Tarian Fireflower….

After meeting Skye and us having our “introduction” I found myself looking at things differently, the war, my family, things that happened and I suddenly had some fame in the Skywood court as a Water mage and helping her with the island she raised.

People and my family didn’t know that I could talk to “Big Blue” and that’s likely good.

But it gave me leeway to excuse myself away on an Elemental learning experience pilgrimage. With some d-bags I was given and I get clothes, books I’ve intended to read, finish and my writing projects as well and money, my coin, gems, jewellery, and craftmade things I own that will fit and are nice and Sylvan artistry. It’ll sell in Asguard especially in the Merc Markets.

I even take my personal airboat.. And it’s a boat like a yacht but more fishing, trading, trading small loads of things.

I took two weeks and spent it with family that was around, staff and servants I liked and trained brush up training with our ducal arms masters so I put in time like I’m serious and rode out with pages and squires to “Observe” their field and survival training and refreshed that as well and everyone could report back I’m leaving for quite awhile and that I was serious about it right down to the basics.

I donate my ship and loads of supplies and such to the Skywood gods in exchange for a prayer set of pantheon basics and a portable shrine.

Then I go back to Titan by Waterportal that I learned while on Titan from Kentares and passing through the Element works.

I went to Bre and Lionfalls and Tyger/Ours said the massive running water creates positive chi which is why martial artists train there but it’s Bre’s place of power and I got Guardian purified and cleansed and fasted there, sweat lodge he had like cedar steam house he and Tyger built there and I started from there… cleaned and Tatiana channels the Dwarven Rune God Belimar and tattoos me with a protection circle vs evil on my left shoulder in green/blue magic ink that Dorian invented that I can channel and make glow. And I get her to add a fish or bubbles to shellfish in colours I can shift and she gets into it, Tyger, Bre and T called mainstream T’s Shaman husband over and talked about it, magic, totems and spirits and rune stuff. It kind of sparked their own thing about rune magic mixed with Aeran sacred tattoos and I volunteer and where Tyger has his Tyger I get in Aeran White sacred ink a glowing open starlily rooted into a Tao set of Water rune as one dot and Blue on the other as their test volunteer.

Like big blue.

I stay on Titan about a month and in that time I talk about what I want to learn and things about magic like Kentares seeing and showing me the linked element stuff and Bailey got us an underwater hand welder to play with as it affects fire and water and we can feel it out and it’s a great prop.

He also came up with water circulating through my body and organs, internal alchemy martial arts theory, water/body hardening all as ideas for more study along with some other suggestions.

I take that month to build my research and study plan with loads of advice and I let them train me hard. Training exercises with T and Lani who’s back in training herself and the workouts, rigs just learning to move one around is enough for me and still hard damned training… Brighton runs then a Horsemanship refresher out to Bre who teaches Dwarven fighting, wrestling, heavy sword and we have access to the falls and trying to use the sheer water weight and force to train our armour spells and shields and firing bolts up vs the streams and I spar with the viscous deadly fae fast High Queen and her little mithril buckler and fencing shortsword and then a ride home and de-gear, stall, clean, feed, help the rest of the barn and shops and then clean up and evening meals.

After that my time is my own so I do the selling off stuff I brought from home, then I busk water magic and hired out services sometimes with mercs like fast things like steam cleaning, washing, drycleaning gear.

I drink a lot, not partying to get hammered but committing the tastes, strengths the elemental feel of it and store it in mental notes in my spark/soul/magic.

I do party if the people are nice and fun but not too hard, I want a reputation as a decent guy and I do shirtless enough that people see the tattoos and that I’m not the bad Sylvan’s but more Lani and Dorians people.

Titan humans have a bit of elf fever once I’m a good elf and safe and flirted with until I said yes one night and let those moments happen with the ladies and the men.

Hooking up with Evan? Was more about being defiant of home and after Tyger’s crew and Kentare’s people I was exposed to a lot more twists and trysts and he was a handsome older battleknighter and I said yes and the man was nice, it was a hookup but it was nice, it was a good one night stand and a nice way to find out I’m Bisexual or Pansexual or the Alliance LGBT+ whatever I am.

I busk because of Kentares and I gather water from the air and add light magic in the water and I watershape like she flameshapes and half of what I busk goes to charities and temples and free drinks and decent tips and after that month I move to The Rest.

Skye is my friend.

And she’s outpaced a lot of us and that’s drawn harder foes or it will so I need the time.

And I go into a magic program at The Rest.

