Terrible Toys
**1 - Seracen** The shop was relatively unassuming, situated on a lonely street corner. Very few cars came this way anymore, not after the larger shopping centre was built. Ash looked at it doubtfully, then back at the address written on a small...
A Rare Source of Magic
The captain waited silently, motioning for his men to keep quiet as well. They were concealed in the undergrowth to one side of a small stream. He had it on good authority that there was a dragoness that came here to drink every day. So far, they had...
The Mage's Deal
Hyruzon was sitting lazily in the entrance to his cave, head between his paws as he looked down the slope from his home. His cave was at the top of a large hill and he had hollowed out a cave with magic when he'd moved to the area. When the hillside...
An Early-Morning Gift
The doorbell was far too loud in the early morning. It rang twice and was a bad approximation of a real bell, a loud buzzing gong sound echoing through the house. At the other end of her home, a dragoness gave an annoyed groan, covering her head with a...
Egg-cellent Training
Crystal groaned on the ground, shifting around hazily. _What...what happened_? She cracked open an eye, shutting it again quickly as a powerful headache flared to life in her skull. She groaned again, mind fuzzy. It was hard to think, her thoughts...
A Violation of Trust
Tirre sat on the bus, squirming slightly in place. She gulped, glancing around at the other travellers. There were a few, although the bus wasn't packed. She had a row of seats to herself but there were still many in earshot. The slightest sound she...
The Desert Trap
Myra shielded her eyes, looking over the flat, sandy ground into the distance. The sun beat down all around her, the air shimmering as heat reflected off of the earth. Luckily, the hippogryph's white feathers on her top half deflected most of the heat....
My Pet Babysitter
"There's food in the pantry and cupboards," the vixen reassured Tamara. The border collie was shorter even than the vulpine, though not by much. "You can make it fresh if you want, or just heat up something from the fridge." "Thanks," Tam smiled. The...
Heated Rebirth
Jocelyn sighed, swinging around in her desk chair. It made a small creak at the end of every left-hand rotation, the sound barely audible over the drone of office noise. The office was a few floors up and little was visible from Jocelyn's desk. There...
Mistaken Trap
Seracen moved around the front of her cave, just outside the dim opening in the cliff face. It was a little beyond the limit of her home where the dragoness's power dropped off considerably, but she still had a fair bit of magic to use and more than...
A Fitting Punishment
The day was rather cold, especially for Hyruzon, flying high above the ground in the morning. Even in spring, it was freezing in the mountains and he was thankful for the thick coat of fur that dulled the worst of the chill. He wove his way around the...
Interrupted Sleep
Seracen lay on her side, breathing slowly. She'd fallen asleep reading her book, which was still open in front of her little nest of blankets. The dragon was in female form, tail moving slowly swinging back and forth behind her as breathed deeply and...
