Amber Silverblood: Chapter Seventy One

Amber Silverblood: Chapter Seventy
Chapter Seventy Four hours had passed since Hendricks locked me up. I could tell because he had a big, noisy grandfather clock set up along the wall across from me. During that time, I had paced my cage, bitten my collar, scratched at it, and tried...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Twenty Four
Chapter Twenty Four **(POV: Azkular)** A deep anger burned in Azkular's heart as he knelt before the Arch-Mirror. It was a mirror the likes of which you would see nowhere else. L-shaped, half of it rested against the wall, and then angled down onto...
