First Line Game
Tagged by: @bottom-lexa @dysco-lymonade
rules: don't reblog the first one, make a new post! look at the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published. look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any!
Slytherin Chronicles #6:
“You know, it’s beautiful outside, you don’t have to spend your days cocooned in here.”
Lexa doesn’t tear her eyes from the book opened in front of her, “Anya, I’m studying.”
Does Your Mother Know That You're Out?:
“You’re doing great progress on those weights, honestly! If I didn’t know you just started lifting a couple of months ago, I’d think you’d have been at it for years!”
Melting Inside Loving Fires:
“Mom! Did you find them?”
Buried in the middle of her once nicely folded laundry, Lexa sighs once the yell reaches her from the next room over. She throws another basket on top of her bed, cringing at the thought of having to fold it all again later but when she stares at her side table alarm and sees the clock ticking, warning her of seven-forty rapidly approaching, she cannot be bothered to be careful with it anymore.
Lazy Kiss: Bed on a saturday late morning is what Clarke would classify as heaven on earth. The freshly washed cotton sheets, the laziness of the warm midday sun entering through the curtains, the smell of lavender on her pillow that can be traced to the naked body draped over her sleeping arm, light snores her wife insists she is incapable of producing. Heaven. Home.
Amor Mortis: Darkness engulfs her. It seems to pay no mind to the open window lining the whole of her wall of her bedroom, ignoring so completely the drawn curtains where moonlight should pass through and illuminate her entire being, instead making itself scarce.
To Birth a Queendom: Destiny is a complex thing. There is much intricacy to it; it is not linear nor is it permanent. It can be changed, molded, severed without mercy, abruptly replaced with another and one must simply adapt when it does, quickly, must it not leave one without destiny at all.
The Act of Falling in Love: They are betrothed to one another at age fifteen. Neither laments it.
Morning Workout:
“Enjoying the show?”
She is. Undeniably so.
Pumpkin Spice Craving: It’s late at night. Or early in the morning if Lexa felt like pretending she’s awake early instead of late. It’s dreadfully cold outside, autumn settling in harsher this year, windy grey mornings with rainy and freezing afternoons that extend through the night, the work around their tiny farm rushed in the early hours of the day so they can enjoy a cozy afternoon inside by the fire. Lexa enjoys it, a step up from the scalding hot summer that had just passed and that left her uncomfortable and sweaty every second of the day.
Strike at Witching Hour: There’s something here. Something evil.
Tagging: @heda-in-the-clouds @lg-wifey4lifey @vmplvr1977 @blu3haw4 :)

🔪?
combining this with @siriaeve's ask, since you both requested the same thing: 🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
perfectly normal things to need to know for a writing project:
what was on view at the centre pompidou in december 2014
which is the least shit of all the shit hotels in the town of guer, in brittany
how to play the game xiangqi and also the cantonese terms for the pieces, board, and moves
minute by minute detail of the reagan assassination attempt, and the subsequent trial of john hinckley jr
i'll leave you both with a story.
i used to work in a garage in my hometown, and the shop manager was an excellent guy by the name of Bruce. i had a fic going that required a character to be stuck without his car in a small town for a while so i said to Bruce, hey, hypothetical. what's a thing that can happen to an engine that's still fixable but would really inconvenience somebody?
Bruce leaned over the shop counter and said, hypothetically, for a hundred bucks, just tell me where to find it and when, and i'll take care of everything.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, 117 (Feb. 22, 1988) - “Home Soil”
Teleplay by: Robert Sabaroff Story by: Karl Guers, Ralph Sanchez & Robert Sabaroff Directed by: Corey Allen
The Breakdown
The Federation has asked Picard to check in on a terraforming outpost, since the team that was stationed there has gone radio silent. With the Enterprise’s arrival at the outpost, the project director (Kurt Mandl) reluctantly picks up to explain that nothing suspicious is going on, and that Picard is welcome to politely fuck off (I’m paraphrasing, but that’s the gist). Counsellor Troi confirms that Mandl is indeed as shifty as his unmistakably shifty behaviour would suggest; so, Picard sends Riker down to check it out. While there, Riker and his team are introduced to the other Terraformers (Arthur, Bjorn, and Luisa), who kindly provide the audience/away team with a useful exposition dump about how the terraforming process works. They impress upon Riker and co. that every planet designated for terraforming undergoes rigorous vetting to first determine that there are NO LIFEFORMS WHATSOEVER, before they begin the decades long process. Geordi starts to nerd out with Arthur about some of the unique challenges this planet has presented, but Mandl sends Arthur away to ‘go work on the drilling lasers’, because they have a tight schedule to keep. Predictably, the drilling lasers go bonkers and kill Arthur, so now we have a mystery on our hands.
