Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 9

9 - crunching outside her tent, one pair heavy, one pair light, both of them loud enough to wake the dead. Even after they had passed by and the sound should have disappeared, she could still hear them inside her head. Maddening... infuriating... How...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 16

16 There was a fair bit of catcalling at first, and many Wolves claiming that Ander was only slandering Banno's memory, putting words in his mouth in an attempt to save his own skin. Ander couldn't even go a single minute without somebody yelling that...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 21

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 17

17 Uproar. Ander watched in horror as the Wolves before him went completely berserk. Codo and Erris grabbed fistfuls of burning logs and hurled them as far as they could. Multitudes of Wolves screamed and shouted - not in fear, but uncontrollable...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 15

15 "Too tight for you, murderer?" Garten asked, pulling hard on the knot around Ander's wrist until it started to dig into his flesh like a thousand tiny teeth. "No, that feels just about right, thank you," Ander replied. "Good! Because I predict...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 13

13 "Sarah, where are you?" Kadai whispered, looking left and right, his voice completely drowned out by the babbling of the river. The rain had stopped almost completely now, reduced to individual kisses of ice striking his body at random intervals,...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 12

12 The wind had died down, and the first stars of the night were starting to peek out from the gaps between the thinning clouds, but the rain was still there, falling in a fine mist. It covered the monstrous beech tree in a gleaming blanket, doubling...
