18 "I think Nilia might be a little bit crazy, but in a good way," Hezzi said to the mountain, so far away he knew his voice could never reach it from here, but it wasn't really the mountain he was talking to anyway. "She makes me train with her every...

17 "So, how did it go?" Nilia asked, punching a training post hard enough to make the top vibrate. It was a bit scary to watch, actually, since Hezzi couldn't stop imagining that post as his own head. Not that Nilia would ever ever hurt him, of...

Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 52

52 Shekka had been caught in a paralytic trance this whole time, shocked by what her ears were telling her. She had heard the exchange between Banno and Wardo, had heard the wet rip of meat and the crunch of bone. She had listened as Wardo's words...

51 Are you real? Dorin was positive that was what Banno had said, but he couldn't understand what he meant by that. All he knew for certain was that he had to move, and he had to do it right now. That thing (it may look like a Wolf, but it was no more...

Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 49

49 The darkness crowded all around her. It wasn't just an absence of light anymore. It was a physical thing, with weight and substance, comprised of hundreds of bodies. They pushed her, jostled her, tried to force her back. "Get out of my way!" she...

Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 48

48 Dull pain, deep inside his head, throbbing behind his empty eye socket. It was always there, never waning, just like his anger. It boiled inside him, red hot and smoking, as he stepped through the shattered gates. _There were too many simply too...

47 "Line them up. Just like that, yeah." "Are we really going to...?" "What?" "Nothing." Dorin's face felt hot on the inside, but freezing cold on the outside. He was wet and shivering. He didn't understand what was going on. Why was everything...

Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 46

46 A lot happened in the moments following Wardo's 'verdict', and Dorin saw it all. He saw Ivio, Aisa, and Denko looking at each other, each of them feeling the same fear, the same despair, the same hopelessness. He saw his people - the Wolves he had...
