Back again with chapter two! Thanks for all of the great feedback, it's greatly appreciated! Enjoy! ***** Eager as Kal had been for some more intimate time with Ikuno, the knight's talk of food had gotten to him. As they walked back into the main living area of the cavern his stomach growled noisily. He stopped in embarrassment, his hands covering the of...
King Jamie looked terrible. He'd lost weight, his hair was long and ragged, and the bags under his eyes were bruised and purple. If anyone asked, he merely smiled and blamed it on the sleepless nights with the new infant princess Aurella. No one believed it, however, as he spent more time training in the yard with his knights than in a bed. Rosella was not o...
For as long as the history books dated, the monsters of this world have been trying to kidnap and enslave women in order to use them for birthing the next generation of monsters, believing that having human genes will make stronger monsters.

Sorry for the long delay. --------------------------------- Chapter 20 Jerusalem 1127 The corridor continued into the darkness, with a slight downward slope that seemed to compel the three armored knights forward.

Oftentimes in previous years, raiders from either side would cross into the other's territory, stealing cattle, sheep, horses, crops or anything else that could be moved away quickly. Even the border itself mo...
8 THE BIG NOWHERE Greg was dreaming. In his dream he wore robes of a deep, deep purple. At his side was a ceremonial bronze sword sheathed in a black jewelled scabbard. On his forehead was a circlet of dark iron. His hair was light and ragged, and his eyes were the colour of jade. He really did not resemble himself at all. He was wandering through the ha...
The Gods did not create the world. It was the world that gave birth to magically powerful creatures to watch over it. Every part of it that wished for protection gave birth to a different spirit, and for their immense power, they would later come to be known to everyone as Gods. They lived along that which they protected, being yet another part of the planet...
Rosella awoke naked in her bed. The memories came flooding back of her rescuer, waking her, claiming her. Her new king. Sitting up, Rosella winced at the tenderness between her thighs. She was a little embarrassed. This man may have woken her from her slumber, he may even be her "true love." However, he was also a complete stranger, and she had given herself...
