Luke wanted to pace, and if his leg could’ve taken it, he would have. It had been two days – Titan days, that is – since word had come down that Seeks the Tribe was on the Maris farm. He didn’t know why she was there, and she didn’t appreciate the skepticism that he was …
Chapter Forty-Three: Signs Titan: Nomad, Chapter by D.X. Machina
Eyrn walked hesitantly to the office; Yamanu had told her she didn’t have to carry him to Gae, but Eyrn didn’t mind; he was a lot lighter than an X37-B, and besides…she felt like he deserved a little extra care right now. She had focused on Darren’s plight, on what was happening to Darren. And …
Chapter Forty-Two: Yamanu’s Tale Titan: Nomad, Chapter by D.X. Machina
It was about a year ago, give or take. “Titan years?” Eyrn asked. “Well…yeah. I suppose Earth years are different?” “A lot shorter. Sorry,” Eyrn said, shifting. She could see already that the human was struggling with this. “It’s okay,” Yamanu said, quietly. It was about a year or two ago, give or take. I …
Chapter Forty-One: Full House Titan: Nomad, Chapter by D.X. Machina
Aezhay cursed as she gobbled down her porridge. There was so gorram much to do, and not enough hours in the day to do it. She honestly didn’t know how Lezah managed – but she didn’t have time to ponder it. Lezah was off in Rutger keeping Bedra together, while Aisell was keeping Eyrn from …
Prologue, Part III Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Sam awoke with a fitful start to find himself curled up in a ball on the plastic floor of the container-slash-cage that Yvenna had left him in after his…. ‘examination.’ At first he wondered what had caused his sudden awakening, but then realized the giant face looming above him probably had something to do with …
Chapter Forty: Vocations Titan: Nomad, Chapter by D.X. Machina
“Seer, I demand you look into this!” Oreus the Seer sighed, and rolled up the scroll he was looking at. “Hari, I have told you, the idea that a visitor from Earth is a sign of doom is simply not borne out by the sacred scrolls. There is but one line in a commentary text …
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Assistance Titan: Nomad by D.X. Machina
Gae stepped out of the autocab and quickmarched to the shuttle. She had barely had a chance to process what was happening before she got the call to head on in, along with every paid staffer TETH had on Archavia. Lezah hadn’t responded to her message yet, nor did Gae expect her too; she couldn’t …
Prologue, Part II Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
At first, all Sam could see was a gray haze. Then other colors appeared as the world slowly came back into focus. Sam was suddenly aware of a splitting pain that started at the base of his skull, then travelled up the back of his head and to his forehead, like a Mohawk made out …
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Courageous Enough Titan: Nomad, Chapter by D.X. Machina
“You’re sure there’s nothing she wants?” Thurfrit said, as he and Luke sat down. The Great Hall was not very full at the moment, but that would change soon. Devo was looking over the fighting space with Drugar the Leader and Hari the Defender, both of whom seemed satisfied with the set-up. “I’m sure,” Luke …
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Interrogations and Apologies
Luke wasn’t sure why he was doing this. Oh, he had some idea of why he was. And he certainly was enjoying it. But it complicated things. It complicated them in a very nice way. Quendra, on the other hand, didn’t have any idea of anything. She returned the kiss – she didn’t need to …
