Bedra dug through her pocket for the small access card required to unlock her apartment, on her shoulder sat Degu who was leisurely straddling her shoulder whole facing her neck. “So, can I?” Degu asked once more, he had that certain soft and approachable voice he only took up when he was trying to butter …

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-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, …
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 …
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, …
