Frank stood alone in the towering room, staring at a tapestry that hung on the back wall. He was lost in thought, trying to put the various pieces of confusion together. Part of his stress was coming from the girls, who were playing their roles more openly. They were enjoying the game of pretending he was their master, and he was trying to play with them. The truth was he wasn't sure he was into the game and needed more time to figure it out. Hopefully, he would have that time, as Heather seemed prone to…-

Frank looked to the towering widows that stood at the far wall of the bedroom. Heather had designed the palace bedroom to catch the light throughout the day and placed four cathedral-like windows with stained glass peaks on the wall. They were magically enchanted to be transparent from the inside but opaque outside so nobody could look in. The effort was silly, considering their palace floated well above the city, limiting visitors to those who were invited or could fly. The room was laid out with a grand…

Heather looked in the mirror as Quinny and Umtha sat on the bed watching the display. She used her powers to change shape and become the blond-haired woman they all knew, then changed again into the copper-skinned devil with red hair that Frank fancied. She changed again into the blue skin of Lilim before blending it with her human form to become blond with blue eyes, dark horns, and a tail. She tried to tell herself this was the best of both worlds, but who was she really? Umtha was the greatest source…

The sound of dripping water was the first thing she became aware of as she came to. She lifted her head to discover she had something over it and shook vigorously to try and get it off. “You can stop trying to shake that off,” a familiar voice said. “And don’t bother trying to get up. I took the precaution of tying you with ropes that will prevent your shape shifting.” Heather knew that voice from the street right before they were attacked. Breanne had said it was Xandria but it all happened…

Heather stretched and rolled over to lay more snugly in Frank’s arm as he leaned against an oak tree in Quinny’s forest. The morning sun had just risen, and they were comfortably settled together. The previous day had been full of exciting moments as she and the others enjoyed the game they were playing. Quinny set out a fabulous tea party in a field of yellow flowers in honor of Heather. There was a single large tree in the center, whose wide-spreading branches shaded a long table covered with sugary…

“Whoah," Heather cried as her eyes came open, and she sat up in bed. "That was certainly a dream." She shook her head to clear her wild thoughts and quickly replayed what had happened. She had asked Gisley, the lunar fairy, to use her power over dreams to insert Heather into those of her loved ones. One by one, she made love to women in her life, showing them the affection they had long sought. For Quinny the road in a magical boat down a meandering stream in the love wood. They eventually arrived at a…

In the marble halls of Blackbast's temple Frank and Blackbast sat together, listening to Heather's tale. She explained the dream she had the night before and that she knew Frank had the same one. She then explained how she knew it and how Gisley had the power to affect their dreams. She blushed red as she admitted that she and Jaina had planned everything, and they intentionally involved Frank. “You mean that was real?” Frank said as Heather twisted nervously before him. “No, it was just a dream,…

A slight breeze ruffled the golden hair that hung around a set of delicately curved white horns. A long rope-like tail slowly swayed as if it had a mind of its own while its owner fixated on her contemplation. Heather stood at the railing of a grand balcony set on the side of their floating palace. From here she could look down on all of Paradise city and admire the achievement of what they had built. Hundreds of players now crawled through the streets and surrounding countryside, seeking fortunes and…

“So what do we do?” Quinny asked as they watched the woman strike up a conversation with a few people. “We drag her away and kill her,” Umtha spat as she scowled. “Nobody has to do anything,” Frank said. “None of us look like how we did when she first met us. I doubt she will have any idea who we are.” “But she must be here for a reason,” Quinny insisted. “And she knows Heather’s secret.” “Maybe if we just ignore her, she will move on and go away,” Frank suggested. “Or…
