279 - I Like to Order One Umagi Set!

The night skies were lit up by floating orbs of light and bright darts of tracers and exploding shells of cannons. Cannon and small arms fire rumbled like thunder while the effects of the tracers and shelling caused the surrounding vegetation to catch fire, bathing the low clouds an orangey glow.

The Snake hissed with angry, unsure where those irritating explosions came from, but it hurts. It's barely recovered body and tough scales could easily withstand arrows and swords, b...

278 - Operation Pied Piper

Orwell's Point, Marine Command

The atmosphere in the converted great hall was taut with anticipation as the men and women in the command center watched the screens of the UAV broadcasting live from the plains. The orange glow of the sun rays slowly crept down the plains at the sun slowly set over the horizon and the land turned dark.

The UAV automatically switched to night mode and the view on the screens jumped, flickering white before turning the view into ...

277 - The Trap

Great Ocean Plains

A small camp could be seen bustling with activity on the open plains. A huge rectangular area was cordoned off with white ropes and red flags while Marines in work fatigue unloaded large barrels and supplies off the supply trucks.

Irisval, her long hair tied up and stuffed into her cap and dressed in a pair of grey work overalls with military boots walked the ground around the cordoned area. She turned to the military liaison following her ...

276 - High Value Target

Mills crouched next to a section of Marines who were taking pot shots at the Imperial camp. The floating illumination spells and flares backlit the guards on the wall allowing the Marines to easily make accurate shots over the less than two hundred meters distance between them.

Suddenly like an ant hill after getting poked, the gates swung opened and scores of shielded infantry poured out with a gaggle of cavalry mixed up among the soldiers.

"Alright, boys!" ...

275 -Three Way War

Orwell's Point, Marine Command

Joseph straightened up as the video link came to live and saluted to the officers on the other side of the link. "Good morning, Sirs!"

"The Operation to retrieve Rastraz from the Imperials has gone down successfully. Falcon company has disengaged from the enemy and is pulling back to form a skirmish line 3 kilometers away from the Imperials." Joseph reported.

"Good. How is Rastraz doing?" Blake asked. 

274 - Disturbance in the Force!

Great Ocean Plains

It spat out a mouthful of bone dust and earth as it slithered back away from the relentless advance of the undead. It hissed in displeasure at the tasteless soul it had consumed and narrowed its flint eyes at the undead surrounding it.

"ISH THE LORD OF CHAOSSS!" The embroilment of Apep hissed loudly. "ISH THE DEVOURER OF SOULSS!! OBEEY MEE!"

The undead heedless of its commands pressed on against the Great Serpent swinging t...

273 - You Don't Mess with the UN!

Lance Corporal Ladin of 2nd Battalion, Falcon Company, Platoon 3, Section 4 laid low in his concealed foxhole, watching the appearance of the first Imperial river barge being paddled by slaves coming down the river before him and his section.

His company Lieutenant hissed urgently, "Keep your heads down! If those Blue Boys spot you! You gonna get toilet cleaning duties for the whole damn month!"

The men instinctively ducked their heads lower, no one wants to ...

He could hear the internal rock structure of the MAW cracking loud and the sad shrieking of the joints as the damaged components rubbed together by the malfunctioning spider tank. The MAW made another few mor...

270 - Dragon Down

Shard River

The square shaped hull of the river barge quaked slightly under her feet as she stood with her hands on her hips while staring up at the circling dragon with deep blue eyes. The ballistas on the midships tossed out another bolt into the skies and the deck quivered again.

She glanced back at another river barge which had a dragon tied down with rune chains and wondered if the rampaging dragon in the air was its mate as it desperately and futilely t...

A long snaking river sparkled under the sun stretched away from Blue Thunder's view as he rode the warm updrafts of the air currents. He lazily beat his wings and followed the river, heading upwards as he and his crew were watching the river of any Imperial movements.

Blue Thunder snaked his head back and peeked at Rastraz at his rear and winked at Crew Chief Stamford who sighed and shook his head at Blue ...

A soldier in clad in black armor ran across the sleek tiles of the Grand Palace. His cloak billowed behind him as his mail boots clanked loudly, echoing throughout the empty hallways. He paused before an open doorway and knelt down, "Lord Rock!" 

The man who conquered the Two Nation Alliance stood with his back facing the soldier with his hands clasped behind his back. He dressed in a simple grey tunic and ...

267 - It is A Good Day to Die

Aaron pushed himself to a kneeling position before giving a sudden twist to his dislocated left shoulder, snapping it back into place with a cry of pain.

He looked up at the towering spider tank which had stopped about 50 meters away from him. He glanced around seeing all his Orcs were littered around either dead or dying.

