Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 30
30 "Laanaaah!" Danado shouted, his whole world collapsing before his eyes. He struggled against Sorrin's grip, thrashing and flailing. "Don't go, Dan! They'll kill you, too! Don't -" "Shut up! That's my sister! _That's my sister!_" He finally broke...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 28
28 "Get back, you vultures!" Mother screamed, not that it did her much good. Their curiosity was greater than their fear. They crowded around him as he lay in the snow, too weak and hurt to get up. He felt worse than naked. He felt like a prize pelt...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 23
23 A huge circle was drawn in the dirt, right in the village centre, easily two dozen strides from one end to the other. Wolves crowded around the line, and those that couldn't get close enough for a good view clambered up the watchtowers and lined...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 35
35 The world was black. Even the small, blurry spot of vision the Cora had seen fit to leave her was smaller than ever before, showing nothing but empty whiteness. Sometimes it would flicker, and then it would be white again. She supposed it must be...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 34
34 "Done," Shekka-Kai said, slapping a Wolf's ear leaf down on Wardo's arm in a manner that looked almost intentionally painful, but if their fearless new Chieftain felt any pain, he didn't show it. He just sat there with that massive grin of his and...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 33
33 The little axe felt more like a toy in his hand than an actual tool, but it was good to get his muscles working again. Banno lined up the blade, and with a casual flick of the wrist he split the log cleanly down the middle. The two halves flipped...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 40
The oak tree was an absolute assault of contrast, with pitch black claws wearing gloves of pure white, reaching for the sky.
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 39
39 Kiana was somewhere in that strange place between sleeping and waking, where the real world could slip through and merge with her dreams. She could hear his heartbeat, could feel it thudding lightly against her cheek. She could feel the weight of...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 38
38 Nilia's face was as unreadable as ever. She did not so much as flinch when the snow blew against her face or stung her eyes, but she was nowhere near as calm as she appeared. On the inside, where no one could see, she was fighting a constant battle...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 37
37 Dorin finally made it back home. He didn't know exactly how late in the day it was because the sun hadn't shone through the clouds even once today, but it felt like a whole week had gone by since he first stepped outside his tent this morning. He...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 44
44 Valery was dealing with a bit of a predicament. She was all snuggled up in bed, with her knees pulled all the way up to her chin and her tail curled around her legs. The blankets were up over her head, creating a nice, warm little cave. She was...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 43
43 It was cold. Much too cold. This wasn't normal. It wasn't supposed to be this cold. Maybe it was just naturally colder this side of the mountain, but Banno didn't think so. His presence alone should have been enough to keep it at bay. That proved...
