307 - Dragon's Breath

"Incoming dragons!" A warning cry came from the lines and winged serpentine shapes could be seen in the skies coming up in support of the Imperial attack columns.

"HQ! We got inbound dragons!" A Marine radioman yelled his report over the din of firing guns. "Requesting immediate air support! Repeat we need AA support now!"

As the dragons drew closer, some of the machine gun teams switch their attention to swatting the big lizards off the sky as they came swoo...

306 - Coming Home

Imperial Lines

Young Merck was seriously terrified. Just a few weeks back, he was just a normal person, having a normal life as the son of a farmer. He toiled the grain fields diligently with his other brothers and sisters day in day out.

Life was hard but peaceful and he had no complaints. Taxes, as usual, were high but still, they had just enough left over for the winter months as long as they do not indulge.

Suddenly his whole changed when...

305 - We Kill and Eat Babies!

UN Rear Trench Alpha Two, Mess Tentage

Mills ravenously wolved down the helpings of fried hash browns and chili over grains before swiping down his mess tin with a hunk of bread. He burped out in satisfaction and dropped the mess tin into the barrel with other used tins. 

Dozens of other Marines on rest rotation were gathered at the Mess tent having their mid day meal. There were also members of the voluntary corps made up from locals and ex slaves who w...

304 - Battle of Shard River

Rowan of Lockey bared his teeth in a fierce display of bravado as he worked the wrench with all his might together with the rest of the ballista crew.

The dark grey silhouette of the demon ship appeared to be charging directing at him with its dagger shaped bow at a speed that was mind boggling to him.

Over the course of the past two days, he had witnessed how it ambushed a flotilla of seven Imperial fighting barges each at least ten times its size! Not only ...

303 - Home Run

Quartz slipped down the steep ladder and down into Engine room of the Daisy. He saw the unconscious engineer laying against the bulkhead with an egg sized bump on his head and shook his head. He will have to thoroughly ensure everyone keeps on their helmets when they are under combat if they survive this!

"What's the situation here?" Quartz asked one of the mechanics who was hunched over the open panels of the boat's engines. 

"Skipper!" The mechanic rep...

302 - Broken and Running

Edge of the Northern Front

Moel's fists whitened with rage as he clenched them tightly against the reins of his war dragon. He watched the defeated elements of his troops retreating haphazardly in a disgraceful and disorderly manner to the rear and swallowed down his rage.

He tugged his reins savagely and jerked his mount around and retreated away from the front after casting a last look of hatred at the smoke covered enemy lines. "Regroup the men!"

301 - Breaking Point

0655 Hours, Northern Front

As the sky started to slowly brighten over the horizon, hundreds of rainbow hue domes of protection advanced across the battlefield that was lit up by dazzling stars floating in the skies. 

Orange red tracers were like some kind of firework display burst out constantly creating an enormous light show for everyone to see while the thunder of the guns was the symphony to the grand show.

Captain Joseph frowned dee...

300 - Stand To

"Shit!" The engineer cursed wildly as he and the other crew members worked on the busted fuses and melted cables. "Damn, lightning spells fried the power!"

The crew armed with spare cables started to rip the burnt and melted wiring out from the compartments and circuit breakers boxes while the Daisy's removed the engine covers and cursed again. "Damn, the belt has melted!"

"Shut the engine down or we be rowing home!" He yelled up from the engine room hatch. 2019-08-26 12:35:44 +0000 UTC View Post

299 - Parley

Orwell's Point, North Defense Line

A simple tent with its sides rolled up, sat on the top of the small rise. Inside the tent, a simple table and half a dozen chairs were placed over the night.

Lady Titanna sat on one of the chairs, nestling a cup of tea nervously as she waited for her people to come. She kept glancing out towards the forest while Mills laid on his back at the side of the tent. 

Soon, the thumping of hooves could be felt ...

Current Update

Sorry for the lack of updates for the past week or so... Im currently in a bad shape now(health wise) and will need a couple more days to recover due to having high fever running on and off and my left knee is swollen up and inflamed. 

Sorry for the wait.