Since it does KIND OF seem like Mandl had his guy killed in a cover up attempt, Picard brings the terraforming team to stay on the Enterprise while his people try to find out what caused the malfunction. During that time, Data has his own run-in with the killer-laser (which he destroys) and is able to determine that something was indeed controlling it, but it wasn’t Mandl. Further inspection of the drilled bedrock leads Geordi and Data to discover some glowing matter that exhibits strange properties, so they have it beamed up to Crusher’s lab. There, it’s determined that they’ve discovered the first known non-carbon life form, and that it’s not only attempting to communicate, but also capable of reproducing. What initially looks like a Christmas light on a petri dish, begins to grow until it eventually forms into an exotic looking plastic crystal, roughly the size of a baseball. While this is all initially very exciting for the Enterprise crew, things get a bit more concerning when the non carbon lifeform reveals that it plans to wage war on the gross ‘water bags’ that attacked it (aka humans). To make matters even more dire, the life form starts taking over the ship’s computer functions, as it grows exponentially more powerful.
So what’s going on? Well, it turns out that the terraformers did indeed notice some exotic energy deposits on their planet, but they didn’t think much of it at the time. Little did they know that their terraforming was endangering the saline water deposits beneath the planet’s crust, which apparently serve as a sort of networking system for the micro crystalline life forms living there. So why was Mandl’s team behaving so secretively? Because they’re workaholics and they don’t like distractions, and that’s… apparently the actual reason for their behaviour. With that out of the way, team-Enterprise figures out they can stop ol’ Crystal (I’m calling it crystal now) by dimming the lights, which were evidently the source of it’s power. Crystal agrees to a peaceful surrender, on the condition that no more Water-Bags return for at least 300 years (which is fair enough), and Riker has it beamed back to the planet. Mandl won’t be able to finish his project, but at least it’s led to an exciting new discovery, and all it cost was Arthur’s life. WORTH IT.
The Verdict.
Considering how many aliens look like humans with forehead prosthetics (Yes, I realize there’s an episode that addresses this), it’s kind of refreshing to see a Starfleet crew discover non-carbon life that isn’t just an abandoned supercomputer, or some other kind of artificial intelligence. Realistically, if humans ever did discover extra-terrestrial life, it seems reasonable to expect that it would be almost wholly unrecognizable to us. To that end, I found myself enjoying the story when it focussed on the mystery of a truly ‘new life’, something alien in every sense of the word.
Where the episode loses me is in the red herring that kicks off the episode, which suggests that Mandl’s team are up to no good. We spend much of first couple acts as Picard and Mandl play cat and mouse with the truth, but the answers we’re given don’t really justify the investment we put into them. Mandl WAS acting very suspicious, and Deanna supposedly could sense he was hiding something, so what exactly was he trying to hide? He didn’t murder Arthur, and apparently neither he nor his team were aware that they were harming an unidentified species. Mandl doesn’t even really give any kind of satisfactory explanation for his lack of decorum when Picard first arrived, leaving us to chalk it up to professional tunnel-vision. So, I guess he was trying to cover up… scheduling delays? I don’t buy it. I love a good red herring as much as the next guy (and trust me, the next guy won’t fucking shut up about them), but a red herring still needs an explanation that holds up to scrutiny.
It would have been a stronger choice to have Mandl (or one of his team) acting with malicious intent, leaving a conflict that would be a little more complicated, and more interesting, to resolve. Star Trek doesn’t always need to be a morality play, but that is the foundation upon which the franchise was built, and there was a decent opportunity to weigh the balance of scientific ambition with ethical restraint. As it stands, ‘Home Soil’ narratively amounts to little more than “Woops. Our bad. Sorry about that.” Perhaps that doesn’t classify the episode as an outright failure, but at it’s best this was a missed opportunity.
2.5 stars (out of 5)
Additional Ovservations
The electronic voice given to the NCL (aka “Crystal”) sounds kind of like a slightly less annoying Dalek. Couldn’t the computer have provided it/them with something that sounds a little more dignified?
Troi-spiracy: I think it would be so funny if it turned out that Deanna Troi was just lying about her empathic abilities. I’m just imagining that she never actually inherited any of her mum’s telepathy, but always felt too awkward to admit it (Lwaxana is kind of the worst, and you know she would never let it go), so whenever someone acts obviously sketchy she’s like “Yeah, I can totally sense they’re hiding something with my abilities that I absolutely have.” Maybe Mandl wasn’t acting sus after all. Maybe he’s just a tense fella, and Picard caught him at a bad time, but then he SEEMED off, so Deanna had to pretend that she sensed something. Lucky it all worked out. This time.
Bad Counselling: Riker asks Deanna for the terraform team’s psychological profile. Troi offers that Luisa is basically talented and imaginative, but otherwise an intellectual scatterbrain, and indicates that Riker’s charms might work on her (to get information), presumably because Riker is irresistible to a grieving airhead woman. Yikes.
Riker enters a darkened lab, and approaches the Crystal in a way that I found hilariously, unintentionally, sultry. But you just know Riker would if he’d had more time.

Foreword of the Fittes Manuals fifth edition
in the many years since my mother invented the modern science of psychical investigation, the techniques she pioneered have become the bedrock of Agency work across our belea guered nation. We live by her insights; her rules have become second nature to us, And this bock that you hold in your Hand is the heart of her legacy.