Studying general Wizardry, Rune magic and Dimensional Shifter Magic all in lighter studies as minors to my studies in Marine biology, Xeno-marine biology, D-bee-marine biology and minors in Aquaculture and Engineering.

Which means Math and Sciences and all the galactic basic science course education and I actively took Tai Chi Ch’uan, Dance, Yoga, Kai Pai Shen…tygers form as well as various military MMA’s to learn to teach. And music on my own and art courses and did some modelling as a student and spent Rest time holidays at various reef like places, surf places as in like realms and worlds and learn… the slang, languages, food trends and styles and sports…I’m not any better than a casual but I learn volleyball, hula hoop, sand castles and sculptures and surfing, waterskiing just to be familiar. Even hit the mountains and do BC forest Parkour and Mountain biking and learn snow skills like Military courses but skiing, snowboarding and actually going to big Ski places around The Rest.

Then I join the Sentinels in the Warlock division and do full training and a tour in The Bugverse… shit… three… Bugs are not armoured versus internal hardwater blade magics or freezing and I can make ice hard enough to back up armour or seal breaches or summon a star ice cloud that we can hide in their lines or past it as a rogue comet.

Three tours and TDC access for research and I learn “Waterbending” from people at the rest with the hydrokinetics and martial skills and there are fandom practitioners and start learning Vapour bending moving water vapour like an Airbender and a White Hydrogen flames Firebending and Siltbending using wet earth and compression until I can mould stone from Silty water…It’s 12 years away, with access to a TDC and training between combat missions.

I started a basic fighter, I went through the training which was more than I had and I was not planning on being “Specialist.” effective with the bugs but I needed the experience, I needed to do something real and not just be a scholar and a technical caster. I’d never be able to stand vs what is coming and is out there if I didn’t learn the reactions and instincts. Do things Dad and then wouldn’t think I could do.

I also do Bailey’s suggestions and read and research martial circulation lore and internal alchemy and martial circulation and breathing makes a lot of sense and the internal alchemy is the idea of chi controlling organs inside you to refine chemical or potion effects.

Simple ideas, hugely complex things and a path of “Immortality”.

It’s too huge to study so I concentrate on a few buffs.

Sounds weird but what if I set out to brew specific things like Kavian leaves and healing herbs and decent flavour herbs for a “Matte” that is a healing potion almost like a long term booster.

Draw more power or effect from potions or medicine.

It’s a start and I do the same with my food including “Broth” and Waybread, Starhoney, and vitamin/mineral workout shakes.

And it can get so much worse I think because Lyam and others they’re out there, off world and not just The Rose but that’s a whole region we know little to nothing of.

“Tarian Whitestar” is the Sentinel mage that came up with the “Silent Knight” Ice magic and it became a huge hit on a strategy that we used to take back seven systems before they caught on and started blasting everything made of ice.

I’m a Captain Specialist under that name when I fight in “The Battle of The Reef.”

On Sentinel’s Earth a far from tame place yet and it was taking the Great Barrier Reef from the Splugorth kitanni there and the teaming Horune and other evil things there and there’s a lot of monsters and bad things there hurting “The Reef”

The fighting here was really intense and personal as there were a lot of darker water casters and hostiles and it’s a big place. It took a month for us as Sentinels to take it.

And I stayed there helping things get set up and converted into civilian and Sentinel areas and New Navy is involved as well as Tritonia and that’s when I really got a taste of what was out there in water magic, Ocean magic, Sea Druids and Totem Sea druids and more showed as we turned it from darkness back to light.

And it’s intense, swimming, Diving, surfing even in D-animal/monster infested waters and fishing/sea hunting as well and harvesting pearls and coral and other treasures as we get dug in and the place is defended and then we started to heal things.

And some gifts “The Reef” gifts us.

Because once we freed the place it thanked us.

Some of us and it’s more a Light aligned hive mind magic colony and it developed that way because there’s a four point nexus in here that has been feeding it mana since the world changed.

I communed with it and it through me communed with Blue and that’s when I really “rested” otherwise I’d dip into TDC sleep like the rest if the Sentinels stationed there and we’d all run hot and fast for 2-23 hours a day all week for months.

I understand a lot more now, that I’ve been in the service, seen the changes, been changed myself just by living it.

When the attack happened on Skywood I was in Trance and Blue showed me and I came out of it and went and got ready after dipping to The Rest and resigning out of the Services and getting my pay shifted over.

Then I grab my bags and I go to Skye to hopefully help.

