Outcast - Chapter 1
**Chapter 1** My name is Dalan. I had another name once, one that was my birthright as first-born son to my father. It was a name he gave to me, and when the time came I would give it to my first born son. It was my destiny to be a part of a line...
Metamor City - Rebirth
Hey all. This is a little tale I put together for a podcast fanfic contest. I'm not sure if I'm going to win the contest or if the story will be recorded for the show at some point, so I thought I'd post it here since it is a bit on the furry...
Outcast - Chapter 6
**Chapter 6** Life is cheap... In the Clans that's almost always the case. In ages past, lives were thrown away with such lack of compassion it was sickening. Supplicants died by the hundreds as they ingested poisons meant for their...
Outcast - Chapter 18
**Chapter 18** When my friend Risha Goddard was 4 years old, her parents bought her a stuffed tiger for Ascension Day. There wasn't really anything special about it; it was just one of the many plush animals you could buy during that time of the...
Outcast - Chapter 24
**Chapter 24** My world became motion. From waking up to finally bedding down, my life became a whirlwind of motion and activity. Between work, school, and my training, there seemed to be no real time for me to simply stop and catch my breath....
Outcast - Chapter 19
**Chapter 19** Every question has an answer. Finding those answers is often never easy, and sometimes what we find makes us wonder if we should have started looking in the first place. Despite what philosophers and advocates will tell you, there is...
Outcast - Chapter 21
**Chapter 21** There's a prayer I learned...a type of daily benediction I heard from someone who'd been to Earth. It was a call to one of their gods for strength, serenity, and wisdom. The prayer is to grant one the strength to change what can be...
Outcast - Chapter 20
**Chapter 20** Honour and pride are often confused for each other. During the Age of the Warlords, many atrocities were committed in the supposed name of 'honour.' In truth, they were little more than gestures based on a need to preserve one's sense...
Outcast - Chapter 8
**Chapter 8** Next morning, the place was heavy with the combined scent of _Tokia_ leaves and sickness. The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to look towards where the cougar was sleeping to make sure she hadn't thrown up during the night....
Outcast - Chapter 23
**Chapter 23** I never should have told Khrasa that I had the next two weeks off from work in order to clear my head. It seemed that Sensei's idea of clearing one's head was to have the stuffing knocked out of it on a regular basis. I swear he used...
Outcast - Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Control...that's what it's all about. Having it...wanting it...craving it...control is the one thing that seems to drive us. When we have control, particularly of our own lives, we feel invulnerable. We're the centre of the...
Outcast - Chapter 2
**Chapter 2** I never gave it much thought back then, but it seems strange to me now that no one came to my aid that night. Many Clansmen - some of them seasoned fighters - were still in the building, yet no one ever came. Had I known then...
