Diamantus kept her powerful frame contained, not flailing around in the darkness. There was a soft "whoosh" and the air moved around her. A moment later there were two solid thumps and a loud grunt of pain came from the velen's tightly clamped mouth as two of the rogue's daggers struck her. One...

In the cellar of her manor house, TorBru Corporation’s ex-science advisor Yulia slid a cowled cloak over her other clothing. She tugged the cowl around her face and turned to the blank wall. Running her hand across a spot on it, there was a click and a panel opened in it to reveal a doorway. The...

Trained reflexes caused Aeria to drive the butt of her halberd hard into the ground as the wind struck her, all of her muscles exploding into action at the same time, shoving her body backwards forcefully, away from the wind and the fissures. She landed hard, thighs and calves absorbing the...

The door of Notius’ engineering firm blew in off its hinges as the group of five large men broke it down. Each of them wielded a torch to light their way. They waded into the cavernous space, sledgehammers smashing and blades cutting. One of them, a gigantic velen, heaved the heavy wooden...

As Cassius fell and the darkness spread like an inky cloak, the sound of steel coming free could be heard in the chamber. Diamantus, arms corded with muscle, held her thick bladed sword now and even as the light dropped, her hard gaze was locked on the rogue. In the space that had opened where...

Aeria's eyes blazed and she gritted her teeth as she set her halberd solidly against the floor while the longsword arced down toward her. The impact of it meeting her halberd jarred all the way down her arms, but she held firm and deflected the slicing attack. Immediately she advanced...

Diamantus looked out at the scene in front of her and made a lightning decision. She had three major targets and not much time to do anything about them. The outlines of the rogue-like figure were blurring quickly, but the velen assumed that she wouldn't move instantly once she was invisible...

Word Count: 1343 It was a battered, exhausted and dissheveled Professor Craxtus that embarked from the airship that had just docked at Elata Spiritus. He’d been in the midst of a violent conflict and seen first hand the sort of people with whom TorBru worked. It had been a lucky thing that...

Aeria huffed a little as Keydis pushed past her, but she didn't make any comment. She was starting to understand a little about the woman's motivations and actions. The light made it hard to see the figures in front of them, so the spurii shaded her eyes to try and get a better view of them...

Quaestor Laermont Vita The Spinning Cog was Terminus’ only “bar” that catered specifically to the demvir race. It was a place for them to gather that was free of the prejudices of the other races and a place where they could talk in peace. They did serve alcohol because, while the demvir didn’t...

Quaestor Laermont Mia Quaestor Laermont was glad to be back in Terminus. In fact, he was glad to be alive, given what he’d just gone through in the southern jungles. He’d also been surprised to have work waiting for him on his return. A message had been left for him by, of all people, the...

Every piece was carefully set into the mechanism, worked until it sat where it needed to sit as Aeria worked on it. There was a sense of danger despite nothing happening, as if this particular mechanism had an added aura of something sinister. Perhaps it was the strange light, but it made Aeria...

The pieces of the machine fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and Aeria inspected them carefully. She wanted to ensure that the assembly was as smooth as possible and that the ancient mechanism was properly activated. She flipped and turned the pieces on the floor, trying to visualize how they...

Carefully, Aeria made her way towards the machine protruding from the wall, ensuring that no part of her or her weapon touched the strange substance. There was something nauseating and disturbing about this starry slime. It was the odd way in which it combined what seemed like infinite space...
