bards would agree that it all began with a dream. But where the dream began and
who the Dreamer was is unresolved... and the whole mess was completely lost to
Donald Talbot as he pushed open the front door of the two-story cabin deep in
the snow-covered hills known as Caribou, twenty miles west of Seward Alaska.
The area where the cabin squatted was remote and could only be reached by
snow-machines in the wintertime, or snow-mobiles as they were commonly referred
to by those living in the “Lower 48”, and by all terrain vehicles in the
summertime. Donald fumbled with the flashlight.<span>
</span>He smiled a happy smile, thoughts turned to the party they would be
having that night, a small rave, with music provided by him. His deejay's
equipment was hooked to the back of his El Tigre', and once he got the
generator going he could begin to set up and have things ready by the time the
rest of the gang arrived.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>Talbot wasn't a True Believer, one
who believes in a higher power, except maybe in the Marvel-Comic-Stan-Lee sense
of believing in heroes and what they do. He was thirty-two, single, and had
been all over the states living as a pariah, being homeless. But he did meet a
lot of interesting people along the way, some he would just as soon not to have
met. He had listened to <i>The</i> <i>Old Rugged Cross</i> about 64 times, and <i>Amazing
Grace </i>about a hundred. And he slept in shelters that smelled of rotten feet
and sweaty bodies. And he heard sermons from preachers belaboring that their
life was just like that of the homeless people in the room, but that they
turned theirs lives over to the Almighty, and now their life was peaches and
cream with a stamp of salvation. </span></span></div>

storage to the wood-stove, and set it ablaze. It was currently 16-degrees
inside the cabin, Donald had planned to have it considerably warmer by the time
the party arrived.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>Talbot was a good-looking man of <span> </span>194 pounds that wore his hair short, crew-cut
short. His eyes were green, and his fingers long—“artist's fingers” he was
told; he had the voice, he had the personality, he didn't believe in hostility,
and he had the smile, and he had all of his teeth.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>He had become a radio-personality
merely by chance. A radio station was taking auditions, and Donald just decided
to show up and see what was what. And the next thing is he's getting
phone-calls, and fan-mail, and if he had somehow touched the <i>flame of
success, </i>he knew he didn't want to let go. Because being a
radio-personality took him places he otherwise wouldn't be able to go. Cool and
classy parties, sometimes in parking-lots where contests were held, He got
back-stage passes to concerts, and he met more young ladies than he thought he
would have a chance to. A lot of roses were given and reciprocated. And Talbot
was finally happy again. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>Donald Talbot wasn't even aware that
he was an undiagnosed bipolar with schizoaffective tendencies. He started
hearing voices when he was about ten. They scared the hell out of him. There
were no occupants of these voices he heard. And he didn't hear them in his mind,
rather he heard them as audio hallucinations. His father had beaten him when he
claimed to hear voices, apparently Donald was just trying to get attention by
scaring people. But he wasn't. And the beatings that he got from hearing voices
didn't make the voices stop or go away, Donald just learned not to talk about
them. After a time he grew used to them so that they didn't scare him anymore.
He chalked it up as an overactive imagination and that was that. Besides he
only heard voices when he was on a downward spiral of depression, that is save
one, which he heard more often than not. It sounded like himself talking to
him, and it spoke like a half-assed guardian angel. Maybe it was his Id or his
ego, he didn't know.</span></span></div>

pulled behind the El Tigre', and start setting up. Maybe he would be finished
by the time the rest of the gang arrived. He had a computer and a sound-system,
and he had lights that flashed and danced sequentially. </span></span></div>

sworn I heard….” Trailing off, Donald listened to the quiet crisp night air.
Surely he should be able to hear the sound of snow-machines by now. Straining,
Donald cocked his head and scrutinized the acute silence. Not even an echo or a
hint that the crew was approaching. Maybe someone had engine trouble. After a
couple of moments of weighing the possibility, Donald decided to retrieve his helmet
and climb back onto his Tigre’.</span></span></span></div>

faint drone caught his attention before he could turn around and head back
inside. Donald spied movement out of the corner of his eye, and something
flashed briefly in the darkness of the surrounding woods. The form stepped out
of the compilation of trees, it was, </span>It looked like a human in high-tech
state-of-the-art armor<span lang="UZ-CYR">.</span>
And yet…this visitor somehow seemed…<i>alien</i>. He couldn’t tell if it was a
man or a woman, as the head was covered by a helmet, with a face-shield that
made the individual look like an insect.<span>
</span>Don<span lang="UZ-CYR"> almost wet
himself, and thoughts of running back inside the cabin-slamming the door shut,
and getting the shotgun, hammered in admonition just beyond his skull. It was
then that he remembered that the shotgun was still with his Tigre’. The</span>

