The Templar Book

THE TEMPLAR BOOK By GENEVA In early 14th century France, as part of his plan for revenge on a rival family for the destruction of his own family, a young man tries to use a magic book saved from the destruction of the Knights Templar. There are some unexpected results. START The time is the early 1300's. I remember that afternoon when I met my uncle and this started. I was practicing close quarter fighting with my friend Jean. Both of us were armed with wooden swords, and...

There and BackChapter 18 Templar Twister

"Sierra, I can see that you're a very useful person to have around, with your impressive knowledge of what is about to happen – however it is that you come by it." Wynne shot me a look that was part suspicious disbelief and part frustration. "However, I suspect that you'd be less than helpful if you ended up dead before we finished this. As the person who's going to have to save you if you get yourself injured, can I respectfully request that you stay out of the fighting when...

Work for a Physician

WORK FOR A PHYSICIAN By Geneva A young French monk, sent to Constantinople after its capture by Crusaders, discovers a magic book while sorting some plunder. Intrigued by its power and background, and concerned about his safety, he travels first to the ancient country of Genoria and then beyond. INTRODUCTION Those who follow my stories will recognize that they all involve mysterious small books, originating from archaic times, that contained magic spells. Many of the stories...

There and BackChapter 150 Getting Centered

The Knight-Commander of Kinloch Hold blinked at me in surprise. “You want to keep a darkspawn mage alive and imprisoned?” I rolled my head, stretching my neck, feeling it pop with a satisfying noise. That rejuvenation spell works wonders – Anders is a miracle worker, thank God for spirit healing – but I wonder how often it can be redone. It’s already wearing off – and I still feel woozy, too. I was relieved to be mostly coherent for the moment, at least. “Want is the wrong word. But we have...

There and BackChapter 142 Seek and Find

Anxiety drove us, and despite it being mid-afternoon when we left the Vigil, we managed to make good time, continuing well past dark. We’d met up with Oghren and Wulf along the way, so between those two and Aedan, Alistair, Justice/Vander (Vustice? Jander? Maybe not), Alim, Zevran, and a reluctant Sigrun, we had eight Wardens, and a large contingent of soldiers accompanying Nathaniel. I hoped that would be enough to take on, presumably, the Architect and whatever forces he’d managed to...

Blood Magic

It was really too easy, I reflected when it was all over. I'd decided what I wanted, and getting it was almost anti-climactic. I say almost, because climaxes definitely weren't in short supply. It all came down to blood magic. When Jowan came to me with a half-assed scheme to learn blood magic from Uldred, I didn't agree to it for power. The fact of the matter was, my harrowing was approaching, and I was terrified. My friend, Neria, had accidentally let slip more information than she...

There and BackChapter 144 Come Here Often

“Wait, what?” I stammered. Rolan and Conrad, two Wardens I’d believed taken by the darkspawn, probably dead, stood in front of me covered in darkspawn blood. Conrad shot me a tired smirk. “Well hello there. Come here often?” I laughed. It was so absurd that I couldn’t ask even one of the million questions that were currently jockeying for position in my head. Alistair’s shocked expression mimicked mine, and the soldiers stood back uncertainly, waiting for us to take the lead. “What’s a...

There and BackChapter 21 Testing

I ate lunch anxiously, trying to determine how to ask the mage what I wanted to know without totally giving myself away. Also, I wondered if I should invite Alistair to the meeting. Deciding that it would be useful to have an 'almost' templar to blame questions on, I motioned to Alistair to follow me after the meal. He gave me a weird look but complied, and a glance at Aedan had him drawing attention to himself, hiding our escape to the library. I showed Alistair the note that Irving had...

There and BackChapter 191 Story Time

I looked from one expectant face to the next, but none of the four looked anything but determined. They wanted me to describe their deaths. I gulped. “First of all, please call me Sierra. I wasn’t ... I don’t enjoy titles or excessive formality.” Their expressions were guarded, so I hurried to reassure them, “No one calls me ‘your Highness’ if I can avoid it. Please.” Alistair was grinning at my discomfort, and I saw a few smiles get suppressed when I rolled my eyes at him. I turned back to...

