Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 20
20 "It's not your fault, you know," Kadai said, sifting through the ash. It was an odd sight, the Chieftain and his son on clean-up duty, work that would normally have fallen to Wolves of low standing. But no one had stepped up to do it, and Kadai...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 19
19 The morning air was cool and felt good on Kadai's bruised face. He considered staying in his tent all day long, but such action was not befitting a Chieftain. He always walked through the village this time of day, and everyone knew it. Straying...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 18
18 Walking down that hallway was the longest journey Luke ever had to make in his short lifetime. He had fetched a candle from the kitchen, but it barely did anything to keep the shadows at bay. If anything, the feeble glow only seemed to imbue them...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 17
17 - moonlight. What was that? A knife? Tim didn't know. It was still dark, so that meant he must be asleep, which meant that this must be a dream. There was no other explanation for why a big black shadow would be standing over him, watching him...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 16
16 "Danado! Dan, where are you!?" Lana half-screamed. She couldn't find her stupid little brother anywhere, but neither did she want to wake the whole village looking for him. Or give away her position to whoever might be lurking around in the...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 15
15 He opened his eyes, but it was still dark. Of course it was. This damn smelly doeskin was still over his head; his aching, throbbing head... And there was something else, too... a tightness around his muzzle, like rope. Panic flared up inside...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 14
14 She was afraid, so very, very afraid. Not just for herself, but for the others, too. There was a time she wouldn't have given a damn, but evidently that time was over. Mellah clutched the bear pelt to her breast and shivered, unable to shake the...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 13
13 The whole world was quickly sliding down into hell, and Danado didn't have the faintest idea of how to deal with it. Normally he wouldn't even be in a position where he felt he actually _needed_ to deal with anything. He usually just kept to...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 12
12 'Banno' he said his name was. Only two syllables, but it still made Luke feel uneasy. He had roared that name by the river, and at the time, Luke had thought it would be the last word he would ever hear. He folded his arms across the table and...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 11
11 ... them all... kill them all... ki..." Shekka's eyes fluttered and her vision flickered rapidly between two shades of black. She squeezed her eyes shut, opened them again, but it stayed black. She didn't even have that one blurry spot of colour in...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 10
10 ... the Cora. She could see Him so clearly... every miraculous detail. For here, in this world, she was no longer blind. In fact, she could see more clearly than any Wolf has ever seen before. This was a world of colour, energy, and light. So...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 9
9 - crunching outside her tent, one pair heavy, one pair light, both of them loud enough to wake the dead. Even after they had passed by and the sound should have disappeared, she could still hear them inside her head. Maddening... infuriating... How...
