It was a time of horrible raids by terrible marrauding hordes, which caused untold misery, fear and poverty in all of Pelopones. It was a time when Xena and Gabrielle were needed by all the towns, before it is too late, but she was nowhere to be found. The century before had been a good time for all, under the Cooperation Accord of Olympia, there was piece...
She looked at her finger. Just a plain white gold band. So small...and yet. Yet it dominated her life. Theirs had been a long courtship. It sounded so much better to say "long courtship" than to say that they had lived together for six years before finally getting married. She had wondered over and over again, during that six years, when he would finally g...
It was a cold November night in Squall’s End. Samantha could see her breath as soon as she stepped outside. With a sigh she tucked herself further into her coat, trying to avoid the light snowfall as she fumbled with her keys. She had been given them as soon as she was promoted to Denny's general manager, (a position that paid adequately but had absolutely s...
Loneliness burned like fire cold as ice keen as steel. The Firelink Shrine was nigh empty, its silence broken by the distant peal of blacksmith's hammer, the rasping breath of an undead merchant, yet its solitude weighed heavily upon the Fire's Keeper. Now like so many times before she felt sorrow clawing at her heart, raking its talons of frost across her r...
"Mike! He's running into the alley on first and second street!" "Hear you loud and clear Sam!" Mike saw me and leapt at my knees to bring me down; barely missed. "He's headed your way Sam!" She didn't react fast enough and I plowed into her. These two must have been about only 30 years old and not your typical fat ass cops. She was about 5 foot 10 and he m...

Prologue Persephone looked at her friends with the ouija board. She'd declined to join them, not because of some fear of the occult, but because it was nauseatingly cliché. Sarah began to chant a sumerian raising mantra whilst Zoe, Lorna and Felicity held on to the glass that would supposedly spell out the wishes, or otherwise, of the contacted demon. They...
When good men do nothing, is that evil enough? Fore warned is fore armed; In the history of recorded time regarding humans, We learn that only the few have ever rushed into danger to address true evil. And as the brave few will always shy away form the public lime light and notoriety, it is important to always remember they are always there in times of...
Hello all! So, like many people here, this is my first attempt at writing (though I have been an avid literotica reader for nearly a decade). This is going into a much larger story, and things that might seem random now are going to (or at least I'm hoping they will) grow more important to the themes of this and make sense. I'd love to know if I'm on the r...
I'm late for chemistry, stepping into the lab just a few seconds after the bell. I could get away with it on a normal day, but Dr. Hausen is at the front of the class with an unfamiliar student. A new girl. St. John's doesn't get a lot of new students in the middle of the year, senior year especially. I duck my head under the professor's stern glare, heading...
