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."
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.
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."
(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
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
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.
