Chapter 1 Awakening The girl started to wake up. She was young, at least in the eyes of some cultures. In the eyes of others, she was well into adulthood. On her home world, she was considered to have just barely reached the age where she could make life altering decisions for herself. The people who brought her here always took those who were legal on the...
Chapter 6 First Lessons "Master, it's time to wake up, Master." Justilia gently shook Inclon as he sat face down at his desk, scrolls unrolled beneath his head. Inclon's eyes opened. He was suddenly aware of hunger pains and a dry mouth. He pushed himself up in his chair and rubbed his face. Sometime during the night someone, most likely Justilia, had ca...
Chapter 3 The Lure of Slavery Thabian Y'Grantlo was a small man, not at all what you'd expect of someone who was the Lord of one of the great houses of the Helshenti Empire. The Lord was incredibly observant and had a memory like a steel trap. As Carli's punishment came to an end (yes, he knew the name of the slave being punished), his eyes tracked the fem...
Chapter 2 Pain and Pleasure Garth guided Amber through more corridors. They looked the same to her and she wondered how he knew where to go. At one of the curtain covered doorways, he gave a light jerk on the chain to have her stop. He stuck his head into the room. "Aurora, come with me." "Yes, Master." The owner of the musical voice exited the room. Am...
Chapter 4 Interludes As the months progressed, the flames that ravaged, without destroying, the world of Destran showed no signs of ebbing. In fact, they were, if anything, increasing in intensity. As more and more plants released their stored mana to be absorbed by the mana-destitute minerals in the ground and rocks, the flames ignited the air around them...
It started on a cold, cloudy, winter afternoon. Snow was falling in a thick flurry that day, and the clouds formed a solid dark curtain against the sun. If it hadn't been for those clouds and snow, someone might have noticed a small meteorite streak through the sky and crash into the earth. But it was not noticed. It was small enough that when it had entered...
Eddie and his symbiote are ambushed. Swarms of Life Foundation agents are everywhere, and even with his trusty symbiote, he can only dispatch a dozen of them. Suddenly, a blast from the sonic blasters knock him down on the ground. The enemies quickly take use of this and pull out something resembles a vacuum cleaner, sucking the black symbiote out of the man...
I would like to thank Candidofranco for faithfully editing my story. ***** My name is Marcus. I am alive, but not human. I am a Valcan. I come from a land beyond your stars. Interstellar travel is common among my people, but I have traveled further than any have ever gone before. I was in Cryo sleep on auto pilot. My pod was struck by a meteor shower and...
Chapter 7 Memories and Lies Heversham Ranslan sat on his yeltin and contemplated what he'd been asked to do. There was no way that the Wizard's Guild would part with one of their precious books; certainly not so that it could be delivered to a slave house. The guild still hated that the houses created their own memory potions instead of buying them from th...
Part 2 of my Marvel Nights series ******* SPIDER-MAN Thanks to Spider-Gwen, I'm restocked on webbing. As I zip out of the ESU campus, I notice the setting sun and realize that Gwen and I were fooling around for too long. I tap my Webware hands-free device. Its one of the few remnants of Parker Industries, as most of my big time inventions had to get slag...
