Entrance, Chapter 11, Breasts and Pie

The trip back was fairly uneventful. The girl remained in her room as often as not. The time when she wasn't down there hiding, she was staring out at the world from the railing with wide eyes. I approached her one of those times and put a hand on her...

Entrance, Chaper 10, Darkly Passionate Sacrifice

I laid a hand on her belly. She was warm, warm and soft. She smiled at me, then cuffed me behind the ears, "Stop gawking and let's go," she barked at me and turned away. Veronica was becoming quite a sight in her gravid state. I liked the effect on her...

The Magic of Promise

One of the greater gifts given to us by the Creators. As brute beasts, we knew nothing of the wonders of grasping the raw forces of the cosmos and turning them to our own devices. Now, this knowledge is seeped into our very bloodlines. This is most...

Understanding the Shadow

Let us begin with their arrival. With the Shattering, Raquestia, the old moon, was destroyed. With the debris, they came. It was not clear at first. They seemed to hide in the rocks, barely visible in the corner of the eye and a faint whisper. Most...

The City of Firmament

Founded in the 67th year of our occupancy of Promise, Firmament rapidly became a city worthy of the world's name. Situated strategically at the mouth of the great Sweetwater river, from which the nation it resides gained its name, it is one of the...

The Clans of Promise

When the Creators fashioned us from the beings of the cosmos, they did not wish us to weigh too heavily on our direct lineages. Their imparted wisdom lifted from us much of our baser instincts, and as one their own religious doctrine states, 'In that...
