The wind flew through Lysis’ long brown hair as she rode as fast as her horse would carry her along the road east out of the city, a column of riders behind her. Despite her huge size Zara had long since disappeared from view. Her long, Titan legs allowed her to outrun even the fastest …

Chapter Four Tales of Avalon - A City Broken by Openhighhat
Lysis was never one for girly clothing. As a child she enjoyed jumping in puddles, running through muddy fields and generally getting into all sorts of mess. Girly clothes were not designed for such things. Her mother had quickly realised this and had started to dress her in clothing normally reserved for young boys. This …
Chapter Three A City Broken by Openhighhat
“Hold still or I’m going to end up stitching us both together!” Nick had one hand pressed firmly down on the stonemason’s leg and the other threading a needle through a rather nasty gash in the man’s calf. It was dangerous work, clearing away the debris that had been left over from Trell and …
Chapter Two Tales of Avalon - A City Broken by Openhighhat
Zara panted heavily as the walls of Atlantis rose up ahead of her. The gravity dampeners she wore helped her body cope with the stronger gravity of Avalon, but they did very little to reduce the weight of the pack on her back, and it felt like it weighed twice as much as before she …
Chapter One Tales of Avalon: A City Broken by Openhighhat
“And what would you have me do!?” Lysis yelled and slammed a clenched fist into the thick, wooden table top. She glanced around the expansive table at the rather shocked faces of various guild members and representatives of the people of Atlantis. She normally kept her cool.

Chapter Eighteen: Saying Goodbye Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke was woken by a deep rumbling noise. The world around him was vibrating quickly, almost to the point it hummed.

Chapter Seventeen: The Last Day Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
“EUUUUGGGHHHH!” Aisell strained as she pulled with all her strength on the stuck grate above Luke’s home. “Almost…there…” Aisell fell back on her ass sending a jolt through the floor that knocked Luke to his own rear end. “Wow that was in there tight!” She gasped. Luke hopped to his feet and ran to the …
Chapter Sixteen: The Morning After the Night Before Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
“Aisell…Aisell…make it stop…” Luke groaned. His head was killing him and the sound of Aisell’s alarm going off was mercilessly pounding away like a bass drum inside his tender, mushy brain. His whole body ached. Every part of him felt like it’d been through a meat tenderizer. He didn’t know how long it had been …
Chapter Fifteen: Breaking a Rule Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke enthusiastically flung himself from Aisell’s chin, forgetting just how long the drop was and landed in a heap on her neck. From a distance it looked delicate and slender, frail even, however up close it was anything but. It shuddered below him as the drunken blonde giggled at his error and Luke waited a …
Chapter Fourteen: Firewater Titan: Nomad, Chapter by OpenHighHat
Luke sat in front of the glowing wall that was Aisell’s pad. He’d been practicing reading for a few days now while Aisell was asleep or out at work. He was making progress but still had some difficulty. He had been an avid reader at home. He always had been. He was pleased that Aisell …
