Last Chance
Azrael Thantos never thought he'd watch his parents die. It wasn't on his to-do list to unleash a beast within himself to constantly clash with. But he did. Everyone around him wants him to move on, to fight the darkness inside of him. He's trying, but he doesn't know how. Not after everything he's been through. It's not in his nature to give up, though, and he won't let the matter drop until he's found a way to have his vengeance and his peace. The problem is that the woman who murdered his parents is determined to kill him too. She's much more skilled at hiding and killing than he is, and between her constant attacks and dealing with the upheaval in his life in the wake of his parents' deaths, can he figure out how to stay alive? He's got lots of ideas on how to do that, but as his stalker closes in on him, will he be able to do so without getting more people killed? He's not really sure, but he does know that he doesn't want to find out he's failed at protecting those he loves.Complete

Alone Together
This story really starts in the middle. Ari, who often goes by A, is propped up against a tree in the middle of a forest with a dagger in her stomach. She's lost a lot of blood already, and she keeps losing more. Helios is kneeling next to her, and they're both trying to figure out what to do. I'll start at the beginning, though. Ari is a wanderer, traveller, adventurer, and lots of other things. She doesn't have a home, until one day she does. She's chased into the Akiire territory by the Akiire's enemies; the Tesera. Luckily for her, the chief of the Akiire tribe takes her in. Akiire medicine men and women fuss over her until they're sure she's safe. Then the Akiire initate her as a member of their tribe. She gladly accepts. She's started to like it there, after all. Then Helios starts talking to her. He's nothing special in the tribe. He's a good warrior, but all the warriors are good. The bad ones have already died. Nonetheless, by the time we get to the forest with the dagger and all that, A has only spoken to Helios a few times. Now he's her only way to stay alive.Complete
