Jane, Defender of Decura Chapter 1
The Adventure Begins
"Your lunch break was over thirty seconds ago." The wicked voice snickered through the staff room with an equal level of disdain and glee, forcing the sole person currently enjoying their break to repress a groan. "Please manage your time better Jane or I'll have to report you to Selena."
Jane looked up from the magazine she was reading, spotting the assistant manager standing in the doorway of the break room. "I still have two minutes left" she said, pointing towards the clock. It had been a rather stressful shift at Foodland today thanks to the flood of customers, and yesterday’s shift leaving extra work for her

The Reyn Archer
Jane’s eyes flew open and she quickly sat up in a panicked sweat. Her heart was beating like a jackhammer, and her hands trembled with dread. She shuddered when the memory of the intense agony returned, but relaxed when the pain failed to reemerge. "What the hell was that all about?" she thought while struggling to control the pace of her breathing, her chest heaving with each desperate breath. "That had to have been the most intense dream I've ever had..."
Everything around her was dark and blurring, so Jane used one hand to give her eyes a good rub, while using the other to search for her television's remote. However

A Giant Helping Hand
Without exception, the men of Leefside village were having the worst day of their lives. They'd been out in the fields, enduring a hard day of tending to their crops, only to spot black smoke billowing from their village. Worried, the men hurried home, only to find their families, confused and terrified while they all sat together in the center of the humble town. Surrounding their terrified families were a large group of thugs, clad in leather armor and wielding blades, who quickly demanded the farmers surrender to them. The small handful who did not immediately capitulate to the commands were beaten, harshly. Or worse,

An Evening in Decura
“Well… Can’t say I saw my day ending like this.” Jane had sat next to Leefside Village all day, left without much to do besides think on what her next course of action should be. Exploring the village was an impossibility at her current utterly enormous size, but she could at least study it from the perspective of a bird, though she had to make sure not to lean over too far. Losing her balance at this size might have cataclysmic results for the poor reyn living here, and they’d endured enough for one day. Even now, hours after being saved from that band of human bandits, the villagers of Lee

Araneus Attacks
Despite the lack of a comfy mattress or the gentle embrace of a fluffy pillow, Jane was able to doze off in no time thanks to the relatively small camp fire Nate had set up next to her head. Unfortunately, Nate and the rest of the village had a far harder time getting any sleep, entirely due to the Jane's thunderous snoring.
Slamming his window’s shudders with more force than was necessary, Nate buried his face in the grass. "She's sleeping in the cave tomorrow night…" he grumbled to himself, plugging his ears with his fingers. The village-shaking noise continued for several hours, only stopping when Jane thankfu

Approaching Tension
Even while riding a Nicolop bird, it took at least a full day to travel from Leefside to Scavania. However, today the reyn of Leefside had an extra large helper to carry them there in less than twenty minutes. Many of the reyn took the safe option of sitting in Jane's palms. Which, when put together, created a platform large enough for the hundred or so villagers to sit in, albeit uncomfortably close. Carefully Jane stepped across and around their vast fields of crops that filled the plains surrounding Leefside. The last thing she wanted to do was make the reyn farmers panic by leaving enormous shoe-shaped craters in the

The Dark Mistress Cometh
Felix had never run from anything this quickly in his entire life. Not only had he caught up with the Bloodblades who had initially fled the moment that giant monster crushed Araneus under her boot, but he'd forced his way to the front of the pack. Sure, he had to cut down a few of his men to get past, but that pitiful loss was nothing when compared to his own survival. "For all that is holy and divine in this world, open the damn gates!" he shrieked when he spotted the large gates of his encampment, much to the confusion and alarm of those stationed in front of it.
The handful of bandits that had remained at the ca

The Pennynook Merchant Guild
Taking one careful tiptoe after another, Jane made her way around Scavania, keeping a single enormous stride away from the river that encircled the town until she was standing near its northern gate. She watched as Chester, Judy and several hundred other reyn armed with bows and spears quickly rushed through Scavania's streets, hurrying over a stone breach to reach the grassy plains that stretched from the huge town to the Borderwoods.
Jane sat down, lowering herself as slowly as she could so as not to cause any tremors, or endanger her sole passenger, leaving the reyn to form up into several ranks beside her. E
