Grim Fable Novels & Stories

The griffin clawed Samuel to help his owner out. However, Samuel shot a fire beam into his shoulder. It dug into the wound like hail, rushed at it like a storm, and burned at it like hot water. For the griffin, Samuel pushed his index finger against the griffin's forehead and shot a beam as well, and fried his brain. SHRIEK! The griffin flailed in two seconds and died. He stopped flapping his wings and fell like a bullet to the ground. Samuel was enjoying the moment he tormented the griffin whisperer that had lost his griffin. His mind couldn’t think as his body moved on its own. His eyes dilated in impossible big and his heart was racing.

"Maybe if it was an E-rank rift... Hm?! Yeah, that's it!" In the body of this strange woman, I jumped for joy, why think logically when I was an anomaly? "I'm a playable character, and this is my game! If I'm too weak to complete this, I just need to level up!" I was familiar with the concept of video games and, as such, I knew what the ultimate weapon was for a player seeking rapid power. "Open subquests" |Subquest: Defeat Dire Wolf in Fabriza Forest. Fabriza Forest is to the east of your location.

No… this was The Hunt of the Hollow Woods. And it hadn’t happened in twenty years, or at least that’s what the Grimhold council of Elders had been whispering all this while.. Beside me, Grimhold adjusted his heavy belt, a gleaming silver dagger strapped to his thigh, which, if you thought about it, was really more symbolic than useful. His eyes glinted with an eerie amber sheen, then locked onto mine. I offered a tight smile. “You ready to lose, old man?” He snorted. “Dominic, my dear friend, this isn’t a battle of charm, but a test of will. Keep your jokes for the exit, if you make it out that is.”

It hurt to breathe but I attempted to take in lungfuls of air to keep my brain alert. "You're weak, why even put up a fight when you know you're going to lose?" Griffin taunted, moving his shoulder in a circle. His once dislocated shoulder was set back into place, the sight putting me on edge. "Because you're not fit to run a pack," I could feel the warmth of my blood as it rolled down my body, "the Midnight Sun pack belongs to me." "Over my dead body," he crouched into attack position, letting his canines elongate and his nails grow into claws.

"I'm here to do my job. You provide the muscle on the ice; I provide the medical clearance. That’s the arrangement." "The arrangement is that you belong to this pack's jurisdiction," he growled, finally turning. His eyes flashed a warning amber, the wolf beneath the skin pressing hard against the surface. "Grimford isn't some safe haven in the UK. It’s a war zone. You being the son of Edward Quinn doesn't change the scent of 'victim' hanging off you like cheap cologne."

"Eight million trade tokens is the final count, and my alpha beast is being far too lenient with your thieving skin as it is!" "Money?! Our low rank has none! All my old skin has left is my physical flesh, so if your young claws want that eight million, your boots will have to step right over my dead wolf corpse!" Elder Mrs. Grimfen screams at the top of her lungs, collapsing directly onto the dirt floor in another hysterical rogue fit.

"I plan to beat you bloody" *Orley* I stride into my library, frustration gnawing at my heels. Today should have been the day when everything is once again set right. Grimmock was publicly hanged this afternoon for committing several murders. The man was a frightening piece of work, and I'm grateful to no longer be in his debt. I witnessed the hanging, then went to a tavern to celebrate with a few tankards. When the tavern closed, I headed home. What I truly want is a game of cards, but every club I visit bars my entrance, informs me that I'm not welcome. I expect it of Tristan Rafe’s Club, but the others make little sense. I haven't run up a debt elsewhere.

"It was Ethan, wasn't it?" Cold hatred burned in Sean's eyes as he looked at me. "Was this the dirty trick he used to steal you from me? I treated him as my best friend, yet he stole my wife!" "How are objective facts a trick?" My eyes became cold. "It's not like I can't forgive you..." I deliberately paused to watch Sean's reaction. Sure enough, his eyes lit up, and he held my hand tightly. He said, "Blossom, just say it. I'll go through hell and back if that's what you want!"

He always stared, taking his eyes off and placing them somewhere else when I turn to him. He was addicting to be with in more ways than one. I still remember the rage I'd felt when that knife had gone at him. The pure unadulterated push to kill. To tear to pieces. From the ancient books Father kept in the library before he passed, the gryms were explained as creature who went on quests, messengers. And gryms weren't usually murderous. There was something off about these ones. Sighing, I let the last paperwork fall from my hand into the heap. Beads of sweat coated the surface of my chest, down to the biceps on my arms.

"That was me. Just because Zane was jealous of my eyes, you shaved my head and bullied me until I stood on a rooftop ready to jump. "And when I was about to jump—" A voice echoed in my mind. [Binding complete.] The reward for completing the mission wasn’t $100 million. It was $1 billion. The other $900 million had already been advanced to me over the years. It didn’t have human emotions, but it raised me well. It used money to transfer me to better schools and told me that studying was my only way out. Back then, I had relied on it completely. I was afraid it would disappear, so I once asked what a “mission” even was.
