Lioness and Fox Pt. 3
It wasn't long before the lioness realized that the rain wasn't going to stop for some time. The clouds had darkened and dropped low enough to cover the tops of the hills that bordered the valley. A mist caressed the treetops outside of their little...
The Crown Prince of the North
I've probably been playing too much Horizon Zero Dawn, but I really dig the whole 'post-apocalyptic royalty' thing. History is cyclical, y'know? Prince Maximillian of the North was the first of his name. His father had departed tradition to call him...

I've been feeling low lately, so I wrote something fairly light and happy. No real content warning on this one, except for some generic fantasy violence/horror at the start. This story _does_ have a happy ending. On a peaceful, sunny afternoon in late...
