Chapter 10

The path back to the city was a relatively short one from the mountains. It gave Diana time to process what she had seen and learned. ALL her people had been affected by Boston’s wish, there was no doubt of that now, and as a result, her people were now to look as terrible...

Returning to the marketplace, the Thracy family were left relatively alone to eat in peace at last. Save during that time, they had quite the crowd of amazons giving Harper attention or found genuine curiosity in the two men. Several had asked how Gary was able to make child’s pl...

Chapter 19

“DON’T DARE TOUCH ME!” Roared Aello, practically swiping her clawed hand at one of her sisters in arms when she reached out to touch her arm after offering wine. Scaring off the amazon, Aello narrowed her eyes and clutched at her pint with unfamiliar hands. They weren’t even hum...

Chapter 23

The library was not as far as Gary had thought. Once they were clear of the palace gates and out into the city, the cobblestone path practically led to it. Keeping his son Harper close, the man looked around the city as the four guards marched with him, two at either shoulder. Th...

Chapter 25

“Where ARE they?” Hissed Ocypete, sitting at a bonfire where her sister generals Aello and Alkyone sat hunched and picking at their arms and shoulders with their talons like buzzards preening at feathers. The trio worse for wear as they coped with their mutations and festering ap...

Chapter 27

Derinoe hissed between cracked teeth as she entered the dark entry way into the mausoleum, the path dark, save for the lights of torches leading deeper into the mountain. Tracing her greasy white hair out of her eyes, the woman looked around, seeing the plinths and monuments of f...

Chapter 29

“Yaaaaaah!” Swiping her talon against the wide face of the tree trunk before her, Ocypete was pleased with herself at how sharp her new claws were, leaving deep gouges in the wood with a single strike, as if she had cut it with the same ease as with an axe blade. It was the only...

Looking around the grand arching dome of the feasting room of the palace, Harper eyed the murals and paintings that took up the ceiling and walls of the dining hall. Many of which he was too young to understand. There were some showing hundreds of warrior women on horseback runni...

Chapter 32

The bathhouse was quite luxurious looking. Something that made Gary a bit apprehensive as he walked into the fair-sized room where there was a pool at its center. There were at least half a dozen rooms like this at either side of the tiled stone walkway to where he was now. All a...

Chapter 33

Harper was terrified! One moment, he was watching the two ladies fight in the ring, the next he felt a massive claw wrap around his mouth from behind him and hurt the two ladies sitting at either of his sides before pulling him away into the bushes. Whatever had him in its clutc...

Chapter 34

The temple of the oracles… Castalia, Calisto and Calliope sat at the center of their fire, their eyes closed as they meditated and breathed in the incenses burning around them. Since Boston had left to deal with their intruder, they had been given a moment of silence to delve in...

Chapter 36

The air had a tinge of saltwater to it that the elderly man found both familiar and relaxing. The sound of the ocean tide coming in to crash against the beach and dockyard and back again. Looking up at the sky with his hand over his squinting eyes, he could see and hear seagulls...

Chapter 42

The funeral went on for another hour until the fires finally died out, leaving ashes that were carefully gathered and placed into an urn for the Thracy family to take with them. A custom the Amazons were informed of by the man as they handed him the clay pot and bowed to him, wis...
