2019-06-17 14:23:48 +0000 UTC View PostA bed is brought for me later that evening along with a meager dinner and water. I give most of my food to Emmeline, who needs it for her baby. I am happy to sup on water and crusts as long as she is protected.
I am there several days before anyone comes to the cell beside the Drow guarding us. The door opens and I am pulled out. I stand before a Drow who looks taller and stronger than any of the others I have seen. She looks like she has seen better days. Her head is bandaged, ma...
2019-06-14 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI do so love Rakshasa Country, even when I was little I admired the spirited warriors and the color garb they wore. I admired how the Rakshasa didn't shy away from a dull palette like many of my people did. I grew up wearing muted hues of grey and blue to appease my family. House Brachuss was just one of several muted houses within the Peninsula.
When I was young I wished for the grand, high adventures I read about. The Ra...
2019-06-14 19:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI look over her bookshelves, seeing languages from every corner of the earth. Athena sits down on her bed and takes a book from under her pillow.
“What’s that?” I ask her.
“It was my mom’s.” She clutches it close.
I go and sit down beside Athena. “It must be something very important then.” I smile at her. “Can I see it? Or am I not allowed?”
“Are you a princess?” Athena asks me. “Because you can see it if you are.”
“My grandmother ca...
2019-06-13 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Uncle Raoul,” a tiny voice chirps at me.
I look down, seeing Fei, my cousin’s little girl, toddle into the room carrying a book. “What’s this now? You should be in bed, little one.” I pick her up from the ground and place her in my lap. She’s so light, she feels li...
2019-06-13 19:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostA couple of years ago, I started volunteering at the local library. Every Saturday I come in to read to the kids some of my favorite books, or even some the library suggests. I started doing it when my job became too humdrum. I worked the call center at a bank, and sometimes the work got to me. I started visiting the library every day before work to sniff books and find something I could enjoy once I got home.
I had found out th...
2019-06-12 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Hold still, Emory, hold still.” Dhaval grips hard on my hand. He holds his other hand over my arm and a numbness begins to flow from my fingertips and up to my shoulder. “That’s it. Keep still.”
“Dhaval, what’s happening?” I whimper.
“Almost,” Dhaval’s hand over my arm begins to tense and twitch. His fingers curl as he forces them to stay straight. He then lets go of me and falls to the ground.
I clutch my arm to my chest, as the fingertips begin...
2019-06-11 21:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't written Rovil in so long, but here are parts one and two for you to catch up.
I wake up from a dream, having heard Abadon’s voice in the back of my mind I knew it was time to rise for the day. I then hear ...
2019-06-11 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI see a letter sitting on the table, one with the Brachuss seal on the back. “Did he give you this?” I ask.
“He did,” she stands up and goes over to the globe that serves as a mini bar. She starts to pour drinks for us. “But I don’t have the patience to hear what he says. Just because there is blood between us doesn’t mean it adds up to anything.”
I look it over and then back to my mom. “Are you sure you don’t want to read it?”
“Not right now....
2019-06-10 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been a while since I last wrote Ravi, but you can catch up with the first part here.
I have been working with Queen Mythri for some time now, she has paid for me to further my education in therapy and counseling, and we have worked together on quite a few projects. Mythri has recommended me to many of her friends and other kingdoms, as su...

I have all mail outs ready and stamped! This month's mail outs features art work from @chopshoppar @maxspite who have both done amazing renditions of my robot Booker, and @theforgess who has designed my newest logo!
2019-06-10 13:59:21 +0000 UTC View PostDr. Leeche's Clinic has been an absolute godsend for you. Discovering it and going through its services had not only saved you a heaping load of money, but it had saved you a lot of pain and suffering as well. Most birth controls didn't work for you, in fact there were a lot of them that you reacted negatively to. Thanks to Dr. Behr, you had finally found a birth control that worked for you.
You had two appoints each month that ...
2019-06-08 17:14:49 +0000 UTC View PostThere is a low murmur amongst all the lords. We discuss the matter and to my shock, they are all willing to go along with whatever Sanguis says. Of course they are, he already has them in his back pocket. He has bought all of us one way or another, and they plan to keep that comfort coming in strong. I am the only one who is hesitant.
“Stay for a moment, Lord Brachuss,” Sanguis says to me. “I want to discuss something with you.”
“Of course, I’d be a fool not to linger....
2019-06-07 20:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAges ago, when I was a kid, I had a very strange job. I was one of those kids gifted with magical abilities to fight off threats to the earth. Yeah, I had the whole magical transformation process and everything. But that was a long time ago, I grew up, threats to earth changed, and new kids came to take my place. Now these days, I live off the money I made as a magical kid. I’ve been going to school on and off, but for the most part I work as an advisor from time to time for the new crop of...
2019-06-07 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re so beautiful, it makes me want to forget.” I look up at him. “I am usually the charming one, but you have knocked the wind from my sails.”
Lulëzim chuckles. “Forgive me. I would hate to take that from you.”
I place my hand on his wrist. “It’s alright. I don’t mind it.”
The rain continues, but luckily, the storms start to subside. I enjoy my time with Lulëzim, each day, we get a little closer physically as well. I enjoy his company and his wit ...
2019-06-06 20:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostMy crew and I have been planning this mission for ages and we’re all on edge to get it started. The reason for it began long ago when I was much younger. I had joined on with Captain Tans when I was sixteen, she had been my hero for the longest time. I had always admired the work of the space pirates and their like, it was always something I wanted to be. Captain Tans took me under her wing and showed me everything she knew.