It’s… it could have been way worse;

And going in after knocking… her and Skylar… when did he get so hot? Her too she’s done so much that it comes across… She’s Skye and known as her… she’s as known as Jax’s friend.

But wow… both of them are… Dangerously yes.

**His hair is longer but magiced Aqua coloured and has a sun bleached lightness in there and he’s taller a little not much and he’s still young faced but something is different he carries himself differently…. More graceful and confident but very sylvan/elven graceful but like an experienced warrior… model guy hot walking with a Much warmer in his eyes and smile.**

**He’s wearing a nice simple collarless suit in navy with a k-flex vest/diving shirt as a shirt under it. He has gifts and and bags and a basket and a looks happy to see everyone.**

Tails Tale…

My friends call me Tails, My Given name is Taelsin Masters. Yes that Masters…and No, he doesn’t know. Mostly because I’m a meta, not him, not my mom, but me… and I’d be called a Feral or a feline mutant I’ve meta powers that have me with Lion like abilities, in a proportional humanoid way and add healing factor to that and well all the cat ontop of the Masters which took “Ooooh best traits!” and all that stuff.

I go by Porter, the most common taken last name from the Underground railroad.

And I was lucky I caught a break and just as I was mutating my mom and her Doug the step dick booted me out and I just made my way to Ark City hitching in from the midwest and met up with “Helix Sunfire” The AA mutant that had his own manga series and Anime shows as well as a live action show.

I got taken in and under his wing with other metas as he ran a meta stuntman-actor company and we learned control through stunt work and made money too and once we were really into it we trained in Chinese Martial Stunt work, only meta’s doing crazy stunts and wire work without wires.

I got enough work that I got a character on a show in PC and did a bunch of anthrofilms b rated villains and henchmen and of course it’s PC and my life so actual crime happened as we filmed and that’s usually good reel and press for us… no, we don’t go looking.

Did some bodyguarding, driver, bounty hunting as day job things and played well with other, did stuff by the book as much as I could but didn’t take shit either.

Even did a guest season on a bounty hunting show before I got a new gig.

Kai… the Whole L’L Sarajevo thing her people, planet, embassy inspired a bunch of Egyptian stuff but I got on to “Rebellion.” And we go the angle of us as the early gods before there were who they were.

Script kicked ass from the start and a lot of meta actors and anthros real powers are the best special effects and add in we had a mage hired Jzmina E’Starrion… a Vishanti mage that did show magic but science show stuff and PBS effects help for free. “Jazz” is a sweetheart, all henna and magic tattoos that she can change colours on and light up and white hair all punk cut and pink tinted and she’s a cyber punk/steam/punk tech magic savvy team and set mom.

Seriously first thing she has is a D-magic deepfreeze with leftovers from craft services and hindi, mex, vish and asian restaurants all donate as advertising and take as much as you want no crew member goes hungry on her team.

She even has this super high end pet food that donates that like vat made perfect proteins and really expensive, for free too.

And of course she knows all the AA’s and is tight with Daystar.

Chase, his people and that eventually led to specialist contracts and wavers but a big pay bump and life insurance and we go with select crews to friendly areas on The Rifting Earth fighting local creatures as things for the show and there’s nothing like surging ley lines at night we we up North for that and I was watching and helping with security just in case when I heard it…

Screaming, crying, women, blood…

I was running just on instinct my senses locked in on the scents and some were not good, not good at all and then I saw the Nexus point and some girl was being rape attacked and yeah… fuck… past a gate huh… I can’t leave them to this.

I pick up speed pushing that Masters feeling where I can kick start that part of my brain.

The attempted rapist is a Kilrathi scumbag and on Rifts Earth I’m super charged… mega classed, and I still have that charge in my system as I flying jump kick him to a wall and make a squish.

I take everything in at Brotherhood speed shouldering off my ion rifle to the girl. “Safety is off, point and fire there’s thirty shots in each.” I drop the e-clip pouch too and Leap full force blindsiding their group and tackling some and use the rest of my mega strength in high speed cat brotherhood reflexes max Ju-jutsu taking weapons as I’m breaking bones, joints, necks on two because they were too drunk to stop me and I stage growl through the fight and well… I have a sword… it’s a mega blade so I can use it there and not bust it but here it’s super sharp what parts I don’t twist, I slice and toss weapons randomly to these freshly kidnapped folks.