It is hard to remember now, in a world with so many excellent agencies, with so many dedicated, talented individuals working night and day to defeat the Problem, that when Marissa started out, the rules for tackling Visitors were Nothing but bearsay and folklore. Yes, iron and salt and silver were said to be useful against evil spirits, but who before my mother had attempted to develop these clues, into a coherent system to tackle the superatural! Nobody had tried, and it was fortunate that, as the Problem began to stir, Marissa and her friend Tom Rotwell were on band to risk their lives and experiment with defences of various kinds; If the investiveness they displayed in those early years is common knowledge, perhaps their sheer plack is sometimes forgotten. During many of their early cases - the Highgate Terror and the Mud Lane Phantom are two famos examples - they were still improvising with their weapoos, using little more than garden tools and farmyard implements to keep the ghouls at bay. Incredible to think of, Yet the torch and rapier you have at your belt are the direct descendants of the rake and lantern with which the young marissa went first into battle.
The first edition of The Fittes Manual for Ghost-hunters was my mother attempt to coalesce all the discoveries she had made into an accessible format for others who might wish to follow her. For this Fifth Edition I have updated it in places, including a revised taxonomy of ghosts to take into account recent discoveries. But it is still Marissas' book,. It is her gift across time, her gift in defiance of the forces of darkness that swirl around us all. My mother has been gone these many years - but her words remain, To those happy few who have the courage and talent and willpower to strap on a blade and venture out into the night, she speaks calmly to us still

Claude Mann and Jeanne Moreau in Bay of Angels (Jacques Demy, 1963)
Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Claude Mann, Paul Guers, Henri Nassiet, Conchita Parodi. Screenplay: Jacques Demy. Cinematography: Jean Rabier. Music: Michel Legrand.
A platinum blond Jeanne Moreau, dressed in white, evokes Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice (Tay Garnett, 1946), though Moreau's Jackie Demaistre is not so lethal as Turner's Cora Smith. Jackie is modeling herself on both Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, but without Monroe's fragility or the American Jackie's poise. In short, the Jackie Demaistre crafted by Moreau and Jacques Demy is her own woman, and one of film's most memorable. She is a compulsive gambler, whose habit has estranged her from her husband and her small son, but she carries on nevertheless, winning big and losing big, yet somehow surviving even when she bets away her train ticket home -- or more likely, to the next casino. Into her circuit wanders a young bank clerk on his vacation, Jean Fournier (Claude Mann), who has been introduced to the gambling life by a co-worker. Jean thinks gambling is immoral, yet once he gets a taste for it, and more to the point, once he meets Jackie, he flings himself headlong into the life. Unfortunately, although Mann, making his film debut, has a handsome presence, he's unable to make the character into a coherent figure. Sometimes broody, sometimes violent, sometimes philosophical, sometimes just a callow young man with no aim in life, Jean is mostly obsessed with Jackie, who is obsessed with gambling. She returns his affection in her way, which means that he'd better not stand between her and the roulette wheel. She takes up with him because she thinks he brings her luck, and their relationship frays when he doesn't. If Moreau had had someone more compelling than Mann to play against -- one of the hyphenated Jeans, Belmondo or Trintignant, for example -- Bay of Angels might have blown me away. As it is, it's just one of those quintessential French films of the 1960s -- a bit wispy as it comes to plot but full of atmosphere, much of it provided by the casinos of the Riviera and Michel Legrand's score. It has many enthusiastic admirers, but I have a feeling most of the enthusiasm was generated by Moreau, who could always blind one to the defects of her movies.

well, guers
well, guess who decided to show up after saying ‚this is going to be smth like my diary‘
but to be fair, not a lot has happened since then, ive been going to work like a slave, like 3-4 times a week.
nothing happened with b since i found out, that he was only trying to get A in bed, yet they still hang out a lot.
i started going to the gym, ive been going for like a month now, ofc we took a lot of breaks but that doesnt change the fact that ive lost abt 10ish kg.
i started watching twitch again, since uni hasnt started yet and im bored out of my mind doing nothing all day long.
the people are nice, the streamer is someone who ive been watching on youtube and tiktok for a while.
i didnt know, that his streams were that good, and that the people in his stream are that nice,
yet i do feel kind of odd when joining the vc on discord.
i joined after being scared for like 2ish hours not knowing if i should join or not.
after i mustered the courage to actually join, they left after like 10ish minutes, maybe less since theyve gotten tired and 2 of the people, including the streamer actually being asleep in the vc.
i do like the vibes, theyve given me courage to talk to my colleague, because she yelled at me for no reason.
at least thats what i still think, even after we‘ve talked about it.
she admitted, that she was wrong to yell at me, eventhough ive done nothing so far, the only thing i did was complain about me having to go to register 1, after telling her in how much pain i get from being there and actually having painful headaches.
glad we could talk about it like adults, but i still feel very odd about this happening and her lowkey apologizing but also trying to argue, as to why she was yelling at me in the first place. whatever.
let bygones be bygones.
i have nothing else to write tbh i dont know what i should talk about,
nevertheless, im glad, that i could get it out.

