Abyssus Abbey Chapter 11: A Whisper
## Chapter 11: A Whisper Tuco followed the taste of Rigby's scent through the halls of the Abbey. Hob was not with him; the little imp had cowered away from the hollow gaze of the Gasen watching the western gate, and had pleaded and begged Tuco not to...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 4: Ritual
## Chapter 4: Ritual Tuco knew he should be getting sleep, but he lay awake, feeling like a lute string that had been wound too tightly. Now and then his fingers would trace the creases in his neck where on his first day he'd almost become some kind...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 12: Incubus
## Chapter 12: Incubus Tuco found a bit of dry blanket and toweled himself off as much as he could. More dirty bedclothes to be added to the pile outside, he thought. And still, even after all of that, his twin shafts stayed erect, but least they...
Abyssus Abbey 2 Chapter 9: Summoned
## Chapter 9: Summoned Tuco glared through the invisible wall of the summoning circle at the Brother who'd captured him. The little monk was scarcely two-thirds Tuco's height, and less than a fifth his size, and Tuco was strapped with muscle, fangs,...
Abyssus Abbey 2: Epilogue
## Epilogue Kleanthes cursed the gods under his breath as he picked his way through the thorny underbrush, shoving brambles aside with his crook. He cursed himself, too, for bringing the flock so far from their usual leas, but the rain had been light...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 3: A New Normal

Abyssus Abbey Chapter 13: Small Sacrifices

Abyssus Abbey 2 Chapter 17: A Turbulent Priest
## Chapter 17: A Turbulent Priest The sunlight dappling the forest floor swam as the leaves above swayed in a gentle breeze. The day might have seemed peaceful, even idyllic, were Tuco not bound and under the control of his most feared mortal...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 6: Feasting
## Chapter 6: Feasting Tuco didn't follow Pike back to the dormitory immediately. His mind was still racing from the discoveries--and his loins were still aching and unsatisfied. He didn't think he could sleep just yet. So he leaned against the wall...
Abyssus Abbey 2 Chapter 3: Friends in Low Places
## Chapter 3: Friends in Low Places One can only tolerate a calm mind and an impressive view for so long. Tuco had no idea how long days or nights lasted in the Abyss, but the passage of night seemed interminable. He had no need for sleep, and so...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 10: Imp and Goliath
## Chapter 10: Imp and Goliath The storm was on them, water pouring down in sheets. Tuco thought it must be about midday, but the sky was so dark it might almost have been night. The rain made travel treacherous, as heavy mudslides ran down the...
Abyssus Abbey Chapter 8: Penance
## Chapter 8: Penance Tuco stared at the pile of boulders and rocks. There had to be fifty of the boulders at least, many of them bigger than his head, and uncountable smaller rocks and pebbles. “All of those?" he asked. He clutched his robe around...
