Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 113
113 They kept following the trail until they reached a dead tree, fallen across the path. There was a splash of blood on the rotting bark, dried into a dark stain. Ander stepped on top of the dead hunk of wood, but just as he was about to drop down...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 112
112 A single Wolf mired in bloodlust was bad enough, they most certainly did not need two. "Sorrin!" Ander called as loud as he dared, chasing after the lumbering brute. "Wait, damn it!" Paying him no heed, Sorrin blundered through the trees,...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 111
111 Torjo didn't understand anything anymore. He didn't understand why he was still alive. He didn't understand the blanket draped around his shoulders. He didn't understand the fire warming his hands. And most of all, he didn't understand the strange...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 109
109 Jonah rattled off the story in less than a minute. As terrible as it was, there really wasn't all that much to tell. Many good Foxes dead, Foxes who had tried to help, and a crazy Wolf, wandering through the woods this very moment, headed...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 108
108 The tent rippled and bulged, creating lines of shadows that slithered above their heads like snakes. Ander was sitting on one of the beds, feeling... actually, he didn't know what he was feeling. He knew he felt cold, but that was just on the...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 78
78 Something grabbed him around the neck and jerked him back. Dorin screamed and, although he would never admit it to anyone, for a second he thought it was Lana's arm around his throat, risen from the dead to exact her revenge personally. He fell...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 77
77 He looked at her hand for a very, very long time. They had dropped her in a ditch overgrown with bushes, and her hand was sticking out of the brambles, as if asking a kindly passer-by to help her back up. Dorin was afraid of what he would find if...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 75
75 There was a giant pit dug at the base of the Cora statue, at least two Wolves wide; a gaping, crumbling hole. There were wooden stakes planted all around the edge, anchoring dozens of chains that fed into the shadowy depths like spokes on a...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 74
74 It was the longest, most tiring journey of his life. The sun had already started to crest the mountain by the time they finally made it back home. The gate swung open with a groan, scraping the ground clear of snow. It made a shape like a pair of...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 81
81 Nilia's muscles ached and her lungs burned with every inhale. She was cold and tired, but the weight on her back was a constant reminder not to slow down. She could feel his blood running down her spine, the smell of it so thick and cloying she...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 80
80 Dorin knew something was wrong the moment he saw that column of smoke rising up from beyond the village walls. It was too thick and black to be a cooking fire, the scent too acrid. He recognised that smell. It was a smell he had breathed into his...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 41
41 _Enka_. _It wasn't enough. It wasn't nearly enough. There was something missing, something vitally important, but I couldn't figure out what..._ That's what Father had said back in his tent. Before... before everything. Looking at it now, Ander...
