Court Magician's Apprentice
"Father, do I really have to be here?" "Yes, Finnigan. It's important that you mingle and form relationships, even at your age." An audible, yet quiet groan escaped the boy's lips as young Prince Finnigan Ayersi Faustus stood next to his...
The Manor
The night was quiet. In a peaceful, eerily silent suburban neighbourhood, where the houses stretched for miles, a long boy shuffled his way down the pavement, illuminated by only the lamp posts he passed under and the dim glow of the moon above. His...
The Diplomatic Trip
"Finnigan. Finnigan? Wake up, we're here." The boy shifted, reaching a hand up to rub his eyes as he subtly moved his body forwards, inadvertently placing his muzzle and face in the trajectory of the blinding rays of sunlight that seeped in...
Group Treat
"Don't you think that costume's a little....uh, on the nose?" Vell turned on the spot to blink innocently at his long-standing friend and then looked down at his costume, grasping the edges of the flowing trimmed cape and twisting his body this...
The Daring Prince
In the quiet of the morning in the kingdom of Elkine, the young crown prince awoke from his slumber to the thundering racket of tumbling feet and startled yelps. The 10 year old boy raised his head, his fur dishevelled and messy from a restless...
Lights Out
For as long as Kaden could remember, he had been afraid of the dark. That wasn't necessarily an uncommon thing for an 8 year old, especially one as timid and frightful as the young mouse, but it was how irrational the fear became sometimes, to the...
His Pokémon's Love

Klen's First
This was it. His first day. 'God, please, don't finish early', Klen thought. The barely legal lizard strode up the stairs towards the fully open doors, like he was walking into a courthouse, and his reptilian nostrils immediately picked up...
The Other Kitsune
There was one thing about summer that Rikku liked most of all: going to the park. At the tender age of 8, Rikku-- a young fox with grey and black fur and a messy, spiky crop of blue hair top his head-- was at the stage where everything in his life...
Insatiable Hunger
In the cold dead of night, a figure lurched, breathing ragged, eyes wild. He needed a distraction. Any distraction from the cold settling into his bones or the feeling in his stomach, the carnal, insatiable sensation that refused to be quiet. He...
Unexpected Call
Through a thin strip between a pair of curtains, a beam of line shone down against a double bed in a small, plain room. The wedged rectangle of light fell directly onto the eyes of a sleeping teenager bat, and the boy turned, groaning in frustration at...
Friendly Competition
For what had to be the millionth time in the past 3 months, Vell was nervous. But there was more to it than that: amongst those nerves bubbled an excitement and confidence that he'd never felt before. His body was a cocktail of emotions, but it was an...
