Chapter 1: The Climb Heraclitus is a simple man, born into the blacksmith trade like his father, and his father before him. His flimsy, damaged sandals and his pale, red robe indicate to all what class he belongs to. As he moves hurriedly up this mountainside path, he remains low and cautious, like a beast stalking its prey. As he glances back, he can see t...
To his surprise, Noah slept well that night, sheer mental and physical exhaustion making him dead to the world as soon as his head hit the pillow in his freshly furnished room. The furniture having just appeared in the space hadn't phased him at all. Nothing could, after actually dying and coming back to life. He sat up, put his head in his hands, and realiz...
Chapter 2 The next day passed much like the day before, but with a few changes. The dark elf had weakened even more as he refused Mistale's offer of food and water. She boiled a piece of meat to make a broth, holding a cup to his lips. He gathered what little strength he had left to knock the cup away, sloshing warm broth all over her hand. "Don't be stup...
I was so surprised to hear Molly say she was going to be living with me. I honestly couldn't answer her. Sue came down from the porch and I asked her exactly what was going on?

Ch. 7 The memory bloomed vivid for Michael as he raced into the fortress. Nicholas standing over Ian's body. Blood dripping slowly down the dagger's point, leaving a muddy crimson stain in the sand.

She sat curled up on the hard wooden floor between his feet. Her long slender legs were tucked underneath her on a plush red cushion as she softly ran her nails under the bottom of his jeans, trailing down his ankle and rhythmically stroking his bare foot. Her long brown hair lay like a flowing silk blanket over his lap as he gently tugged on it, absentminde...
"Two hours to the Tauk System, sir," relayed Screw to Atwat over the comlink. "We will drop out of N-Space in one hour and we should be above the elliptical plane of the planet." "Very good ... I'll be up shortly." Needa sighed. The three week trip from Earth to Tauk had allowed the crew to become more cohesive in working with each other. Even their scienc...
Alexander stirred; sleep falling away from him gently as he became more and more lucid. 'No dreams.' The import of his first thought of the day struck him fully. It had been years since dreams, more like nightmares, had not roused him at least once during the night. In his contentment, he pulled the warm body in his arms closer, the gentle murmur of its ow...
Ch. 05 - The Gathering (Part 2) Donna raised her hips and looked down at Gina's face. The strong, confident athlete sucked in a deep breath and exhaled in a long moan. Gina's lithe, muscular body writhed in ecstasy. With her arms trapped by Donna's legs, she was only able to lightly caress Donna's thighs with her fingertips. She moaned again, louder. Donna...
