“Pirates, Plunder, and a Plethora of Problems”
The four adventurers soon found themselves in an elegant drawing room overflowing with tall bookshelves, large map tables, and rows of map stands that held dozens of tubes for rolled maps. Various brass navigation instruments, mostly sextants and telescopes, lay scattered about the room, as if their owner still cared too much for them to put them into storage, yet knew they were of little use in the modern day of astral navigation.

Virgo’s Child
Present Day Tyra St. James awoke in a cold sweat. She had just had the same dream again. It was the one where she was someone else and she was running for her life. As she sat up in bed, she felt a large male hand on her stomach. She glanced around only to find herself in a strange motel room. A pair of handcuffs was lying on the nightstand, and strange clothes were scattered everywhere. Great, just great, she thought to herself. She knew she had to escape. Taking the handcuffs, she handcuffed the strange man to the headboard, before digging around for her clothes. All she found however were leather pants, a leather halter-top, a leather jacket, and a pair of knee high boots that all were too small to be his. She was still digging for her bra and panties, when she heard him stir. Deciding against them, she dressed quickly and slipped out the door. She only paused long enough to leave a note and the keys to the handcuffs on the desk. As she slipped out, she noticed his jacket. The name Bubba was embroidered on the left pocket. Judging by the clothes and the Harley outside he was a biker, Ty just could not believe her luck. If she ever made it of it this in one piece, she knew her best friend Christina would never allow her to live it down.

The Swirl: Chapter One
The night was quiet and chill as I stepped off the midnight train that had just brought me home from a very long shift at the Trayton Organization in Trayton Fields. My work was top secret as we studied the mysterious ongoings of the universe, including what was known as 'Black swirls.' The company knew they existed, though we weren't allowed to announce it to the world because Mr. Stevenson, the boss was afraid that it would cause unwanted panic in the streets. I, on the other hand, had never witnessed these swirls as he called them, and neither had my colleagues who worked night and day to unravel the weird mysteries of this universe.

Season of Flame
The fall returned swiftly, its great change sweeping over the land like a spreading fire. With its coming came the shortening of days and the darkening of nights. A coldness swept through the air and grey, unsettled clouds filled the sky. The vibrant, life assuring greenery of the summer, slowly began melting away into equally rich hues of burnt orange, red and yellow. The aptly named Season of Flame was here again.
