The next morning we got up and got ready to go to the Chapter house. When we arrived we put on our ID badges and made our way up to the top floor. We walked up to the door and as I reached to knock I felt a stirring of the power inside and the door opened. I gestured Arianna to precede me and stepped inside after her, another quick pulse of the power pushing...
Aramil Liadon, elven ranger, woodwalked through the forest with delight. He had both the sap and the bowstring that he needed and knew that there was only one challenge left for him to complete the Testing. He was so close he could almost taste it. As he pressed on he regretted not bringing his horse. He knew it did not change things too much but he would h...
This is my first submission. Your comments and feedback are appreciated. Hoping to continue forward with these characters. * Sometimes, events can change the needs of us common humans. A few weeks ago, life seemed so care free. Then surprisingly, a pandemic threatened to change all we have known. We have to think before we embrace, keeping a healthy distan...
Author's Note: First of all, I looked back over my Humanoids of the Deep tribute and noticed that there were a lot of words missing, as apparently some things got lost in translation, and I sincerely apologize for that. This is my first attempt at a Warcraft porn story, with a bit of a plot thrown in there just to confuse people. -------------------- It...
With a groan I woke up and looked around. I didn’t see anyone in the room and guessed that Arianna had slipped back to New Orleans to take care of some business while I was unconscious. I lay back in the bed to wait on her to return and looked around the room. Surprisingly there was no sign of the usual medical equipment, no heart monitor or oxygen or anythi...
"You're ready to go, Kyle," the Chief Researcher informed me, handing me a large envelope. "You've passed all the tests, and the nanotech is working perfectly in our controlled environments here. Now you're free to go do the field testing." I knew what "field testing" meant. During the three weeks I had spent at the Nanotech Research Consortium's planetary...
Aramil Liadon, elven ranger, hurried to his Tree Mother's abode quickly. She had summoned him and he did not want to lose any time if he was needed. A summon from the Tree Mother was very important indeed. Dashing across the small village that marked out his home of forty years Aramil saw her treehouse. He was well used to his surroundings and yearned for m...
Jordan found the ad in a local newspaper. "Needed: Healthy male, age 18-30, for testing of a classified robotic prototype, $400 dollar stipend for selected volunteers" with some half-assed stock photo design and a number to call for information. Jordan's friends laughed when he told them about it, and warned him that it sounded like human trafficking or at t...
It was an environmental disaster. But by the time folks realized what was going on, no one seemed to care. The project started innocently enough. A quarterly planning meeting at Enozyme Pharmaceuticals. Product managers had been asked to bring a one page proposal for their best new drug idea. The board of directors said that there was enough money in the bu...
When I was in my early thirties, I developed an unusual condition that simultaneously upset several of my bodily systems. None of the doctors I saw at the time had ever seen a similar combination of events and the only solution seemed to be monitoring everything in the hospital until things calmed down and I could resume a normal life. Fortunately, it didn't...