his footing, and slipped in the snow. Once. Twice. Don scrabbled up the wooden
porch. He thought that the </span>mechanoid<span lang="UZ-CYR"> almost had him as he dived through the doorway of the cabin. He
slammed the door shut immediately behind him. “Shit, there’s no lock!”
Experience in Alaska had taught those that periodically resided in the woods
that there was no reason to put locks on your cabins, it just gave the bears
one more thing to break during the warm months that were the summertime when
the furry free-loaders busted into your cabin looking for food. Donald felt

dark dominion, screeching in horrifying ululation, and glee, like prisoners

scattered everywhere, seemingly tearing up the really real world that the group
once knew, in a cataclysmic storm. With their eyes closed, the group saw
apocalyptic visions of demons and aberrations invading our realm, even as they
invaded the cosmos eons ago. The world was stripped of its technology, of its
superiority, of its vitality; buildings crumbled under the onslaught of devils,
super tsunamis crashed against the east and west coast of the United States and
beyond. Deserts became oceans, mountains became islands, and the end came
shortly thereafter. </span></span></div>

civilian, Pamela Dempster, was attacked by an Aberration prior to Dust-off in
Tesla. She was infected by the Aberration. The incubation to transformation was
thirty minutes. Fifteen members of the crew were killed before the creature
could be brought down. All other civilians are under close observation. There
wasn’t enough tissue left of the late Mrs. Dempster to analyze. And the only
consensus that the Specialists can agree on is that the Aberration is
sulfur-based—not carbon. There has been no indication to determine whether or
not the Aberration has DNA worth questioning. All that’s known at this time is
that the Aberration is one tough motherfucker…but, it can be killed. N2 seems
to be the most affective way of eradicating the creature; however after contact
with the liquid-nitrogen, the Aberration literally disintegrates.”</span></span></div>

<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a child I was full of magic, wizards, dragons, kings, and super-heroes.I couldn't wait for my favorite heroes to be in the movies. Twenty-five years later, the dream is a reality viewed by all. The world changed me over the years--now I have added horror fantasy--not Twilight Forever--I don't consider <i>that </i>fantasy horror; more like paranormal romance-- and I write erotic science-fiction/fantasy, as well as paranormal crime dramas, and still more science-fiction fantasy to add to my itinerary and genres of versatility. I hope you enjoy my work and find a genre to suit your taste for your reading pleasure.</span></span></span></span><br />

years to write, and has been gathering dust for almost three years while I
worked on Darkness Within. Tears of the Le’igro was considered by Tor for its
prose and originality; unfortunately—there is that word again—Tor had filled
its quota for submissions that year.
Tears of the Le’igro won the Redbubblle Alpha and Omega contest for best story--initially written for teens, I present to you, installments of the Epic Fantasy
Adventure, Tears of the Le’igro</span></span><br />

Moriin was hysterical. He believed that it was quite conceivable that he had
never known such stark terror and utter horror. Not in this lifetime. Not until
now. The worst phantasm dredged up from a child’s nightmarish imagination was
insignificant, save for musing, to this circumstance. His wife and children
were dead, even if they were cognitive, like he was. He knew this now, even if
he didn’t realize it when the sickness had been upon him. During that time it
seemed as if he were moving through a veil of surrealism so acute that
everything and nothing at all had seemed real.
And when Dalin had finally passed, being the third in line to succumb to the
sickness, Deriic made himself believe that his son had merely fallen into a
deep sleep. And even when all the color had left Dalin’s face, his father was
made to believe that there was still a glow about his son’s countenance.</span></span></div>

Deriic supposed that he probably had. And the next morning after the man had
left, mother and daughter were struck down by a fever that stayed with them for
days and grew increasingly worse as time slipped by. Now there was another
reason to find Palimaar. One of pertinence. And then there was a moment that
instilled an incomprehensible fear; it was so articulate that Deriic suspected
it was even worse than when he feared that his wife and daughter were dying;
that was in the midst of a severe coughing fit, one in which Deriic thought
that his wife would never catch her breath.</span></span></div>

passed--even though he didn’t accept the reality of it at the time--Deriic was
hot with fever--but then…but then four men who had been hunting had come to his
aid. One of them had run to get help, gauging Deriic’s condition to be more
than that which they could handle. And before long a man had touched Deriic and
his family, and he healed them! The man called himself Joshua Heit, and he
professed that it was the power of Dhamara that had given Deriic and his family
back their lives. Praise be to Dhamara! Following the miracle and epiphany and
Deriic found himself suffering from a kind of short-term memory loss. Moreover
he experienced it in a manner that would suggest that his loss of memory was
actually protecting him from something. Almost as if, by remembering something
that he would choose to forget, he might drive himself utterly mad. </span></span></div>

