Silverwing Dawning Day Chapter 31
We breathed as Elvira huffed and walked towards the cabinet. She opened the door and grab out the small cauldron while she mumbles herself as she rolled the cauldron until it's in the fireplace. "That's the last straw of a demon coming in my house and if one comes in one more time I'll clip its wings off and feed them to the crocodiles for lunch. Or maybe better I'll cut its head and let watch its own body getting eaten before I tossed it." I swallowed a little of her crankiness and tough. I'm putting on the list of never wake up the monkey early while in the jungle from now on. I thought as we watch her climbing up the sink with the buc...

Revelations and Wonders
I walked slowly through the wilderness just beyond my home in Riding Mountain. The sun was just starting to rise over the distant fields, turning the sky a fiery red-yellow-pink. I came to the top of a small hill, overlooking the seemingly endless valley below, through which a small, slow-flowing pure-water river ran to end at a lake, sparkling in the light of the rising sun. I was suddenly overcome with emotion at the truth of what had happened: My life, the only one I had ever known, had been destroyed! It was gone forever, and the painful memory of when my family had been killed at the hands of Marc's army was all that remained!! I had ...

Metropolis AU history
History of Metropolis ---Pre-FoundingIn 1542, an Italian explorer named Vincenzo Gnanatti, in the employ of the Dutch, is the first man to explore and map out the Upper Peninsula where Metropolis will be located. He took great care to map out the islands and the surrounding lands and marked in it his notes as a suitable location for a settlement. Charles V, Lord of the Netherlands, agreed. Initially, he made plans to send a group of colonists to establish a Dutch presence in the New World, but this never went beyond planning stages. Over ninety years later, Prince Frederick Henry of the Netherlands rediscovered these plans and promptly car...

Gamma World: Tempus Fugitive: Chapter 8
CHAPTER 8 With the omega city behind them and the open road stretching ahead, Cera was able to sit back and enjoy the journey. It was early summer and the scenery was actually quite pleasant. The land consisted of low, gently rolling hills covered with patchy forest of pine and assorted deciduous trees. The old highway cut through it in a straight line from east to west. Some of the low hills had exposed sections of rock, showing where the land had been blasted and bulldozed in the distant past to clear the way for the road.
About twenty kilometres down the road from the first bridge they encountered, they crossed another that was even...

First Day Excitement [RP]
Heather folded her arms as she waited for her escort for the day. She was put with someone named Cal, but she didn't quite know who he or maybe even she was. Being new wasn't easy, to many questions, to little exploration. Today she was hoping for some field work, maybe someone to show her the different sections that Rangers protected. Somethings were a given, having experience in being a guard was a plus for her, but it's still all new to her. She was taller than the majority of the people around her, making it easy to see everyone, yet she didn't know who she was trying to find so she just stood there, hoping this Cal person knew who she...
Part 1: Life and Death Many often spoke of the price of life. Philosophers in nearly every civilization had dedicated their entire lives to speculating on it. One race had even attempted to build a computer the size of a city in an attempt to quantify it. But whatever the price of life was, one thing was sure: It was steep.It was sometimes easy to forget just how precious life could be after gaining immortality and leading a life of warfare. The Maximal who called himself Gunslinger was not only gaining a lesson in perspective, but economics. Security work paid dirt, even in the slums where guards were paid relatively well. Nevertheless, h...

The Epistemologist's Nightmare pt.I
Not for the first time, I find myself alone in the dark with a torch. I scan the torchbeam left to right, right to left, and wander deeper into the blackness, hoping to find an end to it. This place, once almost homely, now has all the familiarity of a mystery. To understand how I have come to be in this place I must trace the steps that led here one-by-one, which undoubtedly will be an enterprise of great magnitude since the consistency of memory I once took as a given is all but destroyed. Recent events have brought the cold shock of realising that whilst certainty is invisible and solid, doubt is a fantastically present ocean in whi...

The Serengeti, central Tanzania.Garth knew how to hunt pelorovis. Were they big? Sure. Were they dangerous? Oh, most definitely. But they weren’t invincible. Nothing on this world or on any other world was invincible. With the right strategy, the wily young Skrag knew, any creature could be bested.Garth was carrying out one such strategy now as he crept on all fours through the waving grasses of the great savanna he called home, to either side of him three other Skrag of his clan, slowly inching their way towards a dusty black herd, its countless humped backs like islands in a sea of shimmering gold, its avian stewards riding high above th...
