A Kobold's Heart
Immortality could be a dangerous thing. It was seen in dragons, most often. There was no known age at which a dragon would die naturally; the oldest were rumored to be thousands of years old, beacons of wisdom and intelligence - yet those were few...
Fogged Lust
Geralt knew something was wrong almost as soon as he entered the area. He'd hunted many monsters before in his time as a witcher - this, however, was different. It was rare to see a place so deserted, so... eerie. More often than not, if there was a...
The Knight and the Wizard
Magical rituals were unstable things at best. It was a basic fact that was taught to even those that weren't skilled in the magical arts; there were too many ways a ritual could backfire if it was interrupted, and most of them were horribly dangerous....
Broken Powers
Superheroes. The word seemed a little corny, now that they were actually real. They were things to look up to in the comics, sure - people that always won, that would always strive past any adversity to defeat whatever evil awaited them. The idea...
Wild Hearts
Matthew still didn't know why he'd done it. It was a _deathclaw_, for crying out loud - not some poor, helpless creature just trying to survive in the Wastelands. The beasts were known for being incredibly dangerous and tough to kill, often taking...
The Conquest: Part Two
Victor yawned, glancing lazily at his watch. He had only two hours left to go on his shift, thank goodness. The man had never really been good at holding up a night shift; he could never really get himself to sleep in the middle of the day, and so...
Caught in the Tear
The Tear. It was just a colloquial term, really. The Tear was one of the few places in all reality that didn't have a true name. True names came from the magic that saturated a land, but the tear was more of a _gap_ than it was a location - A...
A Demon's Pride
Thorpe dragged himself up the steps of the tower as lightning flashed around him. It almost seemed to seep through the stone, as though the light wasn't quite sure what to do with itself - the intensity of the magic around them _buzzed_, corrupting and...
A Knight's Pride
There was a tension in the kingdom of Astronath that hadn't been there before. Quiet murmurs reigned the streets, and every so often, eyes would flicker nervously to the dragons standing proudly atop the Wall that protected their kingdom. People needed...
A Dragon's Pride
Khalmeth grinned in exhilaration, his wings flaring wide above him. Sunlight gleamed off brilliant golden scales, only mildly scuffed by his spar with the sapphire dragon before him. Daganth, his name was - another recruit whose talents closely matched...
The Conquest: Part One
A black, oily sludge crept slowly along the vents. It was a symbiote that named itself Conquest, though that name was not to be uttered aloud until it had properly formed a bond with its first host; it was tradition on the planet it was born on. Those...
Pendant of the Wolf
Eager eyes and hands snatched the pendant from the hooded figure. The pendant glowed softly as it made contact with Alon's fur. Even that simple touch was enough for the wolf to feel a shudder as the magic tingled and began to spread through his body -...
