Chapter: Retribution's Retirement Part 4"Something like that. Captain, I do not wish to have this discussion with you at this time! You have interrupted a chiding I was receiving from Master Revenge," she spoke as though she was very close to sending him on to the manor. He took in the tears threatening to overflow the blue eyes he had come to love on a dear and trusted friend. He wanted nothing more than to protect her, but knew that something more was going on between Sylvia and her father than a mere chiding. They had done that many times back and forth and it had not made her cry. He bowed to her and walked just out of earshot, but kept his eyes on them.When Sylvia looked back up at the face of Revenge, his expression had changed. She couldn’t decide if she liked the new one better or not. "How long have you been with child?" he demanded through gritted teeth."This will be my second cycle missed," she replied flatly.

Chapter: Retribution's Retirement Part 3"I do not dispute that it is. Pay the woman that she and her guard may leave!""Guard?!" the man asked angrily, "She brought an entire regiment with her!""Never mind my guard," Sylvia’s voice was a shock to the crowd, "Let us finish our business and I will leave this place and my guard with me.""All of them?""All of them.""We will need some sort of proof that it was you who did slay Retribution," the once very haughty man sounded defeated."If the body and the blade are not enough, then what else can I offer as proof but the wound that blade inflicted on my hand in the struggle that preceded the death ofthat woman?" She held out her left hand to show the bandage."May we see that wound?" he asked. Sylvia pi

Chapter: Retribution's Retirement Part 2This time when he spoke, his tones and facial expressions were much softer. "I do not know all of the magic that was placed on the blade. I know that for me, the glow was green, not blue as it is for you. I know that it does not like to draw the blood of its master – that was one of the attributes I asked for when I commissioned it. I do not know why it did what it did, but I am sure it had something to do with it cutting you."The small group dispersed still thinking about what they had seen and heard and not knowing what they thought about it. Sylvia returned to the place where she had fought Delora. There she found that none of the men could handle Veritás without it striking back at them, though none could explain how as the blade never moved. She would have to clean it herself. She could handle that, even with a wounded hand.Thus ends phase one of this project ...&nbs

Chapter: Retribution's RetirementChapter 27 Retribution’s RetirementIn less than a week, Ladies Chadwick and Kinden were settled back at Chadwick Manor and their lords were again inquiring as to what on earth they were planning. To them it was a game, nothing could possibly be serious about it because the women were too happy – in fact, they were so happy they cried sometimes.

Chapter: Delora Part 3"Because ... well ... you first saved my brother from certain death and then you requested that the medicine man come here and tend to my father who had been poisoned by Delora, thus saving our family again. He refuses to take even the smallest payment for his services. You," he paused and looked at her as though she were not entirely human, but in a good way, "I would swear that you are part or all angel sent from God’s own side to help this land recover from its sorrows.""You are too kind, Cole.""There is one other thing I must request of you," he told her hesitantly, "I must ask that you say nothing to the authorities of what we have done ... The consequences could be terrible for us.""I will keep your secret, Cole, just be careful who elseyoutell," she said with a maternal s

Chapter: Delora Part 2Delora allowed herself to be carried the rest of the way to the tree house without incident. There was terror in her eyes and etched in every line of her face. If anything, it increased when she was securely tied to a chair and her gag removed. She managed to speak after Retribution had pulled up the other chair in the small room and sat backwards around it looking at her. "W-What do y-you want f-from me?"Retribution smiled with such maliciousness that she could have made most of the guild counsel turn tail and run. "I know what you have been doing to your husband and his family, but I want to hear your story. Your fate may be a little less painful if you comply with my wishes." Delora paled then reddened. She started to let out a string of curses and insults, but was interrupted by Retribution’s steel re-enforced bracer coming hard across her face. "Insolence is not becoming of a fool." Disdain d

Demicore
In the ancient cultures, they were called gods. To the Christians, they are angels. They call themselves the Demicore. One part human, two parts animal, able to change between the three forms, and functionally immortal, a few of them still walk the earth.
Sar split himself into his three component parts and sent them to roam the earth after nearly being killed in yet another fight with his almost-brother, Lucifer. After his wife and her mother are nearly killed, he and his daughters have to find all of his pieces and re-enter the world of the Demicore with his family transforming before his eyes.
Now they have to team up with an old adversary, find the ancient Book of Life, and train for the ultimate last battle between Sar and Lucifer that will decide the fate of the world. As if on queue to complicate their plan, Lucifer discovers their intentions and Sar’s nieces Keeli and Kyli turn up to inform Sar that his sister Kaya is not dead, but trapped.
With the help of his former enemy, Mim-Cri, and a close friend, Gemini, Erik, Elizabeth, and their daughters Sonya and Katlin set out to fight the battle of Armageddon.

Chapter: Chapter 14Chapter 14As she walked through the small kitchen and living room, the weight of the Demicore’s functional immortality hit her. No matter who she loved, how many friends she made, how many lives she touched, she would have to watch the people around her grow old and die. In that moment she was both grateful for losing her mother and very guilty being so over. At least she wouldn’t have to watc

Chapter: Chapter 13Chapter 13“Trust me,” Mim-Cri told them with a wry smile, “this is nowhere near square one. We will have made leaps and bounds of progress just by him being able to see and understand the way she fights – which is the only way he is going to have a snowball’s chance of winning this fight.”

Chapter: Chapter 11Chapter 11Erik looked between Mim, who was waiting for him to show her the dojo and Elizabeth who was clearing the debris off the bed. He wanted desperately to train. Everything hinged on him being able to defeat Lucifer… but then there was settling his nerves and just holding his wife or watching her sleep since that was obviously what she was going to do.
