Chronicles of Aeryllia: Genesis The Two Prophecies
As I arrived at the entrance to the Arcane Academy, I considered folding the map up to tuck into my coin pouch. Feeling how brittle the parchment was, I decided against this course of action.The market district was just down the street, so I headed back that way. I spotted the messenger place. "Ok, slight change of plans." I ducked in through the doorway.It was a small office space consisting of a small front parlor about twelve feer wide and eight feet deep. The front area was dominated by an eight foot long counter, where an ancient gnome was perched upon a high stool. He greeted me with a bright smile. "Good midday to you! How may I assist?"I nodded in return. "I'm in need of three runners, on a perpetual basis. They will need to accompany me wherever I go, and be ready to sprint off with messages at any given time." I wasn't sure if they could provide me with such service, but hey, it never hurts to ask.He nodded grinning ear to ear. "You could have saved yourself a lot of bre
Chronicles of Aeryllia: Genesis Shaping the Future
I exited the temple, seeing my entourage, but not really seeing them. I began walking towards the eastern gate, and my entourage fell into step behind me.I glanced up at the sky as I walked through the gates. The second sun was about to set. I looked out at the clearing, but it was anything but clear now.It sounded like a battle of massive scale was under way. I could hear shouts, metal ringing against metal, hammering, shouted orders, and there were hundreds of men training. Workers were busy constructing a wooden palisade around the training grounds. Fires were burning to give more light, and hundreds of tents had been pitched in the furthest corner.Suddenly a young officer, apparently a trainer shouted, "No! No. NO! Not like THAT!" He ran over to the young recruit. "Like THIS!" He proceeded to demonstrate a maneuver, then stepped back. "Now try is again!"It was impressive to say the least. All of these recruits, and even starting to build fortifications, as well as training bei
Chronicles of Aeryllia: Genesis Full Swing
When I awoke, I was slightly disoriented. My dreams had been troublesome, and I was having trouble separating the fiction from the reality. I thought to pull my hand up to my eyes, but I couldn't move my arm.As I blinked away the sleep, and my vision began to clear, I saw the curtain of flowing white hair and realized that Kee'ra had actually slept in my arms the entire night.She was tucked in and curled up against me in a manner where I could just tuck my chin and gaze down to see her face. I gently lifted the curtain of her hair away from her face, and I could see that she had a smile on her face as she slept.I thought of poor Sin'rae, and how she had likely cried herself to sleep, and it made my chest tighten slightly. By all rights, it should have been Sin'rae lying asleep in my arms. To be fair, and not meaning any greed, it should have been both of them.I didn't want to have to get up and go out there and see her face...the accusing glare...or have her turn things weirder th
Chronicles of Aeryllia: Genesis A Diplomatic Mission
A servant gently shook me awake. "My Lord, your cohort is mustering."I groaned softly and rubbed my eyes as I sat up. I went into the bathing room and freshened up, then came back out to dress in my armor. I dismissed the servant, double checked that I hadn't overlooked packing anything essential, grabbed my pack, then headed out to the main hall.Everyone was gathered as I arrived. I sent Bann to let Wayland know to set up the wagons. "Stay with him to help get it done, Bann."Bann nodded and dashed out the back entry.I had Tay'La inscribe a parchment to take to the King, detailing that I needed a small pouch of doubles with an assortment of gems for purchasing things along the way, and a small chest with a specified amount of gold and gems as a form of tribute, in case the humans demanded one. I suggested that the chest be locked with a scrambled glyph and trapped with an incendiary device. I rolled up the parchment, sealed it with red wax, and pressed it with the signet ring that

I walked with William over to the supply wagon, and began to outfit him. I also provided him with one of the falcons. I instructed him with the proper commands so that he could use it both for hunting and sending messages."I understand that the Skulls have an uncanny ability to find their targets. Can you tell me how they do it?" I asked.William nodded and pulled out an amulet he wore beneath his tunic. "These amulets."I looked closely at it. "Those are ELVEN runes!""An elven mage created them." He said without understanding the significance."Hold that thought!" I turned towards the group, "Tay'La, come here!"Tay'La arrived with a look of alarm. "What? What's wrong?"I glanced at William. "Show her."William held out the amulet with a confused look. "What's the issue...?"Tay'La scrutinized the amulet as her eyes widened in shock. She yelled over to the group. "Neria! Come here!"Neria came rushing over, and Tay'La looked at the amulet Tay'La was pointing at. "By the Twelve!" Th
Chronicles of Aeryllia: Genesis Killing Time Is Killing Me
On Earth, most hotel rooms have doors that automatically lock when closed, and the maids knock before entering. Sometimes they will even ask you to step out of the room while they tidy it up for you. It's not unheard of. but it's rare for the maid to actually be receptive to your sexual advances. They're on a schedule, they have a job to do, and half of them aren't very attractive.On Aeryllia, there are several reasons to make sure that your inn room door is locked before going to sleep. You could wake up to find things missing, you might wake up to a slit throat, or you might wake up to a beautiful girl riding your morning wood. An unlocked door is an invitation, and the custom of an Aeryllian maid is to first try the door handle, and then knock if it's locked. After Megz left last night, I forgot to lock my door.In the past two days, I had been shot by several poisoned arrows, stabbed, cut, clawed, tackled, bruised, tossed around like a ragdoll by a couple of pissed off werebears,

Regular soldiers would be arriving late tonight, or early tomorrow morning. The King had expressed gratitude for my revelation, and ensured me that the corrupted advisors were being 'dealt with'. He also liked what I was doing, to deal with the assassins guild, and saw no reason to stop annihilating them. He had granted William a full pardon for any crimes he was accused of as partial reward for his part. It was all good news that lifted my spirits greatly.There was a fortification near the edge of town. beside the burnt out baron's estate. The guards who had been stationed there were the baron's lapdogs, and died along with the baron.We spent the day cleaning up the barracks to make it ready for occupancy by the retinue of troops that would be arriving. Stone Keep had many such fortifications at each small town, as well as spread along the border, but under the ill advice of S'Jevv and L'Rall, they were mostly understaffed and in disrepair.

