A Lesson Well Learned

July 15th Home of Alexios and Lykaon Chora of Delphi Ancient Greece 3:30 P.M. The lone figure stood behind a table underneath a sheer blue fabric canopy that was hung over the area behind his house that doubled as his apothecary, the heat from the afternoon sun beating down upon him despite the overhead cover. By Helios, its hot. I think that I must be one of the most foolish men alive to be making my medicines and poultices at this time of day. Lykaon, physician in the Chora of Delphi, glanced at the sky from his work through the thin veneer of the fabric, wiping his glistening brow with the back of his hand as he stood by the table outside of his house. He squinted in the bright sunlight, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the glare, deep in thought. He was momentarily startled by a soft snore that came from somewhere down by his feet, chuckling as his eyes flickered downward. The sound was coming frome Hyperion, the wolf-dog pup that they had found a

Little Place of Forgetting-12

Chapter 12: Last Call Time: Unknown Place: Unknown The days seemed to crawl at a snail's pace here in the dark and I had no concrete idea of just how much time was passing or how much had already passed. Every day seemed the same, with nothing to separate it from any other of a thousand days. I had no idea, really, of what was going on outside of my prison. Time had ceased to have any meaning here. Kaine and Umbrae had been down to visit me again-along with taunts and threats, kicks to the side and a few slaps thrown in for good measure-a day or so ago; I hadn't seen Dr. Benson for awhile and I wondered at both his cryptic last words befor

The Potter's Wheel

Watanuki x Doumeki October 15th Yuuko's Warehouse 1 P.M. Watanuki stood quietly beside the potter's wheel, looking down at the lump of clay sitting there on top, ready to be shaped into whatever he chose. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting his mind drift over a thousand pleasant thoughts before he opened them again, focusing his attention to the ball on the wheel as he sat down, arranging himself carefully on the seat. It had been at Yuuko's rather pointed suggestion-after his latest blowup earlier that afternoon-that he'd come here this in order to vent some of his frustration that had been building up over the past four weeks. She'

I sat motionless in the chair beside the bed, my head in my hands, my fingers trembling with a multitude of emotions that I was desperately trying to suppress. I could hear the labored, rasping breathing coming from the bed which told me, at least for now, that he was alive, my heart constricting within me as I heard the awful sound of someone struggling to breathe. I knew what that meant... and it wasn't good. Damn you, Cabanela! What were you thinking, charging in there like that?! I pressed my hand

True Confessions

It started that bright September morning as Grossberg sat in his office, staring at the wall, cupping the side of his face in his hand, his elbow on the top of his desk. For some reason that he couldn't fathom, he was thinking, once again, about the dark grey-haired and grey eyed prosecutor. He'd been invading his thoughts more and more lately for the past nine months-well, ever since the prosecutor had hand delivered a file that he needed for a case and his fingers had accidentally brushed the back of his hand-although he really didn't know exactly why. He certainly wasn't prepared for the electric shock that went through him when the pros

Into The Darkness

A Kingdom Hearts 2 AkuRoku Fic Prologue Axel: Into The Abyss How did I get here? He was falling in the darkness, trapped deep inside its cold and frosty heart and tumbling slowly downward. He was alone, his hands clawing desperately at the suffocating black, trying to find a glimmer of light and, with it, hope that he would find his way out and to the one who's heart was calling out to him. How he got here was anyone's guess; he didn't even know himself. To the best of his memory, one moment he was at the supermarket buying items for dinner for himself and Roxas and, in the next, he was tumbling down this black crater. Pushing aside the

It *Was* Here A Minute Ago...

Tahlea Grande sat on the wooden bench in the hallway outside of Dr. Chartreuse's lab, her hands in her lap, her sandaled foot tapping a staccato rhythm on the stone floor. She knew that she was in trouble after that last lab explosion and, while she understood why she was banned from entering there for awhile-at least until the lab was put back together-and that she was to blame, she still felt a little put out about it. Her mouth twisted sourly as she watched various people come and go in and out of the lab; while most greeted her, there were some, particularly those who had been present at the last lab explosion, who took one look at her a

Sir Blue Knight

October 11th Inquisitor Zacharias Barnham was not a man who regularly took stock of things but, in this instance, he couldn't help it. There was something decidedly wrong with Sir Blue Knight and he was determined to ferret out the cause. He looked... sad... and wan these days and even their courtroom battles lacked the flair they once did. He couldn't help but wonder why. He also noticed that there was a dull look in his eyes, the life and sparkle they had once had diminished and even his step, which had once been bright and sprightly, was now more like a shuffling plod. He'd been out walking his dog, Constantine, one day when, by chance,
