The door to Kiryn's cell burst open to show nothing in the light the door let in. Lucian felt his stomach sink to his feet as he grabbed a candle from the wall and swept it around the cell, almost missing the curled up body lying in the far corner. As soon as Syra saw Kiryn she rushed over to her, gently turning Kiryn over. Lucian felt bile rise in his throa...
Thanks to a_koozie for her editing. I hope the relative frequency of the uploaded chapters make up for the bad endings to each part... >_>; However I appreciate all readers and comments on the story! Thanks for reading and favoriting! ***** (Aiden) He didn't think he'd seen anyone so sick before. Meredith coughed and gagged continuously as he held her s...
Chapter One Hundred Seventy-Five: Waiting on Hope I went back to the room -- apparently the captain's quarters, which he was quick to assure me he would have given us from the start had he known who we were; I would never have allowed that, though I was more than grateful for it now -- and sat back down at Alistair's bedside. He hadn't moved, his colour st...
Sorry it has taken so long for this chapter to post. My muse hasn't been very cooperative lately but I bribed her with some Halloween candy and she finally relented. This chapter's focus is more on Arianna but I believe in the next few chapters, everyone will understand why. Thanks for your patience and all feedback is welcome. Kat sat in the picture win...
Submitted to literotica.com by the author. * "I'm sorry, Zoa," said Officer Fol. "But with three seers saying they think your plan will fail, we have to abort." "They didn't say it will fail, Sir, they only said they think so." Zoa had to bite her tongue not to add derogatory comments about tracksters 'thinking'. She and Fol weren't alone. "Three think y...
Chapter 16: Mariah is reminded of her place Present day As Mariah showed a slave boy -- man, Gabriel corrected himself, he was a man -- how to prepare a mustard wrap for his mistress, Gabriel peered out into the waiting room. Two left. A human (man, Gabriel reminded himself, just a man), standing and swaying in obvious discomfort, and a . . . a slave, si...
Note: There is no actual sex in this chapter. I couldn't figure out how to put any in without it feeling choppy. So you guys will have to deal until the next chapter, which is being proofread and will be submitted by the end of next week. Excuse any spelling or grammar errors; I can't seem to find an editor. +++++++++++++++++ Darla backed into a corner as...
Eighty-six. That was the number of people killed during the most recent of raids that the country of Calmeria had endured. The enemy was crafty and had managed to avoid the country's troops as they hunted for the killers. These enemies were goblins. Standinging only half the height of an average human male, they were cunning and deadly fighters. Although cow...
Hell, she never mentioned anything about being married to a wizard. Pal particularly enjoyed bored, lonely housewives but he was careful in his relationships. He usually did some background checking and he had careful rules. He did not lie, cheat or steal and he would not claim an undying love just to get a woman on her back. But after all, he was a Satyr...
I knew her through the office of course, that and helping her manage and learn to use her computer in the facets of her new job. She was a quiet, slim, slightly mousy woman in her forties. Divorced, slightly bitter, but otherwise not the sort of person you'd look at twice if you passed her in the mall. I was working on her computer's connection to the netwo...