**He’s golden furred like velvet but looks like both man and Lion? He’s in light armour in nighttime colours and military gear and tall, handsome, long hair like a mane and a lions tail with a matching blonde tuft. He is in this state of control like is rarely felt as he came through on goodwill and turned the tide he took dozens in minutes… a mix of fighting no one’s seen. He tossed med packs over tearing off the kits with velcro? “Right please tell me someone can speak New Havener?” as he carefully heads to the doors. Knight’s styled longsword that cut through anything… including the wall just off the blast doors….**

Mike and I had a lot longer as our first times together than I thought and it’s the first time in a real relationship, I’m good with everything sexually I’m sorta a mix of everything? But being with Mike sexually is my first were we really equally switch and we couldn’t really keep out hands off each other.

Okay… day after our real hook up and we’re at the tree house platform and we went from sex under that sky and stars in just a sleeping bag sentinel set and Mako the local tribe chief waking us and a knock on the platform and coals on banana leaves bacon chunks and raw coconut sizzling and fresh coffee like grown here and it wasn’t judgingy or work it was a smile… “Surf’s in thirty, left boards down bottom.” And he just fell off his boys caught him and there’s this whole surf culture and edge of dawn thing as we watch, ate with our fingers, made out in this whole getting dressed thing and we picked out good boards and the whole morning, this, him, clean air, sunshine… the magic, the minerals…I had this… Mage gresting? Idea? I don’t know what it was but I was waiting between sets with Mike him teaching me the knee hold and lie back on your board thing and it hit… it hit then and percolate until lunch and we ate dove for food tanned and kissed and then I….

Plants filter toxins, some species will pull it from the soil.

Mike’s Seren… I kiss him deep and soft and sink my roots in and start cycling cleaned life force back to him… but plants feed off the toxins so I’m turning that unbalanced dark stuff leftover into green power and I return it to the multiverse to balance all our collateral damage.

I did this all day and it’s not a spell but a new way of our powers working together and just doing that and our bond getting stronger, lots of napalm tanning, sex in quiet places and he knows the place and yeah floors me and fixes something I didn’t get was off with the hummingbird place, or swimming in that jellyfish one which I got him back by after sex amd holding each other floating I conjure green magic food for them and gather them in pictures of galaxies and nebulas because… the smile, the look in his eyes.

That was our first day… fantasy… maybe but we.

Kissed him and snuggled in and “Today was awesome… I am so relieved to finally be with the person that I want to have this so much I can have it too.”

Cause.. Oh yeah he gets the I’m not good enough to have this by myself feeling.

He did look at me because he can feel me being honest and it was just something snuggled in but it sort broke new ground?

Are links like this? I never even though about not telling him.

I go down after blowing him and then pinning his legs back and hard fucking him out of his dreams and went down to the others and made our food and coffee green enhancing the beans, roast, the feed in the pork but a brined the bacon within green magic with coconut water and fresh sugar cane.

Mmm… enhanced coffee sweet smoked crisped bacon, tortillas, scrambled eggs in leaf, salsa, and an earth conjure crafted ukulele for him and green magic booted picks and that was how we started day two.

And we surfed and he played and he got sentinel hard shelter troop kits and he make a solar and tech magic armoured long house and instead of losing our deck Iron vines grew and the whole thing in place and added lattice we uses mega crete planters and local lava rock as outside grill.

And we got asked to do this and help others.

Our military know-how, shelters for the tribe and Mike’s Sentinel stuff and my green magic with ironwood trees…. I get Mike to Seren sphere and use green magic roots to eat it as the battery and turned the grown shaped hardwood trees mega class.

Armoured shelters in the ground, under trees, trees houses, blinds, every place Mako and the tribe asked and that Seren green and magic cleansing give backs… Local waters surfing, the reefs below us, burst of recharge… the tidal lines and the forest, Volcano and goddess we just gave back when we were someplace not needing the power and we can feel the changes the shift in just good stuff.

Morning of day three we were up together and Dorian and Syn both felt what we did and are very WTF.

Apparently our thing is a bonded thing but the idea was sound that you can draw… Syn pulling summer heat energy from the Summers girl, earth from himself, growing time power from the Sylss and water from the Cattaur and healing magic reduces strain on the whole thing and air from Shurri as well but she has Seren… the key lets them tap into that as well.

Working together especially if Syn transfers it out as need to each one they’re whole team powers took off on us as they made their keys stronger…like we were just the nudge.

We had three days before shit hit the fan I I sent him to… “Go… be my guy…”

‘Cause yeah… the fact Mike goes kinda huge part of him and I love ALL of him.

I keep in contact as stuff was going down but I went to “The Garden” on max setting and worked my ass off to get the actual credentials but to actually have Green mage as a working title.

