There had been no other obvious tantrums or loud shouting, but Sam had left early in the morning obviously upset about something and had switched off his … More Session 34 – Assault on the Vault

With an involuntary start, Sam suddenly sat upright in the bed. Were he in human rather than his Dragonkin form he was sure he’d have been covered in sweat.

Banshee and Akira stood on the edge of the park trying to tempt the young sociopath to move away from the surrounding buildings he was hammering with his misses.
