She has anything you could dream about. Fame, wealth, respect. Yet.. is any of that worth it?

Those above her would say yes.

Those below her would say yes.

Some scarce on the both sides would... be proud to say no.

As she looks upon the world decaying around her by the day, she can confide in few and trust fewer. All she has now are the abilities she was born with and the knowledge she absorbed... Maybe a few friends she will meet along the way.

Yeah, yeah, the cover art is adequate and not to scale in the story, laugh it up. I spent all of eight minutes in photoshop on it. And as far as I see it, it looks decent from afar. So, until some artist offers to make me a new one or I spend a week in front of my monitor, I'm sticking to the one I got.

Stupid ponies, never knowing when to leave well enough alone. They're always sticking their muzzles where they aren't welcome....

It would seem.. that some other forces don't recognize when they're not wanted either.

..or they do know and just chose to ignore it.
===============================================

Before this, there is another... seriously, this is a fan work and in no way officially connected to Prey and a Lamb. PaaL is a read I will recommend always and to everyone. So go. Shoo. Go read it before you read this. Go on. It will still be here when you're done.

Though none of them planned it, well... here they are. Better make the best of it and try to find a way back home. If worst comes to worst, at least they have each other, right?

*bzzzt*

"We interrupt our relaxing musical broadcast to bring you the latest local news."

"Drivers, be alive and awake out there, with your eyes wide open and already changing route if you have to. Due to yet another road incident, E40 leading to Brugge is completely blocked."

"A few of our listeners who were already turned around by authorities before we had a chance to warn them reported a.. now get this.. a heavy armored governmental presence, with highly-trained veterinarians on site. You know the folks, those weirdos that can tell the breed of a horse just by the smell of their surroundings. Damn aliens."

*Hahaha..* "Seems like someone will be in a lot of trouble for exterminating yet another specimen of some rare and endangered species while doing eighty. Also, listen.. gentlemen environmentalists and missuses ecologists. We know the beetles and birdies are pretty, but.. barring a whole road? Come on, let people live here! This country is already cramped as it is!"

"Well... what is done is done, I suppose. So, be safe out there and remember.. only we, bring you the latest news!"

========================================================
Something much shorter for you to read while I still work on... That OTHER Thing.

You know, that other enormously overblown thing.
(Seriously guys, there's even a 20,000 words chapter annddd... a few over 15,000. Almost all others over 10,000 . Sweet baby Jesus on a motorbike.)

Also, the cover might not be perfect, but I'll always have a soft spot for it as my own creation.

A painstakingly practiced and ancient, centuries-old secret art- of plugging in a TV. Each and every time it is a journey full of unexpected twists of fate.

Where is the manual?

Why was it in a few languages, but not yours?

Despite having at most two slots in there, why do you suddenly have eight different cables?

What is the purpose of that little plastic gimmick you found, since it doesn't fit anywhere?

And just what in the nine circles of hell is a male socket?

=======================================
Btw, if someone knows the artist behind the cover, please, do tell.
I would like to congratulate them on their taste in humor personally.