There and BackChapter 63 Making a Deal

I spoke to Greagoir, Irving, Alim, Tanar, and the nameless templar. "There's more. Because it turns out that I am not a mage; I'm a templar. Without training, without Lyrium, and without the Chantry." Tanar smiled slightly, and Irving nodded thoughtfully; Alim looked a little bit nervous, but glanced at Irving and the lack of panic seemed to calm him. By contrast, Greagoir jumped up from where he sat and spluttered loudly. I sat quietly and watched, amused by his shock. Irving glanced at...

There and BackChapter 152 Triggered

***Trigger Warning: Descriptions of torture and sexual assault** When we woke the next morning, after transferring the mana from six exhausted templars back to me, we got started on ‘the plan’ for dealing with the Architect. The first step to our plan was simple – yet difficult. We needed someone who could carve stone. In that effort, it turned out both Bel and Jowan were indispensable. Jowan had demonstrated a keen affinity to earth magic – apparently different than the typical spells...

Tug and the Holy Grail

My wife Maria was once a Priestess of the Sun, on the lost continent of Atlantis. She was also the concubine of Alexander the Great. Her fling with the Great Conqueror might bother me. But, it took place a few years before we met; two thousand three hundred and thirty-nine to be exact. I am a nerd from Ann Arbor Michigan. I have been one my entire 33 years. In fact, when I met Maria I had recently moved out of my parent’s basement. I was only 31 at the time. By nerd standards, I faced life...

There and BackChapter 17 Vicious Circle

I was getting a bit sick of the disorientation following one of my 'transitions', overall, but this was definitely the worst. I opened my eyes and let out an involuntary shriek. Not only was I completely clueless as to where I was, but as I watched in dismay, the headless corpse of what I assumed was once a person fell towards me, almost in slow motion, and landed right on me. Blood flowed freely from the stump that was once a neck, and I quickly closed my mouth, turning my head to avoid an...

There and BackChapter 74 Love is a Weakness

The next day, Solona was quite withdrawn; I walked with her, quietly, just trying to be supportive. She seemed to appreciate the effort, even if she didn't want to talk. Jowan walked with us silently as well; when I thought about it, we'd hardly heard a peep from Jowan the entire trip. When I asked Solona about it, she told me he was terrified that one of us with something against blood magic would change our minds and go after him, so he was doing his best to be unobtrusive. I resolved to...

There and BackChapter 155 Post Awakening

Solona and I got some strange, concerned looks from Avanna as we left my office, but I ignored them. I asked Avanna to accompany Solona to her new quarters after they dropped me off at mine, and she agreed politely enough. Two guards who I vaguely recognised stood attentively outside my suite, and I shut the door and locked it after bidding them all goodnight. Solona shot me a slight smile as she turned to walk away, and I returned it thankfully. _Maybe I didn’t screw up completely. It...

There and BackChapter 90 Confession

Once I had recovered again, I began to feel guilty. Not only had I – unintentionally, but still – watched my friends being intimate, which was entirely inappropriate, but afterwards instead of consoling her when I knew she'd be upset, I couldn't even control myself for five minutes without having sex myself. Despite my total lassitude and complete lack of a spinal column, I sighed and sat up. "Love?" Alistair sounded half asleep, and I smiled at his drowsy frown. "I'm fine. Have a nap...

There and BackChapter 151 Peak Security

“The Crows figured out Zevran’s alive, and they know he’s here.” Aedan waited a beat before continuing, “We were attacked on our way here from Kinloch.” Eyes widening at his words, I did a quick visual inspection and confirmed that neither of them seemed to be injured. I’d just assumed that the Crows would let it go once they’d learned that Zevran had become a Warden. Hadn’t he said at one point that several Crows back in Antiva had become Wardens? And I’m fairly certain Aedan did Ignacio’s...

