After he had gone, the King sank heavily into the seat of his Throne. He seemed utterly dejected and weary. "My Lord," asked Laurel softly. "Are you unwell?" He saw the worry in her eyes and smiled warmly. "No, my love." said He. "All is well. I am weary, true enough, but I shall recover soon. My body is unused to wielding magick, and learning the true ext...
"Another." Terell waved his cup at the barkeep. The light of the lanterns danced in the amber stream of liquid as it flowed from the decanter into his cup. "There you go," the barkeep said. He waited while Terell fumbled for a copper coin to place on the bar. As the barkeep walked away, Terell stared at the two drinks in front of him until they merged into...
Chapter 2: The Winding Woods After having a morning meal with the constable, and going over some final details, the three headed northwest out of Belshire --in the direction of the Winding Woods.

It was all Alex's fault, really. She'd had the bright idea to link Supergirl's earpiece from the DEO servers to the telephone system, so with some classic phone phreaking (which Kara could do with her lips) she could call people up on it.

By all means, I hope you enjoy this introduction to Ariana’s world, just don’t say I didn’t warn you! ***** Ariana screamed. Rafe jumped several steps b...
The ship lurched and groaned as it floats toward the port city. Lights flickering showing it’s signal, but unable to see due to the thick fog conditions. A thunderous boom echos from within the airship to make itself known. Silence returns until a blind white light shines through the fog showing its port for only a moment for the airship to turn a few degree...
