****************
Deidra sat quietly on the grass while her students looked over the hud map that she opened up. "Two minutes to study all the landmasses on Colonial, you best not get any of them wr..."
"Mother!" Elen Mtui didn't like interrupting his mother while she was teaching or any other time for that matter.
Deidra could hear his heart racing. Her dark eyes sent him a questioning look. Did he run here? Or had something happened? "Yes?"

"Four Nether Overseerers have just been slain!"
Deidra stood slowly while summoning her armor. "Some sort of revolt? I didn't think Azul had any rivals."
Mtui shook his head. "It's Inferno, or rather the 12 Pillar Alliance."
"Damn it! Doesn't Nix know that Azul isn't someone to be trifled with?"
/Inter-Planar Message Alert: The Inferno Guild has slain the Nether Emperor Khan Azul. All Nether based skill-sets have been reduced by half.
/Inter-Planar Message Alert: Rumors are circulating that a hidden continent called Everspire has been discovered.
/Inter-Planar Message Alert: Inter-Planar Guild Quest: Discover Everspire has been issued.
/Inter-Planar Message Alert: Inferno has discovered the lost continent of Everspire.
Deidra frowned at all the messages scrolling across her hud. "No more teaching today, meditate on what you've learned."
[Create Breach: Loki Docks]
Deidra motioned for her son to follow and she stepped through.
The dragon stepped onto the docks, the first person she saw was Vice Leader Jun Li. "Vice-Leader! I need to speak with you!"
Jun Li and Sharl dragged the body of Zedmundi back further away from the open breach before letting him drop onto the Loki dock. As requested they blackhanded him as soon as the fight started.
Jun Li turned at the voice and held up a hand. "One moment please."
/Alliance Command: Vice Leader Jun Li: All Groups report in.
/Alliance Command: Sub-Commander Gideon: Orphil is down, we have his corpse at the gate.
/Alliance Command: Sub-Commander Sulane: Val is dead, her corpse is at the market place.
/Alliance Command: Sub-Commander Banja: Dhahat is dead, his body is at the platform.
Sharl watched Deidra walk up. "Nix isn't here. Is there something I can help you with?"
****************
/Alpha Team: Semmi: Nice wings Fajii!
Nix was examining the beautifully earth-colored Archon wings attached to Fajii. "You didn't tell me that you earned your wings."
Fajii smiled. "I wanted to surprise you."
"Well done Fajii." Nix hugged her close for a moment before releasing her.
/Alpha Team: Pon: You trying to kill us punk bastard? Didn't Esta tell you not to push lightning up your flame strands?
/Alpha Team: Nix: I took it under advisement.
Nix closed all the breaches he currently had opened.
[Create Breach: Loki Docks]
/Alpha Team: Nix: Bring his corpse back to Loki, I have a few loose ends that I need to wrap up.
/Alpha Team: Semmi: Okay Boss. Smart thinking, putting the Blackhand on Khan.
/Alpha Team: Fajii: Actually I did that.
/Alpha Team: Nix: Good job!
/Alpha Team: Wind: Kicked ass and now it's time to go.
/Alpha Team: Pon: Damn, it's tiring to be so awesome all the time. Party time right?
/Alpha Team: Nix: Oh hell yeah. Let's have it at the Emerald Salamander on Loki.
/Alpha Team: Semmi: Call us if you need to Nix.
Nix waited until they exited the chamber and then he closed the gate behind them.
[Direct Contact: Leva]
Leva's face was paler than normal, sweat dripped from her brow. "Nix... You guys killed the Khan Azul."
Nix nodded, "the plan was perfect. How did your part go?"
Leva must have still been in the field, the sounds of occasional fighting could be heard on Nix's side. "My forces have expanded into the territories of the slain Overlords, we are meeting light resistance."
"Good job Leva, now patch me through."
"Right away Nix."
/Nether Command Directive: Overseer Leva: I have a request from the Guild Leader of Inferno. He wishes to address the Nether Council. I'm patching him in.
/Nether Command Directive: Overseer Leva:
[Guild Leader Nix:]
I call for the unconditional surrender of all Nether Overlords. The Nether Region will be divided among the five strongest Overseers and thereafter you will continue to rule yourselves. You can decide by might or vote who the Overseers are going to be. It's my intention to leave the Nether in your hands. Any future excursions into the other planes will be tolerated only if they are non-combatant in nature.
You have one hour to comply, or we will remove the rest of you.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

The Grey Realm, an Erebus Story.
Written by: Staugroan and The Inklets. Edited by: Claudia Adams. In the beginning there was a god, who watched over and made one world his own. Soon after the god grew restless, but happened to stumble on a small world filled with life. This world was named Erebus by its peoples; humanity. The god was so fascinated with this new world that he started to copy it back home, creating oceans, forests, deserts, and so forth. Then the god created life and eventually his favored creations who would be immortals and be the better of mankind in every way-the elves. So often the god had traveled to Erebus that the two worlds became linked by magic and their inhabitants could cross at will. Relations between the races flourished, and a great empire was born in the Grey Realm, home of the elves. But the god once again grew restless, and set loose great beasts that stood at the top of any food chain, the apex. At first the elves met the challenge and fought them head on. But mankind was not so lucky, they died in droves to push back even a single apex. Something had to be done. Elves and man worked together to begin sealing off the worlds to protect mankind, to limit the ways in and out to better fight the apex off and keep their fellows safe. The ritual had adverse effects the likes of which neither the elves nor man could predict; the sealing of the worlds started slow, but the magic had never been done before, and in their ignorance it spread to completely cut the two worlds off from one another. It ejected the apex, and other magical being back into the Grey Realm, saving Erebus. At first the elves were content, they would find a way back once the apex were dead and gone. But the seal had done more than keep Erebus locked away. The powersource of the seal was magic itself, from both worlds, and it consumed it all greedily. The elves, weakened without their magic, crumbled into ruin, and the apex were free to hunt the other races of the Grey Realm. Two-thousand years later a strange phenomena is occurring and magic is slowly returning to the Grey Realm, and tears open that allow passage to Erebus. Thu'lain and a few elves must make the journey to fallen kingdom of the elves Anosora, in the hopes of reclaiming what was once theirs. They must face their nemesis the apex, and survive not only the species that have turned against them, but a terrible being left behind by the god to kill even the apex. Uch'l'thein, the faceless terror.
