Becoming the Eagle [TF]The Avian Way

Jason was uneasy.

This was somewhat of an understatement. Having been left on his own by his allies on an alien planet, and with no idea how to operate the ship to get home again, in a mission that seemed increasingly suspicious the more he thought about it, it seems increasingly likely that uneasy was the baby cousin of the word needed to describe how he felt.

Maybe terrified?

Nah, terrified wasn't really accurate, it wasn't like he was sobbing in fear. Jason had never really been terrified of anything. Perhaps... lost. Lost and alone, with all that that entailed.

Six months ago, Jason had been chosen to go on an expeditio

Something's got to Give

Gordon Martin lay on the bed that had been the center of his world for the last few months. At least he thought it had been months. There were no windows and no clocks in his room, so he wasn’t sure the exact amount of time that had passed. To the left of the bed was the desk that he ate his meals at. To the right was the commode and sink. And at the end of the bed was the bell cord. He couldn’t go further than that due to the collar attached to a chain around his neck. The room wasn’t uncomfortable. It was kept clean and he was fed well, but that didn’t change the fact it was a prison.

He sat up and looked at the cor

Each to Each"Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hairs of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown."

It was Maria’s turn to feed Sessyne.
She was nervous as she made her way down the metal, spiral stairway leading to the lower levels of the floating research facility and colony where she lived. She knew well enough that this day would eventually come, and her name would be selected to visit the home of the Ichthyian who lived in the bottom le

Peace for Lonely Monsters: Mercy

The sounds of laughing children filled his ears. They were playing and laughing as children should. It always softened his hearts to hear children being children, enjoying their childhood before they learnt the cold harsh reality of the universe.

He lowered his head, averting his green-grey eyes, so often filled with sadness and loneliness at times. He couldn’t help but let the negative thoughts seep in. After more than, [a thousand was it? He’d lost count by now] centuries of seeing so many people die, both good and bad, he couldn’t help it. No matter how much he wanted to. Death was never to far from his mind, nor was it

It Only has to Happen OnceA large, green creature zipped through the sky. It had four wings, which flapped independently, calmly making its way through the iron jungle, past all the tall buildings. She wore an old shirt with two holes cut in the back for her upper wings which fluttered in the wind, and her hair fluttered as she calmly drifted through the cloudless morning.

With a flap, she closed her wings and latched on to the side of an old building, holding herself up using her hands and her frontal legs’ talons, with three front-pointing fingers and one large thumb pointing back, all with small claws on them. Her rear leg’s feet were more similar to t

Legend of Earth: Chapter 5: Destiny Discovered

Tom carried on walking further into the woods now that the danger had passed for him. Andrew was gone, as well as the ash bear. Tom could think of only one thing, the ash bear must be chasing Andrew still. Tom immediately started running, determined to find his endangered friend. The jungle seemed to go on forever, and the further he ran the further the ground became damper. He could see rain clouds ahead of him, passing away. If Andrew was running this way, then there was chance he would slip and get caught! Tom ran as fast as his new legs would carry him. He bombed through the jungle like an athlete, his mechanical legs effortlessly boundin

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Everyone in the Decker Room, maybe even in the entire police station, jumped at the loud and lengthy cry.

“What was that!?” Toudou barked.

“That was Deckerd!” Yuuta gasped. “I’ve never heard him scream like that before.”

“Something’s up, co

Flitting Through the CosmosReaka had a mantra: 'Always call their bluff.' It didn't matter what the stakes were or whether they beat you anyway. All that mattered was that they had misjudged you.

And that was exactly how she ended up in this situation, hurtling through the cosmos in the cumulative efforts of the best and brightest of Earth's rocket scientists and engineers. They'll never go through with it, she had thought, It's far too risky to waste the equipment.

Well she had been wrong about that.

