Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 2)

Wayfinder's Journals (1)
Day 46 I can hardly believe my luck! Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would be allowed access to the capitol itself. The grand city of Ocala surpasses all the legends I've heard, truly it is an oasis secreted away within the desert. I could...
NJ Legion Iced Tea
Violently severing large chunks of code might have been wonderful stress relief, but it didn't actually accomplish much. She was still a machine. She... she couldn't love Michael. He was out there, a biological marvel of reactions and chemicals. She...
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 6)
Kage fell asleep quickly. As he expected, he quickly found himself in the Tipi with Saccularius. There was no chaotic vision, nor soul sucking vortex, for which he was glad. He stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to the wolf he'd killed just an...
Prelude
Our story start as most stories do... with war. Ours is a violent people, with conflict reaching all the way back to the stone age. Greed and envy, wrath and intolerance, prejudice and racism, any cause was a just cause for bloodshed. The myriad...
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 5)
When Mordekai awoke in his tent, he sat up wearily and rubbed his eyes. The dying embers of a small fire gave the tent a harsh red tint, casting long shadows that were only just beginning to fade with Belluosus's rising. His skull ached like he'd taken...
Wayfinder's Journals (3)
**Day one of a new journey!** **I've decided to re-start the numbering of my journals since leaving the capital, as this is a separate, much grander journey than my expedition west. I wasn't allowed to bring any of my clothes (The shock of it!) and...
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 8)
"What do you know about my father?" Kage spoke softly, with clenched fists, and Saccularius didn't hear him at first. "Although, I suppose he might have taught someone else to fight like that... nah, dude was antisocial, no way he'd trust anyone that...
Just Stories
Tobias sat at his mother's knee with wide eyes as she told him tales about ages long past, days when spirits both good and evil roamed the earth. To him, they were just stories, but they were entrancing and enrapturing, and he held onto each word with...
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 11)
"Just three. I challenge you." "You have nothing to wager with! Your life is forfeit, and your soul is condemned before both gods!" "I disagree. I challenge you to a trial by combat. If I lose, you are correct, and you may bury me beneath the earth....
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 7)
When Khaejiran awoke, he was considerably less comfortable. He'd been dreaming of... something soft, and warm. After his conversation with Saccularius, all he remembered was the slightly spicy scent of fresh pine sap and a soft, warm feeling. When he...
Finish the Story (Valentine's Day)
The knocking of the door became so insistent, so perversely annoying, it disrupted the young male's sleep. With a loud groan he got up and sleepily walked towards the bathroom. It had been a short night, a heavy day at work the day before... His mind...