All my spare time was crashing, talking to him and building gear and my magic I use and my entire focus is joining him.

……

Green magic enhanced Astran bamboo cloth woven into my fatigues and battle jacket and wards sewn into it from Anastacia in return for wood magic needles, sewing threads, healing threads, hemp cloth, cotton, flax denim… oddly friends as she has ward embroidered and things stronger than anyone and she sews buff in my clothes, and Mikes fatigues too and orders for our loved ones and gave her a friendship gift of a Kavia bush root centre chunk as a healing focus thimble and the rest into a spinning wheel.

I gave her my socials and phone and we just clicked and I like knitting and sewing.

Gear, armour, talismans and batteries and a barge of supplies I go to him at Aera where they were hit and showed for my guy because he’s doing the job and that’s my guy… my mate… my bonded… yeah y’all best feel me showing up and airport kissing him in shock before the barge is stopped.

**His hair’s grown out but there’s beads, charms wood and stones and mega classed pressed leaves, petals and flowers plus feathers made mega class and preserved… those eyes happy and beaming and but hungry in his kissing and this push of how hard he prepped to be ready and safe. Not on the field… no… but helping, backing you… wherever… yeah… he’s all… it… it’s a houseboat barge too.**

“So… I was thinking I might make an okay husband.”

***Bailey… It takes a lot out of you coming back and the war and things there and the Sylvan things and Lyam and well we laid low and were watching the kids and Aera and letting them deal as we were getting stronger and better and getting resources.

Keth was able to trade some Eternal fires to some serious forges and battleknight smithies add her power to Kai’s eternal fires she made for the temples in the crusades with gives them an up date and I add in my eternal boosts with her and Dorian makes them a green magic pattern they can power to bring out the green power to boost the coal because a lot of it was plants.

And he figured out how to make clay and ceramic enamelling for armour and battle knights but using ground stone from stonewood trees this is a big deal as it is on par with mainstream materials.

I was hunting, doing the Bre thing but in my Tyger form and hunting and then training in my arts but also learning rig work because the harness and things are training that is good but it’s training I haven’t done before and in martial arts that’s a big thing.

Training runs with T and since I’m me spell weighted gear.

And when I can I jump to The Silk Islands.

The Silk Islands were a Horune and Kitanni base in a set of volcanoes the Splugorth bombed until they were highly unstable and summoned elemental to form the islands and it became a base and a retreat with slaves the locals brought in to mine the volcanoes and old lava beds for tech magic gems and other things and the jungles were planted as food and other needs as well as a lots of the produce grown here is from offword.

The Ruler here was a High Lord that had served and was influenced by the Oni of the 3G’s and brought his take on that culture and others like it from there to his domain.

Daimyo Kumo-Asa-Tatsuo….. “The bear among the dragons” was what he called himself and the dragons here were his slaves the eggs of the parents he hunted and kept the bones on display.

Add in other races and other slaves things the kitanni and Horune did and brought and bio wizard made monsters it’s a dangerous but fascinating land and martial arts and skills I have never heard of and going there was hunting and foraging and introductions through T to people there and had permission as well took a few jobs and was getting back to… this was like Kyu’s sacred lands and altogether different.

For One the Sile in Silk Islands the silk comes from giant silkworms that live for hundreds of years and are massive green recyclers so they eat green waste like anything veg based biodegradable and they’ll eat it. And spin massive amounts of silk.

So killing monsters and getting trade and finding things and with how I can fight and handle things and my childhood I wreck dived the Horune ruins and ships as well and fought off the monster animals down there and found some things.

It was all just getting started when this hit.

Dorian took up the throne again because Lyam got shot up really badly and The Republic needs him and Lani.

Me…

I go back with Keth and the others and the carnage and the destruction and loss is just.

I pushed things back and I jumped back to Titan and started getting supplies from my allies and from the new allies in The Silk Islands who sell at cheap or give us things and I get my Rig I was building and get it up and going and jumped it to Silk and used it to push the barges of goods I was given with the rig but “Push and D-shift them from the waters there to the shores home on Aera in the places I can land them on the new shores where Keth and them are and at Sea Star, Ember and At the lake that used to be the cisterns for the City of Winds before the war but I shove three of the barges there and D-step the rig and myself and two mid sized Silk Islander river sailing ships full of supplies I tow walking into shore.