She swiped at a few dials and tried to ignore all the warning lights that were flashing at her. It was probably worth it. A guy that pretty needs to be enjoyed more th

CAMERON MEETS STAR (Dragon Vore)(Warning: Vore and near digestion)

Ally, a purple dragoness with a white underbelly, had left Dragon City every day for a week to see her human friend, Cameron. Star, a white dragoness and Ally's step-sister, had noticed her absense and decided to follow her. Ally flew to a forest were her and Cameron usually met and landed. Star landed nearby and hid behind some trees. 'What is Ally doing?' Star thought. The she saw Cameron walk through some bushes and over to Ally. "Hey, Ally," Cameron said, "Want to have lunch?" "You mean you?" Ally joked and started licking him. "No. I meant, would like some fish," he said, "Then me." Ally smiled and sai

Happy birthday Merrit!"What could be worse in the morning after the holiday?" Thought Lorraine Shepard, slowly regaining consciousness. She slowly and cautiously opened her eyes, squinting in the sunlight that dazzled even through the louvers, and barely made herself sit in the bed.

The room was in complete chaos, things were scattered all around: the clothes lying crumpled piles on the floor, bed sheet pricked from crumbs… and the air was so resistant fume that even wide open window could not help it.

The snoring pile of rags at her left gave up still living partner, Shepard didn`t deny herself a pleasure to lift the blanket and watch Kaidan, the sight w

Your Royal GooglenessLet’s travel into the sky. Funny, really, even when man has lived on Earth for about 2 millenia and 70 years, they never thought to look up into the clouds. Among the mist and water, an elegant boarding school appears, about twice the size of a normal castle. BUSINESS BILLIONAIRES FOR THE BRILLIANT, an iron pegged sign states, swinging lonely near the guttering lanterns. Inside the massive school are hundreds of thousands of students, each one representing a company, such as Pottery Barn or even The New York Times.
But only the highest, top achievers of the elite ever dream to have a worldwide successful branch that the humans use often, the class named ‘Outstanding Achievers’, where we now must go. There are a handful of students in the classroom, dead silent excepting for the scritch scratch of frosted glass pencils meeting levitation paper. But our story starts with the girl in the far corner of the room. No, not the one with silver robes and brown hair, we

I want to be a Wolf, Rufus. “…June 4th, 5456, Atlanta, Alabama.”
That’s right. You heard me. I lived in Atlanta, Alabama. Atlanta used to just be in Georgia. But in the last few centuries, it had expanded into other states, like Alabama. That’s where I lived.
“Desire of Transformation,” my dog, Rufus, said. Rufus 101 is a robot that looks, moves, sounds, and even smells like a real dog. But he’s not. He’s a robot assistant.
“Wolf.” I said instantly. All my life, I had wanted to be a wolf. Now, at age 18, I was allowed to do so. The president of the TransAnimal Company promises you&rsq

Tarzan/Cthulhu Mythos fan fiction
The giant creature stared towards the village for about one hour. Then it lumbered towards it and the bungalow. Tarzan and Jane felt the tremors and they realized that the monster was en route towards the village. Jane was noticeably nervous.
"Tarzan, that thing is coming now."
"Tarzan will fight it."
"It seems huge. Can you stop it?"
"Tarzan must try."
The quaking continued towards them. Tarzan primed for action. Jane remIned skeptical that he would win. Tarzan had fought lions and elephants, but they were smaller than this monster. She dreaded that Tarzan would lose the fight and die. Yet she had much less strength and could hardly help him.
Moments later, the quaking began to thunder. They realized that the monster was nearer to he village. Silence had fallen all around. All of the local fauna had fled to safty and dared not o make a sound. The lobg trunk of the creature had broken all foliage in its path and fragments had strew

Post-dinos: TitanosaurOn a Jovian moon with one fifth of Earth’s gravity the Titanosaurs, one of the largest lineages of Dinosaurs, indeed one of largest lineages of Terran life, were taken to fantastical new extremes.

