The Seer - Part 3
“You must be Celestials,” the dhaceen hissed. He took a step closer and his eyes darkened like a storm cloud sweeping through them. The human disguise seemed to falter, his aura was so dense, so evil that the darkness radiated from his body as if it was made of black smoke.

The next night Lana makes plans to spend the evening with her boyfriend, so I make plans with Liam. We grabbed some dinner from the student union and take it to a table outside, so we can avoid being overheard. The faint white glow continued to surround Liam wherever we go. I can hardly wait until we are seated to ask him about it.

The Dominion, Part One: Gods. Content Warning.
From the top of Central Tower Cassandra White could look out over the whole of the Dominion. Her Dominion. A grin spread slowly across her lips, stopping well short of her eyes, as a fire flared somewhere far below. It’s yellowish orange glow shining small as lights on a festival tree among the glittering sea of white pinpricks beneath her feet. One more slum up in smoke.

The Seer
I have one green eye and one brown eye. The green eye sees truth, but the brown eye sees much, much more. The green eye is easy to read. If someone is telling the truth, their aura will be white. A lie will turn their aura a deep red. An aura can also have a spectrum of shades depending on how deceitful a person is being. For example, an intentional omission would turn their aura a soft pink. A lie told for a good reason would be bright red.

Chapter Four: The Exploration Team
As the name suggested, Dragon's Hidden Peak was known for its elusive nature. There were two reasons for this. First, the mountain was rich in spiritual energy, which seemed to attract divine dragons from the heavens. Second, the terrain was incredibly treacherous, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to climb. Nevertheless, there was a small exploration team making their way through the dense vegetation within Dragon's Hidden Peak.ancient times.

The Living Arc Angels Part 2. Content Warning.
(TYLER’S POINT OF VIEW) In the alley behind the Italian restaurant a white light appeared in swirling circles. Out of it stepped the four living arc angels. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but that was what Thomas had called us. We were once again back on earth. We stood together a moment in silence. Then the silence was broken as Eric yelled, “Whoa! Guess what?” Our attention quickly turned to him with interest not knowing what could have caused such an outburst. He looked back at us a moment and then with obvious embarrassment said, “I’m hungry. I just never thought I’d be hungry again.” A roaring laughter filled the alley. “Well, I would love to taste food again. After all, it’s been 3 years since the last time I ate.” I didn’t wait for anyone else to respond. I held tight to Andrea’s hand and started toward the end of the alley. Eric and Christine quickly followed. Andrea jokingly said, “Maybe that’s why they brought us back behind an Italian restaurant.” Once again we all shared in much needed laughter as we rounded the corner and headed toward the side door. Then after several more steps we were walking through the door, stopping just behind the register and waiting to be seated. Promptly, a waitress came up and asks us where we would like to sit. Christine said, “it doesn’t matter… we’re just glad to be here.” The waitress looked a little baffled by the reply but still grabbed a few menus and then headed off to show us to a seat. Eagerly we followed her toward the front of the restaurant. Finally the waitress stopped in front of a table that rested against the windows that made up the front wall. From here you could see the cars moving back and forth on the road that ran adjacent to the front of the establishment. To most this would have been an annoyance, however it had been a little while since any of us had seen any roads even with out any cars to be on them, so it was a new wonder to rediscover to us. So happily we sat down. Andrea slid into the booth on the left side and I slid in after her, and Christine slid into the booth on the right side followed by Eric.

Fallen Tree
The bookstore had appeared more spacious for the first fifteen minutes. Jasper was busy trying to unlock the door and began to feel frustrated by the lack of help from his companion. But frustration wasn't in his nature, he muttered. It was one of Them, not well-received in his mind. It was this that made him sound calm when he turned to the old man.
