The chimerical creature stood well over seven feet tall with a broad muscular upper torso like something out of the Superhero hologram vids Tristan had watched as a boy back on Mars. Its face had a feline quality to it with eyes that were completely black, and gave the impression that they looked through rather than at he and his soulmate, Saralene. The Lunanoid's hands and feet, paws maybe, Tristan wondered, ended in thick, sharp, adamantine talons that looked capable of piercing rock. It had a definite reptilian aspect, extended bat-like wings, as wide as it was tall, and a pointed tail that appeared to be prehensile, judging by the way that it moved.

I had no idea there were that many here on the moon." "Twice as many are down on Mars, and about half as many are on Deimos. In addition, there is a TechnoMage in our world whose whereabouts are unknown. Ngarrang, the TechnoMage who, disguised as a Monk traded Stone for my salvage, is on our side, but has gone back to the Sacred realm. We know there is another here on Phobos in one of the colonies who is overseeing deployment of the Lunanoid cadre." "Will you please stop pacing, it's exhausting just watching you. What are we supposed to do with this information? Stone's memories indicate that Ngarrang chose you because of what he calls our Soul-paired relationship, but there's nothing to tell us what that is or why it's significant." Tristan stopped pacing abruptly and turned to face Stone, who stood and walked toward Saralene. She shrunk into the chair, the Lunanoid's size was a bit intimidating. He reached his talon out to her and
Cendi's sharp eyes spotted the wayfarers despite their attempts to camouflage themselves, unfortunately they also spotted her and one of their number, a giant by the looks of it, stepped out into the open and pointed at her. A creature the likes of which Cendi had never seen before, bounded out of the trees and looked up at her, it was a mottled reddish color, with a round squat body, the head of the beast was wide and seemed to be mostly made up of an oversized mouth filled with triangle shaped teeth with serrated edges. Long, razor sharp claws adorned its front paws and most alarming of all was the four furry wings on its back, it leap into the air and flapped them furiously as it headed toward her.

The author Julia Butterfly Hill book is a personal reference of the adversity she overcame when faced with saving a part of nature, a part of what defines her, a piece of something she would never let go of. In this novel the author gives biographical evidence of not only her love of saving the redwood trees. The story begins in December of 1996, in the town of Stafford, California. There was a mudslide which was catastrophic and buried seven homes. The removal of the redwood trees was what she states to be a cause and effect of this disaster because they absorb the moisture that causes erosion. She was up against the Maxxam
It donned a large cloak of silken strands of the deepest silver. Its tail was long and eagerly wagged in rhythm with the arched floppy ears. It had eyes of golden thunder that became two suns in the cloudy sky of its face, but as soon as I reached to pet the creature, it galloped away, leaving me in the wake of the swirling dust and sand. I sighed, but my spirits were lifted by the sight of a person walking toward me. A god perhaps, for I saw no settlement in the vicinity.

It can weight up to 1,000 pounds and it reach higher than eight feet in length (Gaffron, 16). Its footprints tell a lot about Bigfoot as well, from them scientists deduce his extremely wide strides of six to eight feet, the four inch to 24 inch foot size, and the unusual disproportionate width of the ball of its feet (Fahrenbach). With all its obvious differences Bigfoot also shares common traits with primates, for example the hair some bone structure, and a minimum mental capacity.
Cancer is a leading cause of death and devastating experiences for patients’ family members and close friends. The disease undermines the emotional wellbeing of the survivors during and after treatment. It often affects the physical appearance and exposes the family members to financial constraints thereby leading to depression, reduced productivity at workplaces and many other social problems. However, the controversies over the causes of cancer continue to impact the awareness campaigns and the general population attitude towards treatment options.
