Massively Multiplayer - Part 2
Well folks, last night’s update of Massively Multiplayer: the Novel was delayed, due to the need to engage in assorted shenanigans related to my dear Natalie’s b-day. But now we’re back on track: Rathnar’s facing down a deadly quartet of giant bird-things, and things look bad for our hero. Will Rathnar survive? Will he manage to battle his way out of this one? Or will he become nothing more than chicken feed? Click the ‘more’ link below to read the next exciting update!

The birds attacked. Rathnar tried to dodge and counterattack, but they were just too fast. Serrated beaks clanged against his heavy plate armor, sending him staggering, keeping him off-balance and unable to properly counterattack. The blows came from all directions, and more than a few got past his armor, drawing blood and yelps of pain from the warrior. He growled under his breath in frustration. This was it. He was going to die at the hands.. ahh, beaks, of these birds.
Another blow from the flapping, sqwaking beasts hit him on the side of his helmet, setting his head ringing and sending him spinning sideways into the massive trunk of a nearby tree. As his vision cleared, he could see the birds approaching again, getting ready to finish him off, moving so fast that his eyes could barely keep up. For a moment, he just watched the vicious avians flapping towards him, saw their deadly beaks darting towards him with unearthly speed. Such speed, such amazing reflexes… and then Rathnar knew exactly what to do.
