You guys talk of remembering those intermissions but neither mention those were often at the drive-in theater; where the concession stand, restrooms, and projector booth were central to the limited contact with the friends and neighbors that chose to go out that night! 😝

The Machtlos, Kalian, and the lost one monster, Talon, seem to have much in common. Their budding intrigue is more complicated than mere hereditary. It is known by Talon that the little lord has been jilted by family and society, but he also is quick to recognize the young Kalian despite he fact that he has little exposure in outside circles. Strange that Kalian has been unable to find his magik even as he came of age with virtually no magik manifested at 18 years of age; now 20 and frustrated hidden away. Could his magik have been known and bound for other reasons? Who, when, how? Talon was 5 years old when his family arrived under damning scrutiny, hmmm 🤔 making him the same age as Kalian’s brother, Eon, and near brother Lex; but all this means the age difference and the coincidental arrival of The Dark, The Lost Ones, are closely aligned with the birth of Kalian, which appears to have now been found to wield extreme powers of light. The monologue between mama and baby Kalian teaches of not having Light without Dark, and that Dark is beautiful and peaceful; it appears the parallels that Talon of Light and Kalian of Dark may go far beyond this growing personal attraction and intrigue. Note again, that Talon himself did not come into his powers, until much later than his family norm, until the approximate time of birth of Kalian. This is a fascinating mystery, suspense, etc....story; I’m loving it! @DemiurgeThanks for sharing your great talents and personal creation here with us.

Well I can certainly understand that! Lights, camera, is that a meek whine? Hahaha ☺️

Wow, I’m really enjoying the mystery of this tale. The angst of family heritage to live up to with not only parental pressures but that of the siblings too; without the understanding of himself and from others, this personifies so much of the way we humans see ourselves and think others see of us too. Please continue this great start to wonderful growth adventure! Thanks for sharing.

With the scale of the building and modifications this is quickly becoming a vast management challenge. Even the numbers of people occupying the premises and a way for the local fire and rescue to know occupancy, and the cocoons signage and fire pass keys. The front door and chow hall could be open to walk-ins but much like a hotel requires keys for floor and elevator access, the sign-in residents should have their simple hotel style plastic key card; any lost keys generate new keys and updated cancellation codes. The clinic would also be auto alerted when a pod is occupied but the kid hasn’t exited for food or showers. Many parental style observations could be made using the more secure pass keys that also allows tracking food, laundry, occupancy, and socialization. Abnormal observations get reported the the appropriate supervisor; Mama Jenkins, Senior Boy, Doc, etc,...

Hold this chapter....WHAT? The shame of it all! You wisely came to your senses and posted for the betterment of the masses...THANK GOODNESS! 😅

Oh what a wonderful chapter of Godly Tales... ********* Crossing the body’s arms, Bol closed his eyes for a moment. “I am aware of you and Vincent's wishes, but I'm going to restate my dictation. This human needs to remain alive. My brothers and sisters have kept watch over him for a couple of years now, as well as Stefan." Bol paced past the trio of shifters and turned abruptly. The deity crossed his arms. "Every few years, my sister receives a Destiny that must be carried out. Sometimes, as such this case, we must intervene in the human world, in order to maintain balance of the world. This foretold Destiny...appears to be unknown to us, including Aliz. Simply put…" Dropping his arms, Bol stared down Mason. "There is no foretold champion of this upcoming battle. But we can view the aftermath of the Fate after each human has won. Bol stepped back as Dave nearly fell to his knees in astonishment. "Your knowledge is correct. We cannot inject ourselves in this matter in a forceful way. We may only push certain factors into place." Looking between the three shifters, Bol became stern with his warning. "Failure is not an option. It is under my celestial jurisdiction to maintain order of life's natural balance. Is that clear, shapeshifters?" "You briefly mentioned it, but you gave me the title of friend. No one, of this plane of existence, or any other, has done such a thing." He grasped the hand firmly as Mason admired the warmth of the contact. "I saw through your soul as you said the word. You truly meant what you spoke. You are certainly a distinguished individual, shapeshifter. I recommend you hold to that...friend." Mason's smile grew in size as he let the compliment course through his veins. "I know you're a God and all, but if you need anything, you know where to find me. Just try not to hurt my mate like that again." A swift exhalation left Bol's nose. "And I will hold to that promise of yours, Mason. Both of them. As needed, I can possess Vincent's body, but it will no longer require him to go through such suffering." "So...you can now slip in all willy nilly?" "That is correct, but I shall only do so when I deem it necessary. Consider it a partial connection to his mind. Should he ever need to speak with me, he only needs to pray and I can converse with him in his mind.” ******* So the God can not forcibly implement his wills, but now he has friends in them, and they in him...Vinnie only need ask or pray...hmmm, in godly speak that is a huge loophole of cooperation and assistance in my mind! Hopefully, Vinnie will understand and the team will be prepared for the time and necessity to call on the big guy! Whether they truly understand the impact and scope of this alliance, they have forged an alliance of “Godly” proportions, but have volunteered for what the God have ask of them! 😝 This could be extra fun.

