(the city of new york)

Under the city of New York are thousands of miles of drainage pipes, abandoned subway tunnels, ancient caverns, and stone passages. In this hidden place, far from the harsh urban society, lives a group of people, banded together to give hope a second chance. They live simply, peacefully, taking only what the world Above casts away, and aided by a few select Helpers who keep the secret and guide others in need to this secret world. Their largest secret is a man named Vincent, who serves as a teacher and protector to all who live there. In features, he resembles something from a fairy tale: possessing a lion's face and claws, but a man's body, and a poet's heart. The woman in his life is named Catherine, and they share a bond of love which is unbreakable....

Come, explore their world....

"Conqueror" by Orianna
A unique child is abandoned on the coldest night of the year.
Pre-classic - Rated PG

I had two new stories to add here. Unfortunately, when I went to upload them, I discovered they are no longer on my hardrive. It is my sincerest hope they are simply hiding somewhere, shuffled about during one of the many moves I've made since writing them. Rest assured, I will post them as soon as they are located. Meanwhile, this is what should have been here....

"Darkness" by Orianna
Vincent suffers terrible nightmares during his loss of balance.
3rd season (SND) - Rated PG

"Resolution" by Orianna
Another short piece to put things right... Vincent reaches Catherine in time.
3rd season (SND) - Rated PG
