    This Will End in Fire [invite-only]

    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...

    There Will Come A Dawn

    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...

    [Inaius] The Shadows Fall

    ALL IS STILL AMONG THE RUINS First Snow - Clint Mansell The cold hit him like a slap to the face. Stepping through the bridge he came out into waist high snow.

    [Inaius] The Shadows Fall

    ASHES Xibalba - Clint Mansell The ground felt weird under foot. Thirteen years aboard his capsule had made him forget how to walk on an uneven surface. He made his way over cracked stones, careful to keep his balance. A fall could lead to his environment suit getting punctured. The air was...

    [Inaius] The Shadows Fall

    UNTIL MY WORK IS DONE Death Is a Disease - Clint Mansell “We must stand and fight!” The words were punctuated by a metal fist pounding the podium. “Three dozen worlds, lost, without resistance.” The supreme omnipote barely raised his eyes, frustrated with the unending inability to stop this...

    THE PAIN OF HOPE Stay With Me - Clint Mansell The Archons did not believe in a god, but Archaeus was holy. It was the world from which they came. The mother world. A garden of lush green forests, of dark jungles, of towering mountains and wide river valleys. They had spread to the stars and...

    ISOLATION AND DESPAIR Tree of Life - Clint Mansell Ten years passed in his purgatory. And no company save for his thoughts and the capsule's computer interface, truly nothing more than a simple response program. Just capable of call and response, not true conversation. He’d come to loathe...

    [Inaius] The Shadows Fall

    THE WATCHER BEYOND Holy Dread! - Clint Mansell There was sensation. A thousand different pinpricks. A flash, an irritation, and then it was gone. Like a gnat, a quick sting, soon forgotten about. This went on with barely a consideration. Whatever these things were required no consideration, no...

    PURGATORY The Last Man - Clint Mansell The machine finished its work. He then applied the drops to his eyes. It would help with the healing process, but it would also keep his eyes moisturized. He climbed carefully out of the chair. Everything was still a blur, but now there was definition to...

    [Inaius] Into the Maelstrom [closed]

    Draevin arrived on Pendragost after being detoured through the Guardian’s secret starbridge. He had heard of the attack and knew that his arrival on the capital world was of the highest import. The catacombs which housed the many secret bridges were filled with dozens of guardians. They were...

    “We could have had this meeting in your office,” Raum Kolta said, apologizing for the clutter. His office was small for a man of his status. Truthfully he much preferred it over some grandiose one, though with his workload the place often became filled with files and paperwork awaiting his...

    A Cafe by the River [closed]

    “Sometimes I worry about my son,” Sherwin admitted. He slapped at a mosquito on his arm, missing. “I didn’t exactly leave him a peaceful realm. Though I did try.” He felt himself judging all his actions, all his choices. He could feel himself falling into the despair that comes with self-doubt...

    “He poisoned himself?” The question was one of incredulous disbelief. And then repeated. “He poisoned himself?” This time angry. “We’re trying to figure out who gave it to him, and when.” “Was he not fucking searched?” “He was searched before transfer and again at the courthouse.” Alwur...

    A Wolf at the Gates

    Richard had retreated through the town, gathering villagers with him as he went. He hadn’t seen Braeggo, but knew the Esplandian could take care of himself. Eventually he led the group to the town hall. It was the most secure building, made of stone, with iron bars protecting the windows and...

    Imperium Galactica: Inquisition

    Coarin Surface, House Drof-Antier The High Inquisitor entered the great hall. He was a thin and wiry man, his dark eyes darting from each corner of the hall, from each piece of art to each tapestry. From statues to columns, as if he could pierce out any hidden secrets at a glance. Hiram and...

    There was no pomp as the old Prince was led into the court room. Murmurs and hushed conversations. No announcements of his titles and achievements. He was led by armed guards to stand before the judges, accompanied only by his lawyers. “State your name for the court,” spoke the lead judge. “I...

    The ship dropped out of warp then entered the starlanes on its approach to the planet. Thousands of ships passed to and from the hundreds of Star ports in orbit. But the ship didn’t make towards any of those, instead passing into a less crowded lane, one making for the green and blue planet...

    The silent archway stood before them. Izine and the Guardian came to a stop in front of it. The doorway to the Tomb. She readied her pistol, watching the shadows around them. The Guardian turned on a bioblade and it’s green flickering blade pushed the shadows back ever so slightly. The Sekari...

    Valoras Kor, The Grand Cathedral of the Piatha Blood cries for blood. The words of the god Marmas still rang true centuries after their transcendence at the hands of Tyran.

    [Inaius] Into the Maelstrom [closed]

    Izine didn’t have time to answer Eyleene’s accusatory question, as a fire fight broke out between their small party and advancing Rhodoni. If they had already moved into the city that meant they’d secured most of the Starbridges. The Sekari knights had used a fancy weapon that was tossed, and...

    There Will Come A Dawn

    January 21, 2015 4:17pm Szepsfel, Arrandal They stopped near the ruins of a church. Its roof, and the arches that had once held it up, had collapsed long ago. Only stone walls and crumbling belfry sticking out of the deep snow remained. Valkiric called for a halt to rest the horses and the...

    They gathered in the great plaza beneath the bows of the Drasul. A chill filled the morning. Izine could feel a growing static charge in the atmosphere, but the Sekari seemed not to notice. Perhaps they were not as attuned to the changing energies of the maelstrom. The strabridges stood off in...

    [Inaius] Into the Maelstrom [closed]

    Pendragost Izine had drunk too much ale, and could feel the alcohol going to her head, turning her giddy. So she subtly pushed her cup away and took a few deep breaths, hoping to regain her control. Now was not the time to let her guard down and let slip something better kept secret for now...