There and BackChapter 153 Redemption and Vengeance

The mage was asleep in the bathtub when Anders and I found her. I woke her gently, and the two of us helped her out of the tub and into some clean robes we’d brought from her room. Anders was obviously reluctant to touch her, but Solona showed no signs of nervousness around him, not even worrying about covering herself as she stepped naked out of the tub. I resolved to have a discussion with Anders about allowing her to determine how much contact she wanted – not to assume. She’d already...

There and BackChapter 55 Negotiations

When I woke, I was lying on the floor. Not the ground, but a stone floor. I was confused – where in the Void was I? I sat up cautiously, looking around. I was in a dusty corner of a large room. The walls were all stone, and there was only one tiny window that I could see from my vantage. All around me were broken tables, chairs with missing legs, and a variety of other rubbish I refused to think about too hard. I've apparently woken in a trash heap. Fabulous. I nudged something that might...

The red dress she was wearing had been ripped in numerous places across her side and sleeves, leaving jagged pieces of cloth hanging from the garment.

There and BackChapter 157 Fading In

I walked down the stairs with my brother, towards the ritual that would revive Faren, Maker-willing. But as frightened as I should have been about the ritual – what if it doesn’t work? What if something goes wrong? What if Anders ends up possessed, or worse? – to my shame, there were other things weighing more heavily on my mind. I hadn’t seen my husband since my dramatic failed seduction in the morning, and while I should have been thinking about my friends, or even the large stack of...

There and BackChapter 147 Homecoming

Utha crumpled to the ground, her unblinking eyes open, not even a rasping breath left of her unfortunate life. Zevran taught me well ... but what does that say about me? Chaos broke out around me, but I ignored it, settling her body down, closing her eyes, and whispering a sincere prayer to whatever deity might be listening. I looked up for something to cover her with, and found Zevran, an island of calm in the chaos, handing over a length of rough fabric, scavenged from where I couldn’t...

“Fiona. You’re Fiona.” I sat back, nearly hyperventilating, as I examined my visitor again. My eyes flew from her hair, to her eyes, to her slightly wrinkled face, trying to see something familiar, any sign of the man I’d married, but nothing had changed – she was still the same stranger, though her smile looked rather forced now. “Yes. I am. I see Duncan was right – you know who I am.” She swallowed again. “I’d honestly thought he was kidding, or maybe mistaken.” She ran a shaky hand...

There and BackChapter 115 DisenChanted

I slipped out of the tent, leaving my brother and my husband to ‘important’ discussions with the new Teyrn. Honestly, the meeting had gone about as well as I could expect, and I was just happy we could hopefully work together as needed, even if we’d never have a familial relationship. I was trying really hard not to take it personally. I finally caught Leliana alone when I got back to the Wardens’ camp; with a grin for a fantastic distraction, I dragged the bard into my tent, made her undo...

Darkness Reaches The Low Country

Chapter OneNatalie sat at her desk in her large, lavish Manhattan loft, surfing the internet. Her loft was large and extravagant and for what she paid for it, it should be, she thought. It was decorated in a mixture of modern, to hundreds of years old antiques, to art and nick-knacks even older. They were not haphazardly placed in the loft but flowed together. There were art dealers and antique dealers throughout the world that would give a right arm to own some of the items in her loft.The...

There and BackChapter 190 Still Alive

I watched the four people in my great hall – Leandra Amell and her youngest two children, and Karl Thekla, Anders’ ex-boyfriend – stiffen as I called them by name. Carver and Bethany exchanged wide-eyed looks, and Leandra blanched. I immediately realised my mistake, and winced. Maybe I can distract them with my wit? Nah, that only works for Alistair. Regardless, it was done, and I’d have to roll with it, no matter how weird it felt. I cleared my throat and tried to project confidence,...