The Zombie Axeman | Fight Scene | Resident Evil: Afterlife | CLIP
youtube
There's a few things to note about this. It looks like he is tortured person with the sack on his face when people think that he's healing from injuries he got as the juggernaut and his head is sealed off and that the spice are where the holes were was that they serve some sort of medical purpose and we do think that they are correct. And the other thing he is very nasty and just going to try to keep going until you're out even if she's down and he could have left and we'll see people just leave him alone but in this case you said to get up it was one last two many times and it's the last thing he'll ever do and boy are you a nuisance you're a damn noises I'm just stupid s***and you people are spent it just mean assholes I mean this guy is pursuing that crew all over the place and never does much and gets caught all the time just keeps trying to stupid s*** and just leave him alone if you didn't and it doesn't want to always ask one too many times your actions are stupid and you repeat it and this is proof that you should just stay down but you don't.
And you're not really rebels because you're this middle man figure tries to mess up both sides and we want you out of there and you you don't listen to that and we have to get you out of social security and several other places I'm sure before you have to move some idiotic and our son and daughter didn't you get social security as a position from leaving and coming back or for real this is a problem and there are several solutions that are now presenting themselves
1. as head of social security is going to be sitting there threatening our son and a lot of other people and they said it's about time we know and he's going to get beaten up real bad in DC is one
2. Is a decent size person no is a little person is damned annoying and people recognize him from the past and their identifying his son they figured out the roles and characters she's playing are all very evil and they want them gone and the side foundation Simon's wisenthal we asked for him recently and they do have his identification and they have dans. Who was, heir guerring. And it off Adolf was Trump and his brother was it's like Rudolph hess and yeah that's the oil company and it's very evil and people want them to hell out
2. Several other characters that they are will get them killed and he they were in the past like palpat that was the Yankee foust and other dictators and people can figure it out this is Stalin was a shared role and it wasn't really people think it was Billy z and it wasn't really easy it was an idiot the Yankee foust and he's most often Trump these days he's trying to say it was her son's clans and daughter and he kept on saying it and people looked into it and started killing off his people now they're not so big and people want to come in and savor it The Purge in world war II are very hard on people relatives were haul away at night secret police were around all day these guys used to be bad news no matter what nowadays people are going after them and they see this and then go after them a lot more
3. We have a few things for these two nitwits here. We told you to move out of the apartments because you don't have legal agreements and you won't so do you keep getting rid of your armies and your robots and your computers and anything that you have a line on until you're out. And you don't seem to understand what we're saying what we're saying and no uncertain terms are you going to have any power by the time you're done trying to harass our son to death You're such pieces of s*** John remarried rolled hus bike by and was saying he's trying to kidnap our son and her son says you're kidding what happened to the ship above, I mean this stupid people. We're gonna get them now
4. Everyone was tired of looking at your dumb faces you do not have power like you used to and they're reminding you and you're going around threatening everybody.
5. You're a criminals and their arrest warrants on you you're trying to save for you or not a criminal and no One believes it and about to be arrested today I've been trying to get down to arrest you and several reasons why you're going to leave
6. You don't have stamina for it and you fall apart everyday in public just seen weeping and crying and laying in the ground shouting out for mercy. What is we saw people trying to run you over no they do it every time people want you guys stand you're making it easy with this routine here they have this constant excuse
7. If you want things don't make sure you move out you don't have a chance to kidnapping him you're on a spotlight and say everyday nobody is paying attention really of everyone
8. you're a big old jerks now your old piece of s*** very ornery and mean and don't have control over yourselves and it shows. Yesterday lost September 5 times den aka Dave and ruined you.
9. You go to court on many things coming up a lot of people are bringing lawsuits now since you're down and it said do it yourself if this is AI that you don't control absolutely and we see why people are doing to you
10. You shoot your mouth off all the time all three of you with big huge stupid s*** talk and people are coming for you night and day now and they can hear all your little s**** talking and the retards too mostly killed yourself during than world war II you are getting rid of yourself it's like now what you're doing
Takes well if you got to understand something even if you have any people do stuff
11. We have your roped in. No but pretty soon we will and it's a really big reasons and we're going to post them here last night in the Western hemisphere you are attacked for your Cash's and stashes. People said that they had a check ready and cut for our son and they only have a few of you and they got inundated with idiots just say freed out it was fake and was the end of the day to start getting angry about it they said we're doing this fake s*** and we're taking hits and we're both losing and people are probably taking the middle and they found out it's true so they started to grab your higher ups and it was a pseudo empire for information and then find out that your higher up so hard to get out and it's only a few things since they're going after so without further ado they plan to draw them out using the real thing one of the things that they want to use is pull you out of the hospitals they said that's for us any shy away from helping our son it's too big of a job I think that's true
12. You're beating up for another 10 cents yeah and now it's about 45% in the Western hemisphere that your cash is and stashes are emptied too that attracts more
