Zonktober 2022 - 19. Mantra
Nicky had been toying with his mane for the last few minutes and anyone that knew him just a bit could tell that he was feeling slightly flustered, although he was making a pretty good effort at trying to keep it hidden. The lion was going out...
Like Heaven (Patreon reward for Kodi)
"Wake up." Ano didn't feel like he had gone too deep into the trance. Then again, he wasn't very sure what hypnosis was supposed to be like. His limbs had felt weightless and relaxed and he'd managed to quiet the thoughts in his head for a...
Uncharted lands (commission for MagicDragons)
There was a crater right in the middle of the Paldea region. It was unclear when or why the crater had formed - there were theories, of course, but not enough data to back any of them. A thick layer of mist covered the surface of the crater,...
Making friends (commission for Kodi)
Blucario rarely made mistakes, but when he did, he had a tendency to mess up big time. There were dungeons with passages that led outside whenever you reached the final room. Those were usually the most practical, since you didn't have to go...
Mortals, cupcakes (Patreon reward for Nyeogmi)
The words _crow_ and _raven_ are the same in Spanish, even though they're two completely different things. Spanish-speakers will only use the word _cuervo_and then add whatever clarification they might need afterwards, like _cuervo picofino_ or...
Five minutes to closing time (Commission for Jerrett)
It had been a slow, boring shift in a slow, boring day. Jerrett hated hating his job, mostly because he was his own employee and his own boss. In another words, he owned his workplace. And he was rather proud of his bar and the way he'd...
Pet, pet, pet
"Imagine a dog." Pet... Pet... Pet... Cody had been gone long before the request came. Imagining things was easy when in autopilot mode. Normally, the process was like building a campfire - easy for some, difficult for most, requiring a...
No rest for the wicked (commission for Lucian)
It was another normal day at Club Lunix. After the initial shock, Eli had gotten used to working there. He couldn't say it was a really hard job, given the circumstances. They never had an overwhelming amount of clients and most of...
Zonktober 2022 - 9. Visor
Dabble was familiar with visors, of course. He had fallen victim to one or two in the past and the experience had been pretty satisfying to say the least. That meant he knew what to expect when the thin screen carefully placed in front of his...
Zonktober 2022 - 8. Transformation
** ** Pyrex had made a habit of worrying too much in the past. In this particular occasion, though, it could be argued that the kobold wasn't _simply_ worried - no, he was anxious. Nyeogmi had a penchant for putting him in all kinds of...
Zonktober 2022 - 7. Resistance
** ** At first, Seth thought he'd imagined the practically inaudible sizzling sound in the room. There were several reasons why abandoned tombs weren't a popular destination for field trips - one of them being that a single mistake could end...
Darryl's Day
Darryl the rottweiler woke up just like any other day in the week. He opened his eyes, sat up in slow motion and scratched the back of his head groggily. He rubbed his eyes, turned to his nightstand and picked up his phone to check the time...
