Prologue IV
Visions of The Future
BOOM!
An explosion rocks nearby me, causing me wake up in a panic. All around me shots are being fired. I see two fleets fighting with each other, the Humans and the Endarians. Instinctively I know that somehow, I’ve ended up on the Endarian. They even made a nice uniform for me and everything, one that allows my wings to wrap around me freely.
“Kyle. Kyle!” A frantic voice that sounds so familiar screams through...

Lykan
What Remained After
Lykan, Kosha, and Brenna all emerged from the emergency hatch that led straight up through the burnt and charred remains of the High Wood Elven stronghold. Along the way, the group stopped, as Lykan checked for survivors, and spoke longingly about his past.
“Here is the great library, these books were grown and embedded with the words and thoughts of the creators.” Lykan said, pointing to the burnt room.
In this room the ...

Epilogue III
Admiral Lemitov had done the unthinkable. He had fired upon and killed one of his own kind. It was all to take out one of the biggest problems his kind faced, the Goldmans. Both Goldman brothers were equally frightening, but this one was so much more so. See the brothers were always meant to be a pair, overcoming their differences to unite the universe. Fortunately for Lemitov and his kind, that partnership never happened.
But the chance was always there, which was wh...

Chet This And Chet That
Somewhere in my infinite lives, I must have somehow annoyed the god or goddess of fate. Why do I think this? Simple, I keep finding myself in worse and worse situations. Situations that could easily be avoided, were it not for the fact that I am a karmic shit magnet. I mean it literally, a shit magnet, I attract shit to me. Or in my case Chets, which are basically the same thing.
It was Chet, the person that entered the office. And no, not ...

Interlude XIV
The Story of the Yaga
There have long been tales of ancient monsters. Creatures so fearsome that their legends cause even the most stalwart of listeners to shiver. Even those that never faltered would hesitate when saying the name of the Yaga. The original monster of legends. A monster so old and powerful that its true form has been lost to time. Some say she was once a great wizardess, someone who delved deep into the perverted arts of soul magic. The stories go tha...

My Day Off
The day off, a tried-and-true tradition of rewarding yourself for a hard day’s worth of work. I still had a personal pass due to my grieving of Mel. I also had a few things to take care of financially, that were easily fixed with a few eSigned documents, and the promise of my first-born son. I kid of course, I still know that I can’t have kids. Although those comments about Goldie having a child, at the end of my last timeline were odd. But that ...

This time I managed to avoid a few major pitfalls. This of course meant that there were some good things that happened. First and foremost, we were not quarantined. While we did end up sending Carrie, Lynn, Nicole, Rachel, and Noel to the hospital, they were in mostly clear condition when they left. That, along with the fact, that rescue personnel weren’t hit by Prolaxian Herald Mave’s caustic spit, and no one escalated this mansion to ...

The fact that Ajimal was being summoned at all was beyond him. He was an emperor of the world, one of the few great generals who were carving their place among the leaders of history. Even still, he was summoned, just as all others were. Yet, Ajimal knew the call was not for one such as him. Who was he to answer to the whims of the gods. He was beyond such petty things. He had carved his own future upon the world. He no longer ne...

I was grieving. Officially that was what I was given time off for, and that was what I was doing. I guess it should be considered sad how the events of my life have gotten here. For my now ex-girlfriend was dead, I had killed her. Wait, not like that, when she jumped bodies as a celestial spirit and overtook a second body, she used the same exact baubles to make me fall in love with her. Baubles that she then used to make me fall in love with someone else...

Interlude VIII
Admiral Lemitov sat in his private quarters upon the Khardashian, the imperial flagship of the human space force. While he was the only person in the room, he was not alone, at least not from an operational level. He was in emergency correspondence with that man, even now he hated having to deal with that individual, for while his methods showed results. The individual in question was almost more than he could take.

Kosha
Dungeoneering II
“Now, this is a sacred art that we are passing down to you.” Brenna began. As she spoke, Kosha who had begun to think of the woman more and more of a big sister, listened intently. For when she spoke, the world made sense. She spoke of ways to understand the world, and people. Most importantly she was the one who clearly understood what Lykan was thinking and feeling, just from his posture. Seeing the way she viewed the world and was ab...

With my words Mel, or the puppeteer of the current Jenna Da’anvil and former puppeteer of Melissa Gardner, my once soul mate. Though once she died, all my emotions to her suddenly vanished as if they had never truly been there. A...

The main task was done. I had done my part. I had planted the seed of the world tree, as was my part of the arrangement. I even went the extra mile, in taking down a Prolaxian Infiltrator’s plot to destroy or at least cripple the world tree seed. Battled through the darkness.
I also learned a few things. First off, they, and by they, I mean the Prolaxian Infiltrators, they refer to themselves as Heralds. Does that mean that they are a sign of s...

Playing into Misconceptions
There is an unspoken language that all women inherently speak and understand. That language often relates to interpreting interpersonal relationships between strangers. Now add to the fact was that Brenna was a very talented empath. Her skill in empathy, and social intelligence was partly why she got along so well with Lykan. It also had the added benefit of letting Brenna be aware of potential threats to her special relationshi...

Technically I have gotten nothing so far. Then again there is the whole fact that I haven’t held up my end of the bargain either. The sacred seed that I am supposed to plant is currently pulsing next to my chest.

Blood and other liquids poured from the various wounds of the beast that had never heale...

I’ve heard of the whole human tradition of talking to plants. I also know that Endarians are very into communing with plants and nature. I even saw the way this universe’s Rayquel; spoke to the seed I gave her in exchange for my freedom. I saw all of that, yet I didn’t think I would have seen the day, when a seed would dictate not only, who had to plant it, but when and where as well.

I’ve been kidnapped. Well maybe that is just me being somewhat overly dramatic. I haven’t been officially kidnapped. There was no abduction, while I was grabbed by the arm rather forcefully, one could argue that I could have struggled to get away. Since then, it has been a twenty plus hour ride with Rayquel, well and her armed Endarian delegation to an unknown location in silence.
Yep, super fun.

Fear
The last time Ezma had felt fear was now close to a decade ago, when she had been exiled from her home country. Cast aside as a disgraced princess to Piran. She had been called out for being a terrible seer. In retrospect, she was. In fact, she should have never been a seer at all to begin with.
The only reason she even had any oracular abilities at all, was due to her deep connection to Jhamet a blue skinned oracular male dragon. At the time she ...

Annoyingly, General Sharma would not seem to take a hint. She had clearly overstayed her welcome, as Mave made abundantly clear with her number of mumbled gestures about needing to perform certain tasks. Of course, when pressed, Mave could never come up with a truly concrete excuse. Instead, she had hoped that the general would take a hint. Yet, she wouldn’t.
A few times the General got away from her. Worse, Sharma was exceptionally aware of her surroundings. Three...

Even little Kosha heard the pings and had received the message. This was the only reason she had not ...

Parallax
Perspective, the ability to look rationally at one moment of time from a different mindset. Perspective is often what is required to turn a failure, into a learning experience. Also looking at things from a different position, can cause parallax, the complete shifting of an object when viewed from a different point in space. I’m likely getting ahead of myself. There is a reason for that, my mind is racing as I am trying to understand everything I’ve just wi...
