Drifter Challenge – House 5, Ch. 5
It’s not long after Angel gives birth to his twin girls that I am taken by the Celestials as well. This does not result in a pregnancy, thank goodness, but does leave me with more questions than answers. I am told that Angel’s baby will be special …or ‘not like any others on this, or…

Drifter Challenge – House 5, Ch. 4
It’s not long after my encounter with the Celestials that Elaine learns that her mother, Delia, has died. She was an old woman, by this time, and death is a natural part of life. Despite the fact that Delia Caine relied more upon her logic and intellect than her Magicks, she is given the Urn…

Drifter Challenge – House 5, Ch. 3
My name is Angel… well, that’s as close to my actual name as most people on Dry Earth are going to get. I gave myself the last name Douglas because it means ‘dark river’ and I thought it sounded strong, yet poetic. In my youth, I became fascinated with artists from this world who came…

Drifter Challenge – House 5, Ch. 2
The thing to remember is that, being five generations into our family’s Mission, that a lot of changes have taken place since Austin Caine first set foot in the abandoned desert town of Oasis Springs. It isn’t as abandoned as it used to be. My family has built two houses in two different areas of…

Tradition being tradition, as soon as the weather is nice enough, we head to the park in Oasis Springs to hang out. Elias meets us there and we spend the long, glorious day skating and playing chess. Fiona runs off with some kids and plays on the swings. Salvatore and I try our hand at…

Drifter Challenge – House 4, Ch. 6
We celebrated two birthdays recently. The first, my husband and life mate, Salvatore, became an elder. He has always been older than I am, but I never felt it so much as now. It does not help that pregnancy and child birth extend my age. But I am so young now and worry that we…

Drifter Challenge – House 4, Ch. 5
This is Sixam, the home-world of the Celestials. It’s so beautiful and for a moment, I wish my brother Elias could see it. I have often wondered if the Celestial hybrids who dwell here have the capabilities to go there. It took me so long to create and refine the portal in our lab. Could…

Drifter Challenge – House 4, Ch. 4
The last time we spoke, I told you about the portal I had created. Well, I did it. I upgraded the thing enough that I could contact other worlds. At first, it was just sound waves. But then one day, a visitor followed me through. She did not stay long if, in fact, it was…

Drifter Challenge – House 4, Ch. 3
I had my first visit from the Celestials. It seems to happen at least once or twice a generation in my family. They pop in, scoop one of us up, and return us a tidbit of knowledge. Or… sometimes a baby to help guide us. I was not gifted with a baby to guide me.…
