I was going to put some things in the sidecar and take it to London to sell. That way, I might be able to live a lot better.

Uther

Uther
By Ellie Dauber (c) 2006

According to the legends of King Arthur, Merlin changed Uther Pendragon into a double for Duke Gorlois, so he could spend the night with Ygraine, the Duke’s wife. Ygraine and Gorlois had three daughters: Elaine, Morgause, and Morgan le Faye.

During their time together, Ygraine became pregnant with the child who was to become King Arthur. Uther’s men killed Gorlois that same night.

This is my TG version of what happened. No, the characters DON'T speak standard English. They are living in the sixth or seventh century, speaking two separate Germanic dialects that were distant ancestors of what we know as modern English.

The trip home. Part 8

Beth pulled the old Diplomat into it's normal parking spot. She reached forward and turned off the chrome ignition. The only sound that could be heard was the faint bubbles and tinks of the engine starting to cool down. She did not yet move from her car as she looked out blankly through the windshield. The drive back to her sorority had given her ample time to think things through.

Being Christina Chase | Chapter 45: Princess

As right as it felt, Christina knew she’d eventually have to leave this life behind.
There would be no storybook ending for Christina Chase; there was no way she could conceive of it.
Even if she could figure out a way to remain Christina forever, she could never believe that anyone
would ever want to marry her. Since coming to Oak Grove, Christina had experienced being popular
and the intoxication of feeling desired, but the essential truth remained the same; in the end,

everyone would always leave her.
