Got a little surprise for you true believers. I've been hunting through deviant art and looking for character models that resemble how I see the characters (in my crazy mind anyway). These are premade but if you all think they look decent, I'm going to try and see if the artist (or a different artist) can turn them into some ...
2024-01-22 05:14:52 +0000 UTC View PostMy lungs burned with exertion as I wheezed in the hot desert air.
That’s what the place was, I decided.
A damn desert.
Not that it was all sand dunes and shit, but the flat terrain and minimal vegetation gave the impression that this place didn’t see a lot of precipitation. What trees we did pass, were e...

I was on an alien world, with alien monsters attacking a crowd full of people and a family I had sworn to protect. The Demon wanted to let it all hang out and just sink its teeth into the fresh of unfamiliar prey, but the Struggler knew there were other priorities.
“Two minutes!”
The shout of warning came from Jakra who was standing in the center aisleway of the jostling prison skiff as if descended rapidly from orbit. I was seated alongside my fellow Prisoner Tributes in chairs equipped with shackles for the ankles and arms.
If this thing decided to crash, we’d all be...
2024-01-14 19:07:25 +0000 UTC View PostTrue to his word, Jakra waited 24 hours before coming to collect me from my cell and then escorting me down to the lower hold. As I passed through the various levels of the ship, I sensed I had become a mini celebrity of sorts.
The name Iron Bull was whispered with sideward glances, and along with the whispers came snip...

2024-01-05 11:52:39 +0000 UTC View PostMy rapid footfalls hammered against the wooden planks of the bridge as I poured on the Frenzy. Pedestrians pressed themselves against the sides of the rails as they sensed me coming, letting out gasps of shock as I sprinted by at top speed. As I passed the midpoint of the bridge, I saw evidence of Shen Liu’s own passing wit...

I wished I hadn’t even read the letter now.

2023-12-19 11:31:06 +0000 UTC View PostI tugged on the too tight uniform as I followed the guard—whose name I learned was Jakra—through the narrow metal corridors that made up the internals of the giant pyramid. If I’d been hoping for a scenic trip through space, I would have been sorely disappointed. There wasn’t so much as a porthole in sight for what I ...
2023-12-19 01:38:27 +0000 UTC View Post“He declined?”
Princess Lunalah felt her insides heat with a mixture of embarrassment and rage as Ling Wei finished giving her report before her. The walls of her private office seemed to close in on her as the situation slipped from her control.
But how? Why?
“What do you mean, he declined?...

Already I could see the brilliance of the imperial city quickly disappearing below a blanket of low-lying clouds as the vessel soared skywards, its body maintaining completely horizontal as it rose vertically. Oddly, I didn’t feel much G-force from the rapid ascent...

Fia had much the same reaction, staring deadpan at her three older cousins as they grinned like idiots. And idiots they were, as far as I could remember.
What the hell was the Warden thinking?
I hid my reaction with [Indiffere...

It beat the chest of its baboon-like body in a challenge and my Flame stirred slowly in response.

First, thanks to you all again for your love and support of my work. Your contributions truly make it possible for me to afford to be a self-published author. That said, I'm gearing up for the full edit of book 2, but will still be producing in the background.
I was originally planning to stockpile book t...

We’d gone over our plan a few minutes earlier and now we confidently approached the Imperial Guard on duty. Or at least I did. Kelsey was still fidget nervously, or maybe she was just itchy from the mud I’d just slapped all over her face and clothes.
