Tara 3 DogsChapter 6

Darcy went and unpacked his backpack. He removed all the items he had collected for his kitchen at the other house and checked out what was still in this one that he could use. He was delighted that the items he found had familiarity and guessed he didn’t need much replaced or added. Darcy accessed the cold and dry stores to put away his supplies. He wasn’t sure if the food left in them were still good so he decided for now he would use what he had brought with him. They still had a lot of...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 7

Darcy and Blaze no sooner joined the others and they were under attack. Rollover seemed the main instigator of the rebellion. “This isn’t who we are, you are abominations. You are trying to change who we are as a people. The Gods designed us to be the way we are, but no, you were not happy with this, so you align yourself with an outsider. He cares not for our way of life.” “He doesn’t even wish to live amongst us. He deems himself better than us because he can access the ancestors home and...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 8

He wasn’t sure how long he had sat there when he heard a noise and looked at where the path joined onto his new patio. His pack was coming back and to his surprise, they were laden down. The girls had gone foraging and the boys had got lucky and brought down a camla. Darcy was pleased because with eight of them to feed, a camla didn’t go as far as it did with just two people. Darcy jumped up and he went to the end of the patio near the path. He removed enough rock to create a three and a...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 9

Darcy held a meeting that night and produced his finds. He was not surprised when Boner and Speeder ended up with four gemmed Shield vambraces. They were similar to his new Shield Mage item but the gems were slightly smaller for some reason. Goldie was a Nature Mage with Lore and Psychic. As Darcy understood it, this meant she would probably have strong healing abilities. Romp was an Earth Mage with Energy and Physics. Twitch was a Physics Mage with both Nature and Lore. Huntress also...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 10

It was a lot darker than Darcy thought a ‘Jewellers and Wards’ shop should be. At the tinkle of the bell over the door a tired, cranky male voice called out, “I’m closed. Go away.” “Sorry to hear that, I’m looking for Mage Martin Rothe,” Darcy replied as he walked towards the back of the shop. The voice sighed and when Darcy stood on the other side of the messy desk, the man said, “If I owe you money your out of luck, I’m broke you’ll have to take it as antiques. If you’re looking for Quaz...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 11

Everyone got busy putting away the items Darcy had purchased. There was a lot of excited babble in the house as they unearthed the treasures he had in the sacks and bags he handed each of them to unpack. Each of the girls also found a little present in the bag they were handed. Darcy had found books on subjects he knew each held dear. Martin had agreed that they would be appreciated. Going by the kisses he got, he guessed he had done well. He was chuffed when he realised that he thought of...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 12

Shelly growled at Darcy with a threat. She had expected the male to roll over and submit to her. Stray Dogs were not welcome. They kept a watch for the Dogs of the other packs but they rarely ventured this close to their home. Darcy, however, just sat as if he had every right to be where he was. She noticed that he was not coated the same as the other Dog. She watched warily as the other Dog joined the first and sat just to the side and slightly behind him. This was odd behaviour. He was...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 13

Darcy was thankful that his bank account was healthy and he had his spare packs. He was pretty sure the girls found a present for everyone at Redtail Hill as they called their settlement. He had to admit that he and Speeder had been just as bad for adding handy gadgets that they both knew would be useful for the community. The girls had mentioned that they grew rice and Darcy had remarked that he had read that planting sesame and sunflowers with the rice increased crop output. He also...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 14

Darcy was surprised when he got to the communal hall to find a man sitting at a table by himself. He grabbed a cup of tea and sat down opposite the man. “Hi Spike, why the long face,” he said cheerfully. Spike growled, “What have I got to be happy about?” “You’re not just a Dog for one thing,” Darcy replied. “I did it for Milly, you know,” he said with a rough edge to his voice. “Yeah, we figured that out. Have you heard of Mages having premonitions?” Darcy asked him and sipped his tea...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 15

It was a very subdued group that convened for an early breakfast. None of them had slept very well and Darcy hadn’t come back. Blaze, in particular, was taking his disappearance hard. Huntress looked at her daughter and knew that she was the cause of Blaze’s suffering. She had not believed that Darcy was their saviour. She knew that she had taken what Darcy offered but had not fully thought out the consequences. Her primary goal was to make sure her people did not die out as a race. She had...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 16

The next two years were very busy at both Mount Dog and Redtail Hills. Thanks to her vambrace and Darcy, Dame Brindle and her advisors had been privileged to observe the meeting at Mount Dog. It had caused some heated discussions but she and her people, like Huntress’s, also came to the conclusion it was time to modernise. It didn’t hurt that Darcy also came back and upgraded some of her people. Having Mages to help make it a lot easier for both communities. The Redtail people elected to...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 17

Spike had been watching the video and audio feed of Darcy with his guests from in the conference room with the others. He decided that this was his cue and appeared beside Darcy. “Hi Bro, Russet said we had unexpected visitors. Hello, visitors, I’m Spike.” “Ah good. Spike, would you mind terribly showing them your vambrace?” Darcy asked him nicely with mirth in his eyes. “Not a problem. Rauor, appear please,” Spike said and his vambrace became visible. “I’m an Earth Mage. My etching of the...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 18

