Angel in the Alleys: Chapter 2

Gracidea in Bloom
The water lapped gently along the sandy shores of Heonema Island. It was a sound Chris had come to enjoy over the last few months. Being a trainer had gotten rather stressful ever since he beat the Pokemon League. The notoriety that it brought had made...
The Gate of Qetesh (pt. 2)
Dominick suddenly jerked upwards as feeling returned to his body. His heart felt like it was going to pound out of his chest, his breathing heavy and labored. He blinked a few times as he looked up at the clock hanging above the television, seeing that...
