The immortals. They have always been around. Living among everyday humanity. Unnoticed. No one knows how they came to be. They simply are. Immortals are born just like ordinary mortals. They are men and women from every background and every walk of life. They come in all shapes and sizes. Immortals are born just like ordinary human beings but they are not....
What would you do if you could live forever? For me, it's a question I fear to ask myself. I'm not sure I would like the answer. My name is Kalibar Barok and I was born in what is today called Tunisia, in Africa. The land in which I was born was once called the Carthaginian Empire. I was born in the summer of 650 B.C. Long before the fall of heroic Carthage...
"Take care of yourself, Carl Robinson, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come by the dojo," said my long-time friend Duncan MacLeod, the legendary Highlander, as he clasped me in a bear hug, and I smiled and embraced him warmly. I haven't met a lot of good people in my nearly two centuries of living upon this earth, but the tall, dark-haired Scots...
Night fell over the city of Los Angeles. It was a city like no other. A place of endless opportunity. People came to Los Angeles and made it. There were success stories about men and women who went from rags to riches. Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey made it in Tinseltown. So did Larry Flynt and Clint Eastwood. Los Angeles was always full of hope and despai...

After a week of threading her way through icy ravines and down rocky defiles, in the freezing cold...
My name is Kal and I was once known as Hercules, the God of Strength among the deities of the ancient Greek Pantheon. Anyone looking at me would see a tall, good-looking man with light bronze skin and pale green eyes in his early twenties. I currently inhabit the body of a former devotee of mine. Jared Floyd, a young man with amazing talents who hails from...
My tutors told me I would need an infinite amount of patience. I was to bide my time considering the endless permutations and means by which suffering can be inflicted. It is easy to hurt, to destroy; pain resulting from physical intervention barely scratched at the surface of suffering. It was unpleasant for the humans; they usually died. Humans rarely expe...

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING EARLIER!!! You all must have been thinking "Well, I guess I'll have to wait another two years for the next update". However, I finally found the time (and motivation) between work and college to pop this chapter out. I have two weeks off of college, so I'll try to get at least one more chapter out before it starts up again. Th...
Verchiel stood atop the mountain, gazing down at the mortal world below. Anyone looking at her would have seen a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair, bronze skin and sparkling golden brown eyes. She wore a white suit and cape. Of course, they would have been wrong. Verchiel was no mere mortal woman. She was the leader of the Powers, a Host of Angels...