“Hey Darcy, I just wanted to,” the voice started and then halted before finishing the sentence, “tell you, sorry.” Spike stood there transfixed as he looked at the proud cock on display and his brain registered that Blaze and Shelly were down for the count. “Oh, shit, I shouldn’t have come in here,” he stammered and tried to back out of the door. “No, you shouldn’t have,” Darcy said and wiggled a finger at him to come to him. “Oh, man, you’re going to make me have a kid like Dakarai aren’t...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 19

They estimated it was about a five-hour drive to Barks Bay. It was late in the afternoon when they pulled up at the end of the road that they had built and they got out of the buggy to look at the rest of the road. “Damn, that road is a mess,” Darcy said. “I’ll say, I wonder when someone last came out to run a grader over it.” Speeder commented. The road before them seemed to weave between the trees and if a new one grew in the middle of what had been the road people had just gone around...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 20

They arrived at the dilapidated Guild Hall. The compound consisted of six main buildings and several rows of cottages for the people who would live here. Darcy could see that things had been going downhill here for a long time. Darcy waited for the two Novices to join them from the carrier. Tomas introduced his friend as Matte and they both wondered what Darcy planned to do here, as the place was a disaster zone. Melisa had told him that they had not had a head for the Guild here for at...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 21

Next stop, X-Lakes. This part of the trip was only about a hundred and twenty klicks but took nearly four hours since they had to fix the road going over the range. It was in slightly better repair but not by much. Recent rains had made several sections of the road damn near impassable. However, they made it into X-Lakes early in the afternoon. Someone must have warned the locals they were coming. Speeder laughed but Darcy scowled at the big banner over the road saying, ‘Welcome Lord...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 22

Canine was about a hundred and seventy klicks from X-lakes due to the range. The boys enjoyed an early lunch with the members of the two councils and the Road-crew were invited. Tilly asked Darcy if it was okay to go home first before they went south. Darcy said they had two months to finish the job so if they deviated a bit from the plan he was sure they had a good reason. Darcy winked at Tilly, as he was sure he knew why they wanted to go home. She told the others and they were relieved....

Tara 3 DogsChapter 23

Darcy appeared back in the portal room. It wasn’t quite as black as the previous time he had arrived here, but the crystals were dull. “Hi, Book. Thank you for making that connection for me.” “I am pleased you made it back, it was a very tricky calculation. Please be aware, however, due to various alignments, it may be another six of your years here before I could possibly attempt it again. We were fortunate that you allowed the other cavern to propagate or I wouldn’t have had sufficient...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 24

Darcy hired Trevor and his girlfriend, Alana. They were shocked when Darcy told them the Mads were part of the job and theirs for personal use. He showed them how to use the database and set up their pay account and employee page that listed their entitlements. Speeder had made an opening hours sign and put it out the front. They also found the new employees were a fountain of knowledge. During a lull, Darcy had sent Sam to fill their lunch orders. The rest of the staff restocked their...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 25

They had also learnt that for Royal Balls one was supposed to turn up in either a carriage or a vintage Auto. They all chuckled because they had Henry’s Auto. It was most certainly a vintage model. Henry had told Darcy it had been in his family for a few generations. Darcy had noticed it had a protection spell on it and he had, of course, added his own. The vehicle actually caused a problem, as it wouldn’t let the valet, who was to park it for them, drive it. Darcy then stunned the crowd...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 11

Ricky didn’t consider himself a stupid man, after all, he was a hundred and fifty years old. Ricky was not happy about why Kerr was setting up a camp on his plateau. To go anywhere near dragons was a fools’ errand at the best of times. To try and capture a dragon was an even greater one. The dragons on this island didn’t make good pets, and they went psycho if kept captive for any length of time as previous royals had learnt to their detriment. If the people with Kerr approached the wrong...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 12

Silver had hatched from the last egg that Queen Fleur had laid. Three-quarters of her eggs over the previous three hundred years had failed to hatch, and most of the rest had been stolen or broken before they could. It had been that long since she had produced a female protégée. All of her sons had also died, and with their dwindling numbers, Silver was very much wanted by her mother and her pride. The Queen’s gratitude at getting a healthy, well-adjusted and magically gifted daughter back...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 3

Mark looked around and wondered why Vasari had dropped him on a path in the middle of a forest. He hoped he didn’t get lost getting out of it. The forest was dimly lit but cool. It had been early evening when they left the Palace, but here there was still just enough light to see by. He doubted it would last long though. As a precaution, he told his satchel to appear, and he bent down to retrieve it. He rummaged in it and removed his wand. He could at least use it as a torch. He had been...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 4

Queen Robina was in a foul mood. Her spies said that Mark had disappeared. The rumour was that the boy had gone back home the same way he had turned up. They said that Vasari had instituted a search of the Palace, the town and the surrounding area. The only things missing from his room were a few toiletries. He hadn’t packed a bag or taken any other items from the palace that anyone could identify as missing. The staff and guards had all been questioned, but no one saw him leave. “Is she...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 5

