Fittingly, the funeral was held on a rainy day. It seems that rain lends itself to such solemn occasions. The sound of the rain turns into a lament for the pain of the living, and the soaking rain provides a glimpse of the clammy chill of the grave.
Standing over the freshly dug grave, Michael Dane had no words, no thoughts, only feelings.
Feelings of rage. Feelings of pain. Feelings of love-- and an overwhelming thirst for revenge.
For thirty-eight years Michael's life had been-- interesting. From the day he was born, Michael had led a unique life.
Raised by his parents (Carson and Linda), he was brought up in a loving home with parents who adored him, but didn't smother him. They gave him the tools he would need to explore life, but gave no bias as to how those tools should be used.
Michael didn't realize the uniqueness of this situation until middle school, when those first relationships form, and you are let into other people's lives.
Michael was amazed at the indifference that most parents showed to their children, and more amazed at how few took the time to really know their children. He was further amazed at how truly unique his own situation was.
Michael had always been a solitary creature. Wiser than his years, he spent many a night counseling his uncle (seven years his senior) on the definitions of romance. He spent an equal amount of time with his uncles' love interests, explaining the complexities and meanings of men's seemingly odd behavior. Basically, he was guiding those around him as best he could, trying to help those that he loved.
Yet always, he was wondering where his destiny would take him.
Destiny, it was a word that haunted Michael his whole life, having an overriding feeling of destiny can lead to a wonderful life full of adventure and attainment, or it can lead to the life of a monster bending people 'till they break so you can attain your "destiny".
To have a destiny meant not having control, and control was something Michael had always had; be it control over his classmates, making sure that those he liked did well, or stayed out of trouble.
His parents he helped by keeping his true nature a secret.
He helped the stranger on the bus, by getting her to get off at the stop near the women's shelter, not the one near her home. Michael always knew the right thing to say at just the right time, to further his own needs, yes; but more often than not, he was helping another person find the missing choices that they were searching for.
Knowledge and Control, Destiny and Chaos. These were the things that kept Michael always questioning, questioning his place in the world, questioning what he was meant to do, questioning how he would ever find happiness.
As it turns out, happiness found him--twice.
The first time it was in ninth grade photography class. It started with a black Pony T-shirt.
Every Friday Anna would wear the black pony. Every Friday, Michael would be distracted by the tight fitting shirt, the luminous blue eyes and the beautiful blond hair.
Being shy but intelligent worked in Michael's favor. Anna was taken by his quiet demeanor, shy ways, and the thrill she got when their shoulders accidentally touched several times during every class.
On June 3rd 1983 they officially became Mike and Anna, sealing the deal with a date to see 'Return of the Jedi'.
That summer was one Michael would never forget. He would cherish it as one of the simplest times of his life. Anna was his friend, they had built up a trust that grew quickly and solidified their relationship. Both Michael and Anna were virgins, however this is where the similarities on sexuality ended.
Michael being ever the enquiring young man had spent the better part of the last 7 years reading and studying everything he could on the subject. From 'Penthouse' forum to 'The Joy of Sex', Michael was a true connoisseur at the ripe old age of 14 of all that was sexual. He had read the 'Kama Sutra', studied the very-- detailed views in 'Hustler', and had wondered about when he would have a chance to bring his considerable knowledge into practical use.
Anna was the answer to that question.
Raised in a loving but strict household Anna had no preconception about sex, either as a wondrous or an evil thing. This was because it was a subject both her parents did everything in their power to ignore.
This left Michael with a 'Tabula' to work with. Being who he was, he did not waste any space on the page.
In a period of three weeks Michael and Anna rounded the bases as it were, it was a whirlwind of passion, friendship and fun that got them to third base, at which time the whirlwind ended, the skies cleared and Michael and Anna decided that third base was a pretty good and safe place to be.
Truth be told it was Michael who stopped them at third base, having a pregnant girlfriend at 14 was not on his list of things desirable to experience. Anna was happy with his fingers and tongue, as he was with hers, the risks inherent with that slide into home base just did not balance with the gain.
