Clarke woke slowly and painfully, swimming up from the hazy oblivion of unconsciousness, eyes opening a crack. They widened as things came into focus, and she sat up with a gasp of surprise, one that rapidly became a soft squeal of pain as her injuries, aggravated by the sudden movement, made their presence agonizingly known. She slumped back down, making occasionally soft whining sounds as she gasped for breath, and focused on trying to think. She was alive, and the last thing she r...

################################################
Mount Olympos, home of the Greek Pantheon, was a place that had long held the imagination and dreams of mankind. A beautiful, shining place from which the gods reigned over all of creation, described by Homer as a massive, sprawling akropolis nestled into the mountainside, just below its peak. Guarded by golden gates, filled with divine palaces, a place of peace, prosperity, and divine wisdom. A place as c...

There were countless beliefs about how the universe began. Innumerable religions and myths, explanations both mystical and mundane, magical and scientific. Theories of how everything that is, was, and will be was shaped and formed, theories of how it functioned, theories of what came when it ended. Even theories that there were multiple universes, an endless cascading tree of existences defined moment by mo...

So the next update, I expect, will be Because of the War. Furthermore, I have several projects that are approaching the point where I would be considering the idea of starting to post them. There is a poll up on my Patreon (Pat-reon dot com/historicalhijinks) that is open to the public (in other words, you don’t have to be paying me money to vote) to provide me some guidance on what people would want to see as a new project the most. This poll will be up for exactly one month.

“Put this on.” Asmu-Nikal greeted me to her room three days later with blunt words and an imperious finger pointing at an outfit that had been draped over the back of a chair. She had kept me at arm’s length since our chat in the library, but while she had more or less ignored me, she hadn’t done anything to punish me or otherwise display displeasure with me either. If I had to ...

In retrospect, perhaps, having my already-angry owner return home and find me sitting in her private library, reading her private notes and contemplations on the Force and other related subjects had…not been the wisest idea in the world. Of course, I hadn’t intended for that to be the case, but I had gotten rather absorbed by what she had to say. Some of her thoughts were genuinely profound, and more than a fe...

If Kostia hadn’t already thought that Klark was insane, she would damn well believe it now. Brave, but insane.

The two of them against nearly half a dozen might be good odds if Klark was an expert tracker and am...