Jean awoke to a strange new world. It only took her a moment to determine that she wasn’t in her bed or her bedroom. The bed was too bloody comfortable to start with. She then became aware of her bodily functions. She desperately needed to urinate, and she was very thirsty. At this awareness, a third disturbing fact entered her head. She had a large warm hand wrapped around her tit. The next was that the male attached to the hand had his hard cock pressed between her butt cheeks. She was...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 2

Trae got water on to boil once he was happy with his fire. While he waited for his boiling water, he started making the first drying rack. By the time he was done, he’d removed the billy and put his tea leaves in it. He stirred the tea with a slice of the shukra cane to sweeten it. Tea made, he started slicing the meat up thinly, to dry it. He shifted coals under the rack and used some of the long thick leaves of the cane and some of the green oak branches he had collected, to create...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 6

The next three weeks flew by for Mark and Jean. It was surprising how quickly they settled into a routine. While Mark still did a lot of the cooking, Jean was finding that she enjoyed his meals and since breakfast was simple, she took over it as her main meal to prepare. It turned out that she was also far better at milking the camla than Mark was. Since she was a Nature Mage, neither of them were surprised by this. Mark taught her the rudiments of how to make soft cheeses since the camla...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 7

Mark stepped up to the small traveller that had stopped at his hail. It was painted orange and had a sign on it saying ‘Rider’. He helped Jean into the back and climbed in after her. “Bell’s Wheels, please,” he said to the driver. The rider (taxi) took off at a sedate pace. They weren’t allowed to go faster than 35km/hr in the city zone. Even on the open road, they only did twice that speed. Many people still relied on lankys and carts for transport and the travellers were barely tolerated...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 9

For Mark and Jean, it was winter in Wonderland. The next two months passed swiftly for the couple. They made love often and watched as Jean and Bobo’s tummies thickened. Jean worked on her serum, but she hadn’t had the breakthrough she wished for. Her new version, thanks to Mark’s machines, worked even better for the non-shapeshifting gnawers, and they had fewer side effects if treated quickly. However, her tests on the blood from her flickers weren’t proving positive. Her latest batch...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 11

Mark started to get worried when he couldn’t find Jean. He’d told her not to go outside. He called Kia, but he didn’t answer. Bobo came out of their home and pointed to the outside. Mark quickly went into the mudroom and donned his outdoor clothes. He noticed that Jean’s was missing. The storm had eased off, and his shield had kept the worst of it out. Soft rain and snow could penetrate the shield but if it was forced at the shield by strong winds or was in large clumps like hail it didn’t...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 12

Mark had popped back to visit the Guild Lords at the end of the second week. He dropped off the thirty odd single gem items he had for each and explained why they had fixed them first. Renita and Palene had both agreed that they liked his and Jean’s reasoning and they believed they had found new candidates for many them. He had also redesigned them, and they now had two crystals on each and the gem for the discipline. He had also made the recipients small satchels that were about 32cm long...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 13

In the month following his special visit, he had been carefully monitoring things as the new magicians had started taking up their duties. He was amused by the comments about the satchels when he and Jean had been walking around different cities. Apparently, many of the new novices and the old ones considered wearing them as a badge of office. He had sewn a special pouch into each satchel that held crystals for them to draw power from. After Renita and Palene had been taught how to do this,...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 14

The Duke and Duchess of Renee caused a stir. Vasari was throwing the Summer Ball. They had deliberately arrived late, and when they were announced, Vasari’s head had snapped up. She went pale as if she was staring at ghosts. One of her consorts had to steady her when she swayed. Mark had picked her out instantly, and the look in his eyes was not one that Vasari would soon forget. He was back, and he wasn’t planning on putting up with any of her games. The fact he had Jean on his arm and...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 3

Jim frowned at Kat as they drank their kaffe. “So what are we going to do with you? I’ll guess you’ll have to work for me until we can find a way to get you a magical item. I can’t see how to clear your name for the present. I’ll also need to find a room for Trae,” he told her. Kat grinned, “You mean I finally get to meet the mystical protégée?” Jim chuckled. “Yes, he is due here in a month. Hum, I have intended to clean out the old flat upstairs for some time. What say we make that...

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 15

Baroness Alina Morton was furious. Robina had not sent new orders for more silk in the last month, and neither had Vasari. The rumour was that the war was off. The price of her silk had dropped dramatically. That damn foreigner had put the wind up both of them, and her schemes had been squashed. It was probably just as well, as she was having trouble supplying the orders she did have. The damn aracnzi were still playing up and were attacking her people even more than they had in the past....