298 - Stand Off

Shard River, North of Orwell's Point

Dozens of barges nested against the sandy banks of the river as teams of workers unloaded equipment and supplies off the barges while being overseen by Marines. Trucks and jeeps slowly and carefully rolled off the ramps of the barges and drove off to marshaling points.

Marines with earth affinity rapidly loosen the earth so that the others could easily dig up the soil to create a trench network. A small army of foresters f...

297 - Airdrop supplies

Rathia stepped off the jeep and surveyed his surroundings. Abandoned burning torches laid hap hazardously all around, casting an orange glow to the area while bloodied bodies of people and Oerkins remained where they had fallen.

"Much thanks, Lord Rathia!" A trembling voice spoke from behind Rathia. "You save my people!"

Turok cautiously climbed off the wonderous magic carriage and kneeled down before Rathia. "I pledge my soul to your service, Lord Rathia!" 2019-08-13 14:07:44 +0000 UTC View Post

296 - The Night Is Still Young

The Messiah swallowed the greasy strip of grilled meat offered to him with relish. He watched the squirming female bonded and gagged to a rock stab been carved up by the Elders and grilling the meat over the fire like a live bbq station.

Some of his people were dancing and singing to the musical instruments either salvaged or handcrafted. He smiled at the scene, totally oblivious to the suffering and dying female before him.

Suddenly, continuous thunder could...

295 - Eaters of Kin

"I'm feeling sick..." Hitsu whimpered as he laid flat on the grass. "You guys keep watch..."

"Hey!" Young jabbed Hitsu's side. "No slacking off!"

"This is that moment that Doctor likes to say right?" Hitsu sighed. "A sanity check moment..."

"I know its bad..." Young hissed. "But we need to keep tabs on them!"

"Hey Wolf," Hitsu poked the younger soldier on the side. "You alright?"

Wolf wiped the sides of his m...

294 - An Invitation

Rathia observed the Pact messenger as he stood at the entrance of the temporary campsite of the Marines. The strips of filthy red cloth tied on his arms and legs had dried blood caking the cloth. 

Rathia gestured to the messenger and asked. "Are you wounded?" 

"No, Lord," The messenger replied. "This is a sign of our faith and commitment to the Pact!"

"What is the Pact?" Rathia asked curiously.

"The Pact is a vow we...

293 - The City of Sins

Two Days before the Events of the Ball

"This is Outrider Two Six, I have eyes on the ruins over." The radio buzzed.

Tyrier leaned over closer to the operator in the command truck and listened in to the verbal exchange.

"Two Six, this is Hotel," The operator smoothly replied. "What's the situation over there, over."

"Two Six, I got visual on multiple camps around the ruins. Looks like survivors, over."

"Hotel,...

292 - No Rest For the Wicked

UNS Singapore, Captain's Quarters

"Is this report true?" Blake asked as he read through the paper document with red stamps of 'Top Secret' stamped here and there.

Intel Officer Tavor nodded. "As much as info I could gather from the boy."

"But there is no way for us to verify the truth," He added.

"If what he claims is the truth," Blake put down the report. "It could change the war totally for us!"

"Yes, Sir,"...

291 - Families

Titanna Rothschild sat on one of the chairs by the Ballroom and stare in dumbstruck at the parties of people clearing the bodies of Knights off the carefully manicured lawn that had been destroyed by the battle.

It was not even a battle, she thought to her self. Barely a skirmish which saw the lives of over a hundred elite Knights destroyed! She knew these barbarians have powerful magic, but this was out of her expectations totally and she shivered at the fear at the thought ...

Orwell's Point, Docks

"Light 'em up!" The Lieutenant of Falcon company, Platoon 4, yelled and the powerful floodlight flashed to life, its powerful beam bathing the silver Imperial river barge with a glow as bright as day.

The Imperial Knights and guards flinched away from the sudden glare of light beams that covered their ship with surprise. 

"DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND PUT BOTH YOUR...

289 - Manison of Madness

Captain Joseph, UNMC, ignored the females trying to get his attention at the Ball as he listened to the radio reports and broke out into a smile before he quickly took a sip of his drink to cover it up. 

