The Lostmoon Chronicles
Chapter 1
By Aer Snow96
* Thanks for reading this little project of mine. Thing is, I haven't been able to put out a story in many months now, stories I made all just ended up being too big for me to handle revising and editing them. They just ended up collecting dust in my Desktop folders.
So I started this here little project in which I try to write a story a day. There would be character development and sex scenes. But if you are looking for a quick fix, this opening chapter doesn't have that yet.
This chapter is just to set up our main characters and such, so there won't be anything spicy just yet.
**All characters participating in any sexual activity are above 18 years old.

Donnie flicked through the pages, easing into the artificial productivity of the lab. While some people spend their time relaxing to the sound of pop music, he enjoyed the constant but near whispers of the inner workings of the lab, the silent drone of machinery and quiet humdrum bubbling of the chemical sets. Which made him an ideal research assistant. Demure, quiet and manageable. Or so he overheard Doctor Lindermann the other day.
"That and the young man doesn't have any distractions like women or any other nonsense that lies rampant with his generation."
He couldn't' help but feel stung by that remark. Doctor Lindermann meant well, Donnie told himself.
"Uuuggh....this is boring," uttered Rhylee, his supposed fellow research assistant.
He chewed on the insides of his cheek, watching her from the corner of his eye. Ever since arriving for her shift, she immediately sat down and plopped open her phone.
She hasn't moved. And she wasn't even wearing proper dress code! Wearing nothing but a tanktop that left little to the imagination and a tattered jean that even Donnie knew suited her well, even he wasn't that out of the loop to know that much of the young men, and even older men, considered her to be one of the most attractive young ladies in campus.
Fearing a stern scolding From Doctor Lindermann, the best he could do was remind her, that in the likely event that the temperamental doctor would find someone to blame, he could say that he did his duty.
"U-uhm....R-Rhylee...h-have you checked the computer for those s-samples Dr. Lindermann asked you to?" Donnie stuttered.
He could feel her staring daggers at him. He could not deny she was pretty and being the receiving end of an attractive person's scorn was something different than an ordinary sort. Her gaze darkened but did as was told although pushing herself up, nearly toppling her chair causing it to skid and echoing throughout the lab.
Thankfully it was just the two of them for now.
What was taking Doctor Lindermann so long?
Donnie wondered.
Finally having somewhat of a solid reason to go somewhere else and leave the sulking Rhylee, he moved away. He had heard that there would be a shipment of some great artifact for the University and it was the Research Department's task of cataloguing and studying the artifact.
And he could see it! Well the commotion that it caused anyway. People mulled about as he went to the large adjacent building which housed the Departments' receiving area for large machinery. Now it housed the newly arrived artifact.
He swallowed as he took in the immense size of the thing.
It easily reached two stories tall!
It was a savage looking mirror, as wide as the great doors to the library. Seemingly constructed of bone, that was evident or made to look like bones, with the same shade with that of obsidian. The peculiar thing was, this "mirror" was only called that because it had the very same glossy appearance of that of a regular mirror. And yet it had no reflective property. All it showed was a darkness unlike anything, darker still than the material that held it.