Tara 1 SpidersChapter 16

Mark flopped on his back on the bed. Jean snuggled into his side, and he gathered her into his arms, so her naked breasts and body were pressed against him. She still hadn’t regained her normal breathing, but he could feel her satisfaction from their lovemaking. They’d had a busy day and used a lot of magic, so the sex had been all the more fun with their orgasms being heightened by the magical recharge. Not that they needed an excuse to fuck each other stupid. Nor was it the first time...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 13

Many of the city dwellers didn’t believe that the island still had dragons living on it. For centuries, no one had seen a dragon in the lowlands (lands less than a klick above sea level), or even in the highland towns like Diamond Dale and Ruby Dale. Ricky knew that as the island’s people population had grown the dragons were not able to fight against the sheer numbers. While they could remain invisible while they flew in daylight, they became visible when they landed to eat. Their numbers...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 4

Paul couldn’t believe his luck. Trae had so many projects on the go he was hard-pressed to keep up with some of them. When Paul realised that Trae had built everything he saw, by himself, in five years he was flabbergasted. He suspected he wouldn’t have time to get bored while Trae was away. Trae had sat him down and they worked out a rough schedule of jobs. Trae had indicated the ones that had to be done, those he would like done and those that if Paul had time, he could have a go...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 5

He was quickly loaded on the ferry and he was excited that he would see Jim soon. He loved spending time with the old man, even though he didn’t look much older than mid-thirties by Burgis standards. Jim was a Pix and wore an Earth Novice ring. Trae had learnt a lot from Jim over the years that he had been visiting him. He speculated on what Jim would think of all of the treasures he was bringing to him this year. He also knew that he and Jim would need to have a discussion about his new...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 6

Jim told Trae to put the gems and crystals back into the boxes for now. Jim suggested that they should put some protection spells on them. Trae moved the boxes, so they were under his new bed. He placed a crystal over his bedroom door and then one over each of the other doors and each window in the apartment. Trae then got Jim to teach him and Kat the spells and the three of them did them together. Kat was delighted with being able to do spells that were more complicated and with being able...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 16

The couple were having breakfast on the third morning. Ricky said, “Micky, we need to go find the dragons. I don’t normally go wandering around in their domain, but I feel that we can’t wait any longer. I doubt that Silver is coming, as she should have tripped one of my alarm spells by now.” “If I were Kerr, I’d have set up some scheme to get the dragon to go to the plateau. But I didn’t know what he plans to do, as I’ve thwarted that plan by bringing you and me here.” “Kerr’s only real...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 7

The next two weeks speed by. In between lessons, kissing Kat and running around selling some of the merchandise that he had to sell, Trae had a lovely time. He and Jim had sat down with Kat and gone through what work she needed to complete before she sat her exams. Kat and Jim had sent a special letter, spelled of course thanks to Trae, to the University Board demanding that Kat be allowed to sit the exams. They informed them that they could prove that Kat didn’t cheat. They had received a...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 8

The young couple finally arrived at the estate close to lunchtime. Kat had been here once before. She and Olive had been friendly before Olive had taken up with Dewar, so she knocked for them. Kat was surprised when Olive opened the door herself. “What are you two doing out here?” she spat. “Haven’t you done enough damage? Do you want to gloat to my face?” Kat was a bit taken aback, but she didn’t get to answer as Olive’s mother, Fran, had also come to the door. “Who is it dear?” Fran...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 17

“Hum, Excuse me Queen Fleur, but Ricky thought you would be hibernating?” ‘I should be, but fortunately for you two, Realia’s youngest went missing about three days ago. Skyla is only thirty, and he got a little upset when Silver said he couldn’t mate with her if she came into heat this winter.’ ‘It was once most of the others were bedded down that we realised he was missing. He had agreed to be one of the guards this rotation. He does have a deep ardour for Silver, and he was very upset...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 9

Trae felt a moment of confusion upon awakening. Kat had buried her head into his shoulder and somehow slid a leg between his. She had one arm over his waist and he had his top arm over hers. His lower arm had her pulled into his body and her soft hair was tickling his nose. He smiled as the memories of the night before came back full force. He gently rubbed his hand over her hip and her fine arse. He loved to feel her soft skin under his hand. He was still surprised that she had instigated...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 18

As they flew, Micky wanted Fleur to explain why her blood was so precious to the mundanes. At first, Fleur seemed reluctant, but then she realised that she trusted Ricky with her life and the lives of her pride members. She had done so for many decades now. After all, Ricky was their Paladin, their protector. ‘As you are aware, dragons are magical creatures. We have what is called hereditary memories, and they are passed on to our children. However, we do don’t remember our conception as a...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 10

Kat and Trae spent a second night in the hut. Trae had packed most of the meat in his preservation room in the cart. He would give it to Mitch Bones. He mostly smoked the older male’s meat. It being a bit tougher wouldn’t matter and the shukra should make it taste sweeter. He would grind a lot of it up later for his travel bars. Kat had him strip and checked his wounds. They were healing and since she already had him half-naked, he decided to get her in the same state. He didn’t find a lot...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 19

This new cavern was surprisingly warm. Micky was amazed by the pits full of just damp, sand. Paths of various widths, and made of volcanic rock separated the ten sandpits. They were, in fact, all different shapes but roughly 3m square in area. The pits had thin spirals of slow rising steam coming from them. “How full is the new nursery, Fleur?” Ricky asked as looking at the innocent-looking plots of steaming sand. He had built the new nursery after he had learnt that Fleur had left...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 11