There and BackChapter 65 Explanation

By morning, I had porridge going and we actually had some fresh fruit to serve with it, thanks to Aedan picking up some supplies at the Tower; I was quiet, but that had become normal, and no one seemed bothered. Aedan was a little upset that I had taken his watch, but when I told him about my broodmother dream, he was sympathetic. How Grey Wardens survive thirty years without going mad from sleep deprivation is nothing short of miraculous. We packed up and headed to the dock for the Circle...

The Wayward Messiah

The Wayward Messiah PROLOGUE Father Ignacio was the keeper and master of his parish, and he controlled his flock with fear of fire and damnation. Fear was a tasty emotion to the old priest, one that could feed him forever. He was not what he seemed, but true monsters seldom were. The orphanage that fell under his dominion was no exception to his influence; the fear of the orphans was palpable and fed his dark soul. Father Ignacio was a creature of darkness hiding within under a...

“Faren?” I called. “I’ve brought you a visitor.” And then I stopped, because a mostly-naked Faren was perched on the side of his bed, a basin of steaming water on a nearby table, washing himself with shaking hands. Because of course he is. I heard Sigrun squeak, and I slapped one hand over her eyes, the other over my own. “You could have asked us to wait!” I scolded him. Well, that’s a sight I can’t un-see! “I did,” he croaked, voice hoarse. “You just couldn’t hear me.” “What in the...

When I got outside, Koma was sitting at the patio table talking to Quanta and his wife. Myrna was listening with wide eyes at whatever they were saying. I sat down and poured another cup of coffee, waiting to see if there was something in the works I didn't know about. There wasn't, but Koma told Quanta to meet us in the village in about an hour and got up, motioning for me to follow him. Myrna smiled at me when I got up and walked off with Koma.

There and BackChapter 194 Turnstile

The nighttime puppy visits become routine, and after the second or third night, we all stopped getting up to bring the puppies back. In the morning, the four little scamps would be returned to Lady’s room, with all of us commiserating on our sleepless nights. It became obvious – after some good-natured teasing by the Wardens – that the runt always ended up in Carver’s room, which was the first indication that there was something going on beyond Prince and Lady needing a break. Once we...

There and BackChapter 110 Engagement

It was a miserable afternoon, overall, I had to admit. I hated not having anything resembling control, I hated feeling useless. I wanted to at least be down there swinging my daggers and using my darkspawn invisibility to help the armies. Cailan clearly felt the same, and the two of us silently commiserated every time our gazes met. Messengers kept arriving every few minutes, delivering messages before running off with orders. A second wave of darkspawn joined the first, but two more of our...

The Joining that night went about as well as expected. While three mages and three templars had survived until the potion was ready, most of them were ravaged by the taint, barely able to stay upright, skin blackening, hair falling out, fever running rampant through their ruined bodies. Alim and Rolan were the exceptions; the mage looked pale, but otherwise well, and Rolan had black veins visible only under the skin of his hands and arms. Unsurprisingly, they were the only two who survived,...

I was reluctant to break the silence, at first, and more afraid of the answers I might get to the questions I needed to ask. Alistair stared out over Redcliffe Village, expression distant.

"You were sleeping, and I didn't want to disturb you. And I didn't want to draw attention by giving it...

When I woke, that comforting presence was gone, and I wondered if I would be at home when I opened my eyes, but then I heard low voices, Tomas and Theron whispering in anger. I couldn't hear what they said, until Theron hissed the word "fine", and then I heard him storm off, stomping and muttering under his breath.

There and BackChapter 148 Relocation

The ride to Soldier’s Peak started out fairly easy. We had a large contingent of soldiers accompanying us, enough bodies that the usual dangers of the road – bandits, wild animals, darkspawn – left us entirely alone. We had several carts – some loaded with supplies for the Peak, some with food and tents for the trip, and the last three with Faren, the eluvian, and the Architect. I rode with the Architect, to my dismay. It made sense – someone needed to be in the cart to keep a physical eye...