13. People need the information and they're going to get it from you here and who has your higher ups or in Charlotte county no need to draw them anywhere. I just have to drive them out of Charlotte county
14. There's a couple other reasons mainly your own family is trying to get you both out and the landlord just trying to get you out and the pseudo empire this is taking over Florida and you want to have revenge on him later if you get him to move cuz you're that powerful I mean talk about stupid we can't stand you but it is helping us and we're getting ready for a much bigger show pretty soon we'll be built up for it
15. Their forces are cut into a third of what they used to be last year and that's pretty bad you're not doing very well we're also going to pull wars about today all over the world and there's a general attrition of your trumpster Force and warlock in general the swing back up to 0.07% an hour so every 2 hours is almost .15% every 8 hours is 1% and that's very high and that's all morlok. Massive reduction in your forces they target you mostly about 65% of the time and your force is small and dwindling and yes it was 10% and this morning it's quickly heading towards 9.5% and most of your forces are in that
16. People finally have a reason to evict you and he be away from our son find out what the dynamic was and is and they are trying to stop you and we're doing is stupid for you and there's a lot of people who figured it out and more will today and they're going to come for you until you're dead
There's many more reasons we can go on forever there are people who are aligned that against you there's groups that are fortified against you that's people that wanted hit yours on purpose every day. A lot of revenge for what you've done to them and their cities and places of living and they don't want to see you doing anything to our son not to mention what you're doing and they hit you, it's either you're probably produces an embarrassment globally and you're poor Street person for real this is going to end soon with you two leaving permanently and we're going to help make it happen
Thor Freya
Olympus
I can't wait I'm calling the days counting the days and we're assisting is such a pain this guy is such a huge f****

Shuyan Saga Review (PlayStation 5)
For this Shuyan Saga Review, we play a graphic novel series where action scenes come alive in 3D combat gameplay. Set in an ancient Chinese martial arts fantasy universe, you embark on a life-changing journey as Shuyan. Shuyan is a princess of the Chinese imperial family who loses everything to the Guer invasion. To save her people, she must become a powerful Kung Fu warrior, yet only a pure heart can bring miracles into the human realm. What will it take? And who is the real enemy? Success is not what Shuyan perceived it to be. The story revolves around the Five Kingdoms, all built on the foundations of Kung Fu. Every kingdom has unique values and cultures, which have originated from the nation’s Kung Fu system.
Shuyan Saga Review Pros:
- Beautiful graphics. - 3.21GB download size. - Platinum trophy. - English and Chinese voice choice. - Visual novel combat gameplay. - Three modes - episodes, adventure, and tournament. - Jaw-dropping visuals both in the art and the graphic style. - Three books to play - Rise of the Red Dragon, Journey of the Phoenix, and Path of the Warrior. - Three difficulties - Easy, normal, and master. - The visual book part is art with full sound effects and narration. - You can fast forward the visual novel parts. - Multiple choice encounters and questions constantly through the visual novel part. - Handy restart chapter menu option. - Tutorial pop-ups as you play the fighting parts of the game. - The kung fu combat parts are mixed between isometric views and up close almost side in fighting. - Tournament mode is a battle through the characters like you see in a Mortal Kombat game. - You Learn new attacks and combos as you progress. - When in close-up one-on-one fighting you need to time attacks and dodge, learn patterns, and counter. - Build up your QI as you fight to activate and do high damage for a short time. - An excellent blend of combat and visual novel. - Earn EXP and level up to get new upgrades which equates to new attacks. - Combo counter. - As you are doing a combo the button icons pop up to help you finish the combo. - Stealth attacks a QTE with the left stick. - Multiple endings for each book. - Book two gives you a more 3D brawler experience where you can move around more and break the environment etc. - The voice acting is brilliant. - You heal between fights. - Masterclass in how to cut and merge scenes together. - The fighting gets deeper as you level up and play the story, you start focusing on Gong which is a technique where you turn your opponent's energy/attack back onto them. - As you learn techniques and attacks you use the d pad and perform more QTE. - Nice looking locations. - Big boss battles. - By book three you are doing different brawler genres and the combat gets a lot better. - You can throw enemies into the environment and cause huge damage and beak down pillars. - Easy trophy list. - You can replay stories. - The adventure mode is you playing as Jade and taking on puzzles and fights to clear the temple.
Shuyan Saga Review Cons: - The combat is not as fluid as it should be, you don't have fast free movement, and it's very clunky and robotic in the first book. - It's very easy to accidentally push a choice or forget to pick a choice in time. - So much to take in. - Enemies will just stand still waiting to be triggered and it breaks the immersion. - When fighting up close it's not as smooth to dodge/greet and counter. - The difficulty spikes quite a bit through the game. - Hot detection can be off at times. - Fighting more than one person is always a bit of a clunk-funk mash-up. - Had to restart fights a few times as I either got stuck in an animation or the game didn't register something like the fight ending. - Aiming where you throw an enemy is not as fluid. - The final fight is a bit underwhelming and doesn't have voice work which would have elevated it. - Cannot skip the end credits and it even hangs a few times. - Whenever the game takes something out of combat it gets messy and breaks the game flow. Even just moving pillars is a huge issue. Related Post: Wartales Review (Nintendo Switch OLED)

Okay, this is gonna be my own "Humans are Space Orcs" story, so here you go.
Art used is by Andrius Matijoius. I just really like it, so cool.
The Unbroken Ones
Year 18,025-October 5
Outside the Death Zone on the T.A. Sullivan.
