Strixes Bianca Side Story Part 3
It had a real name, but the members of the pack called it the Old Den. At one point in time, the members of her pack called it home, but these days it was merely a storage facility.While the Neptune City Council used it as such a place, the Old Den was an important area to the pack. It was here when the first lycans arrived. It was here that those first few founded the Neptune Pack and it was that root where they came from.And the flithly leeches had the nerve ti make this sacred ground their own? It was as close to holy that the Neptune Pack could get to if it became widespread knowledge, it would be bloodshed. The pack would never stamp for it.Even Ro, the bitch that she was, growled when she caught the scent in the Old Den. Sometimes it seemed that Ro had no interest in the pack or the life of the lycan, but she bared her teeth with the rest of them.This was unforgivable. This was war."Blood sucking parasites," Ro spit, glaring down at the compound.Aaron was reasonable when h

Before he knew it, he was trapped. Which shouldn't have been possible. Not that he was any great warrior, but no one should know his truth. He had kept his dark ambitions a secret from the people of his village for years. He would summon a demon into the physical world and harness its power.Then he would truly become unstoppable.No one was any the wiser about his truth. Or so he had thought. He lived in a small, backwater village in the Rhean Chiefdoms, in an area controlled by the timberwolf tribe. He was as backwater as backwater could get.Yet somehow the cult wanted in every part of the world found him. It wasn't at random, either.The cult leader smiled, his teeth rotting in his mouth. "You see, you have a talent that we need. Anyone who can summon a demon into the physical world is far too talented to waste out here... And the other such candidates are too well protected. You will suit our purposes just fine, summoner. Chain him. The way home is long."

(With any luck, this will be my last preview for awhile haha)Chapter XXX: Chance encounterWhisper nodded. "It should take a few days to get the old maps imported. Let's say... Next Wednesday?"If that was the quickest he could do it, then we'd have to wait. It worked out well for us in the long run. Wednesday was a half day and after school, we could head straight over to Joyful Flourish. That was the plan, and after we confirmed it with our families, we agreed to eight solid, uninterrupted hours of play. That was the most we could work out and my friends had to lie and say it was a study group. At times I was glad my mom was out of the country.We could go in blindly, but we weren't here to map out the dungeon. We were there to slay the dungeon boss before anyone else. So we had to open the dungeon wasn't opened up before we had the old map data and we were ready to enter. That was out of our hands. It was completely up to the developers at this point.Before we could start the dun

Interlude: Set's ChampionHe was always there, watching her. No matter where SHE went, that cursed figure haunted her darkness. Even when SHE was in asleep, even when SHE was in Dynasty, he was there. Watching her.He called her his investment and SHE had come to accept that title. Was it any worse than her previous circumstances? SHE was a collared dog, but if her wish could be granted, she would gladly wear his chains."One might think you were unhappy with me," the phantom of her master spoke.SHE ignored him for a moment, aiming her pistol at the monster behind it. "Fire Shot!"The bullet erupted with blue fire, bringing the monster's health down to zero. It shattered and the reward screen appeared, informing her of another level up. SHE dismissed without another thought."Why are you angry at me?" the phantom asked. Even in this virtual world, he couldn't leave her be. "Have I not given you everything that I promised? Once we win, I will even grant your wish.""You say that like
Strixes Louise I
Louise IEmpress Louise was not a patient person by nature. The only person she had even been patient with was Francois, and that was not by choice. He was the only one with a higher station than her in the whole empire, so she couldn't command him to do anything.Everyone but Francois's children and that other bitch he took to bed was fair game though. Which was why the artist being late was unacceptable. Her time was more valuable than his, frankly, and the longer she was made to wait, the more irritable she became.As a Prussian artist in Aquroya, he should be down worshiping at her feet for the patronage she's shown him. The Great War was still fresh in the people's minds and the Aquitese hadn't forgiven Prussia for what they did. If it wasn't for her, he would have to go back to Vienna.Of course, being a Prussian in Vienna was hardly better than being a Prussian in Aquitaine. Prussia had led Vienna to defeat in the Great War, and the Austro-Hungarian-Reimanian empire had barely
Strixes Interlude: The First Victim
Two cars. A luxury car and a sports car. These people lived in a giant house that could only be called a manor. I lived in a low-income apartment building. They were two cars that cost more than I've ever made working at Pizza Kingdom. I drove a short car from the 1980s that smelled like shit. I had one hundred and fifty dollars in my bank right now. Maybe two hundred. These people had peacocks in their yard, watching me like I was a bit of filth on the ground.I hated them. Whoever these assholes were, I hated them. It wasn't fair, I knew that, but goddamn it, I couldn't help myself.I marched up to their driveway and slammed my thumb into the doorbell. The door opened right away, like the person on the other side was sitting there waiting for me.He looked like he was in his twenties. This bastard was younger than me. He smiled when he saw me. "You're Jehan?"What? "Excuse me?""It's nothing. Well, okay, it's just... I didn't expect you to look like this. You could have chosen anoth
Strixes Interlude Catherine
The moon was bright tonight. Catherine hummed as she stared up at the white orb in the sky. When she was human, she used to stare at it, listening to her father's stories about God. She used to believe it hung in the sky because of God's grace.After she was transformed into a monster that would forever be barred from God's heaven, she cursed the moon. It no longer appeared as a sign of God's endless mercy, but as something to mock her by. The most abhorrent, evil sinner could find redemption and forgiveness in heven, but Catherine d'Arc would be sentenced to an eternity of damnation because of what that devil did to her.. No amount of living a good, honest life would save her now.God declared that she was a monster. A demon summoned from the deepest pits of hell. So be it. If she was cursed to never set foot in heaven, she would become the monster that God wanted her to be. She had cut a bloody path through history, feeding and killing whoever she wanted.That was her father speakin

Chapter VII Part One"What? Did you get a real meal? Real food?" Rolo complained, jabbing his fork in my direction. "How is that fair? I'm eating mystery meat out of a can."I sighed. Why did I tell anyone about the general's invitation? Because they'd find out sooner or later, with the balding old man inviting me to eat with him every day. I still hadn't figured out a way to decline without offending him."Fair?" Alphonse said back. "You're supposed to be a knight. War is never fair.""You know what I mean.""I'm afraid I do not."Alphonse and Rolo had a history that I had been unaware of. Port Royale was the colonial capital of Acadia. House Chevalier and House Morel both lived there. Of course, they would know each other."Alright, that's enough," Bian interrupted. Both of them stopped. She pulled a chunk of meat out of her tin and shook her head. "It might not be fair, but that's the nature of Calixte's status. He can't help being born a prince anymore than any of us can help bein

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

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.
