nodded. Ethan shook his head, knowing sheâd accepted the situation much too quickly. Jenny was far too stubborn to give up like that; he knew that in the coming years it would take all his powersâphysical and mentalâto keep her from returning.
Ethan left them alone to their goodbyes. Inside the temple, he gathered his and Jennyâs packs. Rory Amos was placing a blanket over Harrisonâs body.
âCâmon, Rory. Itâs time to go.â
A gentle hand touched his shoulder, stopping him. Something flowed between them as Ix Chel came close. An electric charge carrying a promise of untold wanton pleasures and deadly violence. Standing next to him in human form, her musky fragrance sent his senses reeling. She pressed herself against him, her hair a thin and ineffective barrier between their flesh.
She leaned forward, bringing her lips near his neck.
And licked him.
Her raspy tongue caressed him for a brief moment. She drew back even as he felt his body respond against his will.
âWhat was that for?â Ethan asked, once his voice was his own again.
âEarlier I gave you much pain. Now I give you a small pleasure, for you have given me a worthy mate. For that I am grateful. I will assure his happiness here.â
Ethan had no doubt she would.
âEnjoy your life together, Ix Chel. I hope we never meet again.â
She smiled, purposely showing her sharp teeth. A challenge in the animal kingdom.
âAnd I cannot wait until we do.â She strode away.
Ethan left her to her people. Outside, Jenny came to him and took his hand. The new look in her eyes went well with her nearly naked body. The thin material couldnât hide the signs of her excitement.
Ethan realized that from now on, thereâd be a woman on every expedition.
For once, the idea didnât upset him.
He wondered what kind of adventures they would have together.
With a smile, he pulled a cheroot from his pack.
Starting with tonight.

Legacy
© 2014 JG Faherty
Sean Black, a teenage science whiz in a small New England town, leads a pretty normal life...until the night of the storm. After that, nothing is the same. He experiences strange nightmares. He hallucinates about alien creatures and begins to notice weird physical changes in his body, things no one else seems to see. The girl heâs had a crush on for years is acting strange as well, delivering cryptic messages to him that things are not what they seem. When he discovers a secret room in the library, Sean finds himself faced with a life-changing decision, one that could either save the world or plunge it into centuries of death and destructionâwith Sean ruling over all.

It began with the storm, and the nightmare. Afterwards, nothing was ever the same.
Iâve never been the same.
The nightmare came first, at least for me.
I walked across a bleak landscape. The black dome of the sky extended forever in all directions, unmarred by stars or planets, yet somehow there was light enough for me to see by. Gray, featureless land stretched out to all sides. No hills or mountains interrupted the desolate plain; in fact, the only evidence of geologic activity was the presence of large stones, boulders really, that lay half-buried in the grassless, monochrome soil.
Not that life didnât exist in that dreary place. A double handful of trees, each one spaced hundreds of feet from its nearest kin, dotted the monotonous topography. Their distance from each other suggested a repulsion for their own kind, either environmental or emotional. Drawing close to one, I understood their aversion to proximity; in fact, I felt it myself. Festering wounds gaped in the drab bark, weeping fluids colored mold green and pus yellow. An atrocious
