Predator Fixation
Predator Fixation White air escaped from the black horse's nostrils as he walked alongside the white wolf, leaving behind hoof and paw prints side-by-side in the thick snowbanks. The wolf was grinning happily, letting his long, pink tongue loll out as...
The Fox General: Justice
Justice We had received the welcome that all heroics were due when we arrived at Fort Velika: confusion and slack-jawed stares from the guards manning the ramparts of the wooden walls. Indeed, had it not been for Vito and his exceptionally flashy...
The Fox General: Buried Secrets
Buried Secrets Cloaked in a veil of secrecy, we marched through the rough hills of Bosnia. The land was truly stunning. Just about every hill we climbed provided glimpses of endless forest valleys and lakes; it almost reminded me of my days in the...
The Fox General: Reunion
Reunion Salvia, for all of her questionable morals and shrewd business acumen, immediately sprang up and had her numerous servants dress me and remove any bindings and erotic accessories. Most likely though, she simply saw the value in my offer of...
The Fox General: Trophy
Trophy If freedom were defined by chaos, the Free Kingdom of Carpathia's self-proclaimed name would be very apt indeed. Villages were surrounded by faltering pastures, scorched fields, and crumbling homesteads. One could not look in any direction...
The Fox General: Flames at Balaton
Flames at Balaton _We're trapped._ My claws shredded bedsheets and I passed the strips to Galip and the fox slave so that they might tie them together. I was a machine, no more intelligent than a windmill. _We're trapped._ There was no room in my...

The Fox General: The Dye Has Been Cast
The Dye Has Been Cast I had to admit that my mind was feeling significantly clearer after my sabbatical. My body also felt ten years younger without the poisonous effects of the poppy lingering in my blood. As such, I was grateful that my officers...
The Fox General: Lay Waste the Land
Lay Waste the Land Not long after Taj was laid to rest, we received messengers from both Livio and Vito. Vito reported on a seemingly effortless march through the Balkans thanks to the promise of slave liberation. The wolves of the Balkans appeared...
The Fox General: Salvia
Salvia _An ideal Dicator would be from the military or the admiralty. When civic rule fails, the military must step in to provide a different perspective._ The day began like any other at the camp. The air was crisp and smoky, even inside the cloth...
The Fox General: Captured
Capture _The Grand Mercantile Republic of the Foxes is ruled by the Doge, who is elected with the assent of thirty-three Senators, one from each of the former independent Fox Republics, who in turn, are elected by the Populace of the Republic, with...