These surreal goliaths wandered in herds through wondrously tall forests, communicating with each other using brightly coloured dewlaps running down the underside of their length. Loud vocalisations and whip-like cracks made by their tails were used when individuals weren’t visible to each other. The term herd if used loosely here and refers individuals walking within sight or hearing of each other. Contrary to their unbelievable height

Vengence Chronicles pt. 8A man in a hooded cloak was sitting near a campfire in the middle of a vast desert, brooding in silent as he held a piece of paper in his hand. "It's quite a ways out to the nearest human settlement, don't tell me you're just here waiting for little 'ol me to come by are you?". The man suddenly lifted his head up, as if in anticipation towards the source of the voice. It was Darkseeker, sitting in a casual fashion on the opposite side of the fire, as if he was hanging out with an old acquaintance. "Heh, it certainly has been a long time hasn't it, about fifteen years ago to be precise, to whom do I owe the "pleasure" of having you here in thi

Vengence Chronicles pt. 7 As the hunters were leaving behind the carnage of the convey, their hunger satisfied,
a figure stirred near one of the damaged trucks. Grump was holding his chest as it was pouring out blood in several gouges spread throughout his torso, one wound in paticular, the side of his gut, had his intestines dropping out. His breaths were getting quicker and fainter and blood was pooling out of his mouth. "Damn" he muttered " guess we... couldn't make it to the base after all, too bad... I didn't get to.... tell my... family... goodbye" and with that final word, the life left from his eyes. Soon a faint trail of white,

Holiday Special Darkseeker was sitting in his throne, looking out at the snow falling outside. "Is something bothering you, sir?" asked Nanotech, his metallic voice giving a hint of curiosity. " Tell me Nanotech, what is this Christmas that all the humans seem to celebrate, it is one of those things that gives them the hope and courage to fight back at me, I do not tolerate such things" Darkseeker said, his chaotic voice, which sounded like several people talking at once going into a deep tone. "Well, if my info on human cultures is right, and they usually are, humans celebrate the holidays as a time of joy and giving" said Nano

Vengence Chronicles pt. 6     As the convoy watched in shock and horror as the hunters and dark commanders just watched in silience. A dark cloud moved over and blocked out the sky and than began to funnel towards the ground. Eventually the whole entire cloud began to shrink and contract as soon as it touched the ground and took a humanoid shape. After a few more seconds went by, a figure slowly rose up from the ground and began to walk towards the dark commanders in a rather calm and benevolent fashion.

Vengence Chronicles pt. 5 As the convoy waited for something to happen, one of the the hooded figures raised it's head and talked in a dark tone with the sound of electricity crackling in it's voice. "Well it seems we found another group of trash crossing this land, if only they are capable from learning from their mistakes, don't you agree Novaforce". The other hooded figure stirred and stood up and spoke in a light and whispery voice "I guess it's impossible for primitive lifeforms to understand anything considered intelligent". This made the convoy enraged with fury, they busted out their guns and began to open fire on the d

Vengence Chronicles pt. 4 As the convoy prepared for the onslaught at hand, the hunters started to back down and whimper. Everyone in the convoy started to get confused by the situation at hand. "Why aren't they attacking" said a soldier. "Cause" said Grump " they only back down when a commander is near", this sent a shock down everyones spines. " A commander" another soldier stuttered "they only appear when the leader has run out of patience in hunting down humans in the general area". "I thought those guys were only a myth" yelled another soldier. "These guys are anything but a myth, how else do you think our cities got overwhelmed so easily" said Grump in a so

The room was poorly lit with a singular light that gently swayed back and forth, illuminating the room in all of it's murky splendor. A man was sitting on a wooden chair, splintered from lack of maintenance. He was a man in his late forties, his short hair was a filthy black mess of grease and dandruff. His limbs were restricted by steel cuffs and his face could barely be seen through his matted hair. Exhaustion and despair were plastered all over his gaunt blue eyes as he squinted intensely into the darkness beyond and was met by two glowing blue eyes, seething with violence. "My, my, what do we have here? Another willing participant in my little experiments? Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to get acquainted first!" A metallic voice cackled with murderous glee, as the unseen menace moved in, the man could start to make out the rest of it's body. It wore a black hooded cloak that covered most of it's body aside from it's hands and face. It had rigid metal claws and it's face was mostly hidden aside from it's pupiless blue orbs that glared at the man. It looked like someone ripped out it's teeth and replaced them with steak knives. It pulled out a scalpel and plunged the icy cold blade into the human's abdomen, the menace laughed insanely as the man screamed with agony, his anguished wails echoed into the walls, never to be heard from anyone but his tormentor.
