Borna split his forces. This is something you should never do when facing a superior enemy. But we had little choice, if we were going to feed all the non-combatants who were flocking to join us. Two years of fighting had weighed heavily on the people. Their harvests, flocks and herds were repeatedly stolen, by both sides. Now they had no option but to pla...
This story is my offering for the "Welcome to the New World" event. It's little rushed so cut me some slack. I finally thought of an idea and hope this fits in with the premise. My thanks to the group for inviting me and the encouragement they've given. Thank you for the beta read and the editing of my story: y'all know who you are. If there are any major m...
He'd always had a plan like this kicking around in the back of his mind. But once they'd booked the trip to Las Vegas, he felt that it was time to bring his plan into action.

I have ridden this damn horse for days. She's an ornery bitch. If I don't pay attention during our short breaks she'll try and bite me when I'm melting my way out of the saddle. What's worse is the colder it gets, the meaner she becomes. We're traveling north. My thighs are bruised and angry and I can't even claim it's from a good time. This bothers me more...
I watched the flames rolling in the fire for a long moment, pondering your words before taking a drink from my glass. My statement about not so happy endings having obviously sparked something in you. "I understand your concern my pet, but this is all in the past now. Life is a trial and we learn from it, regardless if our hearts still beat or not." I rose...
I thought long and hard, pun intended, about Ramona offering to ask if Cathy would let me be her first male lover, to give up her virginity to a married man. Little did she know how hard I had been working toward that goal, but Cathy seemed to be bothered that I was married. I remained non-committal outwardly, but I was running Ramona's awakened interest in...
The moment she felt the sting of the dart in the back of her thigh, Leela thought, "Oh shit!" She immediately plucked it out, tossed it aside and kept running in a zigzag pattern, trying to be a tougher target. But those new ultra-safe game darts were very sophisticated, and efficient.

Chapter 27 - Dragonborn ***** Aela originally wanted me to deal with everyone alone, or at worse, ask another Companion to help me.
