“Hello, yes, excuse me please. Thank you. Coming through! Please, I’m in a hurry,” Mary called as she tried to navigate her way through the bustling crowd that blocked the sidewalk, hemmed in on both sides by tall city buildings. “I’m so sorry, could I just… Thank you! Excuse me please, coming through.”



She tried to give each passerby a wide smile as an apology and a thank you for making way.

the thick treetops of the jungle. Animals of all sorts were already out and about, either searching for breakfast or embracing the sunlight. Birds could be heard chirping high up in the trees and the

Return of the Squirrel-Girl
By PrinnyDood
More than a year had passed since Lumna's terrifying encounter with 'Chrika' – a disturbing entity calling herself a squirrel-girl.
The first few weeks following the experience had been steeped in paranoia and nervousness. The giantess had promised – before they parted – that she would recapture and devour Lumna within the next few days. Lumna had made it a priority to travel as far as possible from the place of that meeting and never

Situated deep in the world of Felarya, just north of the Forest of Whispers, are the legendary Chordoni Waterfalls.



Every day, millions of tons of water flow from these cliffs, seeming to magically generate within the rock and pour down into the plunge pools hundreds of meters below. These falls are enormous, even to Felarya’s giant species; to a human, they are incomprehensible.

Aiden’s breath came out in quick, short gasps as panic welled up in his chest. He didn’t know where he was or how he got there, and there wasn’t any light to help him investigate. Just the dark. All that he knew: he wasn’t alone.

Samuel was feeling childishly happy. It wasn’t an emotion he experienced very often anymore. Ever since he had started attending university he was almost constantly busy and stressed with his part-time job, studying, and keeping up with his social group.



But right now, the young man was enjoying the simple pleasures of an easter egg hunt. It had been so long since he had done one of these - many, many years, back when he was a chil

The big, red tent glowed brightly from within, standing out against the countryside around it like a drop of blood. Many would think that the circus tent would be heaving with people, parents and children alike, all making a deafening din. And they would be right… mostly. The current show had started at 2:00AM in the morning so the audience consisted mainly of drunken adults like hen night partiers, or very dedicated patrons. There wasn’t a family or child in sight.

Freya crept through the thick tangle of branches of the Giant Tree, stalking her prey with the efficiency of a professional huntress. Many would think that the depths of the Tree wasn’t a great place for a one hundred foot giantess to live but Freya actually preferred it. She had grown up in the Amazon Forest on Earth so she was very much in her element among the thousands of branches up here. In fact, she hadn’t set foot on the actual ground for months - since she had suddenly and u

Lea choked out a sob as she staggered through the forest. She was in a lot of pain: her head hurt, her shoulder was dislocated, and she had many cuts all over her body. That fall had not been very fun.



Of course, she didn’t blame Crisis for dropping her, the blonde naga had been distracted by other things - mainly the big blue alien beam of abduction - but that didn’t improve the fact that Lea had fallen hundreds of meters an

The giant flames of the fire were making slow yet steady progress across the Giant Tree. A majority of the under canopy was alight and the fire had looped around the trunk in a bright, smoking ring, coaxed on by the many little ships that continuously sprayed the tree with flammable liquids.



Overlooking the small planes’ progress like a queen bee was a much larger aircraft. Just hovering there intimidatingly. If you were to enter i

The tension in the room was palpable as the four Felarians stared cautiously at the sorceress. Crisis looked particularly wary of the woman in green, her hand unconsciously moved to the place on her head where the mage’s orbs had hit her earlier.



Carissa smirked at the reaction and raised her own hands to once again summon her crackling orbs of green energy. Crisis flinched at the sight but Melany reacted quickly by lunging at the

“Wow!" Crisis cheered as a large fireball arced over her head. “Amazing!" She clapped her hands.


Lea grinned as wisps of smoke trickled from the staff in her hands. Her latest spell had been spectacular and Crisis seemed to really enjoy it.


“Again!" the excited naga giggled.


“I think we should give it a rest,

Hundreds of camera drones soared over the large stadium, filming the thousands of cheering people within as three lone figures were raised up from the floor in the center of the arena.



The three humans, two men and one woman, looked up at the shouting crowd, their hardened faces stoic as they waited patiently for the presenter to speak. Everyone quietened as his booming voice echoed around the stadium.

Tessa smiled excitedly and licked her lips. The blue fairy had happened upon a very appealing sight: a human camp.



A couple dozen large tents were situated in the middle of a small clearing and the soft canvas was fluttering in the gentle evening breeze. From the bushes, Tessa couldn’t actually see any of the campers but her predator sense was telling her that there were at least twenty of them… and all but two of them were

“Dinner time!” Erin laughed as she punched a closed fist into the ground, surprising an underground nest of neeras. The earth caved in to reveal dozens of tiny, mousey humanoids that were now panicking and running around frantically as they found themselves suddenly very exposed.



The neko didn't hesitate, quickly dipping a hand into the hole and bringing it away full of several small, squirming bodies.

Captain Salvador ‘Sea Dog’ Briggs strode across the sturdy deck of his ship, his canine face glancing left and right as his crew bustled about their jobs. The inu’s dog-like ears twitched uncomfortably at the amount of noise being made and he looked worriedly into the dense wall of trees either side of the river. Predators could be lurking there at this very second - a fact that had always unnerved the captain and made his dark fur stand on end.

The inhabitants of the small village of Cruxburg take Halloween very seriously. They make up for their small numbers in fantastic displays of lights and fireworks. In the week leading up to Halloween, their houses are strung with scary decorations and the streets are filled with people wearing hundreds of different costumes.



And on that mystical night, the 31st of October, they all congregate in the village’s central field to parta

“Stay close," Dusky whispered to Erin as they both cautiously watched the two advancing groups of soldiers.



“What are you going to do?" she asked nervously.



The dragonewt didn’t respond, a hard expression of determination written across his face, and the neko watched as his palms began to glow with energy.

Dusky and Erin stood awkwardly as about a hundred pairs of curious eyes stared at them. They had just arrived at the village Erin had visited a couple weeks ago and a small crowd had quickly gathered to greet the travelers. Except, no one was saying anything, everyone was just staring at the neko and dragonewt awkwardly and they didn’t know what to say.



Thankfully, they were saved from the situation when an unusually short, dark-sk

James Priestly yawned heavily and smacked his lips as he plodded forward. He was about to finish his fifty-first lap of the camp he and his company, led by Kane, had set up for the night.



To his right was Rose, an equally tired soldier who was his partner in the nightly watch routine. She yawned straight after him and then groaned in annoyance.



“How much longer?" she a
