A Beast in the Barnyard [COMMISSION]
A Beast in the Barnyard "We're here, sir," the white-furred fox in the driver's seat announced before peering down at the dashboard's GPS and adjusting his black cap. "At least, I think we are..." Everard snorted, leaning into the tinted windows....
Lacktail Loaned [COMMISSION]
Lacktail Loaned "Sit." Bryana's mother tapped the table with her claws. Age and a lack of care had made her nails exceptionally long and curved, almost like talons. Rolling her eyes, Bryana sat down on the other end of the table and...
A Taste of Wealth [COMMISSION]
A Taste of Wealth A week, one very frustrating week had passed since that wretched coyote cursed me. Jalith had parted ways with the company. The crocodile who had once been my golden ticket out of the caravan had left without so much as saying...
The Sorcerer's Tower [COMMISSION]
The Sorcerer's Tower _Click._ The tumblers all fell into place and I twisted the lock with a toothy grin. Gently, I pushed the heavy wooden door open, keeping my sharp ears listening for the slightest noise of a trip-wire tightening or a gear...
The Fox General: Ultimatum

Bryana Broken [COMMISSION]
Bryana Broken Lacktail writhed in her sleep before waking up with a hacking cough. It was the same as the day before and the day before that...winter had come yet again with its cold chills that, along with the air of her new confines reeking of...
