Winter
It was snowing, it's always snowing now. Now that endless winter has gripped the world. The only light now comes from the feeble flickering of fires, struggling to keep the darkness and cold away. I was one of the luck few, my thick fur held the cruel...
Berserker Part 2: Declaration of War
Morning found me sprawled across the bed in the same position that I fell asleep in, I was roused by a soft knocking at my door. I cracked open an eye and was nearly blinded by the sunlight streaming through the window, I groaned and stretched....
Curse Part 3
"So where can we find him these days anyway?" Alice asked. "Probably one of his usual spots." "Well that's helpful..." I chuckled and rose, putting my sword through my belt, heading for the door. We both knew the kinds of places where our contact...
Curse Part 4
Needless to say we drew a fair bit of attention as we made our way back to the bar. Between the crimson streaks that colored Alice's fur to the blood that still dripped from mine, we drew many worried looks. The fact that I was naked probably didn't...
Curse Part 1
Being immortal can get quite dull when you've been at it for a few hundred years. I was born close to five hundred years ago from the union of a dragon and wolfkin, don't ask how that worked, and I take heavily from Mother. Tall and built like a...
Curse part 6
I woke up sprawled across Alice's bed. It seemed as if she had simply hauled me up on to the bed by the paws and just left me in whatever position I ended up in. I had a feeling that she had probably dragged me down the stairs the same way. I sat up...
Berserker Part 3: War
The news of war quickly spread through the rest of the village. For the remainder of the day I saw the pack rushing about, gathering equipment and supplies for tomorrow's march. By nightfall we gathered all that we would need; tents, bedrolls, and...
Berserker Part 4: Death and Darkness
I came to my senses several hours later to find Death curled up beside me, her head on my chest. She must have felt me stir for her dark eyes flickered open. Slowly she sat and stretched, the motion doing interesting things to her elegant figure. I...
Berserker Part 5: Final Battle
The dragon-kin weren't as eager to fight as we thought. Days passed and their army slowly advanced across the barren plains. Tension was high throughout the camp, my kin milled about desperately searching for things to keep themselves busy. The sounds...
Framed part 5
I double checked the Dragoness' note and headed for the nearest train station with a line to the Heart. If she was right my targets often met at one of the Heart's casinos for a few rounds of poker. Hopefully they'd be there now, these bastards went...
Curse Part 2
The train ground to a halt at the final station. Mr. Ward moved as if to get off but I put a hand on his shoulder and shook my head. A conductor walked down the aisle and took a quick look at us, he smile and said something into a hand held radio. It...
Framed part 4
Sadly I finished my dinner just before the show started. I suppose that was for the best, if I stayed for the start I knew I would end up staying for the whole thing. Alice's amateur nights tend to be well worth the price of admission, mostly because...
