Eagle Heart
Fumbling with his keys and almost dropping them, it was all Alex could do not to slam the door behind him, and fall on the floor sobbing. There was little point in that, of course. But then there was little point left in anything anymore, wasn’t there?...

Do a Barrel Roll!

Dragon's Soul Pt 2
Sighing, Rynoir looked back with annoyance, having to slow down a third time for his traveling companion. He had been assigned a new partner after the debacle of being found without his armor after what should have been an easy mission. Though, he was...
Seeing Things In A New Light
“Are you sure we won’t be walked in on? You said your uncle goes out there sometimes without telling anyone,” Alister asked, for what felt like the twelfth time that night. If Eli was being honest with himself, he couldn’t blame the man, given the...
