Strixes Bianca Side Story: Alpha
The Alpha watched them from afar. He wasn't about to let them leep head first into danger, but it was a good opportunity. It would let them prove their worth, but it waa dangerous. "Kenny?"His beta jumped down, appearing from the shadows. "Yes?""Keep watch over them. If they get in over their head, intercede. Otherwise, let them be.""I understand. Do you think they're going to run into trouble?""You never know with the strix.""You don't think they're going to find a progenitor, do you?""I wouldn't know. That's why I'm sending you.""So I'm expendable?""Of course."
Strixes Bianca Side Story: Alpha 2
Following the orders of his Alpha, the beta watched the kids as they climbed through the forest. The beta smelled a very weak scent of a strix. His nose was finely tuned, but most of these kids might miss it.They shouldn't have volunteered, but now that the runts were here, he had a job to do. He could be out having a good day with his mate, but no. She was going to give him hell when he got back, but there was nothing he could do beside telling her to take it up with their alpha."Please don't beat me," he mumbled to himself, watching as the teenagers gathered.
Strixes Warning
The human had the nerve to give him orders, but when the bitch looked up from her screen, she barked; "Inform Alice that we might have a problem."He flexed his fists. How good it would feel to rip through her face with his claws, but Alice would have his balls. And he was going to sleep with her one day. He wouldn't be a man if he let her take them."What do you mean?""The lycan pack has sent a small pack of runners. That must be one of the lesser beta. If they find us, we're going to have a problem. Contact Alice and find out if she wants us to evacuate."
Strixes BACKDOOR PILOT: PART ONE
(I have two or three backdoor pilots for you. I'm considering rebooting this idea and I want to see if any of my readers would be interested)Chapter I: The Goddess AthenaI know you're not going to believe me, but this is the truth. It sounds crazy and insane, but every word I tell you is nothing but the truth. It's going to sound fantastic, insane, unbelievable, and everything else you can say about it.But it's the truth and there's plenty of evidence if you know where to look. I know what you're going to say; "Evidence? Of reincarnation? That's impossible." Not at all. There is plenty of proof throughout history. Take Dorthy Eady, for instance. A British woman who claimed she lived in Ancient Egypt as a priestess in the Cult of Isis. She has given a convincing account of her life before.Then there's the account of the Oklahoma boy, Ryan, who lived in the golden age of cinema as Marty Martyn. James Leininger was a Louisiana boy who claimed to be a World War II fighter pilot shot d

Chapter VII: TutorialThe Primal Vale servers for the Closed Beta would come online all over the world at 12 pm, Pacific Standard Time. Here in Paris, that would be 9 pm. It was a good thing I was home alone because I didn't want to think about what my mother would say if she found out I was planning to pull an all-nighter for a video game. She would throw a fit.If only she knew. Last night, I slept whenever I was tired and played games for twelve-hours. My sleeping habits had been destroyed. At least this time I had a good excuse. The whole thing is about fighting for the world and making sure Set doesn't reduce it to the stone age.In a few minutes, it would be 9 and I would be able to log in for the first time. The waiting was getting me too, so to kill time I logged into my Twitter. I found Stardust Studios' Twitter page. I wasn't surprised to see that Stardust Technologies had bought three failing toy companies and fused them into Stardust Toys.Another Stardust brand? The compa

Chapter XV: First DeathAfter my friends decided it would be a good idea to try the BURNT breed, we were off. I did take some pleasure in watching them chew it, only for Euphie to spit it out. At least Amos and Kanade swallowed it."You better hurry and finish that bread before it loses all of its durability.""What happens then?""The same thing that happens to anything in the game that loses its durability; it shatters."As if to prove my point, the bread she was holding shattered. She had kept hers out the longest, so it was the first to go. Watching Kanade and Amos squirm to finish their loaves before they shattered was very funny.I guided them out of the city and deeper into the Infernal Forest than we had ventured before. There were still Boars, but Wolves and Frenzied Bucks also started appearing.The first one to kill a wolf was me and I got one Wolf Pelt. I could sell it to an NPC, but the markets around the city would be flooded with pelts soon enough, so I decided to keep
Strixes BACKDOOR PILOT: FINALE
Chapter XXIII: First Day of SchoolI didn't know how I felt about being on call with Athena whenever she wanted, but there was no use worrying about the inevitable. I had no power to stop an immortal goddess, so I put it to the back of my mind.This body of mine wasn't used to staying up all night. I would need to start conditioning it... Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after. When I get home, I think I might just sleep.Unless I had homework. Gods, I hope I didn't have homework. Did French schools hand out homework on the first day? Please no.The woman who walked in was pretty cute. She looked like she was in her mid-twenties. "Welcome class, I am Professor Dubois. It's a pleasure to meet you, class."Professor? This was starting to feel a bit Hogwartsy."I will be your Professeure Principale for the remainder of the school year. I look forwards to getting to know all of you."As far as I could tell, Professeure Principale was the French equivalent of a homeroom teacher. In my last go ar
Strixes Selena Side Story Alpha: Finale
Selena Side Story Alapa FinaleThere were two scent trails; one heading to the docks and one back down the side to the city. It wouldn't be long before the pubs caught the scent of them so he had to make a choice; the docks or the city.If the strix were foreign, then he'd put his credits on the dock. Even if they were in Neptune, the pack was in the city. If the kids needed help, the others could come. So he would go to the docks alone. If they followed, then he could help them in the worst case senario.