In two years time w...
2019-06-06 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“She’s here!” Gemma waves from the porch. “Ms. Aubrey! Over here!”
I walk up to the gate and Gemma let’s me in. She’s wearing a very cute, pink gingham dress and yellow rain boots. “Welcome!” She runs up to me and gives me a big hug.
“Thank you for having me, this is a treat for me. I rarely get home cooked food.” Gemma takes hold of my hand and leads me around the corner to where a table is set. The table cloth matches her little dress and she has candles li...
2019-06-05 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostViovrouh’s soldiers brought in the captured Czarina Mila early on morning. I had heard stories of the Czarina’s hot temper despite her cold kingdom. When they brought her in I could tell she was a simmering volcano ready to erupt at any moment, she was just waiting for the right one. Her eyes were visceral and sharp and she looked through me as if I were nothing.
“My girls told me she gave them quite the fight the entire w...
2019-06-05 19:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJuliet kisses me and places her hand on my cheek. “You’re far to sweet.”
“You keep feeding me your deserts.” I then press my lips to her ear. “And I’m going to eat yours all night long if I have to.”
Juliet puts her hand on my hip. “Rovil,” she giggles giddily.
“It’s my favorite treat,” I moan for her. “I’m going to make sure you know just how sexy you are.”
Juliet kisses me again then presses her forehead to mine. “We best stop now. I...
2019-06-04 21:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere were many reasons Sanguis placed me in Sothen, not just to repay me for all my years of service to him. It was also because it shared borders and territory with two very strong allies that Sanguis knew would join our ranks.
The first were the Minotaurs of Nordholm, a clan that still kept to the old ways of the Minotaur. They took women, used them to breed, and then kept the male young. They are powerful and strong and have...

2019-06-03 23:52:01 +0000 UTC View PostRavi smirks at me and I notice a new scar in his lip. “I’ve not been sleeping as of late, it’s horrible.” He kisses me again. “I keep daydreaming about you and get lost in them.”
I touch the scar on his lip before diving in for another kiss. “I have too.”
Ravi pushes me into the bed and hikes up my skirts. “Oh yeah?” He pants. “What have you been dreaming about?” He lifts my hips and tugs away my undergarments.
I giggle and bite my lip. “Lots of thi...
2019-06-03 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Devil’s Swift is a labyrinth. Years of being underwater and recreating itself has turned it into a monstrous entity of its own. Wandering around the halls and even the deck can get you lost. Von Malevance doesn’t keep me locked up like I expected. I have nowhere to go, so why keep me imprisoned was his logic. The Devil’s Swift sees that I don’t try anything funny. And even if I were to jump overboard, which sounds worse than death, there’s no way I even can. Somehow everything i...
2019-06-03 19:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostStarting probably in late June, I will be updating some things in the tiers. One thing that was suggested was I start doing character profiles. I want to know where I should start. What category of monsters should I do?
2019-06-01 18:37:34 +0000 UTC View PostOne day while we were on one of our patrol walks, I noticed that Mr. Gibbons house was finally getting moved into. Mr. Gibbons had died several months ago and his kids put it up on the market. I noticed that the furniture getting moved in had a sort of Addam’s Family edge to it. A lot of it was dark and jagged looked, antique with an edge of goth chic to it. I also noticed that the entire yard was being completely redone. It was pulled up, tilled, and new sheets of perfect grass were being ...
2019-05-31 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostMy family has owned and operated a Naval History museum for ages, only recently have we gotten government backing and grants. I worked ages trying to help renovate the place and help keep my grandfather’s memories intact. He had started the museum because of his and my grandmother’s passion for the ocean, which they had both grown up on.
My grandmother had told me stories of the sea ever since I was little, they were more fairy tales than anything. She told me about mermaids and wit...
2019-05-31 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Silence,” Lolki hisses at me. He raises one of his arms and the tip pointedly hovers over his mouth. The Dreczon speak telepathically, so his words are in my head. I hear afterthoughts and whispers behind his words, things he wanted to say or planned to say. It was a misty trail of disjointed words and phrases that faded from memory a moment later.
“I don’t plan on it,” I grumble at him. “I’m chained here because of you. So I am going to just say whatever the hell I...
2019-05-30 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostTo be quite frank, I’m not at all excited about this new job. I’ve come a long way from showing off the latest models at boat shows and posting as many images to defeat the algorithm on social media apps. I started modeling in order to help keep my Auntie’s burlesque theatre open. She’s been there for me and my mom since I was little. Now that she’s gotten older and has gotten sick, I wanted to pay back all the love and kindness she showed to a teenage mom an...
2019-05-30 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI’m going to be refreshing the tiers within the month (at least in time for July). And I want to know what else you would like to see! Having a new story a day is a lot, but what else could I be doing? Is there anything I could add to make my Patreon a better experience? Let me know!
2019-05-30 12:30:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe scrolls begin like most wars do, as the Drow were first approached in hopes of sharing the land. But of course, the Drow didn’t want to. It was theirs and there were scared shrines and alters for their gods that shouldn’t be disturbed. This angered the king at the time, a man called Harcourt. There were notes in the margins speaking of his ill temper and violent mood swings as well as having been jilted by Usinso, the Drow queen. It seemed the scholars who had transcribed t...
