It had been a long hard day. Calls poured in all morning and the paperwork had piled up twice as fast. Thankfully it was now over. I sighed and put the last of the documents away. I sat back at my desk and leaned back in the chair. Trigg stood on my right. I smiled up at him and he beamed. He bowed slightly and remained standing. I looked at him and got an...
"Which dress should I wear?" Meet my wife Reina. You can call her Rei. That's how she spells it, but it's pronounced like a ray of sunshine, which she is every day. I guess you can tell I love her. I always have. Well, if you consider "always" to be since I met her in the sixth grade. My family moved to town during the summer, so I was the new kid when sixt...
"I swear sometimes I think I'm cursed," Robin complained, sitting at her favorite coffee shop one evening with her best friend Brandi. "You've just had a couple of bad dates," consoled Brandi, her eyes searching around the nearby tables for any guys who might warrant her attention. "A couple of dozen bad dates," corrected Robin. Her dark eyes stared down i...
I'd been working with this technology firm about 6 months after graduating from the university. Traveling from one state to another wasn't my idea of a 'plum' position, but the job certainly paid well. I was currently on a 2 month road trip and since all of the locations were close, the company provided a car. My responsibilities were to provide expert techn...
Thank you to Black Randi and Ahazurak for hosting this event. I was thrilled to read all of the great stories on St. Patrick's day for the first Legends event. I was stunned to be asked to write one for the 4th of July event. Happy 4th of July everybody, may your day be filled with "Sparks." * Fuck! "He's coming! Dad wrote back! He's coming!" Fuck. Fuck,...
Note: To avoid confusion, I changed the name of one historical character from Sir Jean de Vienne to Sir Luc de Vienne. This part has been the most difficult to write. It covers a long period in two significant locales. I had debated on cutting this short, but I felt it was a critical part of the story that you need to understand for the rest to make sense. A...
Author's Note: Welcome back to my next story. This tale came about as a simple idea and I decided to run with it as long as I could. I think the story came out well but I'll let you be the judge of that. It's not as long as my first work, A Most Graceful Life, and will be posted in three parts. Be warned there is no heat in part one, but you can expect it in...
Chapter 6 - Best Laid Plans ***** "Who's the poor bastard losing his head?" I quietly asked the man next to me. "Roggvir," the man replied out of the side of mouth. "What did he do?" "You'll find out in a minute. The captain is walking up the steps now." Plenty of abuse was being hurled at the man dressed in little more than rags, hands bound in front...
Episode Twelve, The Conclusion Loss can do strange things to those with the free will of thought and actions. Loss can drift a solid foundation of ideas and blur the lines of what was once very clearly right and wrong. The object of loss doesn't always matter. The loss of something foreign to one could have the same impact to another that could equate to th...
Chapter 35 -- The Expedition ***** I figured that entrance to the college wouldn't be easy, but the Altmer guarding the bridge to the college had a bit of an attitude. She probably took me for an everyday dumb Nord. Not far wrong, to be honest, but still... Altmer reminded me of the Thalmor. Not all of them were, but it was hard to differentiate at times....