"Sir," LT Silverstar, OC of Falcon Company, appeared at his side and spoke in a low voice. "It's done. What's next?"

"Enjoy the party, of course!" Joseph grinned. "They must be getting confused and nervous at this point."

"Should we evac...

288 - Party Time

Orwell's Point, Governor's Estate

Dozens and dozens of lavishly decorated and ornate carriages drawn by land dragons decked out in finery took turns to enter the main gates into the estate grounds of the mansion that once belonged to the Imperial Governor in Orwell's Point.

Marines in full battle order stood guard and checked each and every carriage and the attendees to the Grand Ball. Almost everyone prominent and influential was invited to the Ball and it w...

287 - True Lies

Great Ocean Plains

The rumble of a motorcycle scattered the herd of plain hoppers from their grazing as Hitsu crested over the gentle slope. He pushed his goggles up and pulled down his bandana before taking a sip of water and radioed in. "One, this is Two Lead, coast is all clear, over."

"One, roger that, keep your eyes peeled. Out."

Hitsu turned around and looked at the dust trail kicked up by the convoy of trucks and turned to Young. "Why ...

286 - Negotiations

"Thorn?" Dr. Sharon poked her head into the room which had been converted into a sort of laboratory wizard tower for the Magister. "We need you in the great hall!"

"Wait! Wait!" Magister Thorn was hunched over several vials and beakers of some liquid on the desk. He looked like he was doing some alchemical ritual but using modern chemistry glassware gifted to him by Dr. Sharon.

"What are you doing?" Dr. Sharon frowned and entered the room. "What is that?"

285 - Be My Guest

Eastern Shore of the Source Sea

Over a hundred square hulled river barges anchored a short distance from the shoreline of the giant inland freshwater lake. Hundreds more tiny boats ferried men, equipment, land dragons, and supplies across to the ships while thousands more men awaited their turn on the shore.

The Rock turned to his adjutant, "How long more?"

"My Lord, it will take the troops and supplies another day more to load up onboard the...

UNS Singapore, Conference Room

The room quickly filled up with both physical and virtual presence with the top brass and Heads of Departments. Once everyone had settled down, Commander Ford started the meeting. "As you know the agenda for today's meeting, will be about our future prospects here."

"We have landed here for almost a year and a half and had made substantial progress on all fields," Ford continued. "Be it agriculture, mining, manufacture, construc...

Uncharted Forest

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Josa yelled out from behind a makeshift sandbag bunker while a piercing siren wailed out. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

He inserted a key into the firing slot and gave it a twist after the wailing siren blared three times to warn everyone of the danger. 

The forest rumbled and the earth shook, while hundreds of colorful feathered wyverns burst out into the skies as the planted explosives detonated. Snaps and cr...

Orwell's Point Airfield

"Ras?" Blue Thunder poked his head into the entrance of the hangar. "Are you there?"

He heard a small shuffling noise from deep inside the hangar and he crawled his way in. "Ras?"

His eyes adjusted to the dark of the hangar and he saw Rastraz huddled into a ball at the very back of the steel and wood hangar, her wings draped protectively over her head.

Blue Thunder sighed, remembering when he was first...

281 - Feelings

Orwell's Point, Docks

Mills's arm darted and caught Titanna as she nearly tripped over the bobbing skiff when she tried to climb up the slippery steps of the harbor slip. The rest of Eagle Company were being ferried over by the river boats when they returned from across the Shard River.

"Be careful!" Mills warned as he gripped her restrained arms firmly. "It's slippery!"

Titanna blushed angrily and when she managed to stand on firm ground, sh...

Orwell's Point, Northen Border

Mills slapped the side of his neck and wiped the slimy remains of a bug off against his sweat and mud caked uniform. He used his boots to push away a curious little blue slime in his path and turned back to find their high value prisoner riding on one of the captured land dragon staring daggers at him.

If looks could kill, she probably killed him a dozen times over. He sighed and waited till the mount carrying the prisoner came ...
