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.

Tapp and Degu didn’t get along, Degu was abrupt and confrontational, and Tapp was belligerent, vocal and rude at every possible interval. …
Chapter Twenty-Four: Customary Greetings Titan: Exile by Dann
As soon as Bedra was through the door to the deluxe residential housing unit, she kicked off her shoes and dropped her bag on the floor. The apartment was standard-issue, with a few more common luxuries than the standard simple issue unit. For the most, part Bedra Tae was a neat person; there were a …
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Princess of Squander Titan: Exile by Dann
Bedra’s exuberant smile had been chopped down by recent events, but it was no small surprise that as soon as she had cleared the red tape and paperwork to pass back to the Adoption area, her smile had returned. Degu was occupied battling the tingling feeling that came with a fresh chemical bath, and was …
