Athena's Wood
The night is quiet and still, just as I have asked it to be. A cool breeze wafts through the clearing, rustling leaves and filling the air with the comforting sound of a forest at rest. I sit patiently amongst the branches, enjoying the silence as I wait for my beloved. I have taken the form of a barn owl this evening. I believe it will amuse her. I hear the hitch of her breath before I see her; she has been crying recently, tonight has not been easy.

The Other Thing
~ Part I ~ Dark things roam the forest at night, great terrifying creatures that are best left alone. But we are not your enemy. No, your enemy - our enemy - is the Things. Things have no claws or fangs - they do not have thick hides or scales. They are not strong and mighty, nor are they stealthy or swift - by all means, they appear to be the perfect prey; make no mistake, dear hunter, their appearance is a lie. Hunt a Thing for need or sport, and its child, its neighbour, a member of its race, will vow vengeance. To slay a Thing is to damn oneself to a life of preyhood, but that is part of the fun.
