His head lay stretched towards the sleeping form of Melissa. Her soft breathing ...

Minglings 41: Hidden potential [Part 2]

"Where is Jake?" 

Bert started and turned around. Melissa had propped herself up on an elbow and was staring at him. How she wasn't still unconscious with the bones sticking out of her a...

Minglings 41: Hidden potential [Part 1]

 "You will all listen to Tergin, do as he-"

A loud shouting from the edge of the lake interrupted Jake. The two hours weren't yet over yet, were they?

He turned to Tergin. "Alright...

Minglings 40: Retaliation [Part 2]

Jake woke up, slowly trying to find out what had awoken him. He was groggy, his muscles still sore. Hunting had taken longer than usual last night, and when he came back, it was the de...

Minglings 40: Retaliation [Part 1]

Jake shot up, his head foggy from a quickly fading nightmare. Mason would never do that! He shivered as he forgot why he even thought that.

"Jake?...

Minglings 39: Gobtown smackdown [Part 2]

Minglings 39: Gobtown smackdown [Part 1]

Whipper nervously fiddled with his rolled-up namesake. Spittle splattered across his nervous green face, and he desired nothing more than to put his fingers in his ears.

"This will be your la...

Minglings 38: Alies? [Part 2]

Jake floated high above the sea, expertly using the air currents to waste as little energy as he could.

A soft tap on the left side of his neck made him bank left. It took him a ...

Minglings 38: Alies? [Part 1]

"You're sure he is ok now?" Darsi asked Melissa as she jogged to keep up with the other.

"He is fine. Listen, it's a good thing! If he is this upset from losing his friend, it me...

Minglings 37: Hidden truths [Part 1]

The next two days passed in a blur. Working in the bog, dodging Whipper's strikes, and keeping an eye on Daniel kept her busy and alert. Then, early in the morning of the third day, just before daw...

Wrong Minglings post

Something went wrong with the two chapters I uploaded yesterday. Somehow the previous chapter got mixed in with the new. I have added the second chapter that was supposed to be there!

Minglings 35: Bad news, worse news [Part 2]

The loud bleating of scared, fleeing goats drowned out the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

Mason snapped the stringy goat's neck with practiced ease, tas...

Minglings 35: Bad news, worse news [Part 1]

Sitting on the rock, tending to his wound, the Kobold nodded vigorously. "Yes, Jake. From what I c...