I had given instructions for preparations to begin very early. The second sun hadn't even risen yet, when the sounds of wagons being moved around, orders being called out, and hammering woke me up. We gathered in the common room of the tavern for a big breakfast, and the innkeeper had even thoughtfully given us sliced mutton, cheeses, several loaves of freshly baked waybread, and sliced vegetables to make sandwiches with later.Magistrate T'Vann had already squared away troops, scheduled patrols, and even had a work crew breaking ground for the new Citadel by the time we loaded up our wagons. I was fairly impressed with how efficient he was. Darmon and Sylva gave him hugs in farewell, and we were rolling.

Athena Cont'd 2
While Athena waited for those influential orcs who favored peace and unity to be located, sent for, and ordered to travel to First Camp, she had improvements made to her hut. The main room was tripled in size, taking on the characteristics of a large hall rather than just a simple hut of mud and sticks. The mud and sticks hut had been surrounded by great walls of large quarried stones, which were mortared together and placed with great care given to the shapes and sizes of the stones. In fact, harsh punishment, even death, was promised to anyone producing stones that didn't meet certain standards. Suddenly, the elven and human slaves had a use beyond just food, mundane labor, and breeding. Although it seemed like the humans in particular were the prominent quarrying experts, the elves proved to be the superior architectural influence. Orcs worked side by side with the slaves. Any who took offense were severely beaten to be an example for the others until everyone fell in line. Over t

Athena Cont'd.
[Aeryllia, About 5 years ago.]As soon as they had arrived through the portal, Corvash went to work gifting Athena with his blood.Corvash cut her hand with his blade, then cut his own, grasping her hand with his and forcing his blood into her hand. "I will not lie. The transformation will be painful and surprising." In years to come, she would remember that this was one of the few times that he actually DIDN'T lie to her.The pain was excruciating. She first whimpered as the pain began, but as her whole body became wracked with intensive pain upon pain, she screamed in agony, falling to the ground and curling into a fetal position as every fiber of her being reeled in agony. Eventually, she passes out from the torment as her body continued to change.Her skin took on a green hue, her full breasts shrank some, but became firm and perky, and she gained severe muscle mass. Her eyes changed from a bright blue to a striking color of emerald green, and small tusks grew from the corners of

Book Two: The Dark Side Chapter 1: Athena
** An Introduction and Forward by the author. **Greetings, Readers. Hopefully, you have been enjoying the story so far. For those who have stuck with me so far, thank you. I do apologize that the first 8 to 10 chapters contained so much gratuitously graphic erotica. For those who hung in there hoping to see it come to an end, your prayers have been answered.This story was never intended to be an erotic fantasy with nonstop sex scenes. For those who were looking forward to more of it, I am sorry to disappoint you, but hopefully, you will still enjoy the rest of the story for what it is. I always looked to authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen King, and Dean Koontz are inspirations, with a heavy emphasis on the works of Tolkien.There will still be instances of characters getting to points where they are going to have sex, but as I have done in the past few chapters, I will continue to discreetly fade to black, rather than giving the graphic details of what happened during the encounte

Forging the First Alliance
I told one of the guards to go and bring our young guests to the meeting hall. He arrived a few moments later with the two siblings in tow."I have some good news, and some bad news." I began.Freya spoke first, "And what would that be? Are you going to say my father died or something?" She rolled her eyes with a haughty expression."Well...I actually meant to break it to you more gently, but since you seem to think this is all a big joke..." I opened the lid on the chest with the King's and Duke's heads in it."Those are fake! This is some sick twisted prank!" Jared exclaimed.I allowed the crown to ring my finger as I twirled it in the air. "Oh, it's no prank. I wouldn't mourn them too much though, if I were you..." I nodded to Tay'La, who set the recording gem down on the table.I touched the gem, and it played back everything that happened, everything that their father had said and done, right up to me ripping his head from his shoulders. I grinned darkly as I watched them go pale,

The Battle for Bordertown
Tam shook me awake about half an hour before we needed to put our plans into motion. I approached the gathering soldiers. Some were just kids. Others were almost too old...but every single set of eyes that I looked into were eager for this engagement. The time they had to spend waiting just irked them even more. This was good. That simmering fury in their veins would serve them well, and very soon."I don't have any grand speeches for you. You all know the stakes, and failure...is NOT an option." I strolled along the front row of soldiers as I addresses them."In a few minutes, I will walk up to that door with this chest of gems, pretending to be agreeing with their demand for tribute." I turned and faced the men with a grin. "I have no intention of letting them keep this chest. When you see the blood start sprayed, you make your move."I looked at the archers in the back. "When that blood sprays, you loose arrow after arrow on their archers. Black arrows for a black night."I saw the
