Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 77
77 He looked at her hand for a very, very long time. They had dropped her in a ditch overgrown with bushes, and her hand was sticking out of the brambles, as if asking a kindly passer-by to help her back up. Dorin was afraid of what he would find if...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 76
76 "Shekka, you're a real mess, and I say that with love." "Go to hell, Wardo." "From the looks of things, you beat me to it." She brandished a bloody piece of broken arrow at his face, but she was off by about three feet. Her eyes had faded to the...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 62
62 The rocks were slippery beneath his bare feet, constantly shifting over each other as if consciously trying to trip him up. They pushed painfully against his soles with every step, but he had no idea how long the feeling in his feet would last with...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 61
61 - made her go outside! In the cold! What kind of a terrible father are you, huh!?" Banno swiped his claws across James's face, but the dead Fox only nodded once and lay still again, just an empty piece of meat with a flapping jaw. "Hey! I'm talking...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 80
80 Dorin knew something was wrong the moment he saw that column of smoke rising up from beyond the village walls. It was too thick and black to be a cooking fire, the scent too acrid. He recognised that smell. It was a smell he had breathed into his...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 22
22 It all clicked into place just then, and Hezzi rounded on Wardo, angrier than he's been in months. "You filthy coward!" Wardo looked left and right, a comically fake expression of confusion plastered all over his smug face. "Who? Me?" "Yes, you!...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 32
32 The iron bars were colder than ice against his back, so cold they almost seemed to burn. Hezzi could feel their blocky pattern even through his fur, eating into his flesh. "Sit still," Mother ordered, and Hezzi did his very best to comply, but...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 27
27 "Oh no..." Danado whispered as some Wolves cheered and others stood stupefied. The Chieftaincy had changed hands four times in a single hour, twice to the same Wolf. This was unheard of. "Can he even do that?" Lana snorted. "Wardo manipulated the...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 41
41 Mateo was having the weirdest dream. He knew it had to be a dream because the big brown lug was in it, and he didn't have any reason to talk to this buffoon in real life. Still, he didn't want to wake up just yet, not until he could put the bastard...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 31
31 Dorin felt like throwing up again, but there was nothing left in his stomach. He didn't understand what he was feeling. It was like a terrible, empty, sucking sensation deep inside, like he was about to collapse inward like an unstable...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 30
30 "Laanaaah!" Danado shouted, his whole world collapsing before his eyes. He struggled against Sorrin's grip, thrashing and flailing. "Don't go, Dan! They'll kill you, too! Don't -" "Shut up! That's my sister! _That's my sister!_" He finally broke...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 29
29 She burst through the crowd, dagger in hand, knocking that old crone on her tail without even noticing. Wardo's eyes went wide and his mouth dropped open and oh... how Lana relished the sight. There was nothing fake about that look, no gleeful...
