HTN 6-13 A curious goblin

Umtha sat on her throne, looking through the interface at the state of her goblin stronghold. Thus far, she had accomplished much, building as strong a fortress as she could. It would hold out against direct physical threats, but it was weak to ma...

DKP 8-29 Clouded Judgement.

Sarah's hand trembled as she reached for the door, pausing to reconsider. The house wasn't quite right, with many of the finer details missing. The windows were the wrong size or in the wrong places, and out of habit, she willed these into correct...

HTN 6-12 Howl from the grave

Heather felt her heart race as the ground shook under the weight of the monstrosity. She was momentarily stunned by the creature's appearance, but now she had to act. The others scattered as Frank ran forward to meet the charge, but Heather chose ...

DKP 8-28 Honor without love?

Sarah pulled her massive wings tight as the rain fell on the war camp. She was once again in her dragon form just in case there was an attack by a rival dragon. They were now far to the north, at the base of the mountains that separated the empire...

HTN 6-11 The necrofidiax

They ran for the bridge, determined to get into a wider space to deal with whatever had been triggered. The screeching and howls echoed down the tunnel as they raced over the dangerous expanse. Frank yelled for them to go as quickly, or whatever w...

DKP 8-27

Ayawa paced irritably as Lilly looked on in surprise. She didn't understand why the woman was so upset about Thayle's egg, which made Ayawa angrier. Again, it went back to her belief that humans and dragons shouldn't mix because it was a path to a...

HTN 6-10 A fun diversion

Heather stared at the painting, amazed it had been made so quickly. It was nearly as tall as she was and showed the pocket of land between the mountain in amazing detail. Her mother had it commissioned immediately after Heather's request, and now ...

DKP 8-26 Dragons of another blood

Gersius knelt over the egg that contained his child, marveling over the miracle that had occurred. He now had two children encased in eggs waiting to be born. Thayle was confused over the idea that even though she had passed the egg, the child sti...

HTN 6-9 The king and his queens (Edited)

Heather and Frank prepared for the attack as the goblin woman ran up the steps. She threw herself into Heather's arms, gleefully hugging her firmly. Heather gave her a slight hug back and breathed a sigh of relief when Umtha jumped from her to Fra...

HTN 6-8 Two cities and a dream

Heather was quick to steal some cookies from the magic fridge and dash out of the kitchen before Quinny saw her. She hurried down the hall and back into her room, where Webster was snoring softly on the bed. She sat before the mirror and shoved a ...

DKP 8-25 Why are you in pain?

Gersius carried Thayle through the meeting tent, hurrying her past Mingfe and Shadros. He took her into the private bedroom and gently set her on the couch as she reached up with a weak hand.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t realize,” Thayle b...

HTN 6-7 A house in the woods

Heather looked in the mirror to see the woman she had always been looking back. There were no horns, red hair, or slitted eyes to mark her as anything but a normal human woman. She tossed her blond hair that was perhaps a hint yellow and studied h...

DKP 8-24 A blessed mistake

Gersius sat on Lilly's back as the two looked north, wondering if the enemy was coming. Days had passed, and the army was swelling, growing into a reasonable fighting force. He now had almost fifty thousand soldiers under arms, but far too many of...

HTN 6-6 Home at last

Sunlight filtered into the hall through great windows that soared upward for nearly ten meters. Green plants grew in ornate vases placed in niches along the pillared wall. It was a peaceful setting for a stressful moment as Heather and Frank watch...

DKP 8-23 Ghosts of the past

Sarah looked into the eyes of her husband and saw nothing but compassion. It was funny how that expression touched her heart, especially considering how new the emotion was. She took a deep breath and leaned into his arms, accepting the embrace th...

HTN 6-5 A lot to consider

Two full days were spent combing through the side rooms and other spaces that made up the vast goblin complex. Legeis ran wild, collecting rare parts and items that he said would be useful for future projects. There were workrooms all over a compl...

DKP 8-22 walking in the mist

They sat beside a low fire that burned a bundle of Ayawa's incense. It produced a fragrant smoke that drifted lazily on the wind. It was a quiet place, perfect for the task at hand, but it wasn't working out the way they had planned.

“I kn...

HTN 6-4 Not me

The thump of Legeis's armor echoed through the trees as he ran as fast as his armor would carry him. Blackbast sat on the back, her tail twitching in irritation as they hurried away, hours from the battle. Frank and Umtha were in the magic room, w...

DKP 8-21 healing the past

Gersius held Sarah in his arms as they sat in the meeting tent. Around them, a war camp was being erected as his army positioned itself between Calathen and the border keeps. They flew out the very same day Rose left, with a grieving Sarah crying ...

HTN 6-3 Unexpected results

They were picking their way into the foothills of the northern mountains, carefully following a broken trail. It had been two days since the revelations of Umtha and her place in the events surrounding Heather. They had debated the facts for hours...

The updates will be delayed a few days.

I have suffered a catastrophic failure that I never believed could happen. My primary storage drive just up and stopped responding. No errors, no warning, no nothing. I have a background in computer IT so I started all the usual tests and the driv...

HTN 6-2 You don't remember

The three women stared in unison as Umtha looked down, unable to hold their gaze. She dragged a bare foot across the polished floor, waiting for some kind of response.

“It can’t be,” Breanne said as she dared to step closer.

“H...

DKP 8-14 missed post.

Well this proves how few readers this story has. I missed an entire chapter and nobody said a thing. Oh well. 

Gersius and Thayle listened to Sarah as she informed them of her discovery. It was a shocking moment causing him t...

DKP 8-20 A flower to forget me

Sarah and Rose went into the house, leaving the three to discuss their concerns in private. Gersius looked at Lilly and Thayle with a sense of worry as he began to have doubts.

“I am very concerned about what we are doing,” Gersius said ...

HTN 6-1 A new face.

Heather opened her eyes to find herself still in her husband's arms. She smiled to think of Frank as her spouse and was reminded of how terrified she was when Gwen first proposed it. Now she realized that her mother knew they were a good pairing a...

DKP 8-19 A family?

Rose walked with her head down, struggling to grasp what her mother had said. Nothing made sense in this mad dream, and it was starting to make her doubt her beliefs. Surely Solesta had been their champion, trying to save dragon kind from the corr...

HTN 5-68 I Do

The sun rose in its usual rapid way, going from dark to early dawn in seconds. Heather was awake to greet it, standing on the balcony and looking over all she and her friends had built. Soon there would be more as Roric and his family had come to ...

DKP 8-18 What do you believe?

Gersius sat at the head of the table as Sarah served a meal that left the kitchen awash in a medley of scents that made it impossible not to be hungry. One by one, she set the plates before her family, each plate containing a well-seasoned fish, a...

HTN 5-67 Rise to your station

Heather had never seen Blackbast so nervous as the cat woman's tail twitched from side to side. Roric and crew had gone far into the swamps and hills, searching out the land that could potentially be their home. They returned with the girls full o...

DKP 8-17 to bless a rose

Sarah heard the door slam and looked into the sitting roomto see Gesius come in the front door. His aura was filled with concern, and she knew instantly it had to do with Rose.

“Is she alright?” Sarah asked while trying not to worry.
