He growled, tossing the covers off his form and dropping from the cot to the ground. "They really need to fix that intercom, the damn buzzing it makes irritates the hell outta my ears." He muttered aloud to himself as he slipped into a pair of jeans, grabbing a patchy and torn shirt from his closet. He stepped out of his room and into a long low hallway bustling with activity, soldiers and scientists, with the former outnumbering the latter, madly ran about lik

03/18/2022 -0:15 to incident Report by Major Daveth McAthers It was an average day, like any other. We were doing patrols, me and a ride along from the academy. Didn't get the idea behind it, the ride alongs. Something about experiencing the field. Guess you can't really learn how to be a cop in a classroom. I think it also helped keep us honest. Hard to take a bribe with the eyes of a hopeful, naïve cadet looking to you like your a hero. Took one look at that cadet, her hope filled and dream glazed eyes, and I knew from then that I was gonna have a hard time living up to her expectations. Still, I think I did alright, considering the

Now you know of the making of reality, so you shall learn of the forging of Aentr'nal, the first realm. The gods went forth into the nothingness, bidden by the first entity, whom is not heard of from this to the end of the tale, but must not be forgotten. For he had spoke and bidden them. "Go forth, now both living and real, and with the powers of your spirits as brought forth in your melody make something of nothing, and bring forth reality." Thus did the gods go forth and sing, and from their singing they forged a world, and named it Aentr'nal, which for them meant forever in the forgotten language. From the will of Gaia came living earth

There was nothing, no dawn and no dusk, no light and no dark. A void of emptiness where in was held an endless silence that had no significance and no purpose. Oblivion. That was all, and all was nothing. to this day none know how or why this changed. We can speculate, but our speculations are little more than childish fantasies, for we could never understand the sheer concept of their having been nothing. Having lived all our lives in an existence where, even where there is little there is still Something. Regardless of how or why, at one point the nothing ceased to be nothing, and all was forever changed. In the depths of emptiness ther

   Morning broke through my window with the same softness I remembered from those days when mom would be in the kitchen making pancakes, dad would be sitting at the table drinking coffee and going over reports. I curl myself tighter, trying to dispel such memories, but they still drive into me. The feeling of the floor boards as I walk down the halls to my family, my little siblings already at the table. I shudder as in my mind I see my mother turn to me and smile.   I let the tears slide free, and I would have fallen apart there, except I hear dad calling me to wake up. I slowly pull the covers off and set my feet on the floor, still crying

Prologue: Dawn of an Era  Five years ago, our world was changed by the selfish hatred and anger of a single man. This man was the first of his kind, but by no means was he the last. We call them Proto-sapiens... Proto's for short. About twenty percent of the population are Proto sapiens now, and by New Federation Laws, they are weeded out, examined for danger level and, if necessary, incarcerated or executed. Some Proto's are obvious, they have unique features that make it easy to figure out what they are. Features like wings or claws, adaptations or mutations that make them dangerous and different. They're commonly called by the derogatory

  At what point in life do you realize that you have to stand up, to go forward without hesitation? At what point do you put aside all doubts, all the fears and indecision that plague your mind? At what point do you say "I want to live"?  For me, that point in life came when everything I held dear, everything I loved, had been taken from me. When the ones who were important to me came under threat, when the system failed to protect us. And at that point it was no longer about me... It was no longer about revenge or justice.  At that point it became a simple question: What are you willing to sacrifice for them?  I was asked that question

Prologue Hello. You don't know me, but if you stay awhile and listen, you will learn so much about this world. The secrets behind the way of things, as well as the reasons as to why they are kept secret. Where to start this story, well a background of sorts is always good right? Before the cars and lights and fancy signs, the world was a very different place. It was cold in the winter, hot in the winter, pleasant in the spring and sad in the fall. There were not nations, but kingdoms, led by those many who enjoyed power and sated their carnal desires with it. And also by a few who thought of a king as a servant, rather than a ruler. It is o
