The Five Paralangua: Part Four (special preview)

My heart is hammering out of my chest. No. Beyond that. My heart is hammering in space and changing Earth’s rotation. I was wading in knee deep water, entering the depths of the labyrinth. Cold mud and stone greet my toes. Meanwhile, ahead of me, there is a vastness I cannot describe. The labyrinth is one of the greatest mysteries the Festival of Ash provides, and I am alone inside.

The paralangua will begin their hunt now. But I am the sole prey this festival. Usually, the five chosen paralangua will enter along with some other hope...

The Five Paralangua: Part Three (rough draft)

It had been a day or so since I had seen Solomon and Venus, so I was expecting Chandra at any moment. Considering what I had gleaned from him at the meetings, and even Venus’ warnings, it was obvious he was going to be a handful. But so far, I had been enjoying these meetings, so I wasn’ going to worry about it for too long.

Every so often I like to take my goats down to the river that runs behind the farm. They get to play, splash around, and I swear the water makes their milk taste so much better. I also like to go down there and...

When I did go to the library it was nice and sunny out, but there were some clouds on the horizon that were growing darker by the moment. The library itself was cool and quiet, there wasn’t a soul around, none that I could see anyways.

“Alright little book, time ot put you back,” I murmured to myself as I took the third book of the Alyssa series from my bag. “Back onto your little shelf you-” I stopped, dead cold in my ...

The Five Paralangua: Part Two (rough draft)

I noticed looks at the store while I was getting some supplies. Usually, the farming supply store was one of those places people paid no mind. Everyone was busy with their owns lives, business, animals. But today I could tell people were paying that mind. I suppose word had gotten out that Stella Riley was the only chosen this year. I quickly checked out, never one to enjoy that sort of limelight upon me. Why I was one of the chosen, I’ll never quite understand.

Once I got home I simply sat in the truck. My hands slipped front he ste...

Once in a while, Reverence will receive a large crate from friends who are outside the village. It’s usually filled with all sorts of things, ranging from basic supplies, to special fabrics, ceramics, and sometimes jewelry. But more than often, it has a small collection of books inside. It prompted Reverence to build a small library sometime ago and set it up in the family portion of the village.

I often take the kids there whe...

Life Update: Taking a Small Break

This is mostly for my commissioners, my Patreon shouldn’t be affected at all while I go a small break.

Let me explain. I’ve recently had a small uptick in my anxiety. I’ve had it under control for a few months now, but recent events in my life and family have caused it to come back.

If this sounds silly, I understand. But when I work for my commissioners, I want them to have the best version of me and the me who will work hard to give them the absolute best story I can provide. When I’m having anxiety I’m not myself, a...

The Five Paralangua: Part One (rough draft)

If it’s not the rooster who wakes me up, it will be one of the Golden Girls. Lately, I’ve been able to squeak in some extra sleep during the mornings, but today the Golden Girls aren’t having it. They’re causing a fuss in the yard, and as I roll over towards my window I can see Sophia glaring inside at me.

“Hold your horses, girls!” I fussed as I stepped out of bed. “I’m getting up!”

They’re making a racket out there, and I have to wonder if old lady Murphy’s mastiff has come sniffing around the fence again....

Kerwyn the Fae (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster

There was a castle north of your village perched upon the rockiest cliff of the mountain. It had been there as long as you could remember, as long as anyone could remember really. It sat up there as a decaying statue. No one had been in or out in decades, only birds flew back and forth, and only thorns grew around it.

“Stop staring! We’ve got chores to do!” Your sister snapped at you.

“Right,” you gasped. You followed along after her, taking one last glance at the castle over your shou...

That's huge! That's amazing!

Jasper the Bugbear: Part Four (rough draft)

The reward money sits on the desk, untouched. Ever since it was handed to me by Greta (who hand delivered it from some elder in the Bog of Recoil), I’ve not been very interested in it. Jasper has been sleeping a lot, recuperating from what happened to him in the swamp.

I’ve kept to his side, holding his hand or brushing back the fur from his face. When he does wake up, I tend to his wounds and fix him his meals. I try to give him space, but when he’s asleep I almost want to curl inside him to know he’s alright.

Jasper the Bugbear: Part Three (rough draft)

My last post was much nicer than this one. The view was better, the people were nicer. Here, I had a brick wall over a piss soaked alleyway to look at. I wasn’t even in walking distance of anything good, just some seedy bars that even I wouldn’t dare set foot into. The last place was small, but at least I was close to good food. And of course I was close to the bookstore.

How long has it been since I was last there? Basking in the warmth of the place where the scent of the pages was just as strong as the tea being brewed in the bac...

Alcide the Vampire: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monster

I was found in Alcide’s chamber, no one knew I went to see the others again. Renata came and fetched me, taking me away from the resting Alcide and back to my own room. She took care of the chipped polish, removing the old and putting on a fresh new layer lacquer.

“Look at this.” She took out a nail file and worked on my nails, filing them down to match the broken one. “What did you do to make this happen?”

“Probably happened when Alcide f...

Rhys the Lizardman (rough draft)

It had been windy and overcast all day. Dark clouds hung upon the horizon while pale gray covered the sun overhead. It was no surprise to you when it started raining. The area cleared out, no one was on the road outside, and everything was veiled in fog. It gave the sense of abandonment, but really, the lights inside houses reassured you there was still life about.

Despite the feeling of nothing to do that rain brought about, you set about some busy work that would help the day go faster tomorrow. You took out the large blocks of soap ...

Alcide the Vampire: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monster

(dark romance, tw blood)

I wish I was like the others. This thought comes to me as I stare out towards the foot of my bed. I would like to dream forever as the others do, to sleep perchance to wake. I remove myself from bed, setting my feet down upon the cold floor. There are no windows to speak of here, but they place curtains upon the wall as if to mimic one.

I am not alone long, I am never alone long. My attendants are many, but they are more like guards. They assure I look my best, t...

Zaejin the Troll & Perik the Room Monster: Part Two (rough draft)

“Shit,” you grumbled under your breath. “I think I fucked it up again.” Under the cover of an old dish towel was a bowl, filled with an unimpressive and somewhat liquidy lump. You tossed the towel aside and dumped the lump onto the floured countertop where it spread out rather than maintaining a doughy shape like it was supposed to.

“I thought I knew how to do this,” you grunted.

The days were becoming cooler, and the idea of baking bread didn’t seem so unappealing as it did during the overly hot summer. The cold wa...

Art the Orc (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster

The visage of the old place looked like it had once been a gas station. There was one of those big metal awnings and signs that gas pumps had once been outside. But everything else looked like the art supply store it was. The window was painted, done up with flowers and a flourishing font, but it hadn’t been touched in ages and was chipping and weathering away.

The old place had seen better days, you could tell. But you were excited to tackle such a special project with your own two hands.
