  1. “It was my fault Selvaggio died,” Kieren finally admitted, sounding somewhat bitter. “If he hadn’t volunteered to go on this mission or if he hadn’t stayed behind to protect me in the Murky Marshes, then that thing would never have been able to get to him and he’d be alive now. I probably should have also used the medallion you gave me to destroy it and then he would still be with us too, but I forgot I had it until later.” At this point, the young man was unable to hold back his emotion
  2. It may look that way on the calendar and we've had temps in the 70s during the day, but this weekend we're supposed to drop close to freezing overnight. I moved to GA to avoid the snow and cold.
  3. There are a few possible answers to this question, but to keep it fairly clean... possibly he tangled the key into the hair on his head or he had a subcutaneous implant that would allow him to activate the locking system, so he could leave the key inside the car.
  4. Thank you for the feedback, Fitzhugh. I'm glad you enjoyed this story and I hope you plan to read more of the series.
  5. Congratulations, Addy!
  6. The rear entrance into Thorold loomed up in front of Kieren and his protectors, now that they had finally completed the lengthy first leg of their journey. Each of them was exhausted from everything they had endured thus far, including the few days they had been trapped inside Briarwood. Now, they were looking forward to a decent meal, a warm bath and a chance to sleep in a comfortable bed again. Before that could happen though, they would have to signal the guard on duty and seek admittance,
  7. After a harrowing first leg of their travels, Kieren and the others reach the dwarf stronghold of Thorold. There they meet up with the wizard, Beraut, and continue their journey, but will their mission be successful?
  8. This is very well done and I hope a lot of people read it.
  9. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all those who are Irish, as well as those that just want to celebrate this holiday with them!
  10. I have two recommendations that I haven't seen listed: 1. The Yearling 2. The Bridge to Terabithia. If you aren't familiar with them, I'm sure you can look them up.
  11. Happy Birthday, WingedWolf!
  12. Happy Birthday!
  13. I'll never think of sex in quite the same way again. lol
  14. Happy Birthday, CG!
  15. Thanks for the feedback, Isaac. I'm a little surprised by the comment, since in the past I've been told that I don't have enough descriptions. It's certainly not a bad thing to be compared to Moby Dick however, so I hope you're enjoying the story.
  16. Happy Birthday, AC!
  17. Nimoy, like his character, 'lived long and prospered.' Now, may he rest in peace. I, like DaddyD, watched the Star Trek series from the start, when it first aired. Although we will still be able to see him in reruns of the series and movies, he will be missed.
  18. AAA, I'm glad you have enjoyed the story thusfar. You are correct, in that Qaim was introduced to lighten the mood and add a little humor to the story, but he will also add his own peculiar talents to the group. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
  19. “What were you so afraid of?” demanded Kieren, once they were all on the other side of the barrier. “What would have happened if that covering had remained open?” “Big, ugly beastie live on this side of bushes. If beastie feel air going through the hole, it run and try to get to other side. It hurt Qaim, if Qaim not hurry, but we safe now.” “All right, Qaim, you’ve done well so far.” Kieren praised the creature. “Now, you must show us how to get out of these woods and to the mounta
  20. Congrats, Valkyrie.
  21. After quickly setting up their impromptu camp in Briarwood for the evening, the various companions tried to get comfortable, as the final rays of light began to fade. Oblivious to what the others were doing, Alairic was deep in thought. Something was still gnawing at the back of his mind and it was the same feeling that had been troubling him earlier in the day. He had kept quiet and didn’t say anything to the others at the time, because he didn’t know if he would be able to adequately explai
  22. Beraut was nearly exhausted from his last effort, but he was still coherent enough to realize that he had to hurry if he was going to be ready for the next gathering. There were only a couple of hours left before this all-important session was set to begin, yet he still had to work on his summaries and organize his thoughts for this presentation. Besides that, he also need to bathe and change for the evening’s activities, but he knew if he hurried he might still have time to arrange the hall a
  23. Oh, what a tragic and touching episode! How many more will we lose?
  24. They're obviously not in Kansas.
  25. Garreth, Romaric and Kieren remained sprawled out along the bank of the pool they had just crawled out of. Their bodies were still dripping from the water that had accumulated on them during their recent swim in the pool’s inviting embrace. They also weren't ready to get dressed just yet. They were attempting to allow the water time to roll off their skin or evaporate naturally in the fading sunlight, because they were just too weary to dry themselves. They were not only exhausted from their
