Victernus - Chapter 22
The dark, dry cage still contained Namara when he woke up from his sleep. He felt something vibrating beneath it, giving him the impression that he was moving. Someone was sitting beside the cage, and he could tell that it was Jordan by...
Victernus - Chapter 21
When Namara did not return, Mahalia and Athius decided to go out and find Gala. Because Mahalia's tracking device told her that Namara was still near the forum, she figured that he had gotten side-tracked with the scientists. It was not...
Victernus - Chapter 20
The lights of New Selania dimmed when a thick fog descended on the city. The streets no longer reflected the grey buildings or the cavern ceiling. It seemed like they had been washed grey with the fog; as if they had become part of it. The...
Victernus - Chapter 19
Athius walked along the street to his school, hoping to find Namara before he found any of his friends. The way there was quite simple, as the city wasn't very large - he simply had to take a left off of his street and then follow the next one to the...
Victernus - Chapter 18
Namara sat at the square, wooden table in the dining room, running his fingers across the smooth wood. He had already eaten and was now watching Mahalia on the other side of the table eat an apple with one leg over her other knee. She was...
Victernus - Chapter 12
A few hours after they began their journey, the dark clouds rolled overhead and replaced the usual white. Thunder and lightning crashed through Namara's senses as he bounded forward, causing him to mind the metal sections of the tube so as...
Victernus - Chapter 10

Namara sat beside the bed in Kyon's room; his knees pulled to his chest and his arms wrapped around them. There was a desk in front of him with papers and old books strewn across it. A small lamp hovered over it, giving the chaotic surface...
Victernus - Chapter 8
Able to walk on his paws again, Namara stepped through the entrance to his group's backup lab with Mahalia trailing behind. They had dragged Lynn into the middle of a forest and left him there on his own just a few minutes earlier. Inside...
Victernus - Chapter 7
Lynn took a step away from the transporter when it rematerialized him. There were few sounds in the forest at that time of the night and the air felt a bit moist, like it was going to rain soon. But, the quiet ceased when Mahalia stepped...
Victernus - Chapter 6
For the next few hours, Namara laid on a soft bed of white feathers in one of the rooms below the platforms, or control stations, as they had come to call them. A black wooden dresser stood on either side and a waterfall came down just...
Victernus - Chapter 5
It was only a couple of hours before they reached Colorado and were on the road again. The "Sanctuary," as Namara's friends had called it, was built far into the Rocky Mountains, away from most cities and inaccessible unless the way in was...
