The Corpus Grimoire part 5 (finale) Mano took Grace down an alley to a side door. “Can you break it down?” he asked. She raised her hand and concentrated. A blast of dark energy shot out and the door fell inside. Wasting no time, Mano took her hand and rushed her into the shadowy building. The room was dark and their eyes hadn’t yet adjusted … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #45
Chapter 26 Sam cursed in the deepest, throatiest voice he could push from himself. Not just at the wind that was ripping through his body and shearing his soul with its cold, and not just at the snow that was falling faster, harder, and more violently as it began sticking to his face and clothes rather than selflessly melting away. No, he was cursing the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 26
The Corpus Grimoire Part 4 The Corpus Grimoire had nearly fallen into legend. Often associated with the affluent Rusnak family, stories of the spell book were passed on over the centuries as a supremely powerful weapon that eventually claimed the lives of all who used it. The Rusnak family had long-ago converted to Christianity and renounced witchcraft and it was believed the book was sold … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #44
Chapter 25 The lobby chair had a comforting material that Sam couldn’t quite identify; it felt like a kind of faux-Linoone fur (at least, Sam hoped it was faux). It was so soft that, where it touched Sam’s skin, he couldn’t feel any particular strand of it—it just all blended into one wash of luxury against him. The chair coddled him and relaxed him and … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 25
The Corpus Grimoire Part 3 The Carpathian warlock sat in his grotto with a lit candle casting light on the leather bound book. He followed a belief system that predated Christianity in that area and, in his practice, communing with harmful spirits was unwise. The three shadowy beings that gave him the book seemed to be such spirits. And yet, the book was enticing. Holding … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #43
The Corpus Grimoire part 2 Alysa Saraki stood outside a dark, four story complex that no longer had any living residences. The asylum was originally built in a Kirkbride style, with narrow halls, long wings that spread out like a bat, and high ceilings to allow movement among patients and staff, but when it was remodeled in the 50s, it was flattened out and sterilized … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #42
Chapter 24 As Sam stood outside Rowan’s laboratory in Sandgem Town and stared through it, he couldn’t help but imagine it a cold, stone castle on a jagged mountainside. Despite the typically Sandgemian beautiful day of sunshine and blue skies, Sam could have sworn he saw a malevolent lightning bolt crack behind the lab and silhouette it in shadows. Tommy and Miah emerged from the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 24
The Corpus Grimoire part 1 Prologue It was a little known fact that spirits and demons had vaguely-defined territories on Earth, mostly centered within their own belief systems. This was to prevent war among them. For instance, Hell’s demons often resided in Christian-centered regions of the world, the Jinn usually stayed in Islamic regions, and the Oni usually inhabited the archipelago most modern humans called … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #41
Chapter 23 Sam eyed the Victreebel before him. It balanced precariously on the bottom of its pear-shaped body which opened at the top in a large, vicious, fanged mouth. From the sides of the bottom of its torso, the color of which reminded Sam of an aging banana, two large, sturdy leaves propped themselves against the ground to stabilize its bellish body. It swayed as … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 23
The Conglomerate part 6 (finale) The Top Floor… Mano had been taking cover behind some cubicles to avoid Intrepid’s stun gun shots. Seeing Sawyer leaving the area, he realized they had been played and opted to retreat; he simply needed to find the opportunity. He produced the 9mm from his jacket and raced into the hall while firing. Intrepid was forced to find shelter as … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #18
The Conglomerate part 5 New York… Hyperion’s Light flew over the state on its way to New Jersey. “Once our drone does its job, we can lure them out,” Ryan Bennings told his team as he gazed at the data in front of him, “Hopefully, my ascertain is correct and they decided to head to Sawyer’s building in Jersey.” “Remember the plan, everyone,” Intrepid told … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #17
Chapter 22 “H-how?” “How did you get yourself arrested? Boy, that’s not a good question for me, Sammy. But by the looks of you, it came with a spicy dash of police brutality.” Sam sat stunned in his silence at the sight of Tommy through the prison booth window. It simply could not be. Sam blinked hard; it had to be the concussion playing tricks … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 22
The Conglomerate part 4 Boston… Hyperion’s Light rested on a hill overlooking Ryan Bennings’ luxurious house. The Commission had just picked up Intrepid in the UK and landed the ship outside the Boston home. Inside, the team sat around a table in the lab after debriefing each other on their recent attacks. Surrounding the meeting table, holographic screens displayed pictures and files of the enemies … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #16
Chapter 21 It had been four days since the incident in Veilstone City. Sam had not heard from Barry at any point in those four days, and no one would answer his questions about where his partner was. Inside the Solaceon Prison, the nearest prison to Veilstone that wasn’t a crumbling mess with a downed wall, Sam had little contact with the outside world. Sam … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 21
I shake my head slow. This isn’t going to go over well. I might not have wanted all these people here, but I took responsibility for them when they showed up. At first, it was as easy as thinking that my basement was finished, warm, and large. We had a lot of furniture, carpeting, and a little kitchenette area. The door to the upstairs was … Continue reading The Basement (part 2): A Short Story