Trae had been talking to Mike when he felt his medallion go warm. He immediately started searching for Kat. He thought that he spied her heading out the back and worked his way towards her. Then he heard her scream in his mind. He stood rooted to the spot. Anger like he had never felt before, boiled up inside of him. He took a deep calming breath and sent to her that he was coming. He then blinked. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the area behind the hall very well and ended up landing badly...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 20

Ricky looked at the six men who were some 5m below him. He grimaced as he recognised two of them. Some men just have a foul stench about them. Ricky guessed that if they had worn any magical items when he first met them forty-five years before, they must have been only had one gem at the most. The fact that they didn’t look a lot older suggests they had. Whatever device they wore, it was obviously corrupt. He had a feeling they hadn’t long stepped down the path of evil when he had met them...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 12

Paul and Tom had seen the wagon coming slowly down the road. They were both excited that Trae was home. The two lads had been very busy in Trae’s absence. When Mark had asked Tom if he wanted to move out to the valley with Paul, he had jumped at the chance. His mother was driving him nuts to get a better job and living in town just wasn’t fun without Paul being with him. Marika had also moved onto a new conquest and Tom was wondering why he and Paul had even fallen for her charms when she...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 21

Skyla had come back with a satisfied look on his face to tell them that Alberto was no more. He had been horrified as he watched the demise of his Queen. He stood transfixed until Ricky called for him to come and help him and Micky. Silver howled the whole time that Ricky tried to remove the shackle from her legs. Ricky had to get Skyla to hold her while he worked, so she stayed still long enough for him to get the spell to work. Even Micky had her arms wrapped around Silver’s neck. Ricky...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 13

The next ten days flew past a lot quicker than the team could believe. Trae and Kat found the lads eager pupils and did on occasion have to warn the boys to take it a bit easy as they learnt to use magic to make many tasks a lot easier. Trae also reminded them they shouldn’t fall back on magic as their first choice. Many small tasks were actually easier to do the normal way. During the daylight hours, they spent their time working on the outside tasks, and they used the evenings to do those...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 22

Ronan popped his head around the doorway. His new master and Micky were cuddled up on the huge bed. They looked so small and delicate, like two half-grown children but Ronan was not fooled. While Micky was pure Fayle and Ricky just looked mostly like one, he knew that between them they wielded great power. He had no intention of giving up this prized position. His grandmother was going to have a fat-attack when she read the letter that he would send her. Being the personal servant to the...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 23

The girls were curious. Ricky had been very busy in his workshop and searching though his books for some important information. Micky was quite sure he had popped back to his treehouse a couple of times too. It wasn’t that Ricky locked them out, or even really ignored them, but he hadn’t told them what he was doing either. They hadn’t pressed, because whatever it was that he was doing, was important to him. When they got to his workshop, they could see six plain-looking metal boxes sitting...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 14

The trip from Catton to Clawton had been nearly 300km in the past, over some very rough terrain. A small convoy often took seven to eight days to traverse it if the weather was kind to them and the road was in repair. The fact the convoy had already covered 70km on the first day thanks to Trae’s new road had the merchants hoping this trip would only take about a week. Trae knew that several sections they had coming up could cause delays but he was hoping that having six of them with magical...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 15

The rest of the trip ran smoothly. Trae and Kat with some help from the lads completed the road. They made record time and arrived in Clawton late in the evening on the fourth day. They pushed it a little since they were close and the party were happy to be swapping camp beds for real ones sooner than they expected. Trae and Kat stayed in their wagon and to their amazement, the lads preferred to stay in their tent. They said they were more than comfortable in it with their mattresses and...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 24

The girls waited, but Ricky stayed quiet for a full minute. Then another minute ticked by, and then another. “Ricky,” Micky said gently. “Honey, you can’t leave it like that. I know it must hurt. I can’t even think of my parents not being around anymore. It’s like, I got kidnapped, and I feel they are waiting for me to get sorted out and come home to them as soon as I can.” “Yet another part of me knows that Kerr did as he said and that, they were killed before I even left River City....

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 16

Edward and Deirdre were ready, along with a mountain of luggage. Trae and Kat showed them the accommodations. To say they were shocked at the mobile home would be an understatement. Edward was more than pleased to have what appeared to be the bedroom in the front compartment. Deirdre was amazed at having her own bedroom and a bathroom to use. Her only reservation was, having Kitty and Sampson along for the ride. Considering her experience with their cousins, this was understandable. Kat...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 25

“So, what are we going to do with Kerr?” Micky wanted to know. They were sitting in the loungeroom slurping on bowls of freshly made camla soup. Ronan had filled the pot the night before with chunky root vegetables and cured camla meat, from Ricky’s overstocked larder. To tenderise the meat, the soup had been simmered over a low heat during the night. With the fresh bread that Ronan had made, it was a very filling way to start the day. They were all watching Kerr’s people starting their...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 17

Raymond did a double take when the cuttails emerged from under the table the group had been sitting at. He wasn’t sure how Vera would feel when she saw them but Kat reassured him they were babies and well behaved. He just hoped his very pregnant wife didn’t freak out when she saw them. He was amused to watch them prance along happily on their leads as if they were out for a walk with their owners. Kat had him sit in the front of the flatbed and the cubs piled into the back with the de...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 18

