Lin's Journal - Jun 22, 1021

In light of International Women's day, I wanted to put out a short story about a heartfelt scene when Lorelei was growing up.

It’s been months since the girl showed up on our shores, and she has certainly come a long way. Her rage has mostly subsided to acting out on men that ask for it, which is something I can handle. I was training her in basic self-defense today—stances, blocks, punches—and that hair of hers kept falling into her face. She’d blow it away with a pfft with every movement and it was driving me…

Chocolate and Oranges

A day of boredom turns into unbridled excitement. Getting a little Valentine's day steam. Enjoy! #fantasy #actionadventure #originalstory #shortstory #romance #lgbt

“Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight…” Inventory days. They were the absolute worst. “Thirty, thirty-one—” Ding-a-ling-aling. I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of that bell. Most of the island was still fasting, so customers were extremely rare. I spun around to the door. There was a teenage boy, panting like mad, his whole body pressed up against the door, and I couldn’t help but…

The Tangled Mirror - Part Four

The end of Chase's diary entries. For now.

The Diary of Chase Burke, age thirteen. Wednesday, August 3rd Sorry I haven’t written in a while diary but… everything went wrong and well… I just didn’t have the strength to write about it.  We’re back in Royal Derry now. Back “home”.  This isn’t home anymore. It’s a prison. But, let’s go back a little. What Father Moumou did was unforgivable. I need to write it down so I will never…

The Tangled Mirror - Part Three

Nothing's going to stop Chase from seeing his Desi.

The Diary of Chase Burke, age thirteen. Saturday, July 30th Dear diary, I just had the best day of my life. Nothing can bring me down today. Let’s start at the beginning. The day didn’t start great. As soon as I woke up today, the priests set me to work. It was so boring. All I got to do today was hand out the rest of the rations. No one wanted to talk. They just took their food and left. I…

The Tangled Mirror - Part Two

Things are going well for Chase and Desi. Hopefully nothing gets in the way of that.

The Diary of Chase Burke, age thirteen. Friday, July 29th Dear Diary, This was—without a doubt—the best week of my life. My hands are raw, my stomach is empty, but I have never been happier. Every day this week I helped Desi out in the woods, and afterwards we would visit that mirror. Desi brought a few things one day to help us clean it up, and it looks a lot better now.  While we were…

The Tangled Mirror - Part One

Young Chase meets a new friend, but wants to be so much more.

The Diary of Chase Burke, age thirteen. Sunday, July 24th Dear Diary, My adventure began today. As always, whenever we went sailing, I was up at the bow, letting the ocean spray me and get me soaked. I wasn’t going to miss a feckin’ moment of this adventure below deck. The priests rarely took me out on their adventures ever since Ma died. I don’t know why. I hated being cooped up in that…

Beware the Dragon - Part 3/3

The final chapter. The dragon is real, and it is deadly.

By Misty Phillips <<Read Part One <<Read Part Two Content Warning: Language, Violence, Blood/Gore, Death As Bones had demanded, so the men had complied. They made quick work of the ocean and made port in the kingdom of Dragr long before the next Stormday. It was a nice-looking place for being out in the Forsaken Ring. The streets were clean and cared for, and the houses were made of…

Beware the Dragon - Part 2/3

Friends are there to help you through the worst times in your life. Could Bones be one of those friends, or is something else afoot?

By Misty R Phillips << Read Part One Content Warning: Substance Abuse, Language Stormday. Some weeks it was better than others. Today was one of the bad ones.  My first hint that the storms were upon us was when my hammock dumped me out onto the cold, wet floorboards. As I snapped myself awake, I realized the cabin was empty. The men were already hard at work. Guess they didn’t bother to wake…

Beware the Dragon - Part One

Part one of Xin's adventures with a mercenary group. Time to slay a dragon.

“What?! What do you mean the job is already done?”  Oh come on, I had a hard day as it was. I didn’t need this loud mouth causing a commotion while I was just trying to enjoy my drink. The girl at the counter seemed to be having a similar thought. Well, except for the fact that she was terrified. I couldn’t quite catch what she was saying over the clamour of the bar, but I figured she was…

Yuletide Dread

This Yule season, Xin gets a rather disturbing lead on a job. Normally there is a price for his assistance, but after receiving a message about missing children, Xin decides to hunt this particular monster for free.

By Misty R. Phillips Content Warning: Violence, Blood, Death The flames licked up into the air as that Yule log burned for the fifth day in a row. I stood basking in its warmth as the cold froze my backside. Yule was always my favorite time of year. The time of year my family was almost always together and happy. Even She would put aside her grumblings about the cold months and enjoy this time…
