
"Fishback, you're next." Wearily, I stood up and trudged to the door of the chamber. There was no need to rush. My masters never bothered to train me for punctuality, the fans liked a good dramatic pause, and, after all, I was in no hurry to reach my destination. As I trudged to the airtight door, I glanced ruefully up at a poster on the slick, clean white...
This takes place after Wanda Bachelor Party Surprise. *** Wanda and her cousins regrouped in the kitchen of Julie's bail bondsman boss where the bachelor party was being held. Tanya and Diana were quickly getting dressed after things had unexpectedly gotten out of hand very quickly. Tanya hadn't expected Julie's boss to start throwing big money at her to...
The freighter should not have been there. It hung on the outer edge of the asteroid belt. There was no sign of life or power. The only reason the two fighter craft patrol found the drifting hulk was the constant training they needed had left them with few areas of unpatrolled space for maneuvers. "You get anything off that hulk Wiz?" Lt. Cmdr. Janice "Spar...