There and BackChapter 161 Good Things Come

I left Faren’s room with a plan to drag my husband straight back to our room – and pick up where we’d left off when we’d been caught having make-up sex. I don’t like fighting with my husband, but the make-up sex has been, historically, spectacular, I have to admit. Sadly, my plans weren’t meant to be. First, I was dragged to my office to meet with Avanna. As I was pulled reluctantly away, I looked back at Alistair with an expression he seemed to rightly interpret as a promise – his eyes...

There and BackChapter 164 Being Left Behind

The time seemed to pass faster after Aedan left – or perhaps it was just not jumping from crisis to crisis every moment. I did paperwork, sparred, read dry political treatises, got to know my staff and my soldiers as individuals, hired a variety of family members of current staff to round out our numbers, made decisions on what parts of the Keep to renovate next and how much of our significant but not unlimited budget to spend on it. I spent time with Nathaniel; he quizzed me, on everything...

‘Shh, ma vhenan, or they will hear you.’ I hold my breath and crouch silently in the shadows of the abandoned estate house. Birds sing outside, flitting from branch to branch of the enormous trees just beyond the front gates. Winter has come upon Thedas, but it never quite seems to reach the greenwood of the Emerald Graves. This is where Solas and I have journeyed to, so that we might wait out the cold, and in the mean time we have delighted in exploring ruins both old and new. Because of...

Webcam Boys Chapter 4

Introduction: William and John had just discovered a new dimension to their friendship. When precarious circumstances threaten their school rep, how far is John willing to go for his best bud?

Magical Paradise

"I'm...I'm back!" you say as you see the walls of the room you were in return. You'd just been to the fade for your harrowing, the rite of passage for every mage within the circle. It's not small task since you had to navigate parts of the fade that had demons in it to see if you could avoid being possessed, but you managed to and came back. The templars around all seem to be at ease now that you've declared yourself and The first enchanter is smiling. "Another mage has successfully passed his...

Assassin s Creed Syndicate

Sequence 1 It was a bright and early day in the small town of Croydon. Railroads and industrial buildings have completely covered the area. There were a few trains that were not being used. Behind one of them were the Assassin's George Westhouse and the Twins, Jacob and Evie Frye. The three were coordinating the assassinations of Templars Rupert Ferris and Sir David Brewster. George decides to task Jacob with the assassination of Rupert Ferris, a middle-aged man who owned an iron factory...

Turnaround

TURNAROUND by Geneva In the German Thirty Years War an emotionally crippled assassin is outmanoeuvred by a Gypsy girl. She uses him to get revenge and he gets a chance at a new life. "Who," I asked, "is Count Von Meissner?" Bishop Alvarez looked up from the documents and maps on his table and stared at me. "My dear Heinrich, he is a potential enemy of the Holy Roman Emperor, and of the Church. Some think he may invade in support of the Calvinists. This war has been going on...

He held up a packet of white pills. "No," Max said. "Bad rat. Evil. Bad." She adjusted her armor. Grizzlil shrugged. "Do you know any rat paladins?" Cookie said, "I wonder if I can get him to accept a gold coin in payment?" "I dunno," Max said. "That artifact is...

Renaissance Festival P 1

“I like liquor…”“And lick her!”There was a collective chortle from the crowd as the buxom singer moved her fingers into a v shape, miming oral sex while her sister looked on. The pair of women were dressed in a pair of leather corsets that emphasized their heaving chests, hands rumpling up matching peasants smocks to add a hint of sensuality to the score. The song continued until the chorus rose up past me. I followed Samuel and Nicole, my eyes unable to focus on the flood of colorful costumes...

A Bet to Lose Chapter 23

Zoe woke up in a haze. She wasn't confused, she knew what she had on, and her bowels were full. She had to get that stuff off, she was not going to poop that cloth diaper. Where to start? She was probably by herself, it had been all night, and yelling through the pacifier for help would be awful even if they could hear her. She figured she could untie the ribbons on the mittens, but she couldn't bite them with the pacifier in, she had to see what she was doing, so she fumbled at the stuff...

