Call Of The Light

by Erisian

Book 3

With the craziness in Syria appearing to be safely in the rear-view mirror, Jordan had hoped to settle in to the routine at school and take the time to understand who she had become.

Such as what did it really mean to be an angel? Or even being a teenage girl?

Events however had been set in motion leading to threats not only to her closest friends and family but to the entire world. When destiny calls how each answers will shape the entire future to come.

For Jordan, worrying about makeup, bras, and things like fitting in at school would simply have to wait.

Castle is an agricultural, pre-industrial settlement of thirty-five thousand persons on a distant planet who call themselves The Folk. Their speech is called Folk too. Incursions of between two and three hundred persons of all ages from Earth occur every forty to fifty years. This has been going on as far back as Folk records go. Castle has a harsh and brutal climate and coöperation is mandatory for survival. The Castle Way is the code the Folk live by and it is as harsh as the climate they live with.

The work in its entirety explains how it all came about and goes some way into the future from the main work. Most of the work concerns the incursion of 568 after The Fell Year - the year from which Folk dates are started. Virtually all records perished that year as did virtually all the Folk. The 568 incursion begins the Folk industrial revolution and many of the tales are of the lives of incursionists before and after their incursions. A Castle year is of 14 lunes that alternate with 30 and 29 days.

I've said elsewhere the work as it stands runs to 1,500,000 words, but I'm still not sure how to do this for much may only be of interest to a few, possibly only myself. There are numerous LGBT+ main players and several are trans, but to present bits only is difficult. I'll do my best and listen carefully to feedback. The spelling is what it is, deliberately so. I have a Folk dictionary and phrase book, but much is obvious.

Note. I'm trying to set all this up at the moment, so it may be some time before anything 'real' gets posted and I may get things in the wrong places. If I have to, I'll run to Erin for help, but I'm trying to be a big girl for the moment without Mamma's help.

Regards,

This story is set in the star wars universe. It isn't Cannon in any way. This story is about a young woman who has been approved to attend the imperial academy.

Author's note: This ten-part story stands on its own but introduces characters from my previous story 'Transvixen'. It is not imperative to read Transvixen first but it will provide better context for those who like continuity.

Ash "the Flash" Johnson was an average kid. Went to school, played football, wanted to get into a career writing webcomics and teaching history eventually. His daily routine consisted of getting up, getting dressed going to school, and going home. He was so entrenched in his routine that there were some things he simply didn't notice.

Rairy lives in a rural right leaning North Carolina town. It’s 2016 when the infamous ‘Bathroom Bill’ came out.

The whole town is ran by right-leaning conservatives. Things happen in this town that aren’t supposed to happen in your average town. Things are swept under the table when they shouldn’t be. Those with money are the law.

As I have now reached the grand age of 60, and I am beginning to ease back from the hustle and bustle of work and family responsibilities, I have more and more time to look back at all the things I have enjoyed and experienced in my varied life.

The output from a bad sensor starts a chain of events that ends with Fergus changing into a girl.

No... scratch that. It doesn't end there. It just goes on and on.

The artifact of the ancient:
In a fairly typical fantasy world there used to be only humans.
Until a big artifact was found.
This magical device needs 100 volunteers.
One of them will be chosen at random to create a new race from scratch.
Together with the other volunteers, they will change into their new race.
Some of these new races are fairly standard.
Elves, dwarfs, orcs, and goblins are soon to be found in this fantasy world.
Yet, later ones become more experimental and strange.
Some of those will be featured here.

“ Oh come on Chris, you’ve done it before with no problems, please help me out.”

“ No, I’ve changed in the last two years, I don’t think I will pass like I used to, and, besides, there must be someone else you can ask”

Santa's Helper (Sexy!) With Boots

An Altered Fates Story
by Iolanthe Portmanteaux

It was one of those cheap Halloween costumes, the type that’s sexy this or sexy that.
Sexy policewoman, sexy nurse, sexy maid, sexy devil. What they all had in common
was a short skirt to show lots of leg, a low neckline to show lots of cleavage, and
tight panties that were meant to be seen.

Cassidy's life has been lonely and full of heartache. Abandoned as an infant, bounced from foster home to foster home. He's never found a place where he's belonged. Then one summer as his life starts to turn around, something happens that changes everything...
