Alien Dreams My flanks against the stone, my hands curled against my chest, I breathlessly to the pulse of the hundred chambers throughout the odd temple of learning which I was homed within. I breathed slow and quiet -...
Alien Pain
The darkness is pleasing. The rains left, though the sky still rood heavy across the sky, filled with rain yet unfallen, Amidst the breeches of sunlight, shadows danced and played a merry game of chase and stalk, much...
To love from afar
And so with my staff against my chest, I lay my head down upon the bar, and listened to the quiet din of voice and song. My staff to my chest, I laid my fingers across the polished oak wood, and swayed slightly, lightly, against the current of...
Days spent Dreaming
It is hard to find work in these days and ages. One would expect that, on the frontier space between stars and planets, there'd be plenty of work for those of us with a natural mind for aerial acrobatics, especially when it comes to military and...
For'se, Gentleman Kobold!
Click. Click. Click. Heels on stone, a great jacket on a little body, a cap hiding the face from prying eyes. Too short to be a dwarf, but the smell of soot and coal was present, as was an over-sized flintlock pistol thrust into his belt. Click....
