Matthew Williams, the personification of Canada, gave a soft groan as he pinched his forehead in...

A close call for sure, Rafael could feel his heart slowly returning to its normal pace as he breathes deeply, trying to make it stop from beating against his sternum. His hands clutch Breakdown's steering tightly, reassuring that his was safe again.. Not a few moments ago did Rafael literally sit in Optimus's broad, flat servo. And he had lived! But he shouldn't have. Optimus should have squished him without a second thought. Instead, he was picked up and gently cradled by the Autobot's notorious leader. Rafael's eyes wonder to the side mirror finding nothing behind them.“Are you okay, Raf?” Breakdown asks.“Shaken,” Raf answers, “But... I'...

”But sir, why there?! It’s full of criminals!”“No, Eren. There’s someone down there who can help us push back the Titans even more.”“Who, sir?”“Her name I’m not sure, but what I do know is that’s she’s an outcast, but has a remarkable power.”“I hope you’re right, Commander Erwin.” Many Years Earlier The Underground City. The Black Market. Both names cover the broad understanding of what goes on down here. Prostitutes, Pimps and Brothels. Drug Dealers, Murderers, Thugs, Gangs, Rapists, you name it. They were there. The ‘Threats To Society’ they were called. Because they couldn’t make a living for themselves. But, other people live down her...

Allissa emerged from the cabin into gloriously morning. The sun just rising over the tangled canopy of the forest Zairn Theliel filtered through the green and glowing leaves, and through flowers of late summer which were opening to gratefully receive its life bringing rays, to release their gifts of nectar, pollen and beauty to the inhabitants of the forest, great and small.
