Dreamstorm: The Awakening
Standing on damp soil, Nanu kept his head bowed and his eyes closed while Amber and Asani watched with caution. Neither had any clue about what was going on, and both hesitated to attack. Nanu straightened his neck, then opened his eyes. “Sorry for the delay, but I did give you both time… time to make peace.”

Run with the Pack: Chapter 10
From small, sightless, black-coated, fluffy squiggles of crawling furball, the pups grew into mischievous, playful, squeaking, mini-wolves, looking for adventure and desperate to explore the whole new world outside their dimly lit den. From milk sopping babes that never ventured far from their mother, they started to wean to diets that were part-milk, part regurgitated food.

Dreamstorm: The Awakening
Four o’ clock, this is the exact moment when Hikaru finished getting ready for dinner. With Amber taking up much of their time readying herself, she didn’t finish until thirty minutes after Hikaru, absorbing a grand total of two hours preparing. This agitated Hikaru, the last thing he wanted was possibly being attacked inside Mrs. Poliani’s home. He eyed Amber while she placed one of her high heels on.

Dreamstorm: The Awakening
Hikaru knew immediately, somehow, someone found them. Dashing out of his chair, he made a passage to Antarctica, frantically motioning for Amber to hurry through with his hands. She ran inside, and Hikaru followed her, shutting the portal as he stepped out onto the vast frigid white land. Temperatures measured below freezing, and chilling winds were high, rapidly whipping against Hikaru’s flesh, causing him to shiver while he wrapped both arms around his body, desperate for warmth. He used his hakq, skillfully flowing it all around his skin, and to his amazement, this technique worked, keeping him cozy as though he were wearing an impenetrable coat wrapped around his entire body. Amber watched Hikaru, then mimicked him, using her hakq for heat as well.

Dreamstorm: The Awakening
Hikaru and Amber both came out on top of the building where himself and Kamari had previously been abducted. While standing idly, Hikaru wondered how everything he’d just experienced in the last five minutes could possibly be real, yet constant images resurfacing in his mind were undeniably true. He made a passage to the sidewalk and stepped inside with Amber following close behind. Arriving beside the building they’d just stood atop of, Hikaru sealed the portal shut. Near roadside, many people continued pacing, carrying on with their day to day lives without noticing anything unusual. Hikaru approached a man dressed in vibrantly colored clothes standing near a streetlight, who’d been in plain sight of their recent supernatural appearance.

Fool's Errand - Merlin's Plan
Heavy. That's what I felt. I went over to the table and picked up the scroll. It was sealed with a ribbon tied to it. Expecting it to be light, I was surprised at its heft. Underneath attached to the scroll was a small leather pouch. Coins, I would imagine to help me on my quest. I would look at that later. Tucking it into my jerkin, where my cowl sits round my shoulders, for camouflage, I went over to the door and told the guard, "Call the Lord Chancellor. The King wants to see him."

Run with the Pack: Chapter 9
In the nights and days that came to pass, the growing thaw brought more and more life to the forest. The two wolves sought food with a growing appetite and an ever-pressing hunger. Acting together, but without any conscious planning, Bahr and Elha were able to feed that hunger by acting in concert, whether to hunt live food or to sniff down carrion.

This is a series that I wrote over a year ago while playing on a Valheim community server. The stories have been edited to remove some player tags and player clans to provide privacy to those individuals. If you wish to experience this breathtaking world for yourself, you can check out the official Valheim website here or download the game on Steam here. And no, I'm not sponsored. I just love this game! (:

Run with the Pack: Chapter 8
As Bahr approached Elha, she turned and both wolves stopped, looking at each other from a few paces away. Bahr was still panting from his ordeal and the exertion of fighting off the stranger wolf. There was a deep gash to his shoulder and another wound to his flank. This time, when Bahr approached Elha closer, she did not growl or show her fangs. She licked his muzzle, and he returned the gesture. They were now reconciled to each other, it seemed.