blackness there flared before him a fiery yellow-green light, which was quite
hellish in its presentation, wherein Deriic found himself in an immense chamber
that quite possibly had been a temple of old gods. He was able to see a great
stone altar under the discontinuous flashes of fiery yellow-green luminosity
that filled the cavern, but he could not turn his head to look around him, it
was as if his head were fixed to look in one direction, straight ahead, toward the
altar. Under the illumination of the light the whole place took on a hazy
surrealistic nature which obscured reality and invited the imagination to dark
phantasms.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now thoughts grew hazy again. A flash of light and
Deriic saw several sable columns reaching up from the floor to a cloudy height
beyond the range of the man’s vision. In the center of the cavern, over a wide
pit glowing with yellow-green fire, squatted a lattice of steel, wood, and
precious stones, the construct had spines and climbed a hundred feet into the
air. Deriic was part of the lattice, he didn’t know how this was so, but
another burst of acute fear confirmed his suspicions that couldn’t yet be
explained.</span></span></div>

then he saw the creatures bathed in the light, moving back and forth amidst the
temple, and taking care of things that needed attending. And they were
milky-white and grotesque, slippery things resembling amorphous bipedal toads
with eyes on wavering stalks. They waddled busily about the temple, carrying
bundles which they brought up to the lattice that climbed toward the skies. And
what happened next would have driven a scream of insane revelation from the man
known as Deriic Moriin, even as he saw the creatures open their bundles and
produced what could only be severed heads.</span></span></div>

moved over and placed the heads on the spines of the lattice, one after
another, pushing what remained of the hapless victim’s neck down on the sharp
spikes, almost tenderly, fitting them in place. Yes, Deriic would have screamed
had he been able to do so. The problem is that he could not. He had no throat
for which to emit a voice of any kind. And that is when he realized that the
reason he could no longer feel his arms or legs, feet or hands, was because he
was just like those hapless victims; he was nothing more than a severed head
now, trapped on a spine amidst hundreds of others melding into the lattice that
squatted over a pit that could only lead to hell.</span></span></div>

turned and gestured to Lilimiist, Aliadaarnah, Sratos, Dalanrai, and Malachaar.
His expression let them know that the time was now. "I leave you know
Sire," Rook told Darion. "I wish you the best of good fortune. May
the light of Tiisa’jhariana shine on you." Following this, the five
followed their commander out to the dining hall. It wasn't difficult to discern
who Gaarick's men were. They had a table to themselves and were making a
raucous, pinching the bottoms of the serving wenches, and wanting to know when
the dancing girls were going to be coming out. They were informed that it would
be almost an hour before the girls would begin dancing. That didn't go over too
well, and one of the men broke a bottle on the floor. And that was when Rook
stepped in.</span></span></div>

easily beaten, and the captain had never seen tears in his eyes. But what

Gaarick let the two men pass then he stepped into the Golden Sands. He looked
over at the table that he usually shared with his men and saw a stranger
sitting there. The figure appeared to be dressed like a druid, and there were
three others that remained standing that were dressed in similar fashion. It
was hard to fathom that one of these individuals here had broken Harsil’s’ arm,
possibly the one sitting at the table with his men. He immediately took a
disliking to him. Then he remembered it was a girl that had broken Harsil’s
arm, and he saw two of them standing behind the one seated. His men stood at
his approach, Rook remained where he was.</span></span></div>

Beyond the veil is a dimension of unmitigated evil and diabolical perversity. In this realm there reside Dark Gods that challenge the other in a war, where the victor lays claim to the planet. Entities enter our world at the bidding of the Gods, to acclimate it for the coming of The Darkness. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grand Central Station was hit next. Three fireballs slammed
into the roof and windows---tearing up the masonry, and shattering glass,
punching holes in the floor that erupted violently, and forcing people to
scatter in a flurry of screams. For them it seemed like the end of the world as
glass rained furiously inside the Station, while stonework flew in all
directions.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">Having reloaded, Megan set the gun down between them, while
Stephen tried to focus on moving the rig out of the street. Gears grinded in
protest, as he put the tractor in first-gear and, somehow through a veil of
pain and adrenaline, he directed the truck toward the front lawn of the house
nearby. There was the tearing of metal, and the rig shuddered as it tried to
pull lose from the pick-up attached to its tail. It wrenched itself free from
the Nissan, and jostled as it cleared the curb bordering the Victorian
structure that wavered through the broken windshield. Stephen almost pushed the
rig onto the front porch of the house, insuring that the trailer was no longer
in the street, blocking traffic.</span></span></div>

been behind the Nissan. When he pulled open the door, he stopped short. The

perhaps in her mid to late twenties was lying on the seat of the car. Her blond
hair was damp with perspiration, and matted, pasted mostly to her face. For the
briefest of seconds Stephen felt a surge of hope that the woman could somehow
still be saved. But this sensation drained away quickly as he observed that she
was turning a ghastly shade of gray. Stephen could see where the woman had been
stung by a <i>Nhei’hari.</i> A
silver-dollar-sized hole in the left side of her neck leaked a brackish fluid,
while putrid sores began to surface beneath the skin that was exposed by the
woman’s white tank-top.</span></span></div>

delirious from her own agony that she was suffering. Still, something inside
Stephen compelled him to look toward the backseat of the car. There he saw a
blond-haired angel, maybe two years of age, nestled in her safety-chair. She
stared back at Stephen with a look of mute fascination.</span></span></div>