Many agree that 2020 will go down as the year from hell. Though tough to find the good within, we will endure what remains; and then upon reflection, I feel we will see the many outgrowths from challenges answered. I too have experienced the funk of the Covid confines but we are emerging as more is understood and as people are now demanding self determination. Hang in their mate, I suspect for many your works are too complex and intimidating to freely express comments with public confidence or without the fear of embarrassment from the many nuggets possibly missed or not yet connected; but yet the number of followers and views still confirm a level of interest far much beyond incidental. So ironically, the blueprint complexities of your works contribute to low yield of public comments, but the appreciation and respect remains.

😂 What? Not real, I, Torsten, can’t go out without tripping over... A green dragon tail, A blue dragon tail, A black dragon tail, A white dragon tail, as the boy dragon Araziah, laughs while he confirms Torsten’s adamant witness to the very real Dragon Tails (Tales?) lol, as the mischievous and elfishly Androgynous dragon Sebby, innocently sports his shiny onesie that displays his pert tail and horny antlers...hmmm. There goes the neighborhood. HAHAHA 🤪 These are not the dragons you’re looking for! Yes, you brought forth the cheer, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW 2021!

Why does Fergus and Mitchell seem like the two sides of the same coin? Such a sad tale of love betrayed; it’s a wonder Jimmy hasn’t gone feral as his distrust could easily have kept him isolated; forever, except now destiny brings Sawyer and a pack to be won over.

It’s like the beer list in a Chinese pub; zing, ping, pau, zing tau, ...with the American finale...SPLAT! 😂 Are you posting again now??? Are we ther yet? lol 😝

Not many people could handle that your young Alpha Wolf puppy has bought home a God of Order. Ironic, that the God of Order had things in total chaos! lol 😂 So, there are these three Alpha Wolves on a rooftop, one says to another...”I’ll be right back...” Then there’s these two powerful Shadow Mages speaking from the shadows, one speaks a truth but it is tainted in deed, while the other barks a challenge long held in the balance, but yet another remains veiled in mystery of alliance or is that betrayal? Many can hope for help of the Devine, but possession seems awkward and a little mistimed. Is it council or conference or what’s to be conferred; God only knows, as the Alpha Wolf puppy is a High Mage 🧙‍♂️ of surprise. Young Vinnie carries burdens, much from a child, but could it be the biggest is the burden of Pure Destiny spawned from the scars? An Alpha found his Mate, Destined for sure, but for what path is destiny, when Mage Magic and Deities are implored? @astone2292; Suspense is a killer as murder is mystery, please bring us progress as this fecal matter is deep and it’s hard to breathe!

Build it, they will come, feed them, they will come, clothe them, they will come; just one brought within the fold, then, allowed to return for others, allowed to help feed the others, allowed to bring shelter to others, will be a much stronger testimonial than anything short of the physical, and time proven experience. 🙏

@Buzhas posted comments back to back...could it be he’s hopeful for you to reciprocate? 😝 Most excellent idea Buz! lol Yeah, Stefan sure is a shady shadow mage character; he disarms by speaking smoothly, but he ain’t a renown international criminal and murderer cause of being nice. He sure didn’t hesitate to put a contract on Vinnie for that ambush in the streets; ambushing thugs don’t speak of someone with class, or trustworthiness, but he didn’t use magic or weapons there either, did he?! Yep, that fecal oscillator is about to hit turbo speed! Splat a tat zing...holy shee aet! Hmmm, Kaplan and The Electric Panda...definitely sounds like a story of...tragic comfort??

Hahaha, I had to go back to see I had overlooked that! 😂 Yup, that was me when younger, and to some extent even now...especially if I’ve been drinking any (not drunk, but socially relaxed 😎).

You have officially earned your “Po”lice Detective 🕵️‍♀️ credentials for this undercover work; btw, do you see dead people? 🤣 So Devine is your keen awareness!

