Crossing the pass proved to be uneventful as they steadily descended from the highlands to the lowlands. This led them to Mog Marsh, a shallow basin so expansive it hadn’t been entirely mapped. “We’re here!” Trixi announced. “We are?” Lysander questioned, looking in all directions. “The edge of my tribe's territory. From here on, we go by boat. There should be some hidden in the grass somewhere.” With Lysander putting her...

Heat tumbled off the cascading granite spires defiantly pointing toward the sky. Few creatures called the badlands their home. It was dry, hot, and contained almost no natural resources. Nearly no one ventured into this region but the rare intrepid adventurer or those needing a shortcut to more habitable lands, making it even stranger to see a group of four travelers trekking across this barren stretch of land. "I'm gonna...

After dinner, Devin retired for the night. His footsteps faded up the stairs and left the girls alone with Ellyn and her father. Ellyn sat down after having finished cleaning up dinner, sewing kit in hand, and set to work mending some shirts. Without pausing, she asked Devin’s ladies, “So, how’d you two enjoy your day on the farm?” “It was so much fun! I'm sad we can’t stay longer,” Azalea replied as she unbraided her hai...

Gylan exited the barn to find Erinnah while Ellyn took Priscillia’s milk, which she had set down earlier, to a work table to process and document. “Um, Life-mate?” “Yes, Azalea?” “I’m sorry. I sorta made a mess of your clothes,” she said bashfully. Azalea stood up, revealing a large wet spot on his shoulder Devin ran a finger across it and tasted it. “I don’t know how you manage to produce something so sweet, but maybe we...

Why oh why did he have to go and admit that? It wasn’t like he could afford to not tell his mother about his absence if his counselor's threat was anything to go by, but he could have broken the news in a less seemingly flippant manner. It was one thing to not care about something, it was quite another to lead with that fact. Honestly, it wasn’t like he particularly wanted to tart the truth up, but he also didn’t want to...

Michael spent the whole night wondering what to do. Something had obviously happened. Something big and possibly but probably really, really bad? He didn’t know! He almost called emergency services as he stared at his new phallus when he discovered it. It was wrong. But all the same, he was too paralyzed with shock to go through with it. So he just stared at his phone for a long while as his mind worked at 120% of its nor...

“The world that we live in didn’t come into being out of nothing,” Mrs. Hedwig said as she paced around the classroom, “It came about as the result of the decisions of a few people. It also came about as the result of the decisions of many people. And It also came about as the result of no decision.” She was a porcupine woman, or a “Pinny” as the slang word for her kind was. She was a woman in her thirties, married, and w...

Kael fidgeted, anxious to see just what would come of the meeting, a young man with neatly trimmed hair. His father stood before him, taking the lead in the meeting, though it was the first time he had ever been allowed to stand so close to the anthro ambassador of their closest neighbours, a chameleon with a particularly noble look about his strangely rounded face. Long robes fell to the floor around his ankles and he tr...

Nomax shifted his weight, Tabby sitting before him, though she was only drinking a soft drink, something fizzy and sweet. He knew what it was as she’d let him try a bit and some part of the canine anthro had wondered just how it would have tasted if coming from her lips. But that thought had made him feel all hot and bothered under his fur when he was not sure that he should have been thinking about the woman before him i...

Cool water splashed as Amelia swam back and forth between the two riverbanks. The gentle current pushed her downriver, but she adjusted course. Her muscles burned. She sucked in a harsh breath, resolving to finish her arbitrary set. The noon sunlight shimmered across the water’s surface. Grass and dirt bumped into Amelia’s hand, and she curled her knees to stop. Her body pressed up against the bank. She pushed back and st...

Amelia flicked her drying hair back over her shoulder. She preferred keeping it tied up out of the way, but time ran short. A thrill tingled down her spine. Soon, she would be able to indulge herself as well as requisition what she needed to continue her journey. Glancing down at herself, Amelia shifted her loose, low-cut tunic forward on her shoulders. More of her soft, pale cleavage appeared, and she adjusted her perky...

Princess Amelia von Heiden trudged up the dry riverbed. Strands of red-orange hair fell into her face, which she blew away with a huff. Her plate armor weighed her down, and her long, padded skirt caught on every thorny plant in her path. She sighed. This was not how she had planned on traveling. “Princess,” Harper called from yards behind Amelia, out of breath. “Slow down.” A rock dared to bar Amelia’s progress. She stop...

Nookumick returned a few hours later with a white uniform for me to wear. “Where's my robe?” I asked, putting on the uniform he brought me. “I'm told, it's still in quarantine,” he replied. “Okay. I'm hungry, may I have some food?” I asked. “Of course, I'll have some brought up to you,” he replied leaving the room. A few minutes later the door opened and a second alien entered. This one was clearly female. She was brown,...

Jayden's POV When I came to, I had no idea where I was or how much time had passed. The last thing I remember is standing outside watching a storm coming in in the distance. After that—nothing. I scan my surroundings. I'm in a room with black walls, contraptions and vulgar toys strewn about the area. Panic surged through me as I realize Rin isn't with me. Last I'd seen of her she was fast asleep in the master bedroom and...