From when I was a small Tezzetan, I've found this strange world fascinating. For thousands of years, this planet has had conquerer after conquerer come to take it. But none could break them. The Warriors of Earth.
A sad fact to say is my galaxy was not a safe place. A new would-be galactic conquerer rose to power at most 2 centuries after the last one. Even a deranged president of the Rengalde Federation tried to change it to a Dictatorship and lead it to it's demise.
Nearly 16,000 years ago, the first of these galactic conquerors was a Yotarian known as Derek, the Slayer, launched a campaign from his empire in the southern sector of the Scion Galaxy and attempted to take over the whole thing.
He almost did.
Within 12 years, he had hit thousands of worlds and pushed the Rengalde alliance back to the Death zone. But there they had put up a stern resistance. His progress slowed down. His empire would win within 25 years, but he was impatient. It cost him everything.
He ordered his men to find a way through the Death zone from the other side.
What is the Death zone? A strange phenomenon of the galaxy. A gigantic magnetic wall that reaches from the center of the galaxy to outside it. Only a few light-years thick, it's incredibly tall. You'd be lost to deep space before you could go around it. If any ship attempted to even cross it, the force would rip your ship, your clothes, even the metals in your blood to shreds. Nothing makes it past.
But his men found it. The single way through. A singular path that was neutralized by an opposing magnetic field within. Something that would change our history from then on.
He left a portion of his forces to siege the alliance while he leads his main fleet to hit them from the rear. The trip through the Dead zone leads him to a solar system.
Here he has to hop out of FTL, lest his ships crash into the asteroid belt or get pulled off course by the sun's gravity and fall out of the path. He sees no development. No ships. No space stations. A few quick scans, he finds out this solar system is without element 520, a unique occurrence. It's the most potent element in the galaxy, allowing FTL travel to be possible.
But he does see something else useful. Humans. They could be useful slaves.
He sends several of his ships to take the planet while he plans his attack on the alliance.
But something was wrong. It had already been a week, and his commanders hadn't taken the planet.
Then the ships he sent came back into space. He was relieved, for a moment. His ships, filled with human soldiers, launched boarding parties to a large amount of his ships. He was surprised that the humans had taken his ships so quickly, and was too late to stop it.
His warriors, mighty beings trained for combat and discipline, fell to the ferocity of the Earth soldiers. They fought tooth and nail through the halls of his ships. Ballistic weaponry that none had seen in their lifetime. Swords that cut through his men like butter. Derek's own death was brought by the big end of a sledgehammer.
It wasn't even the end of it. The humans, from their primitive world and substandard technology, knew exactly where to sabotage his ships systems. They already found out about everything of how his ship worked from a look around the few they captured. Apparently, they had theorized how to build starships and what was needed to run them for years.
They destroyed half of his fleet within hours of their counter attack. They swept through the rest within a few days.
The survivors, however, landed on the Earth, the ones who survived reentry that is. They wanted to try and destroy the humans for revenge. For 20 years, the Earth fought back against an enemy nearly 30,000,000 in number. Trench warfare, naval warfare, guerilla warfare, urban warfare, even tunnel warfare. Everywhere there was fighting. The humans, finally on the attack of the Gobi Desert fortress, eventually eradicated them all.
But they hadn't found the element 520, as Derek's supply of it was destroyed in the engines of the ships destroyed 20 years prior.
Earth counties formed a stronger bond together after this war, and swore to fight together against new threats after that.
The alliance, unknowingly saved by the Earth, defeated the remainder of Derek's forces. Everyone suspected Derek perished in the Death Zone. Everything was fine for a while.
Then the second galactic conquerer rose 200 years after that. Hadvar, the Desolate. He created a civil war that spanned the galaxy. His fleet burned worlds he chose unworthy of his future. But one thing stood in his way. He wanted to hit the stronghold that was the capital of the Rengalde Galactic Federation, built where the alliance had made their last stand and won. But the defensive line between him and the capital was too thick.
Hadvar took his fleet and headed through Deaths passage, with the help of an old map from the data drives of his days as a young lieutenant, found rifling through Derek's old headquarters. With this, he would flank the Federation.
What he found was not what he expected. He had found a fleet smaller in size to his own, sitting here in the Death Zone. Who were they?
The humans had forged the ships from the scrap that used to be Derek's fleet.
They would not be unprepared for the next would-be invader.
But Hadvar was not The Desolate for nothing. His crusiers attacked, destroying several of the Human ships. The humans "Retreated", leading the enemy to Luna, hoping that his lack of scouting could be used to their advantage.
Hadvar didn't think a civilization this primitive to colonize and arm a moon with no air.
Little did he know, he was within range of their anti-ship guns all over Luna. His ships crash landed onto the moon. Hadvar perished in the crash.
His void-breathing soldiers that survived ran out to kill the human dome cities. The Lunar Division met them in battle on the surface of Luna.
Several weeks of fighting in the craters and in the low gravity skies of Luna, protecting the cities at any cost. Old battle reports says something along the lines of humans flying all over the moon, in vehicles and not. The enemy, outnumbered without supplies, failing to break the human lines, perished. Soon, it was over.
