I must make myself available to live. Once upon a time...... No, our story won’t start like that. Desolation, Middleton. A small village west of the Moon, and east of the Sun, the southernmost village in the Country of Charming. Population, 175. Ironic isn’t it? Desolation in Charming. Or more like Charming with a little Desolation, either way, this one mule village wasn’t like other small villages you saw in the movies. Unless it was a black and white silent film where all the people wore nothing but fur, the pavements were chunks of concrete and they lived too far from the Capital. Without the luxury of a Starbucks, or even a real supermarket. Only exchanging fish and grains when the weather wasn’t a torturing cold force that froze over even the sun. The high school and pre-school were one and the same, with an old chalkboard and elders that couldn’t even remember their own last names as teachers. Only a few we

I must make myself available to life. Catori never thought much of the world. Though she now had reason enough in the past few days, the pressures of being a young lady were burdening her down. Never did Catori imagine it like this. All her life, she was told how to live and who to love. But today that will change. In hopes of things getting better, Catori went to the only place she thought could help her, be her refuge in a time of confusion. With a racing heart, Catori knocked on the old rusting iron door, wondering if the occupants inside were still expecting visitors. The door swung open with a creaking sound and dragged on the ground. “Needs grease,” Catori said to herself, as she stepped inside the threshold. The old automatic door slammed behind Catori, as her eyes adjust to the dim light that washed the inside of the Church. It seemed to be the biggest building in Desolation, and the only

Trying to prove something to someone is never a valid reason for doing anything. The moment Catori's parents came back from the Capital, she left the house. Not only did she want fresh air, but she needed human interaction other than her family. Catori walked down to the old pond situated just behind the schoolyard, the usual hang-out spot for people her age. Of course, they didn't work because their parents never let them. They can't leave either and no one wanted to get married yet. So they all did the next best thing, went out from dusk until dawn, tell stories, drank stolen brandy from their parents' cupboards and goofed around, with the occasional destroying a few properties. “Are you coming to the forbidden mountains with us?’’ Halona asked in a sing-song voice, as she danced around Catori. “It’s called forbidden for a reason,” Catori informed her best friend, as she draped a slender arm across Hal

Life is always accommodating my requests... ___________________________________________________________________ Elsewhere in the Alpina mountain of Desolation, Rydstorm, the leader of the Rexona clan. Paced back and forth in the frosty room of the bathhouse. Still not believing that he had finally found his mate, he hated the fact that she was clinging to a human and the fact that she seemed terrified of him. But he knew that either way he will get her, even if he had to kill her human counterpart. She was his mate and he would do whatever it took to get her. Rydstorm thought about shaving to seem more appealing to her, or maybe smiling more. His mean look was what made him so unapproachable. Just then, the doors were pushed in roughly and in walked Rydstorm's second in command and best friend, Fang. Standing tall and mighty, walking with nothing but confidence. "What's this I hear about going to that place?" Fang asked, taking
