Fate's Destiny Chapter 2: New Arrivals
Deedee86

Palluck sent a glance as his brother left, turning his full attention back toward his unborn sister. "So... last summer we went on this journey, and came in sight of this large thing of water called a lake. There were other creatures swimming and playing in it, and it looked so much fun, but Father said to stay away. He said that Namicans couldn't swim very well, and that the creatures there were nice, but too rough for us. I'm not sure why we stopped our journey there and came back, but the walk was pretty fun. I didn't know Mother could whistle like that."

His sister stretched a paw toward the membrane as if reaching for him. In mild surprise, Palluck extended his own paw, touching hers.

"I've been watching you for a few weeks now, and I'm still not sure what kind of Namican you'll be. You seem to listen well, better than Maldore. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice older brother, but can be a bit rough around the edges at times. Hello..."

Palluck suddenly felt wetness on his extended paw. Pulling back, he saw that his sister had made a slight cut in the membrane with her tiny claw, still scratching. The young Namican suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and lodge in his throat. He tried to stammer, but his tongue twisted.

His sister was coming!

Palluck could only stare in fascination as his sister kicked both footpaws, claws lashing out. Several more slashes penetrated the outer membrane, fluid trickling out exponentially. She extended all limbs in every direction, the thin fissures widening in response.


Maldore squinted. At first he though his eyes were seeing the figure because he wanted to see something, but he quickly realized that this one moved as if injured. The Namican started down the hill slowly at first, picking in the pace up to a run as he realized the figure coming toward him through the mists was stumbling heavily. He called out.

"You okay? I'm coming!"

The figure was a male Namican a few seasons older than him. Some blood trickled down one side of his head, his eyes unfocused. Every time he fell down to one knee, he just got back up, pushing forward. Maldore could here him mumbling unintelligible statements, the only clear word, "Gole."

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

The strange Namican finally stopped, peering closely at Maldore. After a long moment, he stumbled once more, unable to go another step.

"Help... Gole."

"What is Go-ley?"

The Namican tapped his paw against Maldore's chest. "You. Help. Head hurts."

Maldore gave a quick nod, motioning. "The den's this way. I got you, just one step at a time. Not too fast!"

The young Namican wasn't sure later how to describe the sensation, but it quickly overpowered him as he aided the injured figure into the den, only to see Palluck and a very sopping wet newborn female staring right at him.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