This second attack, while weaker than the first, proved that more invaders would come for the humans.
Once again, the element 520 stores had been destroyed in the wrecks, leaving the humans without FTL travel.
A ship that had escaped from the Humans surrendered to the Federation, reporting that Hadvar had perished at the hands of Earth within the Death zone.
Intrigued, but unwilling to bother the humans again, they left them to their devices. They also implemented a new law. No giving the humans element 520.
300 years later, a new galactic conquerer threw his hat into the ring. No one remembers his name, but he learned of the failures of Derek and Hadvar. After taking a quarter of the galaxy, he didn't send his forces to the rest of the galaxy. He would take Earth first, and possibly use the terrifying species for his own purposes. He traveled down the Deaths passage and found himself at the Sol System.
His fleet, 6 times the size of the humans, attacked. Although they had increased their size since Hadvar's attack, the humans still didn't stand a chance. Half the human fleet perished, the other half fled to hide inside Neptune.
He launched ground assaults that lasted for 8 years. Incredibly, he brought enough soldiers to outnumber the humans 2 to 1. Hordes of soldiers tried to overrun the homeworld of Earth, the colonies of Luna, Mars, and super structure Jupiter Station. The humans, outnumbered and outgunned, threw everything they had at fighting the horde.
Cities on Earth, Luna, and Mars were decimated. Landscapes destroyed. But they remained unbroken. Outnumbered 2 to 1, the humans outmatched them 10 to 1. Ambushes, bombardments, cavalry charges, tank battles, even straight up 1 squad going into a trench band slaying a battalion.
Even though the odds were against Jupiter Station when it was torn in half, the invaders trying to suck out the humans. They stood their ground, what was left of it that is. The station, while in pieces, still fought the good fight, firing their cannon shells and missile silos at the enemy.
And eventually, after the forgotten conquerer was assassinated by a human princess who faked capture so she could slit his throat herself, the Earth triumphed against their foe and destroyed the enemy forces.
After this, I believe the humans took a new philosophy in military doctrine, and formed the Terran Empire.
When the next conquerer came for Earth, he didn't even make it past newly made fortress world Pluto. Then the next, and the next, and the one after that.
As the conquerors rose, the Scion Galaxy quaked.
They would tear apart the Scion Galaxy, claiming it for themselves. But they all had trouble taking everything. They couldn't surround their enemies without going through Deaths passage.
It became like a trial of sorts. You can't rule the galaxy without taking the Earth. They all tried. They all failed.
The Humans were clever. They outmaneuvered everything that was thrown at them. The outsmarted every opponent. Their strategies were endless.
They were tough. They fought with a ferocity that made a battle that was 5 to 1 seem like a fair fight to them. And that was just space battles.
On the ground, these creatures were terrifying.
The bravest of invaders ran at the sight of a duel sword wielding human that was on fire, but tearing through his enemies.
The holo-vids of a human with only a small shovel and him clearing out an entire trench with it sent chills down my spine.
Another holo-vid showed a firing line of invaders getting attacked by an advancing shield line of melee fighters. The end was not good for the invaders. A saying of "Don't bring a gun to a sword fight" comes to mind.
Another vid showed a human ripping off a machine gun from a fallen vehicle and firing it into a Foroxian Titan (and killing it) made me wonder how strong they truly were.
The one I remember most was the Charge of Colonel Abdul. Facing 100 hover tanks, his platoon charges them on horseback with nothing but swords, blow torches, and dynamite. And won.
Humans weren't afraid. Not of them. Few believe even Death, something that lives over the shoulder of every human, is not feared by them. Some records of recovered Earth books even talk about Death as if it is a good thing, it teaches them to make their life count. And count they make it.
When Yogon, the Destroyer, rose to power in 12,087, he was the most powerful being in the galaxy. He changed the game. He had the psychic power to manipulate asteroids, and the terrifying power to tear apart the magnetic field of a small planet to turn it into asteroids.
His ships were unbeatable in ship to ship combat, his psychic powers protected them from enemy weapons as long they were close to him. But not even he could stop the firepower of planet to ship guns. But there was no need to worry about that when there is no planet.
Many solar systems bowed to him before he even used his power. He could have taken the whole galaxy without a fight.
But a resistance that hid across the galaxy held out hope that he would fall, as he has not defeated the Terran Empire.
That's when he came for the Earth, to crush hope. He took no time destroying Pluto and used it as cover for his advance onto Earth, to crash the pieces to it's surface and rid the universe of it once and for all.
But the Pluto Brigade had other ideas. After suffering 25% losses after the planet was torn apart, they did not abandon their duty. They turned their anti-ship artillery onto Yogon's fleet. Yogon was terrified. In the storm of debris and destruction, the humans still fought on. Even Pluto's defense fleet was firing from inside the asteroid field.
It's said that Yogon tried to send his ships in to destroy the humans, but apparently forgot his fleet tended to sit behind his storm, not in it. His ships were torn apart. Then a blast from a planetary cannon pierced his shields and ended Yogon's reign of terror.