Trae felt Kat join him in his silent reflections. ‘What happened, Trae?’ Kat asked him. ‘I know who I am and I don’t wish to be that person,’ he replied sadly. ‘Why? Are you a bad person? I don’t believe that you are. I have never felt that in you,’ she replied. Trae sighed and hugged her and the cuttails who seemed to have joined him in a field of flowers beside a stream that he had placed himself in. He knew the place was one of his favourites in his valley and he felt he had conjured...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 26

Kerr, with Miles and Jen following, approached the cooking area. Like the others, they were at first rather flabbergasted that three richly dressed people were cooking and serving food to his hired help. It wasn’t until Jen exclaimed, “Oh, it’s Lady Dee,” that Kerr even realised the Fayle serving the bun with the slice of camla on it, was in fact, his supposed wife, Micky. It took him several more moments before he recognised that Ronan was a female version of the man he knew of as one of...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 19

Trae blinked to Guild Lord Robin Claws’ office. Hilton took up the ear of the snail shaped island. It had jetties that ran for several kilometres down either side of the ear, located in several bays. Most of the industries were to the west side and the inner city was to the right. It was a large sprawling city with buildings as high as fifteen stories. It was home to nearly 800,000 people. The outer villages were interspaced with small farms and estates for the rich. The hilly landscape...

“Well now we have that settled, let us move on,” Ricky stated. “Where do you people wish to be dropped off?” He asked the helpers. Dylan stood, and after looking at his friends, he said, “We’ve not been paid.” “Yes, I gathered that. Considering how you have damaged my property; I shall need you all to help me clean up this mess. I will give each of you a small bag of crystals once we part company. Will Amethyst Dale do, or do you wish me to send you to one of the other cities?” After a...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 20

After checking that all was in order, he blinked to Wing City to see Jim. The two men hugged, and Nala gave Trae a big kiss. Trae explained to Jim why he wanted him to move to his valley for a short time. Jim and Nala were both distressed to hear what had happened to the twins. They were then shocked by his other revelation. Jim looked at Trae thoughtfully. “This may surprise you, but I sold your mother and father their joining rings. I have often wondered why you looked so familiar to me...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 21

Trae and Kat spent the better part of the next week in his workshop. Trae only left the workshop to eat, collect items required, make love to Kat and sleep. He had felt compelled to work on the magical items. Kat had spent the first two days helping him clean up the old items before she moved to his other project. Trae wanted Kat, Graham and Pamela to make small leather satchels for him. He wished to put the items into them. He explained to them how he wanted them made and gave them a rough...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 28

“What was that last bit about?” Micky asked Ricky as they stepped down from the dais. “Greed, it is a nasty aspect of man. Don’t worry, Wilber will be fine. I put a protection charm in his pocket and spells on the wagon. I can’t say how the rest will fare, but it won’t be Wilber doing the killing or stealing,” Ricky told them. The girls were appalled but didn’t believe that Ricky was wrong about the natures of the other men. Several of them had creeped both Micky and Ronan out. They didn’t...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 22

The Cutter family had also had an interesting week. The trip to Clawton had been relatively fast on the new road. Trae had instructed the twins how to look after the cubs, and the girls found them a great source of comfort. Being stuck in the flatbed with their parents had also proved an interesting time. The four of them had some very thought-provoking and eye-opening discussions. The girls often forgot that their father was a lot older than their mother was and had reared a daughter...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 29

“Stupid dracolings,” Ricky muttered as he freed his left arm from around Ronan. He reached into the pack on his chest and withdrew a dark green dragon’s egg with golden tipped scales. He handed it to Ronan. He then withdrew another egg. This one was mostly a pale white-grey with violet tips on the scales, and it went to Micky. He then extracted one more egg. This one was larger than the other two, and it was a metallic black with lighter shades of grey radiating down to the white tips of...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 23

Tom and Paul were glad that Jim and Nala had turned up as they were due to meet the next wagon train in the morning. They guessed that Trae had a lot to do with their timely arrival and they were relieved that the Cutters would not be alone. While Trae had made more crystals available, transporters were still expensive, wagons and lankys were still the norm for most of the population. They and their brothers had determined that the Rangers wouldn’t be out of jobs for some time to come. If...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 30

Dinner was quite lively. Micky and Ronan showed both Hetty and Ricky the jewellery they had selected and asked if they thought it would do. Both agreed the pieces were in alignment with the girls’ primary disciplines and complimented them on their choices. Ricky even mentioned that he hadn’t seen either set before, and he was glad that they now had new owners who would appreciate them. He then mentioned that he had sent a note to his grandmother and informed her he wished an audience on an...

