The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Forty
Chapter Forty **(POV: Porter)** Everything was dark. "W- what's going on?" Porter asked, looking around. He couldn't feel Lowatai's hand on his head anymore. "We are in your mind," the elf's voice answered. A soft light broke the darkness to his...
The Protector and the Peacemaker: Chapter Fourteen
Chapter Fourteen **(Glenda)** "Open wide, your honor." Arch-Mythic Rayalga begrudgingly opened his beak and allowed Glenda to pour the contents of her vial into it. He shuddered as he tilted his head back to swallow the dark yellow liquid. "It...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Forty Three
Chapter Forty Three **(POV: Porter)** "You can open your eyes now." Porter felt like he was frozen in place, flinching from an attack that would never come. Faska's voice was cool and reassuring, and besides that Porter couldn't hear the sounds...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Forty Six
Chapter Forty Six I stood and stared at Stark for a few seconds, my hackles raised. His growl still echoed in my ears, chilling my blood. I wanted to growl back, but memories of the last time I'd done so were flashing in front of my eyes. Pain, blood,...
The Protector and the Peacemaker: Chapter Ten

Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty One

The Protector and the Peacemaker: Chapter Seven

The Protector and the Peacemaker: Chapter Twelve

Amber Silverblood: Chapter Sixty
Chapter Sixty I had been sitting in the waiting room for an hour without being called back when somebody finally came and sat down across from me. I almost didn't want to look at him, or her, or it, for fear of what he/she/it might look like, but I...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Two
Chapter Fifty Two My pulse spiked as I stared at the card in my hand. I had lost D.K.'s money. I'd actually managed to get it, and then I just let some punk dressed as a neon sign take it from me. D.K. was going to kill me for this! No, I told myself....
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Three
Chapter Three **(POV: Porter)** "Weapons at the ready," Granger ordered. Porter raised his wooden sword, pointing it at the young man facing him from the other side of the mat. The other boy drew his own sword with a dramatic flourish, grinning at...
