InterRealm - Chapter 4
"He's late," the tall otter grumbled, leaning back against the brick wall in the damp alleyway. No snow had fallen yet in New York City, but yesterday's chilling rain could still be felt on the ground and slick roads all over the bustling city. ...
InterRealm - Chapter 3
A small bell tingled as Oren and Edgar stepped into a meager truck stop diner along the road they had been taking. The sounds and smells of fried and grilled foods permeated the air, the insulated warmth of the diner almost belying the dreadful chill...
InterRealm - Chapter 2
A cold, stiff wind pierced the sensitive noses of Oren, Edgar, and a small pawful of the Great Teacher's close, trusted acolytes as they all made their way through the sparse woods outside the Church's cavern. The gentle slope of the mountain made...
InterRealm - Chapter 1
Her only reason to exist was to be pure. As the world itself was wholly impure, it was believed that she would be the beacon of light and understanding, of ultimate salvation. At least, this is what the Evolved believe, those self-named followers of...
Raiyev Part 24
"Tell me what this is about?" Raiyev asked incredulously. "What, you mean you knew all this time?" he asked firmly. "No, no, no!" Harper said quickly. "I was able to find out what the humans were doing here, like you had sent me to do, remember?" ...
Raiyev Part 23
Raiyev awoke with a start, back in that cell that had now become all too familiar for him. He remembered more clearly this time what he had done to those poor cities. Their defense was practically non-existent against him, the raccoon recalled. He got...
Raiyev Part 22
It wasn't until the humans started making their move on the giant raccoon that Raiyev's thoughts came back down to the severity of the situation. Brad was gone...gone! He was dead, and it was the fault of these damnable intruders into his life and his...
Raiyev Part 21
Raiyev plopped himself down on the ground, his large frame making a loud THUD as it hit the soft grass, and he began to weep gently, small streams of tears rolling cautiously down his fuzzy masked face. Dr. Frost, still in Raiyev's paws, looked up in...
Raiyev Part 20
Raiyev was nonplussed. His lab partner, one of his closest friends, was standing right outside his cell door--but not as Dr. Frost had stood, no. She was on Raiyev's side, whereas Thomas stood a traitor. So many mixed emotions were going on inside the...
Raiyev Part 19
Somewhere, in a relatively secluded area, a little girl and her mother were weeping at a graveyard. The funeral for the girl's father, who had died while away on business, had taken place only a few days before. No one could have forgotten what had...
Raiyev Part 18
"Where are they keeping this place, anyway?" Dr. Harper asked as Raiyev carried her through the forest. They had been traveling for many hours, and Raiyev had silently blessed the clouds blocking out the moonlight, making his travel in hidden darkness...
Raiyev Part 17
_What do the humans want with me?_ Raiyev pondered as he plodded alongside the stretch of highway, keeping behind the dense row of trees, his back bent so that he wouldn't be spotted above the smaller trees. It was the dead of night, and though the...
