In the spring of 1900, ten teams set out by canoe on a government-sponsored expedition to survey the wilds of Northern Canada. Their four-month mission: to record an inventory of the resource potential of the Province of Ontario's untouched frontier.  Renowned athlete and lumberman George Reginald Gray commands Expedition Party No. 3, a team of scientists, surveyors, canoe men and a Native guide. Following the lead of the enigmatic Cree elder,  the party delves deep into the heart of the Temagami wilderness where they awaken the true spirit of the land.
  
  "The Line in the Sand" draws upon primary source and archival documents to reveal the untold story of the odyssey of Expedition No. 3 and imagines what lies beneath the few surviving records of the journey. 

This novella originally was published to Wattpad as part of the anthology "Nine Lies of BG Davies."

The Return of Molly by The-Dragon-Hearted
11 parts Complete
Caduceus has had the same dream for a few weeks now; a familiar grave of a tiefling he never met and the life that The Wildmother placed over that grave. So familiar was the flora on that grave in the dreams that Caduceus could easily name them all on a whim. And then the dream shifts: There's a heartbeat. A breath. A struggle. The Wildmother calls to Caduceus, pulling him towards that grave once more, where her work is centered trying to bring forth another life. No, not bring forth - bring back. With a gasp and a panicked scramble, a lavender tiefling pulled himself from the dirt. Freeing himself from the earth's clutches in a desperate escape. He is blank, an empty slate of a person except for one word that screams in his head. A word screamed, called, laughed, and spoken by so many different voices that vie for attention in the confused tiefling's mind - Molly He doesn't know how he is exactly or what he was doing in the earth but he can only suppose that Molly is his name and that the cloak over his grave is his too. He's not quite sure how, but he knows that somewhere out there, people are waiting for him. He has no idea where they are or how to find them but he'll be damned if that stops him. With only a single tarot card, a small letter giving him some clues, and an open road before him, he sets off to figure out who exactly he left behind. WARNING: Spoilers, cannon-typical violence, alcohol usage, language, and mature themes. (AKA, there's angst) WARNING: Short book about the reunion of the Mighty Nein as they find their old friend (that means this is cute, lovable, fluffy, and adorable). I don't own art, characters, or any of that. I'm just a fanfiction writer who's trying to console the heartbreak of losing the great Mollymauk Tealeaf. Long may he reign.

In a world where dinosaurs never went extinct, humanity has learned to live alongside these awe-inspiring creatures, sharing the Earth in a delicate balance of nature and civilization. Nestled in a remote, uncharted region, a wildlife reserve has been established to protect both the creatures and the remnants of an ancient civilization lost to time. Jayce, a devoted park ranger with a deep bond to the creatures he protects, has always found peace in the tranquil rhythms of the reserve. But when strange disturbances begin to unsettle the park's delicate ecosystem, he finds himself at the center of a mystery far beyond his understanding. The animals' behavior shifts, unseen forces seem to stir, and previously inaccessible ruins now appear to be revealing long-held secrets. Along with Ava, a fellow park ranger with a passion for the ancient past, Jayce begins to investigate the ruins that hold cryptic clues about a forgotten era. Their search, however, draws the attention of Sullivan, a mysterious figure from an undercover organization, whose motives are far from clear. What begins as a quest to restore balance to the park's natural order soon unearths secrets that could reshape their understanding of the world. As Jayce, Ava, and Sullivan venture deeper into the ruins, they encounter ancient artifacts, cryptic writings, and a hidden force that threatens the future of both the park and life as they know it. With every discovery, they are pulled closer to uncovering a powerful truth-one that could either save or doom them all.