The Pluto Brigade suffered 75% casualties by the time they evacuated. Spy drones for the Federation have seen a massive monument for Pluto's Brigade of hero's in Sydney.
I've heard reports that the humans managed to put Pluto back together after a thousand years. In proper orbit too. How they saved the pieces from falling into the sun is anybody's guess.
Eventually, even more galactic conquerers came forth. A few tried to ignore Earth, but couldn't for long. That choke point was far too valuable on a grand scale. But they failed again. The indomitable Terran Empire was far too experienced at this point.
The galaxy itself was grateful. The Earth fought so much, and without knowing it, was constantly saving us all from tyranny. We renamed the Scion Galaxy to the Milky way Galaxy, as the humans called it. We changed our months names to the humans calendar names.
Heck, my own name is Chuck Norris, named after a human legend of a man who invented a quarter of all human martial arts, along with Bruce Lee, Kakashi Hatake, and Rocky Balboa. (Although historians tend to say that these facts may be exaggerated).
I'm very proud of my name. Chuck Norris performed acts of amazement even by human standards. It's said he defended an entire country against Derek's forces all by himself in the first war of Earth.
But sometimes I think to myself, why?
No one. Not a single soul thought of a simple solution to crossing Deaths passage.
Perhaps you could just ask?
Everyone has tried to take or destroy the Terran Empire. No one has ever tried to just talk to them. Ask them to just open up a trade route through Deaths passage. It's so simple. But after 16,000 years of constant reports of warfare from the Earth, everyone thinks they are just dangerous.
That's what I hope to change.
3000 years ago, The Royal Families of the Folger Triumvirate were smuggled onto Earth by a Human Admiral that was open to talking to aliens. But their enemies were close behind. For 5 years, they waged their war. Afraid of the stories of their ground combat prowess, they launched an air war. Trying to find the Royals, they started bombing everything in sight. Human pilots took to the skies and fought them at every turn. The invaders tried, but failed, and were slain instead.
As the Royals left, the Admiral told them that it appears they still aren't ready for peace. He hands them a medal. A small metal emblem with a "Dove" carrying an "Olive Branch", as the humans call these things. It represented a symbol of peace, known throughout the Terran Empire. If the galaxy was ever ready for peace, we were to present this to them.
I hold that very medal around my neck, upon this ship, unarmed and a white flag sitting on top of our spacecraft. I hope to bring our peace treaty before the humans, and tell them they no longer need to fear the galaxy, as after all these years, there hasn't been a galactic conquerer in over 500 years. We all realized the futility in trying to do so.
The Citadel Federation formed 400 years ago, and wish to use Sol's path (The new name we gave it) as a route for trade and transportation.
But to be honest, I'm quite scared. The Humans have never had an official proper talk with an alien envoy before. Their people have been reported by our spies to be completely battle ready. Every man, woman, and child is trained for war. There is not a citizen without at least a melee weapon and a rifle, with extensive knowledge to use them. They don't wear clothes. They wear armor, battle uniforms, and helmets.
Their cities are surrounded by giant dome shields, miles and miles of trenches, motes, and fortress walls line the landscape of every planet in the Terran Empire.
They are weary of anything not human. Billions have died at the hands of their alien enemies. But for every one taken, they paid it back tenfold.
But hopefully, with the introduction of this here barrel of element 520, I can convince them that we have finally changed and are ready to accept our heros with open arms.

au; dragonheart
In this AU, the Heavens’ Ward were somehow -- possibly through the intervention of the Warrior of Light -- able to learn the truth of the Dragonsong War before they were tempered by Thordan.
Guerrique...did not take it well. With his hatred of betrayal coupled with the reality that their entire lives and every death (including that of his beloved Cirianne) was because their ancestors murdered someone’s sister...he had to be forcibly restrained and knocked unconscious to keep him from going after the Archbishop on the spot.
When he woke, he pretended to have calmed down, but -- without the Ward knowing, he slipped from the barracks in disguise. He went down to the Brume, and coin changed hands with unsavory characters...
And then, during that fateful meeting, when Thordan bade his knights kneel...Guerrique did not. Guerrique, driven by grief and fury and a desire for vengeance he knew now full well mirrored that of the wyrm that so hounded their city, pulled from his armor a vial of dragon’s blood, and drank it down in one swallow.
Thus was the knight transformed into a wyvern -- a double of the one that had slaughtered his men and his lover -- and it was through that distraction and the chaos it caused that half the Ward were spared from tempering.
Injured in the fight that followed, Guerrique was imprisoned by the tempered Ward members, only to be freed by his unharmed comrades and the Scions during their rescue of Aymeric from the Vault. After that, the WArd members who had escaped the fate of their brothers accompanied him by Alphinaud’s suggestion to Anyx Trine, where Guerrique would recover in both mind and body.
He does not know if he will ever be the man he was -- perhaps never, perhaps for the rest of his days he will be clad in scales, perhaps slowly he’ll forget the knight he once was -- but he has to learn anew how to live. He is a dragon now, and struggles to keep his humanity -- but he doesn’t regret the choice he made, especially because it saved at least some of his comrades.
