The Battle of Fort Bridger October 13, 2521 “Telegraph lines are down.” Major Pendelcott didn’t seem to be bothered by the report. He’d already received his orders from President Tan to hold the fort against these insurrectionists. The orders would not likely be rescinded. So he’d keep to his...

Izine had found herself with a few hours of free time. The preparations for the visiting matriarch were being finalized and the council hadn’t sent for her yet. She travelled into the city and found her way to the temple of the Hwerdz. It was a massive structure made of white marble that...

Part Two For the Commonwealth Went rushed through the catacombs which were bustling with troops staging for the counter offensives to Abzydae and Atasha. She nearly bumped into a militia officer, but dodged at the last second with a half-hearted “sorry!” “Watch it,” the officer hollered after...

“It’s a problem of energy,” the old Sundashi said. He gave Shaifur an exasperated sigh. “Helgadae’s generators weren’t built to power the ship factory.” “Then how did the Archons do it?” asked another Frondauri. She was a stocky gray skinned Atharbi. “Probably magic,” muttered the old...

A loud knocking on the door woke them up. Draevin rose out of bed, whipping the sleep from his eyes. He manipulated a glow tube and it bathed the room in a warm yellow glow as he put on trousers and a jacket. “What’s up?” Izine asked still groggy with sleep. “I’m going to check.” A Frondauri...

They took a Lightcraft from Koloz city out across the grass plains to see the towering basalt columns. The old volcanic formations were a reddish gray color and they towered like a wall against the horizon. Waterfalls dotted the cliff face, pouring into dark blue pools. The lightcraft dropped...

Omordan City, Planet Athelharad Archduchy of Coarin “If they are gods, how then could they be killed? The Holy Scriptus tells us that their deaths were transformations. That the gods needed to be destroyed to move beyond the flesh into a higher state of being. But then why did they fight the...

“Thank you for your report, Watcher Shaifur,” the Supreme Watcher said. He turned off the recording device and leaned back in his chair. “I hope you don’t mind me prying, but you seem distracted.” Shaifur opened his mouth to say something but no words came. He sighed and tried relaxing, but the...

Dust drifted down from the ceiling following a dull distant thump. The returning force were greeted by Guardians and directed where to go. Draevin gave his report to the relief force commander. “So there’s still Faceless on the Tomb?” the older Sundasha woman asked. “I don’t believe so, but...

“It’s a very ambitious plan.” The Queen of Hastenfrakta sat back in her wicker armchair and took another sip of chilled wine. She’d chosen to have their conversation on the veranda overlooking the sea. It was a warm day, humid, but a cool breeze off the sea brought some relief. Irwin, normally...

Eastern slopes of Mt Helena Helena, Montana October 15th, 2521 4:27 PM The first air strike hit the city, blasting the old capital building into rubble. Fire and smoke rose up into the sky. Tiama held little Eli close. He whimpered but his sounds were drowned out by jets roaring through the...

Capitol Island, Atomic City, Yakima September 11th, 2521 GUILTY! The words were like a gunshot. The echoes of the verdict reverberated across the Grand Cascadian Republic. From the gun of a Congress, the bullet of a ruling had been fired, right at the heart of the Unionist states. A warrant...

Ruins of I-90 Coulson Park, Billings, Montana October 13th, 2521 6:09 AM The PGSU convoy rolled west, crossing the bridge. Seven trucks, and a dozen smaller transports, with an armored personnel carrier at the front. The Yellowstone River was little more than a wide stream this time of year...

The Skyrre hit the ground with a rough thump. Izine was already leaping from the beast even before it landed, her bioblade drawn and activated. Chaos had erupted all around. The Shyanar were trying to protect the Frondauri, but faceless (newly formed from the good condition of their armor) were...

Capital Building Helena, Montana September 30th, 2521 3:17 PM The roar of many engines filled the compound. Two dozen motorcycles passed through the gates, coming to a stop in front of the gray building. The raiding party had returned. Tiama had been napping while nursing little Eli, but had...

A dark dread settled within his gut. The Skyrres flew over what had once been the Pellacon. It was as if the building had been turned to liquid, stirred up, and then reshaped. Buildings around it had also melted and been stirred into this new shape. A great towering archway. There was no doubt...

Part One Where the Shadows Are Draevin stood alone, his gaze moving across the landscape taking in the mounds of orange dust piled up against and in between towering gray structures slowly being eroded away by wind and time. A full company of Guardians moved about silently, restlessly, as they...

FAITH AND HOPE Together We Will Live Forever - Clint Mansell Karpali floated in nothingness. He felt nothing. He could see nothing. Is this death? The thought didn’t startle him as much as he thought it would. After all his losses, all his struggles, to just float forever. He could accept that...

BEFORE WE PASS INTO OBLIVION Death is the Road to Awe - Clint Mansell He was dumped unceremoniously onto the floor. His face smacked hard against the cracked tiles. He didn’t move, wishing only for a respite. “That you and I should meet after the end of everything,” a mocking voice spoke. Even...

WHERE THIS ROAD LEADS Finish It - Clint Mansell Helgadae was cold and quiet. It didn’t take Karpali much to know, like the rest of the Cooperative, this world was also a tomb. The machinery was still powered on, but it seemed to be in idle mode. He connected to the mainframe and read the...

She reached out and very gently, very difficulty, grasped the cub. As her hand clasped around it, gripped it, and didn’t crush it, she let out a happy giggle. She took a drink, enjoying the plain taste of cool water and set the cup back down. It made an all too loud clunk as she put it down...

June 21, 2009 Bravondy Outskirts, Arrandal He could still smell the smoke and hear the gunfire. Every step he took drove him further away from the chaos of the city. From time to time he saw groups of people, mostly civilians, some in uniform. All fleeing. Bravondy had fallen. The rebels, as...
