Territorial Table And Tavern Novels & Stories

And suddenly, he couldn't stop talking about her. How loyal she was. How she wasn't like other girls. They got detention together. Skipped class to hit internet cafés. Fought side by side. Carl never ran out of things to say about her. I'd ask, careful, hesitant, "Do you like her?" He'd laugh—loud, dismissive—like I'd just told the dumbest joke. When he finally stopped, he said, "Mia's just a tomboy. I'd never go for someone like her. The only one I like is—"

The other single-story storefronts were closed up for the night, the bright white from the bar's sign the only illumination aside from the orange-ish glow of streetlamps. Her tavern was pretty large in comparison to the other buildings. The gray clapboard siding had no doubt been weathered by salt-infused sunshine and wind off the sea. It resembled a large crab shack with burgundy shutters framing the large lower and small upper window. The front door had a gold plaque indicating Locals Only, along with hours of operation and that they were closed on Sundays and Mondays. Above that was an enormous fishing hook mounted to the frame that could've taken down Moby Dick.

Darach can bet that he was bloody in love with this wee creature. "Yeah and we just came to check on Amber. We will just leave now and give you guys some space. I have heard that lycans are extremely territorial of their mates, they seem to mate with them in the first twenty-four hours of their meeting. And if... look I'm not doubting you but if he's really your mate and not a new boy toy than we should give you space for bonding. Right, dear?" Rome looked towards Rebecca. Rebecca nodding at his question. "And I hope that he didn't end up like the pretty vampire." Rome whispered low. But high enough for Darach to hear.

Countless gazes were fixed on them as the crowd whispered among themselves. James and Yemima paid no heed to the whispers and simply entered the city. Then, they headed toward a tavern. There was a unique tavern in the center of Doom City—Chaos Tavern. It was a tavern that belonged to the Dooms and was only open to powerful figures. Chaos Tavern was divided into nine floors. To reach a certain floor, one must have reached the equivalent stage. One must have crossed into the Quasi Acme Rank to reach the ninth floor. Rumors said that there was a unique passage on the ninth floor, in which a small world was hidden. The small world was created by the Doom Race.

If we would rate all of them, the leading territory would be the North that is ruled by the Gonzales, followed by South, and then East, and lastly, West. At first, Mera Clan was at the bottom, but because of the bloodshed that happened between the clans for territories, they acquired one of Suarez’s territories, that maybe became one of the reasons for Victoria’s accident. In order to make the territory stronger, you’d need to invade some part of territories above yours until you progressively put them below. The only rule in their crazy territorial game is that the ones above can’t invade the lower ones. For instance, North is prohibited to invade South because it’s lower than them. So, all

I stay still, watching him trying to read his expression as he familiarizes himself with everything, like he's seeing it for the first time. Then, without a word, he reaches the far end of the table, and I notice how his hands glide over the surface, as if searching for something. "What are you doing?" I ask, stepping closer. He closes his eyes, stretches his hand underneath the table, and suddenly, there's a click. “Every territory house has this round table somewhere in the house.” He mutters. "I want to see if it has a secret compartment like the rest." He pulls up a chair, blows the thick dust off it, and sits down heavily.

I growled softly, my voice a rough rumble that easily cut through the high-pitched shriek of the grinding machinery across the street. He swallowed hard, slowly pulling his calloused hand away from his wrench as he stepped aside, leaving the heavy timber door completely unguarded. Inside, the tavern was a chaotic maze of stained timber benches, thick tobacco smoke, and the deep-throated laughter of Southern Drift mercenaries celebrating their upcoming deployment. High-output electronic slot terminals lined the far wall, their cheap blue display screens throwing a flickering light across the pale faces of the local information brokers. Aria cut a direct path toward the back booth where an old

The case held a single folded document and a vial. The document was technical in a way she had not expected, dense with old territorial notation, the kind of language that mapped power geography the way surveyors mapped physical terrain, using coordinates that referred not to locations but to relational positions between sources of authority and the land that carried them. She had seen this notation in the covenant copy. She had not expected to see it in a document produced by a faction that believed the covenant was permanently removed.

The Deadlands are so far removed from the Roguelands, situated between Ryatt’s old stomping ground and the wide, raging rivers separating the western edge of Eastonia with what was once Rifthold, with Tarsian beyond. James and Andrew toss blank paper down on the tables, directing everyone to write their votes. Pens scribble as I walk back to the head table, leaning my leg against it. After a few minutes, the first man, Jacob, who helps run our mechanic shop, approaches the head table. He holds my gaze as he drops his vote in a large metal bowl, then nods. One by one, my pack files up to the head table. It’s quiet as the votes are cast. Even the children who’d been playing in the corner have

- Terence commented, the attendant who worked for him. He was one of the employees among the other businessmen around groups of employees there, although Nicollas had noticed that the movement of people was increasing in the area. Since the money in his cash was growing, but the demand would require more help for the work, he had stock to buy anyway. Being the two tables to clean, and dirty dishes in the sink, when he grumbled, hearing the fellow laugh and put the broom aside. His taverns, pubs and bistros that he had built were well filled.
