“I mean, I guess it’s better than a stick in the eye,” Rixie said, “but it’s not exactly ‘welcome home.’” “No, it’s not,” Pryvani said. “But the good news is that they want to talk to you, if they figure out how to do it without shattering a few families in the process.” “Would it …

Chapter Two: Old Family Secrets Titan: Birthright by D.X. Machina and Johnnyscribe
Forty-four Imperial years before, Kullervo had awoken in an unfamiliar room in the Palace of the Three Shaars. It was, like all bedrooms in the palace, luxurious. But it was less luxurious than his bedroom here; it was a simple guest room, not a room for a member of the House of Throden. He had …
Chapter One: New Family Secrets Titan: Birthright by D.X. Machina and Johnnyscribe
Two days later, Pryvani was ushered into the Col I Retiring Room in the Palace of the Rising Sun. She was grateful that Tiernan had not redirected her to his office; her message had been terse, but clear in what she needed to discuss. She was not risking their friendship to ask; she knew Tiernan …
Birthright: Prologue Titan: Birthright by D.X. Machina and JohnnyScribe
“If I didn’t know better, I would think you were frustrated,” Pryvani said, settling a cup of techou on Rixie’s desk. “Anything I should be concerned about?” “Sorry, boss, no…it’s a personal thing. The issue on Shelius is handled.” “Glad to hear it, and unsurprised. I’ll ask about it later, but what is this personal …
Chapter 13: Stow Away Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
Andimem stirred from the fitful sleep he’d managed to fall into. He sat up and immediately regretted it. His neck sent shooting pain all up and down his spine. Apparently, he wasn’t quite used to sleeping on a hard plastic floor with only a pile of cloth to cushion himself with. A tremor rumbled through …
Chapter 12 Room for Debate Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
For some reason that she couldn’t quite explain, Essni found her mood considerably lightened as she walked into work. She found it surprising how much the decision to take Andimem home with her had cheered her up. He was just going to be her pet, after all. It would certainly be nice not to have …
Chapter 11: Liberty or Safety Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
With an exaggerated sigh, Essni folded the screen of her workstation computer into her desktop and leaned back in her desk chair. “Finally done for the day.!” She turned towards the far end of her desk where a number of her scavengers were sorting through the day’s finds for her. From the center of the …
Chapter 10: The Wager Titan: Stray by JohnnyScribe
Kiri entered her office and was pleased to see that the human, Oteo, was already seated on her desk and waiting for her. Lishda was not present, but then Kiri hadn’t asked for her to be either. She would be dealing with each of the humans one on one today. “Good morning Oteo.” Kiri said …
Chapter 9: Caper Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
“You may begin.” Kiri leaned back in her office chair and watched as the two humans on her desktop concentrated on the tiny screens in front of them. Though she’d probably never admit it, she was grateful that Naskia’s connection to Pryvani Tarsuss, and by extension Avalon, had facilitated the procurement of two human-sized computers …
Chapter 8: Essni’s Gang Titan: Stray by Johnny Scribe
It wasn’t that Elena was afraid of Titans. She wasn’t. She’d been living among them for… well, she wasn’t really sure how long it had been. Months, anyway. She’d been dodging Titan feet for a while, anyway. She was used to them. But the fact of the matter was she’d never been directly under a …
