Challenge #04244-K226: Downtrodden Uplifted

It was a havenworld. The inhabitants? Almost all Uplifts, former slaves that had been freed, and their therapists helping them recover. The protectors? Three, 2 - person teams of Pax Humanis members that worked on 8 hour rotations. When dereggers come to try to "claim a prize"... they find that it's not the claws of an Uplift they must worry about, but far deadlier fangs. -- Anon Guest

Gengineering should never be used to make toys. The more you think about that statement, the more ways a rational mind should agree with it.

That said, there's always someone who thinks they're special enough to ignore that kind of thing. That's why Uplifts exist.

Teratogenetically altered pets, made to be smart enough to understand consequences. Strong enough to serve their tailored purpose. Given enough bodily modifications to serve... whatever their owner decided upon. More often than not, that 'service' is in the bedroom. Uplifts, their owners know, are made to be used. Horrifyingly, a lot of the Uplifts know that too.

Challenge #04243-K225: Why? Why Not!

The cloak they wear is made of carefully tanned thick buffalo hide. Upon it, overlapping, are dragon scales. Oddly enough, each scale has a name etched into it. They buy the scales from the dragons, and dragon kin, fairly, one scale per individual, have it signed using a special metal quill, and use these for the cloak.

Why? Because they love all dragons and dragon-kind. And their life's mission is to make a special shrine where the names of them may forever

Challenge #04242-K224: Hero of Justice

A sheathed, dusty, blade that was hidden in a thief's lair is stolen by a young hellkin seeking a way to defend themselves.

The blade finds they are able to speak to their new wielder, and helps them learn how to be a true hero. Not a false one wrapped in gold, but a quiet one wrapped in hope.

Challenge #04241-K223: A Study of the Alien

One of us does not speak, together, we speak as one. They do not recognize us as intelligent, until we work together. We are tiny, but we are strong. Worry not large one, we will save you. Worry not other large ones, the smaller ones were already healed. -- Anon Guest

We did not understand the invaders, when they came. They did not understand us, either. They thought we were animals and, to be honest, we thought the same of them. They

Challenge #04240-K222: Midwinterfeast Blessings

The child given a small toy, it was such a simple gift. A little dragon-shaped doll. Toys, when deeply loved, can have their own life. This toy fought with a wizard, loved a child, and protected the travelers to help the child, and new parent, find their way past darkness, toward home.

Challenge #04239-K221: The Secret of Sillies

Researchers from around the Alliance had been trying to get a bead on WHAT the cause for the human's sudden impromptu-parties called Silly Seasons. What they found astounded them.

The Alliance is very safety conscious, as well as conscious of absolutely anything that could cause offense. Leading to almost everything, save for human areas, to be mostly bland, soft, inoffensive grey. Simply put, the frequent outbreaks in some areas were humans being completely, and utterly, out of their heads with boredom. --

Challenge #04238-K220: A Place to Heal

I was a prisoner, enslaved for as long as I could remember. I thought the one who had me caged was the wizard Wraithvine. I was told I was suffering so others would not. Then I met the real Wraithvine, learned the truth, and was freed.

My torment is over, the pain of the body long healed. The painful memories will never fade, but I'm so grateful to hir. Don't worry, ze brought you here so I could help you, as I

Challenge #04237-K219: Word From on High

It was heard though out the world, although it echoed into every corner only Priests, Gurus, Rabbis, and other religious leaders heard that claim:

Humanity evolution is not yours to command. -- Anon Guest

The first question was the most controversial - Was that the voice of God? Or, to be more accurate - Was that the voice of my God? The arguments broke out almost immediately.

Wars may or may not be in the offing.

They almost forgot to debate the

Challenge #04236-K218: Blood Paid for Blood

It was a major firefight. Mr. Sunshine, Jay, and an individual that teamed with them were running hard, firing back. A group of teens rushed in to distract the pursuers. The three escaped, the teens lost their lives. Now it's time for revenge. And rescue the families. -- Anon Guest

[AN: If a member of Pax Humanis gets into a firefight, they're doing it wrong]

Challenge #04235-K217: Clever Uses

Even the best of the best can sometimes lose. This magic fight was simple. No major spells, just minor pranks. Wraithvine hadn't counted on this silly jokester to have two wands, but was amused when ze slipped onto their keester. Well, ze doesn't always win, and this was fun! -- Anon Guest

No matter how good you are, no matter how wide your reputation, there's always someone who believes they're better. There's always someone willing to prove it. Whether or not they

Challenge #04234-K216: Family Talk

I was found by my rennie. I was found again by the family of my birth. My rennie was scared. I was scared. The horse was terrified. But now we have a happy home. All of us together.

Challenge #04233-K215: They Call it Faerie Farm

By their farm, a well-hidden place where the veil between Nanogh and their world had always been thin. The family, by tradition, not knowing who it was that aided them, at harvest season, always left out three jars of honey, and a large basket of freshly picked fruit. None have ever been stung by the hives, and when ill, despite being poor, none has ever been without medicine. -- The New Guy

The woods were sacred. Horrible things happened to anyone wandering

Challenge #04232-K214: Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

The village had begun to rot from the inside, with the Watch being cruel the downtrodden, especially those who were not human. Certain ears DID hear. Shadows move, and some were asked to move into the village to correct the problems.

Challenge #04231-K213: Feathers of Justice

Pax Humanis had VERY few in among them that were not human. Fewer still that could be mistaken for a Havenworlder.

Which made this killer's ability to "hide in plain sight" save for the leg bands when not on a job, even easier. The targets always seem to expect a human hunter.
