    Summary

    The first shiver curled up her spine like fire, crawling through her muscles and making her knees buckle. Her lungs burned with every ragged breath, and a pressure rose behind her eyes so intense it felt like they might shatter. Bones creaked and shifted unnaturally. Her fingers were stretched into sharp claws, her ribs bent unnaturally and every tendon screamed in protest. Rumi collapsed onto the floor, her teeth gnashing as fur erupted along her arms and spine, prickling, itching, spreading in angry, hot waves.
    Faintly she registers that she is lying in some back alley, and not confined in the safety of the basement like usual. No chains to hold her down, no steel door to prevent her rampage. As panic flooded her whole body, she picked up the soft voices of her two closest friends slowly coming closer, before everything went black and her mind was overtaken by something else.

    Or in other words: A werewolf Rumi fanfic

    Summary

    In the millennial year of our lord--John the Dragonslayer, the undying monarch of Tier and High King of the Nine Forsworn Realms--eight knights converge upon Canaan Castle to represent their respective kingdoms in a tournament. Those who prove themselves worthy shall join the (diminished) ranks of the ageless Dragonslayer Knights. With them, their lieges shall ascend to the High King's court, where they shall have His Majesty's ear for all eternity. Or at least for as long as their knights survive.

    Sir Gideon of Drearburh was raised to be a footsoldier, not a knight. She is, however, the closest thing to a knight that the Kingdom of Hadea can muster. Her liege, Princess Harrowhark, wishes to join the High King's court that she might seek aide for her people in their ongoing famine. Sir Gideon never wants to return to Hadea again. If Gideon places well in the games, both their needs shall be served. Unfortunately Sir Gideon can barely ride a horse.

    Sir Naberius of Ida, in contrast, is a veteran of the tournament circuit. He is certain to place highly. Or, at least *he* thinks so. And he is quite happy to be forever 23.

    Both Gideon and Naberius ought to know by now that magic always comes at a price.

    Summary

    She shot the energy conduit.

    A brilliant burst of light blinded her, and she felt her body burning up in the microseconds it took for the energy wave to hit her. Time seemed to slow to a crawl. She hardly understood what Vendetta meant, 'whence it all began', how it would destroy the Reapers, or if her death would be painful. She hoped not; she thought she deserved a little more than that, after all that she'd sacrificed.

    She smiled as it all went dark.

    Lieutenant Commander Janine Shepard woke with a start, her lips parched, and her hair matted in sweat. She brought up her omni-tool and displayed the time: 5:27, 17th of March, 2183.
