Monstrous Regiment Terry Pratchett Novels & Stories

She was very wrong. “What do you mean by that! Y- You crazy girl! You’ve basically made a pact with devil! I told you not to speak to that man!” Her pale face was ashen, her hands clutched her head at her approaching migraine, but most of all, she prominently glared at Alexis. Then as if losing all hope her hands fell dramatically to her side, “The Kaedmen Empire has no hope…” she muttered with desolate eyes that stared up at the ceiling, searching for some kind of light. Hector was also exactly the same, except a much more milder version. He pinched the bridge of his nose with an annoyed expression as he summoned mountains of book. Some related to Vampires and others that might just help th

A monster? The moment we step onto the grounds, the smell hits. It's the smell of copper and rot and something disgusting. My stomach lurches. Kira swears under her breath. Isaiah's jaw tightens as the backup soldiers fan out, their boots silent on the snow, their weapons drawn. Then the chanting reaches us. It's loud enough to vibrate in my bones. My hand rests on my stomach, my palm flattening over my bump on instinct. 'Please,' I think desperately. 'Please be okay.‘

"Vira'thak zorrin mala'kai." The blood inside their bodies rebelled. It rushed upward, twisting violently within their veins, forcing its way out through their eyes, mouths, and ears. They choked on their own essence, their bodies convulsing as crimson streams poured from every orifice. Then, with a final gurgled breath, they collapsed one by one, their lives pooling beneath them. Good. Didn't Rorden tell them who exactly they were coming to fight? I could take down a whole fucking army in a battle single-handedly. I was the fucking Monster of the North!

“The natural way. Yeah, right. Listen, Terry, I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re a huge moron. Hu-uge. Everything you’ve been told is utter nonsense and you’re a fool to have believed it.” “How is this meant to help?” asked Claire. “This is what she gets for teaching her kid to stab a stranger in the heart. Plus it makes me feel better.” “You’re wrong,” said Terry defiantly, no hint of doubt in her eyes. “You are an unbeliever. There are others like you, trying to overthrow the Masters, but they will not succeed and neither will you.” So, there was a resistance. That might come in useful. I leaned down closer to Terry. “The demons you think of angels are monsters who eat people. T

I kept pounding until the last of my strength drained away, and I collapsed on the floor. Then, a sliver of light cut through the darkness. Moving toward it, I saw that it was Rosa. Her once-proud face was now covered with deep, crisscrossing scars. Coupled with the cold gleam in her eyes, her whole presence exuded unsettling eeriness. From the dim cellar, she looked even more terrifying. "Hazel, were you reborn too?" I froze. "What?" "Why did Dexter get into Grandcrest College this time? Why did Theo blow through all his money? Even you got into college! Why are you still living better than me?"

Rumors had flown around and those rumors were known to be true for how heartless and cruel the man had ruled for years. "Grandpa Pablo, are we going there?" Little Beatrice asked as she watched the man drop their bags into the carriage. "Hmm." "But, they'll hit us and stake us." She said, blinking her red eyes. "They stake witches, not vampires Beatrice." He answered and she shook her head. "But Grandpa Pablo, the Eastern border is full of weird creatures..the wolves." "Hmm." "That is the only place that can guarantee your safety little Beatrice." The man said as he placed her on the seat of the carriage. And off..the drove to a new Land. TBC

Dilo growled. “Grub from Dracoterrum and not heal like wonky leg, Grub once bend arm to almost break, couldn’t steal from fat merchant men for long time,” Grub said, peering at his arm and flexing it at the elbow. “So how did you even get here Grub?” Rex asked. “Grub tell you he join army with friend. Grub make another friend who help him join imperial army here after I leave home again, big battle on capitol every month make me not want to die before more skin marks, so Grub starts searching for heroic monster to battle.”

I made a plan that night to end her. The next night my parents had a big important party with some of my father’s clients from work. I knew that Rose would be over. When she arrived my mother kissed my forehead and left with my father. The sun hadn’t set yet so I asked Rose to go for a walk with me. She agreed and we took off into the woods behind my house. I got ahead of her and then made her think she had lost me. While she frantically looked for me I snuck behind her. I found a large piece of wood and crept up behind her. She heard the brush below my feet break as I approached her and quickly turned around. I then unleashed the Monster inside me. It was brutal and very sloppy. I honestly

She was nowhere the girl everyone watched to grow in grace and sophistication. A wide smile grew on his lips as he looked at her with great intensity in his eyes of intrigue and amusement. "Look at you, Little Raven, you are no different from me." An amused chuckle escaped from the Prince Regent as he taunts the Crown Princess strangling her. Morrigan gritted her teeth, her eyes murderous, failing to recognize anyone. Everything around here does not matter at this moment, everything around her is dark and all she can see is the face of the devil in front of her. "You are willing to kill anyone who gets in your way. Morrigan, you are turning into a monster, you are insane!" Morrigan relentles
