7 OUT OF THE FIRE Greg immediately felt a bit overstimulated. For a moment all his brain could remember was the instant of his death, back when he'd been impaled on a spear. Now some kind of shaman was screaming at him through a cloud of greenish smoke. Gathered around the shaman was a group of tribals, their skin pallid and grey. "What more, my lord?" g...
Earth Underneath Jarvis Island, South Pacific August 14, 2019 04:48 HST (10:48 EDT) We turned left upon leaving the egg chamber, continuing down the tunnel we were in. We came across a few dragons on our way, but there weren't too many. Soon, we arrived at another set of doors. When they opened, I was afforded a view of a very large cavern, with a lot of...
The sleek jet-furred Panther-demon and his Lynx-demon business partner were closing up their business premises for the evening, having secured their fish catch in cold storage prior to the market the next morning. I could see the Lynx-demon's eyes glowing as the pair approached the street lamp I was standing under. I fiddled with the little cats head charm t...
"He's here!" Ruby Goddard stood wincing at the pain of her swollen ankles. Seeing the massive starship X'Orr looming directly over Eden scared her knowing the truth within. She knew the ship and its inhabitants could not enter without Gaea's blessing but the sight of it blocking out the sky still worried her. Even God, the old man beside her felt the differ...
The door slid open and Rachel was greeted by an impressive lobby. Evan gently nudge her and Rachel obediently stepped forward. She paused again as the doors closed behind her, punctuated with a loud click. Unsure of where to go, she scanned her surroundings. The lobby was luxuriously decorated. The walls were trimmed with dark wood, and several bookshelves o...
Earth Spectre Base, Canadian Rockies August 14, 2019 06:50 PDT (09:50 EDT) "The ship itself is complete, so you can board it," Abi said as the ramp at the back began to lower. "There are just a few more things to take care of, but they'll only take a few minutes." "What sort of things?" I asked following after Ben who was already making his way up the r...
Auron could have slept longer, but the Pyreflies woke him, wagging his brain until it was thrumming in torment. Propping up on his elbow, he ground the heel of his hand into his good eye socket to pacify the Pyreflies and buff the sleep out of his face. It helped marginally, enough so she could at least squint around the inn room. "Raine?" Vocal cords grit...
The wind blew softly through the trees and Leslie knew she should just turn right around and go home but driving north to the site was an endless temptation. It had been three weeks since the last email about the ancient burial mound and then absolutely nothing. Well Leslie might be a research assistant but she wasn't stupid or lazy. Something wasn't right a...
"Give me some room," Mandala said as she crouched over the broken corpse of Anna, the dead Worgen druid. The Saberon stood at her side obediently, watching her, comforting her as she examined. "Can't cast a simple resurrection spell?" Balthus asked with a cloth pressed to his bloody nose. Balthus was the Draenei priest who didn't quite see eye to eye with...
All characters are 18 years old or older. Geography has never been my strong suit. I didn't earn the nickname of 'wrong way' decades ago for nothing. Part four had an itty-bitty error, somehow Massachusetts found its way north of New York, how annoying. For some reason I always pictured it like halfway between New York and Florida. Nope! That said... read, v...