He sighed as he picked up his M7A1 and stood up facing the spider tank. "You know, it's hard to train these guys... Such a waste of my tim...

266 - Live Free

The plains were burning. Thick oily black smoke rosed into the skies, where it was visible hundreds of kilometers away. The creatures living in the vicinity fled from the inferno that was raging on in the heart of the plains.

The fire was constantly accompanied by thunderous roars that could be heard echoing away dozens of kilometers away. No sane creature nor person had remained close by, as they all fled away from the angry pressure of the Serpent God.

Between the edge of Uncharted Forest and Great Ocean Plains

Aaron Hart frowned as he rode out of the Forest from the back of the tamed wolf. He felt a sharp ache in his chest for quite a while and wondered what mortal illness could still affect his body.

He looked back to the Forest and smiled as he thought of the note and the present he left behind for his 'friends', knowing that they will definitely love it.

Suddenly another sharp ache stab...

It was having the best time of its long immortal life, eating its fill after hundreds and hundreds of years sealed within the darkness and now the foolish mortal had agreed to its pact of sharing his body with it.

It recognized the mortals when it first set eyes on them when they awoke him when they somehow found an idol that contained some of its conscious. It had not ...

262 - Yippie Kai Yay!

Great Ocean Plains

A large dust cloud trailed behind the group of wind wolves with riders on their backs as they traveled as fast as they could. The Oerkin Shamans and their escorts had ridden hard for more than a day and a half before a massive dark mound appeared before them in the dark moonlit night.

As they came closer to the mound, it turned out to be a massive outcrop of rock that barely had any life on it. "Finally! The Ancestral Hill!" The elder shama...

The enraged snake seemed immune to the machine gun hammering away at its body. Drake stopped to catch his breath while he swung his own weapon up and to add his firepower into the mix. He noticed that the rounds that impacted the body of the snake seemed to spew out smoke instead of blood.

Could it be a creature made out of some arcane shit? Thought Drake. "I will fucking pay you...

Orwell's Point, Docks, Location of a cultist den,

Evelyn paused in her tracks and crouched down low as she followed the trail of magic that matched the other cultists' locations the soldiers had unrevealed. The smell of rotting wood and fish wafted up from the rows and rows of tied up river barges lashed together against the docks.

She nimbly climbed over the top of one of the barges and leopard crawled her way to the edge of the roof an...

Captain Joseph, Commanding Officer of the Third Marine Battalion, sat facing several of the locally remaining prominent men of Orwell's Point. The local merchants and community leaders glared uneasily at their opposite counterparts made up of ex-slaves who glared back with equal resentment and malice.

"Thank you all for making your time out of your busy schedules to meet me here," Joseph politely greeted the...

He glanced down at the kneeling Orc dressed in a red coat and frowned. "So you are saying you met a monster that spews fire like those weapons of ours?"

"Y- yes, my chief, " The sweating Orc bowed his head lower, "Much faster and more powerful!"

"Many Oerkins die!" The Orc continued, "I ran, bring news back!"

"I see," Aaron sighed and reached down and patted the Orc on its burly shoulder. "You did...

Aslan was having a bad dream. Images of his father's face morphing to his own, hands dragging him away to the abyss, his mother crying and screaming as she was torn away from his grasp. He suddenly jolted awake and looked at the ring of faces staring down at him.

He felt his cheeks stinging as if someone had slapped him hard several times. "Wh- what, where am I?"

"Finally awake, boy?" A gruff voice spoke over him and he tried to focus his eyes onto the speake...

256 - The Great Devourer

The whole Palace rocked and rumbled as the Sultan's suite suddenly exploded. Coughing and shaking his head to get rid of the ringing in his ears, Tyrier stood up from the hallway outside of the suite now turned into a rubble of broken concrete.

The rest of his men collected themselves and looked into the wrecked room, "What the fark was that?"

"Shit... I don't think that will stop it!" Tyrier quickly answered. "We need to get out of here now!"

Outskirts of Sin City

The skies of over the distant city lit up and brights dots of lights continuously floated away before disappearing into the darkness of the night skies. 

Blue Thunder sniffed and whimpered with pain as his crew poured antiseptic over his torn wing membranes before stretching them and using a large sewing needle to sew the torn pieces together.

"Oh, you big baby!" Rastraz giggled from the side as she stretched her se...

Raman stormed hurriedly into the Great Hall where the rest of his cadre sat around with worried looks on their face. Ivan waved the Orc guards away and ordered them to guard the main doors before closing and bolting the doors.

Raman grabbed a pitcher of watered wine and poured himself a goblet, shooing the slave away who offered to do the work. He slumped down on the chair at the head of the table and said, "How? HOW?!"