So for the next 3 years Michael and Anna explored the first three bases to an extent that most would find overwhelming. 'The devil is in the details', and over those three years Michael learned the devils' ways well, much to Anna's delight and the envy of all of her friends.
Monogamy was, in Michael's opinion, the one true way to get the most out of a relationship, sexual and otherwise. A theme that would follow his relationships through out his life, was one of deep commitment, and of not letting people get close.
So throughout their sophomore and junior years Michael and Anna remained a stalwart figure of togetherness as their friends journeyed in and out of the relationships that mark most peoples teenage years.
Things changed the summer before their senior year.
Anna signed up for a 6-week exchange program in Colombia, a group of soon to be seniors would go down and stay with families who would send their children to live with them during the next school year.
Michael was not upset by this trip, Anna loved him. He was going to spend six weeks in Atlanta with his uncle. Everything was cool.
There were a few letters from Anna, she was having a good time. It was interesting living in another culture. Her Spanish was coming along well, and she was making some new friends.
Michael's summer passed quickly in Atlanta, with trips to Stone Mountain for the laser show and the scantily clad girls who always attended. He had late night walks talking about life, love and the future with his uncle, and lazy afternoons spent lounging in the pool. It was a good summer.
That changed on the evening in the high school parking lot when Anna stepped off the bus, the look in her eye told him something was wrong. The smirk on Derek Ray's face as he passed by Michael, gave him a feeling of dread. Dinner at Pizza Hut with Anna's parents was a strained affair, very polite but very odd.
The details came out in short bursts, walking around Anna's block, the humid Florida evening wrapping them in its sultry heat.
Anna had been very home sick when she got to Bogotá. Derek was staying with a family just next door and one thing lead to another.
Anna broke off at this point but Michael pressed her. 'The devil is in the details', after all.
There were nighttime visits with Anna and Derek rounding the bases, stopping at third-- just barely stopping, it seemed. There were talks of when they would get home, being together, dumping Michael. Then there was the last talk, the one where Anna told Derek she would never let him fuck her and Derek slapped Anna and called her a cock-tease.
It appeared that the world had turned upside down during our time in the mountain. A few quick looks outside revealed a number of things. The light from the mid-afternoon sun, which was on the west side of the mountain, revealed at least 20 Dragons in the sky over and around this side of the mountain from my point of view. There were probably more that I couldn’t see. They were in a multitude of colors. In the cove below, there were a large number of their followers, or as I realized now,...
Dragon's first flightOn my way to the airport to pick up Dragon, I'm sweating already, even though it's only 50 degrees outside. I arrive at the short term parking lot at the airport with my balls aching at the workout I'm sure they will get over the next 2 days. You see, Dragon and I have been KIK friends for over 2 years now and have been, how do I say it, very intimate with each other. We've both exchanged nude pics of ourselves to the other one and even had a couple of video calls,...
Tintaglia Maddy’s Dragon name, she is a Light Blue Dragon, the only Female in the last 4,000 years or so. The trio of young Wizards appeared outside of the building where Kennith had previously worked a few seconds after leaving the Ley Line Wizards building. They smiled on seeing the wards around the building. Joining hands, they cast a spell to crash not only all of the wards protecting the building, but in addition, all of the wards that those working there were monitoring or closing...
Dragon's Flight pt3Seeing Dragon laying there with her gaping pussy gets my juices flowing and I climb on top of her pushing her legs together. As I begin to slide my cock into her, I grab a handful of her hair and pull her head back toward me. My cock is rock hard as I ease into her pussy and I can feel her juices flowing along my shaft. Slowly I fuck her and with every stroke Dragon moans. I lean over to her right ear and whisper, "Are you enjoying yourself? I know that I am." All that...
A squirrel quietly munched an acorn. It looked up, and noticed a translucent figure approaching. "Boo" the ghost tried. The squirrel seemed unimpressed and casually moved on to another acorn. The ghost drifted lightly over the ground, back and forth, searching, blending with the early morning fog. Ahead loomed a building; perhaps this was the place it seeks. It was the Chapel. No help there for a ghost. "Nooooooo!" the ghost cried, hauntingly. "Why will no one help me?" "Perhaps,"...

