Chapter 30: Designated Successor
Zalek Trig and his Alpha Draconian allies sat within a dense portion of the asteroid belt located between the fourth planet and the Terran system's largest gas giant. Trig couldn't help but smile as he watched events that were being sent back from Earth. For the past two hours, he and Altair Rhiutus had been remotely observing the ongoing festivities at the so-called Terra Gala Celebration with great interest. Clearly, the Humans and their newfound friends were enjoying themselves...immensely. So much so that they had already let their guard down in spectacular fashion. The lower tropospheric surveillance imagery he was viewing was captured by an AD scout drone that easily managed to circumvent Rigel and Arcturian "orbital security forces". Given the outcome of recent events, Trig was not surprised. The smile on his face confirmed his satisfaction.
Rhiutus knew that smile and didn't need to ask what triggered it.
"With our three Class C warships in place we have enough firepower to easily ruin their day," he said with his own smile firmly in place.
Trig looked up at his much larger reptilian colleague with a mixture of surprise and disapproval. He responded to the simplistic suggestion.
"Attack? Today? No..."
"For now, we will let the Humans bask in a false sense of security. We will temporarily allow them to enjoy a feeling of happiness and relief. We will let them rely on their newfound galactic popularity. However, I can assure you my friend that none of this will last. Their days of unfettered oxygen processing are numbered. In time, we will make sure of that. On this day, however, let us simply be thankful for the Supreme Leader's foresight that led him to send me to the Outerworlds. Perhaps on some unconscious level, Toeth knew what was coming. In the end, the Gods chose to save me. And in doing so, to save our people..."

"Despite the heavy losses we have incurred, in due time we will decimate these frail, pathetic creatures, their allies, and the worlds they live on. Together, we will forcibly take back Zeta Reticulon and stake our claim throughout Sektor V whenever and wherever we wish."
THE END (for now...)

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

Anyways, this story is about God's and creativity and bonkers off the wall (expletive) and rituals and God's and sex jokes. I probably got inspired by like all of the mythos stories that have been popping up on here. It's in a VERY rough form because I've just been getting back into writing. I've written like fifty thousand words already so I guess have fun.
