Our Palest Star - Prologue
Born a pale Tiefling girl to two human parents in a small town is bad enough. But born with magic abilities and unnaturally large stature was downright cruel. Before I was even able to walk the community shunned me, my alabaster skin, small horns, tail, darkened fingers and toes and featureless golden eyes marking me as "Other". As an infant, candles and lamps would flicker and change color, my cries would sometimes boom outwards far louder than should be possible and my cradle would rock itself with a low rumble. But my parents cared for me, never once did they see me as a monster, I was their darling Agie and a symbol of their love.

Masjien Siele ( Machine Souls) : Prologue
The Year is 3097; after WWIII, a great war lasting twenty years all the great and small nations finally stopped fighting. Seeing the devastation that they caused, major cities in ruins, half of Earth's human population wiped out and entire eco-systems destroyed every last one of them swore an oath to never let a war like this ever happen again. The United Nations was replaced with a new world government called the United World Union; and with this sparked a golden age of technology by the likes of which no man or woman could ever imagine.

“Hurry or I’ll leave without you!”
Almost startled I come back to earth and finish brushing my teeth “I’m coming”
I head to the door, “We planned this epic Friday night to help you relieve some stress, wouldn’t want to miss it don’t you think?” she smirks
I roll up my eyes “We told no one and even Anton was getting worried, come on let’s not keep my sis and the others waiting”
“I wouldn’t dare” I replay sarcastically
I really need a break though, it’s not like I chose an easy career, chemical engineering is no joke
We step out of the bu

Darkness oh how it can be so alluring. The thought of his shadow gently caressing your body while whispering sweet nothings in your ear can make anybody shiver. Would you welcome his advances if he came to you promising everything you ever wanted? They would they all would ; such utter imbeciles. Their foolishness will be their undoing.
In a hidden room resembling that of a university’s chamber twenty black figures with ritual like masks stand stoically; their hoods have a strand of gold around the edge. The figure’s uniforms are completely black with a gold sash tied around their waist like a robe ;every single on

The Demise of Mary Conner - Scene 1
“Are you really convinced that Mary would be capable of killing herself?” Robert’s voice was tight.
“Wh… what?” Celine felt her heart stop as her eyes flew up to meet his.
Looking at her apologetically, he stepped closer and softly placed his hands on her shoulders. “I’m so sorry for bringing this up. I’m sure you’ve been through enough pain already but … I’ve been thinking this through and none of it makes sense.”
“I don’t …” she pulled away and started walking, her eyes set on the sidewalk. “I don’t want to talk about it Ro

After All: An Original Series, Chapter 1
It was in the afternoon, the scent of the feast goods and the evergreen tree filled the house.
Mrs. Jane Meritt was with her daughter, rehearsing on the piano inside the music room. The two were dressed extravagantly, the mother was dressed in a long dark green gown with a black bow tied on her back; the young girl was dressed in a white dress with red, blue and yellow embroidered flowers at the edge of the skirt. "You're doing very well but you must catch up with your singing to the tune.." She reminded as she reset the metronome sitting on the top of the grand piano.
"How many times must we rehearse, mother? I don't think they're even goi
