The Proving Grounds
I glanced down towards the leaflet in my hand, before looking at the large building in front of me. There were a couple of people chatting around the front, all wearing weapons on either their waists or their backs. I was wearing dazzling emerald...
Family Reunions
Firstly everyone, while this story may start out differently from the others in this series, this is easily the best (and longest)! Also, the point of view in the last paragraph switches from Matt to Chloe, just so you don't get confused or anything,...
The Seeds of a Greater Evil
| Â | _I was soaring over endless oceans of green, red and sparkling blue, with the mountains in front of me, and a soothing wind blowing me to wherever I was headed._ _Suddenly, I spied two cloaked horsemen fleeing from several...
Transformations
"Oh, come on, dad! Hurry up! We're gunna be late!" Miranda said, exasperated. I just sighed, thinking of how much she looked like her mother; except her eyes, her sapphire blue eyes. Mitch just sniggered. "Well, you'd better get going,...
Pain and Vengance
I looked over at the horizon, dark with the coming storm, hardly believing that a month had passed since I was cast into this war-torn country I looked around, and saw Sol walking up to me, her belly starting to show her litter of pups. She glanced...
Memories
Sam and I were laughing as we returned home in our car from our little excursion. "I remember that time you fell into that mud puddle, your fur was brown for a week!" she giggled. I shrugged, embarrassed. "If I remember correctly, you fell in it...

The Dawn of a New Era
I looked down at the gravestone, set high on a windy, lonely bluff. I couldn't believe that Chloe was really gone. I just couldn't. I started sobbing, my tears splashing onto the stone. There was no actual body. It had never been recovered from...
A Final Curse
I looked down at my chest, where, until recently, it had been pierced by that cursed sword. I immediately tried to summon a fireball, and to my relief, I was able to conjure one, but I was disturbed by how dim it was. All of a sudden, it went...
The Dragon and the Armour
"Chloe?" Mitch asked, concerned. I looked around, surprised. "I'm alright," I replied. "Ok, back to my original question, what the hell just happened? And who was that?" "That was Freyja, what you could call my guardian spirit," Mitch still...
The Long Way Home
The blood-red sky stretched from horizon to horizon. Unearthly wailing filled the air. The very rock of the mountain groaned as if it was suffering an unbearable torment. The house around us was in ruins. Then, with not even a whisper,...
Through Hell and Back
It was the smell that got to me first. The putrid mix of rotting flesh, fetid meat and sweat. Then it was the lack of gravity. I turned to Mitch. "Geez! You weren't joking!" He just nodded, cradling his modified pulse rifle in the crook of...
