Chapter Four: Port Corrin The stewards of Port Corrin are an anomaly in the larger scope of the Salveran Main. A matriarchal household as opposed to the norm, the Corrins are a dynasty shrouded in much rumor and hearsay, though much of it is no doubt seeded by dissenters who seek to undermine their authority. Liblac Corrin, current matriarch of the house...
Chapter Five: The Pentacle "Our people have long memories. Conflict rages on the world above, with empires turning like the tide. But underneath, the Altaeans are eternal.

Chapter Two: The Dread Pirate Rydell I saw her, of course. How could I not? All the hearsay around the Main is true; Scarlet Rydell leads from the front. She wants it to be known that it’s her what’s sunk your ship. She showed mercy only to me, so that I may be humiliated and forced to tell the tale to you, Confessor.

And I was always shy and socially awkward. As a result, my parents d...
The pod door to the cryo-pod hissed and slowly opened. I sat up and shook my head, coughing while I did. I stepped out onto the cold, metal floor of the cryo-room of the IMC Shadow. John James, Eddie Sharpe, Reese Kyle, Tyson Smith and Scarlet Dale all slowly rose from their cryo-pods, coughing as well. "I fucking hate cryo." Sharpe said with a cough. Sharp...
Goblin's Note: This chapter is a direct continuation from the previous chapter in this series—I recommend re-familiarizing yourself with Chapter Ten before you proceed! Or don't. It's a free internet; I'm not your boss. :) ~~~~ ~~~~ Lady Vinifera—or Miss Scarlet, as she preferred to be called—was a most gracious host. She had Kitten, who seemed suddenly qu...
"Trojan condoms for Troy, check! Blow up doll for Bettie, check! Dildo for Debbie, check! Cock ring for Charles, check! It looks like one hell of a Christmas in the Johnson residents." James laughed as he read over the list. He had been at this for a long time and nothing really surprised him anymore. He stood and peered out the window, snow covering the gro...
Issue Three: Double the Fun Peter had been right about the tape. They had created a web site providing some seductive teaser shots of Mary Jane and an order form for the tape, priced at twenty bucks a piece. The sales immediately went through the roof.
