Chapter Thirty-Nine: Aftershocks Titan: Exile by Dann
(“Things were pretty hopeless.” Darren reflected and sat on the edge of the gondola with his legs dangling over the side. He could feel Pryvani carefully watching him, but he didn’t mind so much. “I remember as much, I mean…well it was all anybody was talking about everywhere.” Pryvani say on the edge of her …
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Feast of the Overseer (Part Three) Titan: Exile by Dann
Darren lay motionless with his cheek flat against the cold porcelain plate. The anger and hate had drained from his body, the fear and terror had ebbed away and left nothing but emptiness in its wake. He lay defeated as the young woman who would soon consume him laughed and conversed with her fellow dinner …
Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Feast of the Overseer (Part Two) Titan: Exile by Dann
(“No offense Pryvani, but you can’t know what it’s like to lie on that plate and realize you’re about to be something’s meal.” Darren trembled as he recalled the feel of the cool porcelain against his bare skin, the screeching, chilling sound of steel on ceramic as utensils he couldn’t see dug into the flesh …

(“They teach us how to respond in a crisis situation ya know…” Darren said quietly, his eyes glassed over as he looked out into the calm black water.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Fire in Her Belly Titan: Exile by Dann
Darren made his way across the long oval table towards the two Titans before him; both engaged in conversation with one another enough to have missed the special he and Aisell Maris just put on. Bedra was speaking with exaggerated hand motions, and Aehzay was slouched back on her chair with a drink in hand, …
Chapter Thirty-Two: Archavian Night Life Titan: Exile by Dann
Aisell chuckled as she watched her sister and new friend as they swam around in the spacious dark blue waters of the Artificial Dunnermac habitat. It was different-looking water than what folks were used to drinking, dark and incredibly still, and lit beneath the surface by bioluminescent plant life that remained near-motionless as it sat, …
Chapter Thirty-One: Gathering Titan: Exile by Dann
Darren leapt from the bathing and self-grooming facilities his new home offered to the second level of the habitation platform where his bed and personal area was. He didn’t bother wrapping a towel around his naked midsection, but had done a decent enough job drying himself off, and had done his bunk mates the favor …