Regret A There and Back Again One Shot

So there was an outpouring of anger against Alistair, after I published the most recent chapter of my story There and Back Again. In my head, that wasn’t how it was meant to go, but clearly I didn’t get my ideas across the way I intended. Sticking with one viewpoint - Sierra’s - makes it harder to show what’s happening in someone else’s head, as well as in the background when she’s not around. So I was inspired to write this one-shot from Alistair’s point of view from the last few chapters....

Brothers

It really wasn’t my fault. It had never been my intention to begin what happened. He was my brother, and I loved him, even when he drove me mad ... but sometimes there is only so much someone can take, and I cracked. I lost my mind, briefly ... but when I came back to myself, I couldn’t find it in myself to regret what had happened. It started with a job gone wrong. We were hired to track down a stolen artifact. I don’t even remember what it was, now, but I’d taken Carver, Varric, and Isabela...

So Night Follows DayChapter 18

“The drinks flow, people forget. The big wheel spins, hair thins, people forget. Forget they’re hiding. The news slows, people forget. The shares crash, hopes are dashed, people forget. Forget they’re hiding. Behind an Eminence front. Eminence front. It’s a put on, it’s a put-on.” -The Who, “Eminence Front“ The “back from commercial” jingle played, as Sally and Cara, America’s favorite contractually-obligated BFFs, pretended to have been involved in an intense conversation and just now...

Cathy DouglasChapter 3

The Leader looked at the child standing before him; she was calm and not disturbed over her abduction. "So you are one of the twins, those who are prophesised to destroy The Organisation?" He said watching her. Samantha shook her head, "No! My brother and I are only here in order to prepare the way for the twins. I allowed myself to be taken while my brother remained to help Annabelle and the others. Why did you think I was so easy to take?" She asked him not speaking as a child would...

There and BackChapter 10 New Arrivals

I found Theron and Tomas, both stripped to the waist, sparring with sticks instead of swords. I could see that Tomas was clearly the better swordsman, despite Theron's relative youth and impressive physique, but he was holding himself back to avoid humiliating Theron outright. I sat down nearby to watch, and Tomas took the opportunity to use it as a teaching moment. Both men backed off in intensity, and Tomas took the time to announce what they were doing, pointing out footwork, sword...

There and BackChapter 41 Denerim Ho

"After that, we can split up into groups to accomplish our tasks," Aedan continued. "We need to check in with Brother Genitivi, deal with Marjolaine, maybe find some work to make a bit of coin, and Sierra wants to talk to a dwarf in the market district. Did I miss anything?" He looked around expectantly. No one spoke. He nodded. "Alright. I'd rather not come to Loghain's attention, if we can avoid it. Helmets for everyone at all times. Be careful! Now let's eat, and then get some...

There and BackChapter 64 Tattling and Embarrassment

Greagoir followed through with his end of the deal, and even offered us one better – the use of the Circle's boat to get to Redcliffe. We agreed gratefully, and decided to meet in the morning to greet Anders, recruit him, and board the boat. Wynne would accompany Irving and Greagoir back to the Tower to make sure Anders was ready to travel. Before they left, I decided to broach the subject of Meredith. I wanted only Irving and Greagoir to hear, so I asked the two men for a minute of their...

There and BackChapter 66 Healing Process

I headed back out after a few more minutes of idle chatter, happy with how things were going with Anders. He wasn't quite as angry or bitter as he was in DA2, but he was different than he seemed in Awakenings, too, even though he'd just come from the dungeon. Not that I expected him to suddenly love templars and be a devout Andrastian, but it was nice that he wasn't too bitter. When I thought about it, I was lucky with all of my companions. Shale had considerably mellowed towards me,...

