For want of a better idea, Merry trailed miserably after the scruffy, foul mouthed human, and tried to piece together the last half hour. One minute, he’d been riding comfortably in the sleigh on a recon flight. The next, he was lying dazed on the ground complete with tweeting birds circling his head. Fall from height very much implied, then, and he could only hope that the sleigh had still been at sub-magic speeds when he'd parted company from it or it could take the others all night to find him. The human... child? Probably a child. It loo...

Rob looked at the scene in front of him in dismay. Chunks of masonry were strewn across the street and twisted rebar protruded from the ravaged buildings like tentacles. Choking dust still swirled in the air but most of the screaming had died away as fleets of ambulances had ferried the injured to hospital. Rob's crew had missed most of the immediate aftermath. Their job was to sit vigil, now, poised to help if and when the search and rescue teams pulled anyone else from the rubble.A dog zigzagged across the street in front of him, nose to t...

"It's a, a social anthropology thing." She clears her throat, shuffling towards the edge of...

The care and keeping of a meerkat on a sugar high wasn't anything her college courses had prepared her for.The day had started pretty well, actually. Tom had finally agreed to let her help with the penguin show, and then she'd done such a good job - well, that's what she'd inferred from his gruff "you'll do" - that he'd let her take Linus on his walk - his ...

I have to get it working. Four hours without life support and we'll all be dead, but that's not the main thing. I mean, it is. Obviously. None of us want to die out here, least of all me. But we've also got a point to prove. They said we weren't ready. The Council fought us every inch of the way, and I know it was only Ethan's intervention that got our expedition over the line. Ethan's name, really. There's only so much can be denied to the crown prince, even by the Council. And the reason Ethan fought them so hard? Me. So we're ...