Isaac stared at the tiny glass bottle that had hung undisturbed around his neck for so many years. He had never thought to open it. Not once. But now it and a family legend were his only chance of surviving the night. In his other hand was the tiny dart which had pierced his skin. The rest of his squad had died in the ambush - twelve good men and women, dead at the hands of the Dark Mage's nightmarish creatures! He had survived, somehow, with only the dart in his shoulder. He might as well have...

Sunday started out just like any other day lately. I woke up next to Ken warm and contented, after a great night’s sleep. We awoke a bit late today, as yesterday had been a very exciting and wearing day. Being made Dragon Queen and having all of those Dragons here had been different. We’d had to deal with the police and the reporters too. Being made Dragon Queen was not something that I was expecting. Things were all right until I started breakfast. The smell, on opening the first can of cat...
There were other meetings underway that evening in Atlanta. The Mayor was in a meeting with the City Council. The Police Chief and the Fire Chief were present. There were also representatives from the business community in attendance as well as those from the several Insurance Companies affected by the attack. All of them had no idea of what the Dragon was or what it had used during the chase and attack. They were sure, however, that Magic was involved, but had no way to prove it, as neither...
Those who had been watching saw Ralahur seem to explode into pieces of flesh as a noise of indescribable tone went rushing past them and then into the sky, leaving them in wonder. With the priest destroyed, his followers turned and ran. The men that remained were so disheartened they laid down their weapons and asked for quarter. The very few that remained willing to fight, mostly the wild men, were quickly dispatched. The prisoners were rounded up until the council decided their fate. The...

Ken and I plus our Familiars could now slip through that ward. I also pulled up the ward on my car before...
‘I could use the easy money...’ the young nineteen-year-old woman thought to herself, feeling how empty her coin purse was getting. She pulled the contract and made her way to the indicated point of contact, the village chief, to reserve it. … “Hmmm... Not to sound offensive or anything, but pretty strong warriors and the like tried taking on this contract and failed...” the Hestle village chief, Illari Kircland, expressed his doubt to the girl standing in his doorway. Val had...

There was a feeling of wrongness as he slowly fought his way to consciousness. He went to wipe the detritus of sleep from his eyes, and became aware of a problem. His hand was manacled up and away from his body. Moments after his fact made itself known, its implications percolated into his awareness, and alarm chased the remnants of sleep from...
Hunter followed her directions. He didn't pause to consider his actions. There was one and only one path and he was committed to it. He hadn't taken a girl driving since he was a teenager. What he was doing was contrary to all of his training as a hunter and he ditched it without thinking. Over and over they had made him practice continual analysis, pattern recognition, and tactical reassessment. Tactics require continual revision as new data emerges. Then she smiled at him and the thought...

Following a good breakfast for us and our Familiars, I started Ken on the First Book. He was surprised that he could now read it and understand it. I continued on Book 6, which appeared to be a lot like Book 3. Just when I thought that I was nearly finished with it, more pages would appear, even though the...
As much as it irritated Mirgan, it was close to the Spring Equinox before the main body of troops was set to leave. The day after he had arrived, Aldren sent trusted riders that could scout out into the countryside to find out just what was happening. These riders came back with information that was taken directly into the tower. Aldren heard all their reports and found that the troops of the king were indeed traveling further north, bringing the priests with them. Any resistance by the...

Chapter 1 The final soulful note of the bagpipe lingered in the air long after the piper’s breath had left the instrument. Its full rich tone reverberated off the ancient stone monoliths, wrapping those few in attendance within its comforting and sorrowful embrace. A light rain swirled in the air, blown by the cool wind that gently caressed the emerald green plain. No one noticed the cool clammy feel of the morning. It could not compete with cloaking sorrow that enveloped those gathered to...

I had just gotten off of an Internet chat with Joe and Dragon where Dragon had told me her idea of opening a kinky hotel. I made a mention of making it kind of like a FWB&B.

When Aldren returned to their quarters, he found Ameni awake and waiting for him. Rather than explain it all to her then, he told her the bare basics of what he found out. What he didn't say was that it could mean his life. She accepted his explanation and helped him get undressed for bed. They held each other for a while, just enjoying the closeness of the other. Eventually, their hands began to roam over each other's bodies and their passions started to rise. Aldren moved between...
Aldren awoke just after the sun had started down the west wall of the canyon. Ameni was getting dressed quietly in order to let him sleep. He rose up on his elbow and greeted her. She came to the bed and gave him a kiss, telling him to take his time getting up. He considered doing so until he felt hunger pains in his belly triggered by the smell of breakfast being cooked. When he arose, he felt a difference in his body. A feeling that his limbs were lighter yet stronger than they had been. He...

