 It was a long, hard night in the small tent they had set up for him. Dragonborn spent the night bundled up in a thick blanket. What was worse, he couldn’t sleep.

When the first sunlight hit the tent, he realized the night was over and he hadn’t rested. This wouldn’t be the first time he was up all night, but most of the time it...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's Little Helper Part 7

 The icy winds turned bitter, cutting around the remnants of the downtown. Dragonborn clutched his arms around himself, each stiff breeze like a splash of frigid water. This parking lot was dark, only a few flashlights bobbed about as the people prepared a pile of wood that was much taller than he expected.“Where’s the fire?” He muttered.“I’m cold.” The little girl said, hugging herself.Dragonborn stopped a man walking by. “When will the fire be lit?”“As soon as we find a way to light it....

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's Little Helper Part 6

 The high-end apartment building sat vacant; its windows were shattered and parts of the building broken by flying debris in the storm. They were a sad sight. Next to them was an open parking lot where the tenets would rest their cars for the night. Only a couple of cars sat in their spots at the moment, but the rest of the lot was no longer empty.A grand display of several Christmas Trees surrounded the center of the lot. Lines of twinkling lights bobbing in the light breeze hung between...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's Little Helper Part 5

 Dragonborn sliced the tape on boxes with the claws on his fingers and stacked cans of food on tables and shelves. Santa took the newly emptied boxes and filled them with a prescribed arrangement of the various foods.“So, is this supposed to show you how good I am at sorting food?” Dragonborn broke the long silence.Santa folded down the top of a box and set it with others ready to go out. “No, this is just doing something good.”Dragonborn picked up another box of canned veggies and plopped...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's Little Helper Part 4

 As they descended, Dragonborn looked down to see all the people out and about. No one paid any attention to the ornate sleigh, reindeer, or Santa Claus landing near them.“Am I the only one who didn’t realize you were real?”Santa chortled in a deep laugh, “The people cannot see us because I don’t let them. While you are in this sleigh, you are invisible.”“Interesting.” Dragonborn mused, “Why are we landing here? This is a tiny town in the middle of the mountains?”“They celebrate Christmas...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's Little Helper Part 3

 Dragonborn lay on his back, on the couch, flipping through a magazine that was technically against the rules to have on this station.Once again, the music and videos came to an abrupt stop, and the lights turned on to their brightest.With a heavy groan, and without looking, he said, “What is it now, Nova?”A gentle, deep voice said, “That is Director Nova to you, young man.”Nova added, “And I’m not alone.”Dragonborn tilted his head back to look at his unwanted guests. He saw the familiar sight...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's LIttle Helper Part 2

The theater was running non-stop Christmas classics; the laboratory had the smell of freshly baked gingerbread wafting through the halls, and the stations musicians had organized an impromptu band to play for the upcoming parties. Even stone-cold Nova felt the warmth and liked it.However, he turned a corner and walked into one of the student lounges and found...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Santa's LIttle Helper Part 1

Reading over a standard report from the educational assessment department, Nova rode the lift down from Operations to the main levels. When the doors parted, he stepped out to the hustle and bustle of the station’s daily grind. Heroes came and went working with BADGE assignments. Instructors and students milled about, discussing classes or looking for lunch.What differed from the average day at the BADGE station were the prominent Christmas decorations strung around the large Mess Hall and arboretum....
