Victernus - Chapter 22
The dark, dry cage still contained Namara when he woke up from his sleep. He felt something vibrating beneath it, giving him the impression that he was moving. Someone was sitting beside the cage, and he could tell that it was Jordan by...
Victernus - Chapter 21
When Namara did not return, Mahalia and Athius decided to go out and find Gala. Because Mahalia's tracking device told her that Namara was still near the forum, she figured that he had gotten side-tracked with the scientists. It was not...
Victernus - Chapter 20
The lights of New Selania dimmed when a thick fog descended on the city. The streets no longer reflected the grey buildings or the cavern ceiling. It seemed like they had been washed grey with the fog; as if they had become part of it. The...
Victernus - Chapter 19
Athius walked along the street to his school, hoping to find Namara before he found any of his friends. The way there was quite simple, as the city wasn't very large - he simply had to take a left off of his street and then follow the next one to the...
Victernus - Chapter 18
Namara sat at the square, wooden table in the dining room, running his fingers across the smooth wood. He had already eaten and was now watching Mahalia on the other side of the table eat an apple with one leg over her other knee. She was...
Victernus - Chapter 17
Athius slid his keycard through the scanner beside the door. The street behind him was absent of most noises, except for his own presence. He knew he was out late and that it might come with some consequences, but he hoped that his parents...
Victernus - Chapter 16

Victernus - Chapter 14
Namara woke up in a hospital bed with several IVs attached to his arms. The room he was in was small and white - monitoring equipment, a door, and a metal rolling table stood to his left and a window and chair were on his right. He sat up...
Victernus - Chapter 13
New Selania was mankind's latest attempt at society. It was located deep beneath the ruins of Washington D.C., the city that once held the seat of all of the world's power. The entire world barely managed to unite into a new civilization,...
Victernus - Chapter 15
Athius picked up a long, thick stick and then charged at a creature that was boring a hole in Namara's leg. It used the sharp ridge on its forehead to tear at him. The animal looked like some sort of cross between a bat and a lizard, with...
Victernus - Chapter 10
A blank, dark silence filled Namara's mind. It lasted for just a few minutes. An undying force tore at the empty space, dying to get in and wreak havoc upon him. But it didn't. The emptiness quickly became calming. Nothing existed there -...
Victernus - Chapter 9
Namara sat beside the bed in Kyon's room; his knees pulled to his chest and his arms wrapped around them. There was a desk in front of him with papers and old books strewn across it. A small lamp hovered over it, giving the chaotic surface...
