Another paleskin was batted aside by Xoruk's iron club. The soldier went flying, crashing into a nearby tree. The bark cracked on impact, the human sliding down in a heap. Thicker and thicker into the crowd he waded, smacking humans aside like toys. He heard several of his brothers cry out "Moktakh!" behind him, the glorious afterlife promised to every orc...
The new specimen was waking up. Lord Xaurkoth unsealed the entrance to the specimen chamber and reared up to his full majesty, allowing only two of his tentacles to bear his weight. In this gravity, of course, even the weakest brood-swaddler could have maintained this stance, but the specimen didn't need to know that. It only needed to know that Lord Xaurkot...
Have you ever seen the movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project"? No? You missed a damn good movie. But anyway, there's this scene where Colossus is starting to communicate with the supercomputer in the Soviet Union. They start off exchanging simple mathematical concepts ("1 + 1 = 2. 2 + 2 = 4") and in a few minutes, they're exchanging complicated, nonmathemati...
There are many things in this world that are unknown to man. One of those things is the existence of the Angels. A few believe in Angels, but most people don't. The Angels are well-known in art and literature as the servants of God. Winged beings with a somewhat benign human appearance. Very little is known about them and few of them are named. This is a st...

Once you were young. You still remember the moment you saw her kin for the first time, a species in the forests of the north. Beautiful, skin dark as ebony, eyes ranging from purple to blue to green, an all-female species live next to your village. Dark Elves, Dokkalvar, Dalekethnon and many other names are they called with. They live with their human sl...
The daylight came quickly. It was time to tell the clan. Reidar called Chieftain Soren and his son to his home. It would be best if Soren found out first. When a knock came at the door, Reidar pulled it open. "Soren, Kaire, please come in." Murani sat on the bed as the two Thoran came in. She shivered as the two new sets of eyes found her. They stared. S...
Warning: If you are not a steady Majgen-story reader this appendix most likely holds nothing of interest to you. My apologies for your inconvenience. Foreword: My self-editorial skills are not as developed as I would like them to be yet. Hence this section had to be presented as an appendix rather than as a part of a chapter. This section, 'The Human Natio...
Sia had been placed back in the camp, left as the sloppy mess she'd been made by the Stallion and the men...plus the orc who had taken the time to recover by now. The two men had returned to the others for now, taking a breather themselves from the little fun they had had with the Troll-bitch who was now on the ground, still moaning softly in the heat of the...
Mike walked through the quiet woods. Night was falling and he knew without even looking at his compass that he was completely lost. "Great," he said to himself as he came across the same log for the third time in a row. Sitting down on the log, he ran his fingers through his graying, strawberry blonde hair. At 42, he felt he had lived a good life. He marrie...