Wandering Wolves Preview
In the fullness of time, we would come to find that the bandits were the foolish ones. No one in their right mind would call that place home.There was something worse than bandits in those mountains and we were front and center to see it.We had just gotten near the bottom of the mountains after a week of walking. All around the mountain was what looked like an African savanna. There was one long dirt road that ran straight through the tall grass and scattered trees. I imagined a lion laying in wait for us in that tall grass. Yep, we would be taking the dirt path.Euphy was groaning about lunch, and Gwen was all smiles."How about we make camp here? We can cook those rabbits."I'm glad we had Gwen with us. She wasn't just a top-class magician, she could create magic traps. Traps designed for catching something to eat.I looked at the sky. The sun was still high. "I think we should keep moving. We want to find civilization, don't we.""We already have," Euphy reminded me."Civilization

Wandering Wolves Preview
The Girl with Auburn HairIn the early morning light, the valley was beautiful. As the sun got higher in the sky, mist rose from the trees and covered the mountains. It wasn't the color-changing fog of Attea's creation, but a common, white mist. As the sun climber further into the sky, the mist burned away. The lake shimmered in the sunlight as a breeze gently rocked through the valley.There was something ethereal about this place. It felt out of an anime or fantasy book, untouched by human hands. I lived my whole life in San Francisco. When I was younger, my parents took me to see the Redwoods, but that was the only time I left the city. It was a very long time ago. To me, the world had become a concrete jungle.Wind Port was a lot better to look at, but it was still a city. Where ever we were, there wasn't a single sign of civilization. And it was beautiful. This place looked like it was out of a dream.I couldn't get the boar out of my head. Through the night, it haunted me. A dum

Knight Three
When the wolves began to surround her, the Knight expected attack. Instead the wolves turned tail and sprinted up the stairs.In the direction of one of the evacuations. The Knight had started to regard the wolves as young. Gifted, talented, but young. Head strong. Not the kind of beasts that she would have to worry about being clever. At least, not yet. The Knight didn't have any intention of letting them live that long.She underestimated them. She she flew up the stairs after them, desperate to make sure the evacuation wasn't interrupted.The wolve nearest her, the male, turned on her like a dime. He jumped off the wall and tackled her, it's mouth ripping into her shoulder.He tour a chunk out of her skin.

Knight 2
The Knight was starting to feel a little bad about it. It was like taking candy fro. a baby. These wolves were the babies and she was the mean and she was the frightening old hag in this children's story. It wasn't that the wolves were bad. In fact, for being so young (and they were young, if their scents told her anything), they fought extremely well. They had trained to fight as a pack anf there was nothing to critique.It was just a shame they ran into her, a monster so old. One who had feed on so much blood it might as well fill an ocean.Still, she wouldn't underestimate them. As the three wolves positioned themselves around her, she prepared to end their lives.

Knight
Her office was in ruins and now she was pissed. She shouldn't be. She would have to abandon the office regardless, because the wolves decided to come.It all looped back again to the wolves. The Knight was going to have to destroy her office before Sword got here, so she was going to take her agression out on the mutts that caused all of this.The two wolves divided, coming at her from different sides. The Knight kept her eyes on the female, listening intently to the male behind her.When he moved, she heard it and he jumped over the charging beast.The Knight raked her claws across its back, drawing blood.

The Knight
The office was a clean and polished white. It looked even more professional than than the government offices she used to work in. From the office, you had a great view of the arra called the quad. There was a creepy bronze statue of Nathaniel Gilbert, the founder of the city. The Gilbert family were apparently rich as all hell and still contributed so much to the school. And now her office was in pieces. Granted, she was the one who propelled the wolf through, but she wasn't about to admit that.At least she heard a resounding CRACK!The other two hesitated. "Well? Come at me, mutts."

Bianca Continued
When she saw the woman on the stairs, Bianca growled. The scene of the dead radiated off of her. Not the blood of her victims, no. The deep, decaying scent of death that a rotting body produces.There were only two thinga that made that scent: the aforementioned rotting bodies and the strix.Not a strigo ot a striges, but a true creature of the night. Either a knight or a progenitor. The woman smirked as her fingernails extended into claws. She leaped down the stairs and attacked them head on, despite being out numbered.Bianca barked, the sign to scatter, but it was too late. The strix jump tackled her.

The Commander
"Where are the wolves?" she asked."They have entered the tunnels, commander," one of her officers replied."When will they breach the lower levels?""Less than five minutes.""Very well. It's been a long time since I've skinned a mutt. Maybe I'll make a pelt. Continue the evacuation. I want everything out by lunch time.""You think the mutts will make it down here?""I'm not worried about the animals, but Sword is coming. For us and the mutts. This facility is compromised. We're leaving.""Understood, commander.""Alert security. I don't want any of them up there with us. Have them on guard while we evacuate."

Chaos Finale
It came to an end when The Guard was cornered by one of the wolf mutts. In that moment, he thought his life was over.He had chased the female to one of the old board rooms the humans used. The room was small and he was sure it would restrict her movements. With his strength and the pistol, he'd be able to overpower her.That was his original plan. And it semed to work, for a second. He ran straight in after the female bitch in the leg.The only problem was how close to the door she was. She rammed him through the room. She sank her teeth in his skin and ripped off his arm. She would have taken his head off if he hadn't fallen through a window.
