The biting wind was relentless, bitter and cold as it assailed the lone being. Every wound, every seam, stung as the scattered debris and air itself made contact, as if she was being torn further apart with each passing moment that she was exposed to the elements.
But, that was not the most unsettling thing about the wind by far. The being's ears were folded downward, trying to avoid what was carried on it as best she could.
Yes, the pebbles and dust were unpleasant, and the occasional fragments of bone and shards of metal could be sharp and surprisingly hard to deal with but, those could be avoided somewhat if she was cautious and st

Defeat & Howls
A story by Awaki Salonika (c) 2013
The last moment, as if by miracle, Slayer ducked, avoiding to be cut in three. Only his helmet was slightly hit, just to be removed from his head. His face was now completely exposed to the cold and the wind. His long silver hair was being blown away as the strong wind blew now more intensively. The removal of his helmet also revealed his pointy ears: Slayer was an elf.
"Keh, you're an elf?" Seindura laughed at him "What a pitiful race, even more miserable than humans!"
"Took you long enough to figure it out, empty-headed freak." he mocked the dragon.
"Shut up!" Seindura yelled at him, and Slayer started charging at him with his lance.
The assault, however, failed as the dragon dodged the attack. Slayer immediately turned around to defend himself as Seindura's claws were heading towards him.In cost of relatively weak armory, the fears

Sita slowly opened her eyes and yawned generously. But she didn't moved an inch, as she was actually feeling pretty good in her own position. When did she felt asleep ? She just remembered having that huge laughing crisis - and slightly blushed when she remembered she was the one that caused it - and after that... Anyway, even if it wasn't willed that nap sure did her good. Sita was feeling completely rested now, for the first time since she was a dragon. She just let a small moan of pleasure and stood like she was, waiting for the others to wake up.
And the one after the others, the three other dragons woke up, realizing that the

“What?” The Scrafty purred as he leaned closer to her. “Am I a dissssstraction?” His tongue flicked at her as he adjusted his pants, which had slipped down his frame, just barely clinging to his right hip. He was moments away from being without pants for the fifth time today, and she knew from experience that he had neglected to wear underwear today.
The Whimsicott rolled her eyes. “As if, I just don’t need my boss coming back here and seeing you naked.”
Her roommate was both infuriating and intriguing. Granted she hadn’t invited him to move in with her, he had just shown up and dumped all his stuff in her spare room. More often than not he wrecked her house and left his sexy magazines everywhere. Not only that, but he lounged around in his birthda

"Fuck you, Kai!" Time slowed down as the frying pan full of boiling oil flew towards my face. I had yet to experience serious injury since the attack and I really was not ready to feel the pain that awaited me right then. I tried to move but my actions were to in vain. I put my arms in front of my face and felt the oil sizzle on my skin making it boil and blister. The actual pan didn't leave any impression on me but the pain from the oil made me question the pain from Matt's bite.
"What is wrong with you?!" I shouted with a deadly glare as my body healed. The burning wouldn't go away. It just grew more and more intense. The oil only took a f

What does it mean to be a furry?
Why are people furry?
What does "furry" mean?
Do you remember being a kid? A young one? If you were an average kid, puppies and kittens were cute, you spoke before thinking, you liked to play around, and everything soft was amazing. Admit it, you had a teddy bear and/or a blanket that you loved. Why? Because, the comfort of softness and all things cuddly was a wonder and, well, a comfort. What if you never had to let that enchanting comfort go?
So, furries are practicers of bestiality and zoofilia, right?
Wrong. Furries are not too different from you. Let me tell you something t

I never meant to kill her
Please forgive me, my mirror,
The time is drawing nearer
Please forgive me, my mirror,
I'll never end up with her
Please forgive me, my mirror,
I look so gaunt, and thinner
And sometimes soon I know the sinner
Stuck within will break the surface
Know the serpent crawling through me
Will work its way out through the surface
Know the demon stuck within us
Will burn its way out through the surface
Please forgive me, my mirror,
I fought in battles lost in time
Please forgive me, my mirror
I sought a partner for my crime
Please forgive me, my mirror

the night was dull but the moon was so bright

the sun was out but the day didn't feel right
now and forever
we'll be friends together
even though we've never
seen each others' faces,
but that's what happens when we're in different places
if location was different
then so would our bond be

you still manage to complete me

shadows rush over me as my pace quickens.
Back in this town, in this city, this place,
the windows blur by with no hint of a face.
The sea I can see at the end of the beach.
It's far off and grey and it's just out of reach.
The cars and the taxis and buses drive past,
as noisy and loudly as gods, they drive fast.
The past is behind me as future begins,
I leap into flight, from my back burst my wings.
past trees and houses and terraces small,
I fly through the world, through my eyes I see all.
The sea stretches out below me, it's so deep.
I question myself, surely I'm still aslee

Even my darkness knows it,
It leaves me alone in despair

The one thing I love about the rain
Nobody can see me cry

Ill wait for you to come
Ill try to wait a little longer
And pray for your return
Ive waited in this dampness
To long in my sorrow
I love you, but I dont know if you love me anymore
Im going to walk away,
But it hurts so much with every step
My icy heart is broken

When I have taken no attack
A skirmish or two
If that
For a prolonged time
Then
A hundred
All at once
No time to act
No time to stand
I have fallen to pieces
With no help by my side
How is it that I do not walk alone
Nor do I fight without a partner
That when I am hurt deepest
And with no armor
I am with no backup
No friend to help me up
Two is better than one
One alone will fall but two can defend themselves
A strand of three is not quickly broken
This is more cutting then the lies of my friends (Where is my defense, come please!)
More lashing than the gossip that is my sch

With Glitter flying everywhere, glowsticks in the air we dance the night away
Happiness is everywhere

Escape the blade
Escape a bloody embrace

Infamy
Public enemies number one
Dance to the violence
Praise the vengeance
One more dead
Another one destined to live
There is no way to survive this
Just survive this
Dying in the dark
Just survive this
We won't die
Escape the shells,
escape the bloody embrace,
kill or be killed
No one runs scared
We either survive

No one runs without a limp

She held her sobs in, so no one would hear. Covering her face in her comforter, she muffled the strangled noises erupting from her throat.
"Oh GGod," she cried in a tiny strained voice, unable to find the words to verbalize her pain. "God, hold me please," She closed her eyes and knew His arms embraced her. Her sobs slowly subsided, resurfacing ever so often, but calming again.
