ASC has also posted the third installment in The Heart of Gaia, a piece of short fiction by White Wolf author Phil Brucato. Here is a brief excerpt from the latest section:

Sharp ears catch the laughter of the Banes behind him, and keen senses recoil from the corruption they bear. His instincts draw the spirit-hound back to the cave, but unless he can mislead the Banes....
