    Lico: He looked as if he couldn’t believe what he seeing, and he was both confused and alarmed. He was struggling to explain what he was seeing in English and just decided to convey it with some hand gestures. He showed the two travelers a trace of something that slithered on the ground with a body of at least two feet thick. Jade questioned their guide’s judgement and began to explain to him that what he was describing was borderline mythical. As Jade was explaining, their attention was caught by a sound of rustling in the trees. Hakim carefully moved towards where the noise came from, and his eyes suddenly widened. He pointed to a tree that was roughly ten meters from where they were at… and he whispered “Agogwe! Agogwe!” while desperately trying to contain his excitement from the volume of his voice. Both Dane and Jade had no idea what he was getting all excited about. They steadily stared at the leaves on the branches of the trees that Hakim pointed out, but they could not see anything out of the ordinary. Not far from that tree, they then saw some movements behind the tall bush. 
    Elly: As expected, Elly had her head and eyes pointed down at the party. She remained seated on the couch, keeping to her shy self, and refused to mingle with the other students no matter how Hazel tried to push. In Hazel’s mind, her friend had to build some confidence when interacting with others whether she wanted to or not. Hazel kept on handing her cups of punch which she kept on drinking since she had nothing else to do. After just a few cups, the alcohol kicked in, & Elly began to finally loosen up a bit. She finally lifted her head and looked up at the people around her.

    We love control.  The ability to predict and organize our lives as we want them. As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.

    A hope lost. A fury reborn. An ancient warrior awakens. 
    Damian Vesik is back ... but his time in the Abyss changed him. As he grapples to understand his oddly fluctuating powers, a call from his trusted mechanic, Samir, is the last thing he needs. But the strange occurrences at the autobody shop can’t be ignored. 
    Calling on Nixie—and a rather odd gift from a water witch clan—Damian uncovers a dreadful creature haunting Samir’s shop. Knowing he can’t face a basilisk in his current state, his only option is to seek out Gaia in his quest for answers. 
    Yet as destruction closes in on St. Louis, the only hope of salvation could be the ghost of an Utukku ... one who is downright cranky about being dead.

    Wade is this close to finishing an exhaustive three-month excavation on Summer Winter—a planet where temperatures can drop a hundred degrees within hours and its storms are deadly. Unfortunately, before he can clock out of the space barnacle for good, one of those expensive vehicles breaks down again. Of course the LES Corporation tasks his crew to fix it. That’s the reward for getting all assigned jobs done to standard or better. 
    Upon arrival at the site, his crew finds that the vehicle isn’t broken down at all. It’s destroyed! The wreckage shows definitive evidence that they’re standing in the middle of a murder scene. Before they can contact LES or figure out what is going on, their trusted and docile two-ton work animal goes berserk. 
    Those who survive its inexplicable attack manage to escape to a nearby Breather, but it’s there that Wade uncovers something hidden away by their employer. He realizes that the rapidly diminishing oxygen levels, the rampaging animal, and no communications due to an incoming meteor storm are the least of their problems.
