It was only after I'd walked up to the dais of the Counsel that I realized that coming here carrying the bloodied child of one of the council members and in full yukoi form, might not have been one of my brighter ideas. From the threats being howled from the Fire Clan's section of the arena, I'd say they thought I was less then bright too. Least I'd washed t...

Faster this time, he dropped his broadsword and cried mercy. My goddess clapped. "Keelin, this is excellent!" I was dripping with sweat. For two years I'd w...
I rolled as the entire class fired at me, I saw them all smiling they all were loving this. "Alright, as you can see sometimes the best thing to do is not be there." I started to pair the students up with comparable power level partners. Shit! There was no one to pair the elder's son with but me and I knew if I didn't pull my punches I'd fry his ass for sure...
After the separation from a passionless romance, the world presented itself in kaleidoscope eyes. Desserts tasted more delicious, the aesthetic value of common things became obvious, and smells were robust and more evoking than before. In being alone again, I could only feel sensations. I rekindled with my spirituality, my senses, and the desire to experienc...

Hidden in mist beyond human reach, is Tir Nan Og (Land of The Young), Where the Faeries live and play. The sacred Hawthorn Tree flourishes amongst endless wild flowers and flowering trees. Humans never see its b...
Arch watched the group of Knoctum go into the motel. They had made plans to sacrifice one of the Ratel High Counsels firstborn daughter. If they did that it would give their "indescribably evil" god a new lease on life, worse still, it would do it in the humans world. Meaning no one would strong enough to stop the deity from just wiping everything out and th...
Kate We got up early. I headed to Mom's, and Ally went to her folks'. Amanda went on home; we would see her later at the wedding. Mom was in the kitchen, eating, and told me to sit down, as she had something to tell me. Hmm...I sat and had something to eat while she told me something that floored me! She told me that I was going to be made a Priestess and...
Quinn watched the dancers from her usual seat in the gallery and counted along with the music. One. Two. Three. She supposed she could be down there dancing tonight - thanks to Jerome's patient help, she now knew how - but she still would rather be an observer to all the dancing this evening. When Jerome finished dancing with Angelina, she thought and then b...
There are things in the world of Alther that need to be done, Aura's mother told her when she was very little. Bread to be baked. Clothing to be sewn. Armor and weapons to be made, and then enchanted. Everyone in the world has their place. Aura's mother was a seamstress and her father a bread maker. Her parents planned for her to be a seamstress as well. Exc...
Well I was a young and callow youth when I first went out to sea. It was on a whaling ship that I found my berth, heading north after the big blue whales. I was doing purely menial stuff, being my first voyage, but I was enjoying it, especially listening to the tales of the old sea hands, of monsters, strange islands and adventures. I never thought somethin...