There and BackChapter 72 Protective Instincts

When I woke, I was in a nightgown, in a bed, but it wasn't my bed. I lifted my head to look around; Alistair was dozing in a chair on one side of the bed, Teagan, Eamon, and Theron were seated on chairs facing each other on the other side, and Aedan, Zev, Tomas, and Wynne huddled together by a large hearth. Aedan? When did he get back? How long have I been out? My head and stomach seemed to have sorted themselves out, but my leg ached abominably. As my head cleared, I realised I was...

There and BackChapter 106 Landsmeet

It was a long walk across the city to the Landsmeet, and we'd had to get up way too early. I cursed the lack of technology again. I miss cars. And traffic lights. Who'd ever have thought I'd miss traffic lights? Denerim could definitely use them, with people, wagons, carriages, and beasts of burden everywhere, as there were. While we could have taken a carriage, given the crowded, narrow streets of Denerim, it wouldn't have been much faster. I was used to the walking – spending months on...

There and BackChapter 131 Separation Anxiety

We left Denerim a scant few days later. We’d managed to avoid Eamon – who was apparently accompanying Connor to Kinloch Hold – altogether, and saw Kallian only briefly, between her duties as Bann of the Alienage. Cailan had ‘people’ looking into who would have attacked Anora’s ship, as did Leliana, though I doubted we would ever get closure on that subject. Erlina had been locked up in Fort Drakon – but in a rather comfortable room, not a cell, and the reforms Cailan had brought to the prison...

There and BackChapter 154 Ritual Terror

Everyone tensed as a black line appeared in the air, and a long-legged, oddly proportioned black creature seemed to drag itself through a barely visible hole, one long limb reaching through first, followed by the rest. It was a ghastly sight – and certainly looked like no demon I’d seen in either game before coming to Thedas. The demon paused momentarily, staring at us with its eyeless face as if surprised; it looked from person to person, and each Warden it looked upon reacted in some...

There and BackChapter 158 Memories and Madness

Faren cleared his throat, and then finally spoke after months of lying unconscious in bed. “I’m sorry, Surfacer, I’ve obviously missed something, but I’m fairly certain I’d remember if I’d ever met a human before. Who are you, and how do you know my name?” I blinked. And then again. I opened my mouth, paused, closed it again, and then turned slightly. “Anders?” I called, my voice rising almost into the supersonic with panic. Hearing the fearful tone in my voice, the healer extracted himself...

There and BackChapter 179 Reunion

I followed Ena down the main street of the market, with Avanna and another guard at my heels. I could tell Avanna wasn’t happy that I was following a random elf – a thief – to Maker-knew-where. I gestured at Avanna and she jogged up beside me; I slowed a little to leave some space between us and Ena. “I don’t think it is, but it’s always possible this is a trap.” I sighed as Avanna gripped the pommel of her sword. “She knows who I am.” The guardswoman paled. “Then don’t follow her, my Lady....

There and BackChapter 184 Reluctant Return

We finally separated, scrambling out of the hammock with a lot of giggling and touching and kissing until we were both decent. And then Alistair picked up my parents’ journal, wrapped one arm around my waist, and pulled me sideways into the hammock so we could cuddle and swing. “Want to talk about it?” He lifted the journal and waggled it at me. I snuggled closer, pressing my face against his chest, soothed by his soft heartbeat beneath my ear. “They visited here a lot.” I let out a shaky...

There and BackChapter 192 Haunted House

We chatted with the Hawkes and Karl Thekla about inconsequential matters for a while longer, until we were interrupted by Levi, who brought a stack of paperwork for my approval. I sighed. “Well, you’re all welcome to stay here as long as you like. Karl, later I’ll introduce you to Larus, our other resident non-Warden mage. You can all feel free to explore the Keep, and drop in to talk any time. I’d love to hear what you decide, when you figure it out.” Alistair stood. “Warden, you’re with...

