Welcome to Threll read the worn wooden sign on the side of the road. Sir Orin had just passed the borders between Threll and the savage lands. As his horse trotted along the path, another sign started to become clearer until he could read it.

Outsider - Chapter 4
Jarl stared up at the ceiling of his room and once again traced one of the hundreds of knotted patterns which had been carved into it. The night seemed to have lasted for an eternity, but now that the gong had sounded through the city, he wished that it could have lasted a little longer. His packed bag was at the foot of his bed. The clothes, dried food and fé he thought he would need for the journey were bundled tightly inside it with military precision.

An Offering Beyond Blood
Laura raised the mug to her lips and sipped slowly, savoring the chocolaty flavor as it washed over her tongue and filled her nostrils with the scent of milk and hot chocolate mix that was probably more sugar than coco. She lay on her old, worn, but still quite loved couch. The cushions had the occasional patch, and most of the embroidery had faded by this point, but the stuffing was still body devouring whenever she laid down for a cat nap and the red had only faded a little bit into a darker red. Today had been wonderful. The sun was coming through her front windows, bathing her with light, and making it the perfect day off for what would have otherwise been a cold and unhappy day.

The Black Witch 11
I spent about two hours scouring the books for information on the god of darkness. While they were widely worshipped being an upper god made directly approaching them hard. With the rarity of contact low as it is the number of people who wrote about their expierences was excidingly rare. That did not dissuade me, and in those two hours I was able to glean a few important bits of ettique. The god of darkness from my readings seemed to be reserved, but a fair being. With the information fresh in my head at the end of the two hours I stood up. "Alright, lets go." The guards had been patient during my study and were ready to go at anytime. We began the mission with my command.

Outsider - Chapter 3
The rain had not stopped for several hours and Astrid could no longer remember what it felt like to wear dry clothes. Every single item was heavy, especially her wolf skin, which weighed down on her like a dead body. The black veil around her face stuck to her like a second skin. Still she carried on, her hammer axe in one hand and her eyes on the wet ground. If the route had once been a road, it had long since been claimed by nature. Thick patches of wild grass knotted with brambles were interrupted only by enormous puddles of muddy sludge. Her boots were covered in the heavy brown mud all the way up to her knees.

Travelers Tale
Loneliness, it was something Sage had gotten used to long before the end of nations. From what she could remember of her parents they were always more amused... no consumed by her brother than herself. If she thought back to being four years old, she remembered when her parents packed both children up for a magical trip to Ralphie's Amusement Park. Coincidentally, there would be no family fun to be had. They had only arrived to the park five minutes before a thick smoke like fog and the sound of gunshots began to fill the air. They didn't know it then, but this was the day of the New Governments uprising. If she closed her eyes this day became all too real again.

The unicorn, and rainbow titanic.
Once upon a time, a very long time ago there were the mousy unicorns, the rainbows, and unicorns who gazed upon the titanic, and screamed with joy, "We want to ride all over the world, like Christopher Columbus, please can we ride all over the sea?" The captain of the ship replied, "yes we can!" Juice World the rapper came through after being resurrected from the grave, and said: "yes we can, and I dare anyone to say we cannot!" Juice World landed on the boat from the heavens, strummed his awesome guitar, and shouted, "All aboard come party with us!" Juice World strummed his guitar and sang, "Get wild with it, and crack a smile with it." Then Juice World had all the rainbows, and unicorns, the captain, and everybody jamming while jumping up, and down on the boat while it was being sped up by a whale in a harness connected to the boat. It became about 6:30 pm, and it was time for dinner, everyone was eating crab cakes, lobster, shrimp, and cauliflower salad, the delightful guest Juice World was dining with them all. They all loved it very much, and suddenly Juice World said, " well Just got a call from ma dukes, it is time for me to fly back into outer space to be with Ma plus the crew, goodbye." All the unicorns and rainbows replied in return, "Goodbye Juice World, we would love to see you again, pretty please, being around you is sheer bliss and a joyous delightful time." Juice World said in reply, "Sure I'll be back better than the terminator, and we will rejoice in it while my mom and everyone delights in screaming my songs, and thank you for welcoming me here, and back." The crew on the boat replied, "Thank you, and you are welcome Goodbye for now." The crew on the boat drank cherry crystal light and cried themselves to sleep because they missed the rapper Juice World.

Outsider
The sun had barely been up for more than an hour, but the heat had already caused a trickle of sweat to run down her spine. Around her, the humans trudged on. Many of them were so tired they could feel their bones creak with every step. After all the weeks of travel, most had learned to walk in the shade provided by the caravans, although that did not stop their constant complaints. A curse at the sand gods was muttered every few moments, followed by a hurried apology, just in case the gods should decide to take the insult to heart. Even those humans rich enough to ride in the caravans complained about the heat. She had already heard several flasks of water being opened and drunk, and as usual it was not the walking travellers that were the first to dip into their daily water ration.

In Five Years!
Day dreaming is fun and can brighten up your day. You can be who you want to be and achieve your goals in your daydream. Five years from now I see myself getting on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the first time with about 15K to 20K books sold. This will put me probably in the mid-90s on the list. Since I am dreaming let’s say #95. I know at this spot on the list I am in a very precarious place. I can be off the list by the next week. However, I still dance around my home like a mad woman. Laughing and giggling out loud with a lot of joy in my heart. I know my next royalty payment will be the largest ever. I can get the local and maybe even regional newspapers to write about me if I move quickly. A week is not a lot of time. The best part I can say I am a bestselling author forever even if I am only on the list for just one week.

The Deception Within
Stay on your current path, dear one. We are astonished and proud of your successful efforts to build an altruistic society. A society that is more aligned with what we in spirit envision for the future of humanity. We were certain that you and your team would be able to successfully usher in a new world and new way of living that no human has ever experienced. We want to assist you with the building of the skyscraper. We will be sending help your way, which will eliminate more than half of the time it will take to construct it. You and the community will be shocked at how this help will come about and it may even bring up some fear for many of you. We want you to know that you have nothing to fear and we encourage you to accept the help that is offered. We do want to forewarn you that when help arrives, a presently covert but malevolent presence among you will begin to make itself known. These beings belong to a group who are on a separate mission from you, an opposing mission. They are working to prevent the forward movement of a heart-centered society on earth. We will keep you on a need-to-know basis as far as this is concerned. For now, continue to move forward. We send our love to you all. Remember, dear one, fear is just an illusion. Until next time.
