The process had been easy, almost too easy, considering how oddly things had been of late.
“We want you to know that we will follow you to the ends of the Earth and back.” Gina whispered into Alexa’s ear, ju...

Monday - Just After Midnight
It should come as no surprise that all eyes were on Alexa and her pack. The fact that by now everyone in her pack had completed their first dungeon run and everyone had their noted Dungeon Runner title, along with every ...

The Changes
The question was innocuous enough, one that any concerned sister would ask, yet looking at her hair, Maria could not herself determine what was causing the sudden change in her hair. Her hair, much like her sister’s, had been a deep silky-smooth shade of midnig...

A loud blaring sound carved its way into Maria’s peacefully sleeping brain, and suddenly centuries of survival instincts kicked in, sparking into life and providing the defensive measures needed to continue endu...

Alexa and Luke both didn’t quite know what exactly happened, nor how they got to this point. But somehow both Alexa and Luke had been roped into a pack wide movie marathon in honor of Jim, their father. Mother was still on a plane, likely ...

The dragon was humanoid in shape and appearance, that alone was enough to give Alexa a slight pause while looking at the creature. Furthermore, the creature stood up on its hind legs, the only sign that something was amiss about it, was the way its tail w...

Alexa sprinted forward into the dragon’s chamber, followed by Alexa, and another Alexa, and still more Alexas. As they all charged forward, there was one that clearly moved slower than the rest, one that had been denied the attribute bonuses that the others ha...