There and BackChapter 108 Preparation

By the end of a month training and integrating armies on the plains of the Southern Bannorn and the Southron Hills, we were joined by Cailan, along with Eamon, Teagan, Nathaniel, and a large contingent of nobles whose troops we’d already assimilated, as well as Keeper Lanaya, Kardol of the Legion of the Dead, and Queen Sereda herself. The ruler of Orzammar leaving the city for the surface was no small event; it had been centuries since a Dwarven monarch had been seen on the surface. And many...

There and BackChapter 111 Overload

My nose started pouring blood as I picked up the mana of the fourth emissary. My vision went blurry, my balance was off, and I started to sway unsteadily on my feet. One more, Sierra. Just one more. Not that I had any idea what I’d do with the general once the emissaries were subdued, but I could only take it a step at a time. I spent a moment trying to adjust to the flood of mana, removing my helmet and gripping my nose to stem the bleeding, before reaching out once again. I was so...

It s Midnight and I m LostChapter 9

Things rocked along until March when I received official notice that the Knights Templar punative troop was headed toward Silano. It amazed me that two different sections of the Church bureaucracy in Rome did not know that I was the same person who led both the city of Silano and the People’s Army. Obviously, there was no interoffice communication going on. Of course I didn’t complain or point out the error to either section. I just laughed and got ready to act upon the free information. I...

It s Midnight and I m LostChapter 8

Mentor’s attitude on who should kill the Pope really shook me up. It was as if he could tell me to do it and that relieved him of all responsibility, yet he could not take the responsibility of doing it himself. I may have been too harsh with him, but he had really caught me by surprise. I think that I needed to apologize the next time I talked to him. That opportunity came up that night. “Mentor, I want to apologize for the way I acted the last time we talked.” “Thank you, Doug, but I have...

Angel of Desire

Prologue October 20th 1289 Midi-Pyrénées, France The moon shone bright against the solid backdrop of the night, a silent witness to the measures of the world. Like an all seeing eye, it never blinked, even as the tortured screams ceased to ring from the grand manor house upon the high hill. It never blinked, although it could not see within the mortared walls. It could only wait, patiently, while the screams began anew, laced now with terror. One shaky voice rose above the horrified cries,...

Orbit A Personalia storyChapter 2

“Mister editor, does the colony accept teachers and their family as colonists?” “Most definitely! They are always looking for teachers, particularly for primary schools in villages.” “I thought that might be the case. The fact that my husband is in the military shouldn’t affect that option, should it?” “Madam, we don’t care a damn what a spouse’s former occupation was. If you are a teacher, he comes with you and your children, if any. He can look after the kids while you are at work; that...

A Day s Work

The night before, I woke up at 1 a.m. Sara was still sleeping by my side, getting up I found a notebook and continued to searched for a pen. Upon finding it, he wrote a note, folded it into a bird using origami and placed the paper crane next to the sleeping young woman. I started to get dress and putting on my shoes, walking back to the bedroom I smiled gazing at the sleeping Sara. Silently I made my way towards her and kissed her lips. With the same silence and panther like stealth, I exited...

It s Midnight and I m LostChapter 5

At last, it was Thursday afternoon and time for me to protect Carlo Bellini while he delivered the final payment on his loan from the Knights Templar. Neither one of us wanted any trouble, so I walked right beside Bellini and carried my baton at the ready. We returned to his office and a very happy Carlo Bellini paid me my fee. That was fine, but if all of my jobs were that easy I would soon be bored right out of my skull! I now had enough other jobs going on so that I was no longer looking...

Desert Hunt

Templar Combat Battalion, TCB Colonel Marcus ‘Mumbatik’ Dangal Personal Combat Battalion of the Regimental Commander On the open top of my command cupola of the command tank, I enjoyed the breeze that the night wind is blowing, as the Leopard 2A6EX 145mm main cannon tank rolled through the desert of Ar’Raq. I have set the viewer of my HUD to separate view screen one is night vision while the right side is thermal. Technology has done great wonders and my visor of the helmet I am wearing...