Now I’m an odd ball in that I’m not a coffee drinker, but I have an elderly mom that is a life long multicup/day disciple of the bean. Only mentioned briefly but reinforced by a small community spirit of close neighbors, walking to work, and the general small store familiarity made this all the more heart warming as the social aspect often associated with the bean would bring us closer. The informal adoption of the nearly legal adult would have probably been supported with a living will and power of attorney to make sure the proper next-of-kin were formalized and respected in emergencies, but the family chose him and his heart chose them. This story is so close and dear to me, as a neighbor teen boy of mine lost his dad to suicide several years ago. He came to me as a sophomore looking for career advise as he was trying to find his way in life. This turned in to me helping him keep his car running despite frequent issues. This bonding in relationship helped him have security and trust to stay focused when he could have easily made some terrible decisions in a non supportive and dysfunctional family environment. I proudly claim him as my godson, share financial accounts to help him build credit and manage financial responsibility, and I cherished every phone call update of his latest accomplishments. His financial responsibility and credit rating has allowed him options, his near completion of degree Major and three Minors reflect his total commitment and focus on education and career, but most of all is that he is part of my life and I am in his. When he calls to discuss his life decisions and goals, I can’t help but feel anything less than pride in my son! Thanks for sharing and reminding us of the good within us, and the exponential rewards when we share our hearts with those needing a little mending to be whole again.

You’ve done it again, Laura. Even as a free spirited chef branching into a new genre recipe of: One part murder, two parts drama, three parts comedy, four parts thriller, five parts mystery, Six parts supernatural, and Seven parts love. Mixed, stirred, shaken, and served by @Laura S. Fox; it’s found to be full of the warmest flavors of love a story could possibly expect to have being born of murder. Even the dearly departed was gifted Mason to convey his eternal love, but in spirit also his was the power to gift the power of love. Unfortunately, or fortunately for our favorite couple, the absolute power corrupted absolutely, with greed (and a little Devine Intervention) destroying the all powerful and invincible Levine Goldman; ironically, falling before the blob of fat or Fatso Po, the namesake of the improbable savor having been reborn as sidekick Billy. Thank you, Laura, for another wonderful adventure of love ❤️.

I know this is fictional but that these sad realities do occur in real life; so sad, that a young life can be so disposable and unwelcomed. Even in fiction this brings tears to my eyes, but when considering the real lives tossed it brings so much anger; any animal deserves dignity in life, but a human child abandoned make me want to take the adult, once stripped of all but what the child would have, for a long one way trip to a reality check adventure in learning. Argh!

Now the stage crew is working hard to understand the setting, will Stefan hold to his word or could he possibly skirt his own precedence? A very nice back story on both The Electric Panda and Beta Kaplan; very en-lightning! The Panda did so cherish his scarf, and I’m sure the ex-Alpha found his fatal error shocking! Zap, oh dang, I did it again!

It’s them foreign paper sizes on our printer trays and in the software print options! LMAO 😂 I understood the message, but I lived across the big sea for several years; where letter and legal sounds more like a document template or salutation to them! 😆 Now think, domo arigato with a southern drawl, oh yeah, you should hear my southern Japanese! ROTFLMAO!

Vincent’s fight?; pledged to pack, pack to him, Alpha Mate, Pack Alpha, a pack of Wolves, with...Lions, Tigers, and Bears? lol Yeah, it’s Vinnie’s fight alright...where and how do we help protect our pack, Alpha(s)? Haha Ok, the major trouble shooter for around the world is........a Panda? Lololol, OMG! I was flashing back to the Ghost Busters, where the demonic ghost stoled your worst nightmare and turn it into a giant of your demise; enter...the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! Really...a Panda? Ok, Kung Fu Panda it is! Another fantastic, entertaining, and suspenseful addition to this wonderful tale!

Well now, hidden within, we hear only an Alpha can display the eyes in human form, and also bring forth their wolf while in human form, but likewise we witnessed the Alpha Mace ask/demand to return his human to the forefront, which then appeared to force a human transition; but did it? We now have a new breed of Alpha forming by birth of turning a human, a mage, a mage of multiple affinities. But hidden within this birth is a deep need to use the forged strengths of the Alpha form, while still needing to wield the skills and affinities of the Mage. Mage Alpha Wolf Vinnie..., could it be that our very powerful, very unique, and with surprisingly quick morphing transitions, Alpha Mage is truly that; developing into a true shared entity of an Alpha Wolf Mage? Tremendous power would be burned as a hybrid, but that hybrid will also; store energies of a Mage; wield powers of a Mage, but likewise carry the physical strength and healing of the wolf. Vinnie has to be fast as a Mage especially, but he can not train a separate wolf persona to be or act quickly as a skilled Mage. Likewise, the speed requirements do not allow the wolf/human transitions to be done quickly without tremendous risks and exposure. But what if the jointing of Vinnies turn out to allow Vinnie to come forward without forcing a return to human form, or that the wolf can exists in a shared forward presence that works as a seamless team within either form; human or wolf? The eyes may flashing rapidly of colors to became a distraction to his enemies just trying to figure which mode he is in! lol Just my rambling thoughts of this more highly evolved Magical Mage Alpha Wolf Destined Mate...

Oh, great, next year is what...3 weeks now? Robert’s RESCUE? Hahahaha