Tara 2 CuttailsChapter 24

Trae brought the chest over to his Grandmother. She chuckled at his perplexed look. She was glad that she did live long enough to see it claimed. She was distressed at what had transpired to get to this day, but she knew that the Gods had a will of their own and she was as much their pawn as any other. “Prince Trae Quinton, do you promise to serve and protect the One People to the best of your ability?” she asked. Trae scrunched his eyebrows. “Who are the One People?” he had to...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 31

Well, it wasn’t quite a riot; it was more an issue of congestion. At first, most people who came to look at the stall didn’t believe the crystals were real. Then one of Hetty’s regular buyers came over to say hello. “Hey, what’s going on Hetty? Why do you have a stall?” “Hi Arthur, stock clearance. The boss says I have to get rid of this lot,” she said as she waved her hand at the stack of crates behind her. Ricky had hired the tiny second stall space just so they could stack the boxes in...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 32

It was Ricky’s turn to gasp. The three ladies paraded into the parlour to show off their finery. They each twirled gracefully and slowly, so he got a good look. They were dressed in their signature colours and looked ravishing. The style this year, for those who could wear it, was strapless bustier-style tops with long, flowing, brightly coloured, semi-transparent top skirts with dyed floral patterns, over a mid-thigh underskirt. A matching coloured, finely woven woollen shawl with...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 33

Ricky and his girls waited while the crowd emptied the room. Ricky had estimated some one hundred and twenty people were attending this dinner ball. Just about anyone who was anyone was here. As he watched, he realised that his family was surprisingly small. His grandmother had not had any more children after his mother. She had given birth to one son and then the three girls. Ricky wondered why she hadn’t more. She was magical, so she should be still fertile. Realistically, she was still a...

Tara 6 CrossroadsChapter 34

The dracolings were having a good time. If the dinner guests nearest the girls were unhappy at watching dracolings eating raw meat in the middle of the table, they didn’t mention it. From what Ricky could observe, most at the table were more fascinated than apprehensive or upset. He was amused when Peridot stalked down the table and stopped in front of one of the women. She had some crab from her appetiser on her fork. She stopped from putting it into her mouth when Peridot sat in front of...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 2

Gazza White was perplexed, as he didn’t know where he was. Gazza had been part of the UNMCTT (United Nations Mine Clearance Training Team) that had been stationed in Afghanistan since 1989. He was twenty-one years old and had been due to come back to Australia after serving a year overseas. Unfortunately, May of 1992 was not a happy month for the population of Kabul. While he had the basic training in Landmine Clearance, that wasn’t his job. Gazza hailed from Ayr in Queensland and he had...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 3

Gazza was not aware that asking a mage what skills he had was considered a rude question. Bette thought she could get away with her question since it was obvious he wasn’t from around here and since he seemed to know bugger all about magic. She watched as he pulled the medallion from out of his shirt and showed it to her. Bette pointed to the wind symbol, “Physics is on top, so it’s your dominant skill. Makes sense if you used to fly.” Pointing to the book symbol, she continued, “Lore means...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 4

Gazza asked Bette, “So where were you headed before we met?” “I was going to find the western road to Green Bay and then go south to Avilla, the Capital City of Ant Island and try to find a job,” she told him. “You said something about a University; can we learn more about magic there?” he asked. “Yes, but it’s not cheap. My father had considered sending me to it. As a rule, Faeries do have some magical abilities but it is rare that they wear magical items. I’m surprised that I...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 5

Gazza woke when a little hand pressed on his chest. He opened his eyes to the pre-dawn light to see a slightly confused look on Bette’s face as she tried to work out just where she was. She looked at him blankly for a moment and then the most beautiful smile appeared on her face. “Wow, you are in big trouble mister,” she said. Gazza tried to say sorry but she shushed him and put her fingers over his lips as she sat up, on him. “I’ve heard lots of stories about why magical people love sex....

Tara 4 AntsChapter 6

Gazza had to admit that he had ridden in better-sprung vehicles. After only an hour, both his and Bette’s arses were sore. He noticed an area where autos had deviated off the road in the past. He pulled the Auto over and got out. He walked around rubbing his arse. They had barely travelled ten klicks. He reached behind and pulled the little book from his back pocket. He then went to find a shady spot to sit. “Book, I need to do something to make that Auto travel better along the road or to...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 7

The day was taken up with sight-seeing and shopping. The flickers decided to hang around the hotel. They had a comfortable place to sleep, a safe garden to roam around in and an abundance of good food. Basil informed Gazza that he could find plenty to amuse himself with and flashed a picture of one activity he planned to spend some time perfecting. Gazza chuckled and decided to leave the newlyweds to their bliss and bonding exercises. He did remind Basil to change the towel on the couch if...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 8

Once they were all seated, the Dean collected some papers and asked, “So what are your best subjects?” “Languages, maths, accounting and physics,” Bette answered. “Literature, physics, biology and physics,” Gazza offered. He was good at mechanics and aeronautics too but he was sure the first four subjects would be best to offer to get into a degree of some description. “Interesting. May I ask how long you have worn the magical items?” the Professor asked. “About two weeks for both of us,...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 9

Bette woke and stretched. She sat up and looked at the bed. It was a mess of twisted, damp sheets. She chuckled softly as the highlights of the last couple of hours flittered through her mind. Gazza was still sprawled out on his stomach and breathing the soft breaths of a sated, sleeping man. She dropped her gaze down his back and over his cute sexy arse. He was so beautifully proportioned and his tanned skin was as smooth as silk to her touch. She itched to touch him again but she really...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 10

