A Forge of Heroes - Plans and Punishment

The Forge of Heroes - Trials
"You know, I'm really beginning to dislike you." "That's hardly a way to start off a conversation, Kar'na." Kar'na opened his eyes, to see his father sitting across from him. They were still in the forest clearing that the other individual had...

A Tail of Two Peoples - Reunited
"Come on Svara, it's been two days! We have to go back! Kar'na could be in trouble!" "You heard my orders, Kiri," Svara said, giving the wolf a sidelong glance. "I am to get you to Arlea. Kar'na told me to wait here for a week. If he doesn't show,...

A "tail" of two foxes (chapter 1)
"beep-beep-beep" "beep-beep-beep". "Fuck", I moaned, as my alarm clock went off, the shrill beeping startling me awake. I lay there in bed for about a minute, wishing the alarm would...

The sky was lit a bright pinkish red and the air was clear as crystal. The road Skylar and Vincent walked on was a quiet, suburban street, rarely traveled by any vehicle besides soccer mom vans. The scent of trees complemented the chirping sounds that...
A Tail of Two Peoples - Unexpected Kinship
