The Rikifur Chronicles: Chapter 18 – Gifts and Geasa
**Olivia's room was unchanged from Camorra's visit. Respectfully, Airy bent to one knee at the base of the dais, but she met the Maker's malevolent gaze. Airy was, after all a sovereign in her own right. Olivia was unambiguously of some much loftier...

The Rikifur Chronicles: Chapter 1 - Airy
Chapter 1 - Airy My name is Airiphryone, and I am a daughter of the Rabbit people of Rikifur. My name is pronounced Air-rif-re-o-nay, at bit awkward I know. Being named after the first queen of Rikifur and the single most revered and important female...
Not Grimm - A Furry Tail
"Once upon a time" really is a trite and overused phrase to begin a fairy tale - even a furry tail. What does the phrase mean anyway? Is it just another way of saying "at some time in the past" or "a very long time ago?" Perhaps it is meant to invoke a...
