A World Made Up of Silver and Copper
by shukyou (主教) illustrated by 2013 “What in Hell’s name happened to you?” Ram asked, or tried to ask, because his mouth had several orange slices in it.

The Very Hungry Incubus
By EmboSnoodler The dark stone surface of The Wall flashed past Bat’s eyes as he flew upwards. He glanced downwards and his heart soared at the sight of the ground falling away rapidly with every beat of his leathery wings. Bat refocused his gaze upwards to the edge of The Wall, lit with the last […]
