The Cursed Witch
The fine faint glow of an arrowhead pendant imbued with strong magic dissipated as it was successfully used. A startled bird flew away towards the nearest tree. A male canine figure stood in the once empty field of...
The New Farmhand
At a farm outside of Ufa, a border collie was talking to a farmer and his wife at the steps of their porch. Standing upright on his digitigrade paws, the anthropomorphic canine was only in his bare fur, but that...
Red Shift
A small dot in the deep cold of space was traveling closer to a large gaseous planet. The large planetary body wasn't its destination, but rather a jumping point to another planet's orbit. Only three systems had been colonized since the new "Age of...
Traders
I saw them first on the beach. They came from floating huts, and walked like us to the sandy shore. Where had they come from? The ocean itself? The moor was foggy. Hazy low lying clouds blanketed low lying areas as if mysteriously hiding them on...

Ch.1 A yawn quietly ended the silence in a bedroom. A figure rolled around in bed as the morning sunbeam beckoned the occupant to wake up. Two hazel eyes blinked awake wearing a satisfied grin. Del the vixen had normal marking of any orange coated...

Lefkosa Country
A human bolted upright in bed hearing metal knock over just beyond the walls of his home outside. Blinking, he heard a gust of wind that calmed his nerves. 'Probably a pail I left outside.' He was superstitious, and rightfully so. This was Lefkosa...
Rediscovery
"Let's slow down to get a better look." A black furred hand pulled a lever down just a touch above zero. The red and white striped spacecraft slowed considerably as it neared a newly discovered planet, in a newly discovered system. The same hand...
