Lyroo’s eyes burned with intensity as she rested her hands on the desk of the Rutger animal control center’s administrator. She teetered on the edge of shouting, and leaned forward as she spoke, just short of crawling across the man’s desk. Her voice cut daggers through him. “Second paragraph, Mr. Hofant!” Lyroo seethed, her eyes …

Chapter Forty: The Enemy of My Enemy Titan: Exile by Dann
Lyroo sat at her desk, which was normally organized meticulously to the point of obsession, wondering if a tornado had in fact been through her office. Things were a mess! Everywhere, the state of her HOS office was just a remarkable convenient bit of irony, icing on the cake. Her short blond hair was frazzled, …
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-Six: The Feast of the Overseer (Part One) Titan: Exile by Dann
(“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-Four: Fight! Titan: Exile by Dann
The crowds gathered in droves to watch the seemingly mismatched pair spar off in the ancient Ler ritual of LumLar. The dance floor seemed to drain like water from a basin into the side room which held the LumLar pit. Soon the room was full, forcing spectators to gather around in other rooms to watch …
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 Twenty-Nine: Looking for Absolution Titan: Exile by Dann
The sun had finished setting as Eyrn and Aisell walked down the worn cobblestone path from the residential district to the commuter transit depot. Eyrn had agreed to escot Aisell to the shuttle, even though Aisell had insisted she was more than comfortable doing it on her own. The truth was Darren knew the way …
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Vise Grip Titan: Exile by Dann
Dr. Naskia Bass moved with haste down the school corridors, weaving in and out of congestion like a seasoned pro. She moved with a new feeling of confidence she had seldom the opportunity to exhibit — not because she wasn’t given the chance, just because she rarely had to. She owed that confidence to Niall, …
