The Hunt for Knowledge Shopping Spree
Elbow to elbow people crowded the shopping area. Little store fronts competed for business with loud music and flashing lights. Katalea noticed a few stray dogs that had picked up their scents and were eyeing them with caution. If only the humans here had a clue just what was walking down their streets. Dakari picked up on a cornucopia of languages, but noticed that somehow shoppers and shopkeepers had found a way to converse. “The language of money,” he thought with a smile, and watched as a little blond girl in pigtails ordered a Brazilian version of a snow cone. The girl reminded him of Lainey and he wondered where she was. He knew somewhere out there in the world, the girl that had saved him from certain death at the hands of the weredragons was wearing a bracelet that suddenly was glowing red. He wondered if she had noticed.Luca stopped walking and pulled the group together. “I think we can all find what we need here. Why don’t we split up and meet back her
The Hunt for Knowledge Newly Mated
“What do you think happened?” Katalea asked Dakari as they entered their room.“I couldn’t begin to guess,” Dakari responded. He started to reach for his mate, thankful she hadn’t been hurt or worse. His instinct was to protect, but now a baser, more primal instinct was taking over. He saw the passion he felt reflected in her eyes as she began to make her way to him.There was a knock on the door, a light rapping that suggested someone who wasn’t really sure they wanted to knock to begin with.From where he stood, Dakari moved his index finger and unlocked and opened the door. Beecher strode in, a bag of chips in hand. His head turned as the door closed behind him, his eyes looking for whoever closed the door..“I forget that you guys can do stuff like that. It’s pretty cool.” He rounded on Dakari. “I’m really thirsty, can you make a soda appear?” He laughed at his own joke but jumped when a bottle of water appeared in Dakari’s hand.“Water is better for you,” Dakari said wit
The Hunt for Knowledge Howls in the Night
It took two hours but finally all were ready to head to the airport. Aquina, all smiles after her visit with her family, sat patiently in the car with shopping bags loaded on her lap. With all the shopping that Zinnia did, none were surprised at how crowded the car was. Greeting them at the airfield were the two same beautiful assistants. Their eyes widened at the sight of all the shopping bags but they sent a crew to begin loading the place.“It looks like you all had a fine time in our city,” one called out, looking directly at Beecher, “but you missed an epic party last night.”Distracted, Beecher smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Sorry ladies, other things came up. Maybe next time.” The others could see he wasn’t his usual jovial self and wondered. He knew they were shooting glances at him, but he didn’t care. His thoughts were his own, and for the moment, they were troublesome.He walked up the portable stairs to board the plane and dropped into the nearest
The Hunt for Knowledge Insatiable
Aquina’s eyes narrowed and she noticed five doors, each a different color facing the common area. She made a bee-line to the fanciest door and mumbled a string of curse words as she entered. It was a small room with a small bed and even smaller window. It was a utilitarian beige and had no flavor. Aquina turned back quickly to see if she could change rooms. The others had followed her lead and were all headed to their own doors. “I guess the saying, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’ works on doors too,” Beecher teased, poised and ready to open his own door. It was not painted and in fact looked to be made of distressed wood. “If there was any justice you would find a doggie bed inside your door.” Aquina blushed, knowing she had been caught trying to find the fanciest room. He opened his door and gasped. A large waterbed was the focal point in the medium-sized room. The walls were painted in an hombre fashion from a light sea green near the ceiling to a deep dark aquama
The Hunt for Knowledge Wolf Goddess
Rain broke the morning, pounding on the roof as if demanding to be let in. Katalea watched the gray sky lighten through the torrential downpour from the safety of the large, round bed she shared with Dakari. Currently she was trapped under his heavy limbs, but since the day looked so somber she felt no need to hurry extracting herself.She heard noise from the common area and realized that the others had begun to stir as well. The smell of coffee began to waft through the air and she longed for it. It took a few minutes to unwind Dakari off of her, but once she did, the coldness of the room shocked her. She grabbed for her hoodie and flannel pajamas and made her way toward the heavenly scent.As she padded into the kitchen she heard the front door close. It was almost inaudible, but the change in air pressure in the room confirmed her suspicion. Someone had been in the apartment.Three short beeps in quick succession had her head snapping back to the kitchen. Her first irratio
The Hunt for Knowledge Individual Needs and Selfish Desires
She walked with him to the diner. Foods he had never seen before enticed him, the scent making his mouth water. “They treat you like a servant, slinking out in the cold morning to fetch their food?” She spat at him. “You should be treated as a king with servants to do your bidding.” He looked curiously at her. There was a momentary twitch in her face, almost as if the shift hadn’t quite took. He shook it off, and turned to the man behind the counter. He placed his order, doing his best to communicate in broken Spanish and hand signals. They sat at a little table to wait and Ashara looked at him in disgust. “I will help you solve the riddle. Our pack here is army-like in size. We can find whatever treasure is promised you. You do not need those intruders. They want nothing but to use you and get the glory for themselves,” she spoke low, but with an intensity that made a light layer of sweat rise on her skin. Again, he noticed a momentary glitch. Her eyes seemed not to sy
The Hunt for Knowledge Dragged Off the Road
They loaded the car with the mundane: water bottles, snacks, rope, and blankets. No one was sure what the day might bring, and they wanted to be prepared for anything. Beecher raided the pantry in his room and brought boxes filled with chips, cookies, and protein bars. “Do you think this rust heap will get us there alive?” Aquina asked, gesturing to the car. The skeptical look on her face voiced her opinion loudly. Beecher snorted, “Underneath all the cosmetic issues beats the heart of a champion.” As he tried reassuring them of the cars’ inner worth, the door handle broke off in his hand. “Thankfully, we don’t need a door handle to accelerate.” He rolled his eyes and climbed through the window. “This baby’s engine has been modified from a military Jeep. We’re in good hands.” “I’m just hoping the metal under that big engine doesn’t rust off while we’re driving.” Aquina teased. “Maybe I should ride up front to keep an eye out for shrapnel as we head out. Beecher thrilled
The Hunt for Knowledge Between Reality and Heaven
There was no traction to be found in the sand. As if on ice, Beecher tried to turn the tires into whatever was pushing them laterally across the road. Nothing worked. They slid until they were forcefully stopped by a large cactus bush on the opposite side. Dakari yelped when his arm was punctured by the bush upon impact. For a moment there was silence. A sound Aquina had never heard before started low but steadily grew louder. To her ear it didn’t sound like what she imagined a gruppa of weredragons would sound like that was about to feast on a car full of misfits. She had fallen onto the floor of the car, wedged under Katalea, at the initial impact and tried desperately to see what was coming for them. She tried wiggling and found that Katalea too was trying to get herself back upright. Twisting her torso, she was able to see out the window, but only at an angle that told her that the rain had passed. Halfway off the floor, she was looking up, a weak sun was now streaming
