42 - anaaaaaaah!!" "What!? What is it, Devin!?" "This is stupid!" "_You're_stupid!" Kiana snapped back. Not the cleverest of comebacks, but she was far too fretful to think up anything more original. She hacked away at the thick underbrush, her...

8 - flew past in a grey blur, almost knocking Kadai clean over, and then vanished into the crowd like a mouse into tall grass. "Hezzi, wait!" Kadai screamed after him, but it was no use. Hezzi skirted past awestruck Wolves left and right without even...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 19
19 The morning air was cool and felt good on Kadai's bruised face. He considered staying in his tent all day long, but such action was not befitting a Chieftain. He always walked through the village this time of day, and everyone knew it. Straying...

10 ... the Cora. She could see Him so clearly... every miraculous detail. For here, in this world, she was no longer blind. In fact, she could see more clearly than any Wolf has ever seen before. This was a world of colour, energy, and light. So...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 21
21 Kadai sat down on his bedroll, thankful to be back in the shade after spending so much time out in the sun. After all the things he's gone through; burying his baby daughter in the woods, watching his sons get brutalized to within an inch of their...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 20
20 "It's not your fault, you know," Kadai said, sifting through the ash. It was an odd sight, the Chieftain and his son on clean-up duty, work that would normally have fallen to Wolves of low standing. But no one had stepped up to do it, and Kadai...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 12
12 'Banno' he said his name was. Only two syllables, but it still made Luke feel uneasy. He had roared that name by the river, and at the time, Luke had thought it would be the last word he would ever hear. He folded his arms across the table and...

11 ... them all... kill them all... ki..." Shekka's eyes fluttered and her vision flickered rapidly between two shades of black. She squeezed her eyes shut, opened them again, but it stayed black. She didn't even have that one blurry spot of colour in...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 14
14 She was afraid, so very, very afraid. Not just for herself, but for the others, too. There was a time she wouldn't have given a damn, but evidently that time was over. Mellah clutched the bear pelt to her breast and shivered, unable to shake the...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 13
13 The whole world was quickly sliding down into hell, and Danado didn't have the faintest idea of how to deal with it. Normally he wouldn't even be in a position where he felt he actually _needed_ to deal with anything. He usually just kept to...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 18
18 Walking down that hallway was the longest journey Luke ever had to make in his short lifetime. He had fetched a candle from the kitchen, but it barely did anything to keep the shadows at bay. If anything, the feeble glow only seemed to imbue them...