Hunter checked the GPS coordinates again. The tag hadn't moved in over three hours, which meant it had settled into a safe place, it's nest probably. His mood was strange however. Although he had hunted more than ten times in foreign cultures, everything felt different this time. He wasn't after a Child but its mother. He also wasn't a lone operative. He had Katie with him and a second line of defense behind them. His heart told him to tuck Katie away in a safe hideout, but his instincts...
Aldren had Mirgan sit next to him at the table. As soon as the others had taken their places, he got their attention. "Friends, we were trying to decide what to do about the siege against the dwarf kingdom. One of my younger captains brought to my attention a plan of action that I find might suit our purpose. Mirgan, will you give us your thoughts." He then motioned for Mirgan to stand and speak. Mirgan started to speak. While he had been present for the entire conference, he had spent...
Blood was pooling in Nicholas’ palm, slowly running in rivulets down his wrist and across the wooden tabletop. He sat in an excellent reproduction of a Louis XXI chair while the elegant period table was slowly stained crimson. Peter Styverson’s lifeless body lay at his feet. His chest rendered open with a fist-sized hole just under the sternum, his heart dropped haphazardly on the floor before his open, sightless eyes. Once again Michael had slipped through Nicholas’ fingers, once again a...
The dappled afternoon light was distinctive outside the car window as Valerie drove down the tree-shrouded lane towards Nogardshire. The light, she noticed it as it was diffuse, not the gray light of the so often leaden sky. This light glowed with the luminous texture of a pearl caught by the sunlight. Michael Dane, the name danced across her thoughts, never far from the surface, never far from her own growing desire. Looking up at the sky, that ethereal glow, Michael came to the forefront...
Valerie screamed as Michael swerved the car into the right hand lane, dropping into third gear and accelerating hard he watched the headlights of the Mercedes fade somewhat in the rear view mirror.

The bullet meant for the driver side window smashed more or less harmlessly into the rear taillight. Michael moved through traffic smoothly, luckily the flow of...

Aldren's concentration was broken as he heard a scream coming from above and behind him. Before he could react, he felt something hit him in the back, knocking him from the saddle and sending him sprawling on the trail. He felt a severe burning sensation as the creature's claws dug deep into his back, snapping the chain mail links. He tried to roll away to escape and managed to stagger upright, but the creature sank its talons into his calf, tripping him back to the ground. Ameni pulled...
When the horse that Peryn had been using returned to the stable without him, a party of seven men was sent out to find out what happened to him. Bronas was the first to spot where he had fallen, but all that remained in the trampled dirt and grass were hoof prints, bloodstains, and some prints that Bronas could not identify. When the rest of his companions arrived at the spot, they were just as puzzled. Searching around, they found the tracks leading off into the woods. They were like the...
The next morning passed in a whirlwind of activity, partly because Alfred stepped on the grounds at the same time as Dr. Rootstein arrived for work. I knew when I returned from the pub that Alfred would be caught. The hospital ward was small and an empty bed would be noticed. I also knew Alfred didn’t care, and I couldn’t blame him for sleeping in his wife’s cottage. “Perhaps my rebellious nature rubbed off on him,” I had thought. The ward’s night nurses had checked with me when he wasn’t in...

Only a few had ever managed to conquer this mountain. Hundreds had died trying to reach this peak. But the mountain rarely revealed its secrets. Again, and again the bodies of expeditions that had failed on the way were found. Although the mountain was the most famous mountain on the planet, nobody knew its true secret....

With a start, I woke up on an unknown floor. I went to wipe my eyes, when suddenly the little hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. ‘Hello? Is anybody there?’ I asked of the inky darkness. There was a strange shuffling noise like something was moving about. ‘Hello? I know you’re there ’cause I can hear you moving around’ I said. There was a quiet chuckle, then the ground shook as if something very heavy landed. Then the ground shook again and again, as if the footsteps were so heavy the...
