The Prophetic Herald
Once again, Luke felt like something was off. While he had spent the better part of the afternoon next to his sister, he still couldn’t help but feel like the other shoe was going to drop. Part of him wondered if they should even go to the Halloween p...

Complete Foundation
To say that Lykan was motivated to continue to improve was an understatement. When he constantly had to compare himself to his partner, to the spark of inspiration that constantly forced him to push father, to aim higher. She was amazing in ...

Alexa made her way back in time to witness the last period of the day. Surprisingly the guest lecturer that seemed to think herself as far too important to teach a class of sophomores was still around. Everyone remained quiet as they watched Alexa make her...

The Demonstration
“What the heck happened to you?” Luke asked.
It was a fair question, one that Alexa admittedly should answer. The only problem was, she realized the explanation would be taxing. Well explaining what happened would be relatively easy, but the demo...

Something was off. No matter how Luke went about his morning, he couldn’t help but feel like he was missing something. He checked his homework, which was done as well as could be expected. He did have a sister who just got back from being attacked by a...

Finally, A Joke I Will Never Be Able to Tell
