I usually live in peace at my temple. I grant my blessing to the poor mortals who come to me and lay their offerings before me. I have watched from afar as the world has gone by, but I am not bothered. I prefer my solitude and keep, it is better than the life I knew when I was young.
I was born from the union of a god and a mortal woman. My mother was a bright and fiery artist who attracted my deity father with her passion and t...

“I don’t understand why she must be so cruel to me!” He sighs dramatically. “I gave her a home! A life! I gave her everything.”
I roll my eyes, but continue to comfort him. Once he’s calmed down and food is served, he’ll be back to his usual, chipper self.
“You know what would be fun, right now, with everyone here?” Muna says as he nuzzles to my neck.

2019-03-01 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter all these years, I have come to realize that death is always following me. I know death is with everybody, but for me, it always feels like death is walking beside me, watching me, and waiting for that moment I feel safest. It then comes out, showing me its face before it goes screaming back into the shadows beside me.
My mother and father, my children, my sister, even my husband, have all been affected by how death follow...

“Does he seem familiar?” Westley asks quietly.
I nod. “I just don’t know how.”
“Ignore it,” he tells me. “Because you don’t.” He then stands up. “Do you want me to walk you home or would you like to stay the night?”
“I can make it home,” I say and stand up. “I’ll come get Mari in the morning.”
There is a walkway between our two homes, a small covered path that Westley and Lie...
2019-02-28 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe last few months have been a whirlwind. Not only was there a wedding coming, but then there was the Battle on Berkset and the release of the slaves held captive there. Nadeem has announced his plans to abdicate the throne after Emmeline and Ishmael’s wedding so that the couple could take over and Emmeline would rule as queen.
My sister Ismay has been working with Queen Mythri, who has offered to host the wedding now that Cu...
2019-02-28 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostI jump up from my bed to see Valery parting the curtains of my chambers. He steps inside and chuckles. “How luxurious.”
I throw a pillow at him and he catches it. “Get out!” I shout.
Valery chuckles. “I was just a little curious, lovey.” He walks in. “I didn’t interrupt anything, did I?”
“Get out! This is my space! Go on back to yours,” I glare at him.
Valery is quiet and moans softly. “Just looking.”
I throw another pillow at him and he...
2019-02-27 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe service had been recommended to me by my therapist. Which in itself seems like such a strange thing to say. Ever since the accident, or well, last accident, I’ve been receding in my shell. So much that the only things I seem to do are hide in my apartment and talk to my therapist.
Going outside, I feel like I have a huge target painted on me, much like port wine birthmark on my face. Ever since I was a k...

I remove her hand from me. “He is injured. I doubt he would come here unless he had to. I will see he gets well and after that, I will send him away.”
“You trust like that?” Maya scolds me.
“It is what I feel is right in my heart, Maya,” I tell her sternly. “Do not question me on this any further.”

Even if you were excited for the pups to come soon, it had been hard watching Freddie struggle. During the last month and a half he had to go on bed rest, which was like pulling teeth for him. Freddie...

“The caverns under the castle,” Dhaval replies. “The dungeons are on the other side of these walls,” he coughs.
I go back to his side, slipping my hand under the chain against his throat.
Nadeem growls. “I swear to the gods,” he lifts his head. “I thought I saw Wulsi before I was knocked out.”
“Wulsi?” I turn towards him.

I lower my eyes and set my fork down from eating. “I know him all too well,” I murmur. “Or well, not him, but someone very much like him.”
Charlee looks up to me and I smile sadly.

2019-02-22 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI watched my friend crumble, and for a moment I thought perhaps all was lost to us. I took charge, believing it was the right thing to do. I am King of the Rakshasa and all my life I have been training to take up the call of duty.
The siege on the south beach of Culuweth was in our control, but I feared for not much longer. Our defenses were weakening, and it felt like we were becoming outnumbered. Sanguis Rex had offensiv...

This goes against everything my company stands for. Please, let me make it up to you Ashley. I have my top two willing to take care of you today.”

My father had received word that a danger to the Nations was hiding there. Ever since then, my father has not been himself. The usually bright and excitable man I knew growing up had become so withdrawn he had refused to eat and was barely sleeping. He had always taken bad news hard, but nothing like this.

“She’d want you to get your bed rest,” Freddie argues with a yawn. He snuggles and presses his cheek to my chest. “We can call my mom.”
“I don’t wanna bother her again. She’s been doing so much for us.” I look at my phone again as the hour changes. A text message then pops up.
“I’m making a coffee run for myself, would you guys want anything?” The message from Ella is almost enough to make y...

A time in their lives when everything is so far out of reach, they can’t imagine what’s going to happen to them next. Back when I lived with my mother, I had never assumed I would ever leave the wood I grew up in.

The two of you had met shortly after you moved into Herathway Hollow where you both attended the same Transgender Support Group. It also turned out that Freddie, as well as a great percentage of the citizens of Hearthway Hollow, was a werewolf.
For Freddie, he had fallen in love with you at first sight. It didn’t take long for you to fall for him either. He was handsome and charming and had stolen your heart right away...

As much as I love my home and the bright sunlight and warm colors, the beauty of the north has always stuck with me. That and Princess Mila.

“You can’t! Are you crazy?” Nicolai snaps.

Sandy keens and tucks herself under the furs and she starts to calm down. I grumble and stand up, setting my feet in water.

“He wouldn’t listen to our demands, and he seems none too worried about that thought of war. In fact-” he says with a burdened heart, “I think it is what he was looking for.”
Dhaval looks to me. “Do you think your father will take the news well?”

I stood before his doors and gently rapped my knuckles on the frame. The doors open on their own and I gasped in fear.

Usually, the Orcs will try and get to know their human before the Reaping, that way they aren’t strangers at the end of the day. Gorlak, on the other hand, seemed to have just chosen me at random. He plucked me up and carried me away.

I chuckle. “Well, I’ll be twenty-eight then,” I say. “Won’t people talk?”
“They’ll simply think the Rakshasa King has come to bend his knee to the Czarina of the North.” Mila smiles brightly then. “That’s all.”
I chuckle and nod. “Ok then. That settles it.”