Gazza had to smile at Bette on their first day of school. While he hadn’t attended a university back on Earth, the only real difference he could discern was that the kids were older here. Although, with the range of heights, the younger looks and slower maturity of some of the races, this too was debatable. The first-year students were herded into a large auditorium. Here they were told how privileged they were to be attending Ant University, (even if no Ant had actually ever attended as a...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 11

“Honey, are you sure this is the right way?” Bette quizzed as she looked out of the Auto’s window. “Yes dear, I know where we are going,” Gazza replied with sufferance as he watched the slower traffic move out of his way. “It’s a shame Linda and Jina didn’t come with us,” Bette then said, ignoring his tone. She knew how much Gazza hated slow traffic as they crawled towards the north and the way out of town. “The old girl said she was too old and frail to sleep rough,” Gazza answered with...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 12

The trip to the caverns the next morning was at a slower speed but the trip was relatively quick. The new wives were fearful at first but they soon settled down. Gazza deliberately didn’t go very fast so they could get used to being in the Auto. He had a feeling the fact that the kids were happily playing in the back, also helped the girls feel safer. Once at the caverns, Bette formed a new shield over the Auto. The family then gathered up the first load of supplies and she and Gazza...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 13

They spent the next couple of hours wandering around the ship. “This is very odd. If people had been in here when it came down, why does it look like it has never been lived in? None of the rooms have personal possessions in them and all of the storage rooms seem untouched,” Gazza speculated aloud. “There weren’t any people in the sleep chambers either. I’m also mystified as to why the lights work when we access a new area,” Bette added. “Not just the lights, it seems most of the systems...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 14

The couple didn’t expect to be spending the night in a comfortable bed. However, neither complained, as the availability of washing facilities was not to be scoffed at either. “We need to fix up a better bathroom in the cave,” Bette commented as she stood under the rain like shower coming from the top of the shower cubicle. “Ditto, I am rather partial to a good shower even if that pool is warm. Sharing my bath with flickers isn’t my idea of fun,” Gazza replied. “Petal and Basil will...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 15

They decided to go see Mr Carson first. Gazza had gotten his address from Linda and had written to him back when they were fixing the electricity grid in their block. Mr Carson had written back telling him to go see his agent and supplied his name. The agent had said that if it cost any money, then Mr Carson wouldn’t approve the repairs. Gazza had given up and Bette had just fixed the problem. Redel kindly agreed to act as navigator and picked a spot just off Mr Carson’s driveway as a safe...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 16

Bette looked at the man, shocked by his anger. Gazza stood abruptly, “No, he is a baby. I’ve seen a very interesting future for him but it can go several ways. You can treat him like the special child he is, treat him like the abomination you say he is and suffer the consequences or you sign him over to Bette and me, and we will make sure he has every opportunity to become what he can be.” “I will go get the magistrate,” Nat said abruptly and stormed out of the room. He was a tall,...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 17

Nat looked at the box and the hunger to claim it was evident. She then started and looked at Gazza with worry creasing her brow, “What if we don’t take Garry back?” “Bette and I will raise him if you can’t let go of your prejudices. You will still have the ability to be a good mage and the box is yours, come what may. I’d also hope like hell that you don’t have any more magical male children that I have to adopt. Bette plans on giving me a kid the next couple of times that she comes into...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 18

The next interesting discussion the family had was how they were going to get home. Bette wanted to get the house in order before school started again. The flickers were more than happy to go home if Bette was going. Even the new flicker wives were looking forward to the move. Possum declared that where Garry and Bette went, he went too. The other droid, Wombat, wanted to go with the flickers and the kids didn’t want to leave without him. Gazza still had to get the car home but neither he...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 19

Gazza got the Auto back on the road. “Gazza, your idea about Wombat, isn’t as silly as it sounds,” Bette said. “I think you should make Wombat a girl though.” Gazza looked back at Possum in the mirror, “Do you want her to look like Bette or Nat?” “That is a very hard discussion master, as they are both equally beautiful to me,” Possum answered. Bette and Nat chuckled. “Damn, he really is your doppelganger,” Nat replied. “What! He’s just got good taste is all. I can never pick between you...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 20

Bette and Gazza spent the last few days of their holiday getting the house in order. Bette had to make a couple of trips back to the wheelship to pick up smaller pieces of furniture for the flickers and several other odds and ends. She’d also found a storeroom containing bolts and bolts of cloth in many different shades, patterns and weaves that could be used as curtain material and also for making clothes and bed linens. One of the spare rooms became her sewing room. She even found some...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 21

Stix was a very unhappy ant. It was over four hundred and fifty klicks to Red Hill by land and closer to five hundred by sea. She shuddered to think that she was contemplating hitching a ride on a ship. She had always had a problem with motion sickness, which was very strange for an ant. She messaged her Queen to inform her that she was checking out a ship that her principal was interested in visiting. She told her that she suspected that the Captain or one of his crew was supplying Gazza...
