Pt. Eight—You've Changed Throughout the tour, Katara noticed that Zuko constantly had guards and attendants trailing him. Some would just wait outside the room they were in; some would stand off to the side. They reached the courtyard and Katara looked around, surprised to find nobody. "Do they follow you everywhere?" she asked in a hushed tone, and he laughed. "Everywhere but here. It's strange; a lot of people in the fire-nation have superstitions about standing pools of water. They think it'll interfere with their bending or something." "So I assume you spend a lot of time here?" "Yeah, it's good to be left alone every once in a

Dragonborn Rising I. Prologue It was a quiet night. Aurora Borealis glowed above the mountains, and the stars shone through the fantastic ribbons of color.  There was no life to be seen. A lone adventurer climbed them mountain, guided by instinct, or perhaps it was fate. A thin coat of snow had fallen the day before, covering the paths, but somehow the way was clear to her.  She crept along, bow in hand, and great-sword at her back. As she got closer to her destination, the rocks showed signs of charring. She could spy, under the snow, the outlines of twisted, charred corpses. She finally reached a break on the mountain's surface, and saw

Chapter Five—Unexpected Events Charon followed Anastasia through the downtown D.C. wastes, and before too long they met up with a Brotherhood dispatch, sent to escort Anastasia to Galaxy News Radio. They walked in silence, and when they reached the bunker, the Brotherhood members solemnly and respectfully thanked her and nodded their goodbyes. Anastasia was greeted at the door by Knight Dillon. "We're all really excited about the new dish. You're helping a lot of followers fight back against the Enclave." "Thank you, Dillon. I'm glad to help, but I was promised information in return. Where's Three Dog?" "Ah, he's upstairs broadcast

My heart is in my throat As I fall, faster and faster Deeper and deeper Into love Blue eyes meet blue eyes A smile for a smile Surely it's been a lifetime Since we met Surely I've known you all my life How can this only be hours? No, surely I've been falling all my life Surely you've been right here To sing to me when I have nightmares To hold me when I'm lonely Surely it was you that kissed me goodnight And didn't go And made me laugh with joy And cry with happiness Yes, of course Surely this is love

                          Chapter Four—A Haunting Past Charon stared at his owner incredulously; what is wrong with her? Then, suddenly, he noticed the pip-boy on her arm. How could he have missed it? Either way, she must have been in a vault at one point, perhaps scavenging. Charon knew that most of what went on in the vaults was messed up shit, and that most of them never opened to release their inhabitants. Whatever she had seen, it a shaken her badly, and he needed to coax her into continuing, mostly so he could fill out her previous commands. "We must continue. You may wait here if you wish, and I will retrieve the dish for you.

Chapter 5—Persuasion Zevran cautiously lifted the bearskin that hung over the doorway to Miriam's room, and stepped inside, silently. She had picked the room because it was a beautiful vantage point over the encampment, and it was also a place where she could escape from everybody else. He looked around; items she had collected on her journeys were everywhere. There was a shelf of exotic books, a desk littered with maps and notes, a box of letters from different factions asking favors of her. Her clothes were gathered unceremoniously in a pile on the floor, but her warden commander armor was carefully constructed on its stand, the gol

Chapter Three—First Impressions "Sure." Anastasia grinned as they walked into Carol's place. "Okay, good, because that's where we're going, tomorrow." She pushed open the little makeshift door to one of Carol's 'rooms' and rummaged through one of the bags, pulling out an old poster. "We are going to retrieve this dish!" She exclaimed, pointing to the satellite dish attached to the Virgo II Lunar Lander in the advertisement. Charon nodded. "As you wish." Anastasia was slightly taken aback by his complacency, but she said nothing and folded up the poster and replaced it in the backpack, then she sat on the bed, and looked at him. He
