Darren shielded his eyes from the invasion of light as Lyroo removed the small round lid to the padded human transportation module. He half expected her to reach in and pull him out, but rather he braced himself against the walls as the container was gently placed on its side. Darren waited in silence for …

Chapter Forty-Four: The Fate of Darren Titan: Exile by Dann
“I’m not a smart man, least ah never really considered m’self one. Sure ‘m not dumb, but ah’ ain’t no Einstein.” Darren sat in the long grass before the landscape of a woman laying on her stomach with her arms folded neatly. Pryvani’s head sat atop her folded arms as she listened to Darren intently. …
Chapter Forty-Three: The Wrath of Lyroo Titan: Exile by Dann
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 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 …
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. It was so quiet, so calm that all he could hear was the slap of the water against their boat, and Pryvani’s gentle rhythmic breathing. “We ‘protocol’.” …
Chapter Thirty-Five: Turnaround Titan: Exile by Dann
Darren caught up to Tapp and took hold of her by the shoulder, spinning her around to face him in one solid movement. He was out of breath, where she seemed able to run a marathon if need be. “Just where do you think you’re going to sister!” Darren scolded his voice gruff and assertive …
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, …
