Questions From The Media (Page 173)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: October 22nd, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Press Room, Madison Square Garden, New York)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:06 PM)~~~

The 30 seconds the guys in the studio needed are up, and the press secretary gives the green light for the reporters to start asking question. All the hands in the room shoot up. I release a sigh, and a feeling of mocking dread overcomes me.

I call on the reporter from ESPN, and she looks down at her notepad. Obviously,...

[Classified Report: The Mortis Gods] (Page: 165)

~~~(POV: Satele Shan)~~~

~~~(Location: The Jedi Temple, Coruscant)~~~

I take a breath as I read the title of the report. It's partially corrupted, and only a few entries remain intact. But that's enough for me to get some basic information. I'll admit, I'm nervous. This could hold answers to the questions I have about Nate.

Marching For Meereen (Page 52)

~~~(POV: Raenon Targaryen)~~~

~~~(Current Age: 16 Years)~~~

~~~(Location: Manse, Yunkai, Essos)~~~

~~~(Date: 300 AC)~~~

Three months have passed extraordinarily quick since The Battle Of Blackwater. Stannis's defeat marks a point where The Lannisters are strong again. While their finances are still in ruin, it's clear their armies and minds are capable of holding off threats.

Dany and I are watching over Yunkai from our Manse. Rhaenys is flying around the city, s...

Heading To The Post-Game Interview (Page 172)

~~~(Location: Locker Room, Madison Square Garden, New York)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:03 PM)~~~

"That's what I'm talking about, gentlemen!! You hung in there and kept fighting until the end! We proved that even when Ulysses is on the bench, we can hang onto the game!"

Tom is giving a post-game speech as we're standing around the locker room. Pretty soon, post-game interviews are going to start. I'm not a fan of t...

Damaged Report (Page 164)

~~~(POV: Nathen Opal)~~~

~~~(Location: The Jedi Temple, Coruscant)~~~

Nella is sleeping like the dead on my back as I carry her. We've been walking through the library for a good 20 minutes now; Satele said the place we're going is a long walk from the entrance we used to get in. There is one thing bothering me.

Eassa poking and prodding me. She's gently pressing on my mind with her own. She wants an explanation of what Satele said earlier. I don't blame her for wanting one....

The Battle Of Blackwater (Page 51)

~~~(Date: 300 AC)~~~

Darkness rests upon the water, and in the distance, I can see the burning candles of Kings Landing. We're making our way into Blackwater Bay. My eyes catch the movement of soldiers and weapons on the walls that keep me from my prize.

Ser Davos stands next to me as more ships sail ahead of us. I want to ...

Knicks vs. Bulls: Final Minutes II (Page 171)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: October 22nd, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Madison Square Garden, New York)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:58 PM)~~~

The timeout ends, and I make my way back onto the court with my teammates. The score being 119 to 117 is not something Tom liked, but he made sure we understood we're entering the final stretch of the game.

The Bulls bring the ball down the court, and there is less than 1:10 left on the game clock. Zach is handling the ball, and in...

To An Old Library (Page 163)

~~~(POV: Nella Opal)~~~

"Are you doing any better?"

The question does nothing to alleviate the lingering sickness. Nothing I can really do about it, and that's what makes me upset. Nate is carrying me on his back as we walk through the exposed hallways of the old Jedi Temple.

My lack of a response is enough for him to stop asking questions. I asked him to make the feeling go away, but he told me that it was something he won'...

Prelude To Battle (Page 50)

~~~(Time: 300 AC)~~~

The storms along the coast have slowed Stannis's fleet by a few days. We're lucky we have this time to prepare. My plans to use Wildfire and lock Stannis's fleet into the bay are almost complete, with no more than a day left until they're ready.

Knicks vs. Bulls: Final Minutes I (Page 170)

~~~(Time: 5:55 PM)~~~

We're in the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the game is close. The score is 115 to 114 in favor of the Bulls. Tom took me out for the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter after we gained the lead. Since then, the game has been back and forth.

Taking that 5-minute break on the bench for me was unnecessary in my eyes. I c...

Secondary Power Source And Shown A Hint Of The Past (Page 162)

~~~(Location: The Jedi Temple, Coruscant)~~~

The monster leaps at me, and I easily get out of the way. At this rate, I'll be battling this thing forever. I don't want to spend my days doing such a waste of time. My attention turns to other ideas. Obviously, there is no conventional way to kill this guy.

My senses spread out, and I start to search for something acting as the power source for the creature. It could be insignificant or easily seen. It a...

I've decided not to stop posting for Stellarum Decidit

I've given it a lot of thought, and it's something that I really want to write. I understand that if people don't want to read it. But I need something that is new and fresh for me. 

If people want to cancel their subscriptions, I totally understand. Due to this decision, The Aeternus Universe won't be returning yet.

This doesn't mean The Aeternus Universe is dropped. Thanks for listening and staying tuned for so long. Hopefully, not many of you go because of this.

Reality Has No Bounds... Or Is It Imagination... (Page 161)

The implication of my words fall on Eassa, and she slowly looks to the ground. Whatever that monster is, it's made from the bodies we never recovered. The Force screamed at me when I first sensed it. The power behind that monster.

Nate being there made things easier for all of us. His presence alone shielded us from whatever attack it used. I wouldn't want to know what kind of damage it can inflict on some...

It's sent into the wall by the impact of the rocks. What's interesting is the damage it received is instantly healed. T...

Update on the leave of absence

At the beginning of the week Sunday, I decided that I needed a break to refresh my brain. Initially, I figured a couple days would be okay, but I've extended it to a week since then. 

Uploads will resume on January 8th 9:00 AM. Sorry, but for the last two months I've been uploading every day except Saturdays and holidays. I need this mental break.

The boulder that Satele has brought me here to help her move feels off. It's connected to The Force. The Dark Side. I'm betting it was left here by the Sith so no one could go any deeper. I'm also sensing trouble on the other side of the boulder.

Eassa walks up to the boulder and places her hand on it. Wincing slightly, she senses what's going on with the large rock. I don't know what this is, and I've nev...

The score is 68 to 52 in favor of the Bulls. Even after the opening 3-pointer I made for the second half. It'll take some time to get this deficit down. Probably most of the third quarter. I have a little over 11 minutes to bring us within winning range.
