It was funny how it all began, he thought. He had been a healer, and a very special healer for over 20 years now and rarely paused to look back, but he had received a telegram earlier that morning telling him that Esmerelda had died. Esmerelda was the gypsy woman he met so long ago, that told him of his gift and his fate. He had gone to the local carnival o...
The door bell rang. When Mala opened the door and found a tall man around forty five years old standing outside. "Are you Mrs. Mala Chaturvedi?" He asked. "Yes." "I am Madhav Chaudhary a Reiki Healer. You called for a Reiki Healing session." "Yes, but I was expecting some lady." "Well, there was no woman healer available. So they sent me. I would go if...
Chapter 2: Animal's wish is granted Animal tried to look relaxed as he slouched on an uncushioned wood bench in the throne room. Looking around, he saw that the other supplicants were as uncomfortable as he. They all undoubtedly wished, as he did, that the Bearer was in a better mood that night. The Bearer was now tongue-lashing a squabbling couple who came...
A big thankyou to my editor on this story. They asked not to be named but they know who they are. Thankyou again for your help on it! * The men started to pace and shake their heads, looking at each other before looking over at the woman who was crouched down, picking herbs. "We're going to be late, My Lady, if we don't start moving again," one of them sa...
Chronicles of the Black Swords 'The Love of the Shadows, the Life of a Thief" "This tale is taken from the well known play of the same title. I first saw it many a long years before the King set me to the task of putting the history of the Hellblades down before they are lost to time. I saw the play again just days ago and remembered the story of the th...
There are many stories, and many possibilities, but stories are never told when there is no chance of a happy ending. This is a story of a real girl, and a real boy whose love could not be realized, without the help of a tragic event that would scar them both. In a world where fantasy becomes reality our "hero's" face obstacles in their world and the real wo...
* * * Chapter 3 The shadows grew long overhead as Clara made her way deeper into the woods. She wondered if Lukas was watching her, following her again. "I can hear you," she lied boldly to the empty air, hoping to spur him from his cover if he was indeed following her. She paused for a moment, waiting. When she heard nothing other than the sounds of the...
I have to give credit for the characters of Larus and Arathea to an author whose work I can no longer find. They were inspired by Fadargen's "The Volunteer Slave" and while she took those characters in a very different direction, I had to include them in my fic. Chapter One Hundred Seventy-Six: Low Intensity, High Reps My hearing returned first. Everythi...
This as much an alternate history story as anything else. Details and dates are accurate, with some minor creative liberties. Sex in this chapter happens near the end. Plots are as important to me as the dirty stuff! And everyone's over 18. *** I am Demmus Alfer, and this is my story. I am an exile, duly convicted and sentenced. My crime? I fell in love....
Sorry about the delay. Hope to have the next chapter posted in next couple of days. All feedback is welcome. When Kat woke up the next morning, she saw that Charlie was already up and tending the fire that he had started the night before. The tantalizing smell of fresh brewed coffee was carried to her on the wind. Sitting up, she slowly rubbed the sleep ou...