**The rig is twenty five feet high and tiger classic yellow base colour and tyger stripes in black metallic enamel make it have that Tyger look and the trim is very plane very mecha and anime inspired and it’s sleek but the helm head is a very Samurai meets transformer look and it has a long cloth longcoat with no sleeves instead of the cloak like T’s has but this is the Flag of Aera colours and the main design is the whole back.

He has a sword, a Rig katana on a side sheath and A’Shani like light and the Feel of Tyger of him leaks from the rig as he holds both anchors and wades through the lake to shore pulling two sailing ships full of supplies.**

***Dorian…

Lani and I had retired and we had been saved and hidden away on Titan and we came back after things settled with Lyam somewhat but this was our planning away from all of them T’s a Paladin so our enemies couldn’t scry us here.

And of course we’re thankful and Honestly T brought up the offer as she was curious about us both and that was new enough for us that we tried it and while T and I get along better professionally and sexually in clothes, food her and Lani match and in domestic things as well and Lani was very interested in the stories of her and the Hawk and Dove things but also other Palladium things and especially her bloodline as that is a thing for both of us too her with Tyvek and Everlasting blood and me with Highelven fleeter blood.

Brighton and its troubles and gifts seem weirdly in line with the rest of us.

And there are diplomatic things for me to do here and green magic help with the druids and Dwarves with the biggest idea is to dyke off the swamps and make tidal farmlands and then build transport canals and rains to shift water around and windmill pumps and even building out until mining cut can be wagoned out and a whole built idea of a sea wall set of hills and things for beaches and all the harbour shops and needed things out on “Asguard’s Rim.”

Earth brought in Mangroves and Cypress and Other Everglades and North style trees we were getting from The Garden too as we were planning on adding in water friendly treelines.

Thing is, some of the things I’m doing here are training and ideas fleshed out I can do at home.

Plus T hooks me up with a whole swath of Dwarven farms willing to work with me and breeders of potatoes and types but turnips and beets, carports and several kinds of squashes and pumpkins and 11 new kinds and colours of beans.

I diplomatically work with farmers on cultural cross works and other places seem just as wonderful too and Valhalla and the whole middle Kingdom has amazing wheat breeds and raise swine and cattle and have large dairies and is a realm of estate castles and rolling hills and vast fields of grains and crops or livestock, breads, beers, white brews or small beers like safe to drink very light sort of cooler and beef, pork and very germanic sort of foods with sausages and schnitzels meat things and dumplings and stuffed dumplings.

It’s a damned nice planet and T as a lover and guide to both of us was nice and easy as she liked us both as a couple but in different ways.

It weirdly was helping it was like emotionally after everything getting to find new footing in a new place where we could breathe and T liked Dorian and Lani the other stuff to her was just our jobs.

I will be honest I did not want to come back which is of fucking course why I had to.

Lani was rushed to do healing and I bring in a caravan of help from Dwarven temples and Druids but as a throw back to the summoning war days I do the green magic eye banding make up, braid all my hair greenwood style and bead it with Jadewood beads so that the jade on me brown hair matches my hazel and some beads are carved as diamond or scales some as thorns and some have wards and protections… Dwarven mithril earcuffs set with Titan jade charmed into perception booster charms not just for hearing but all five hearing is just the most specialized including defended.

***Lani….

I fucking loved retiring and stepping away and Lyam and Shaya can’t open the room to the Moonstone and even if Keth broke it it’s still huge fleet era tech magic and that stone can be cut down. In fact I was planning on asking Mackenzie because she’d get how to tear and break it down and analyze it and the big thing…the off cuts, scrap, things still maybe usable and powerful I can leave in her hands.

I took three days to pack the things I wanted and moved them to Highwood House on Skywood we set that up and then we went back to Titan. Not just to retire but we slept there, it’s part of us and T and us happening together and each other…Her and D got her and Boen close and her and I click in other ways and the sex is amazing and minus fae or witch/sister magics in all my ages have never made me get off and feel so raw and devoured.

She gave me her Yurt, yeah her Plains dwarf set up it’s a yurt and she set it up for me outside Old Cullum’s and we instantly get along.

He’s part blood like me, Old blood dwarf from Rune settled her was his father who had Magelord human in him and his mother a Crusader so he’s like me a different mix but Old and still pretty okay.

Powerful mystically by blood and lives beside a nexus point protected by Lion Falls and Holy Guardian Territory and Bre is at Cullum’s a lot as he made a huge library under his humble house built into the side of the mountain.

I’m a teen again every time I’m down there a dungeon maze of old stone earth magic carved to bookcases, lovingly lines with woods and it’s books, papers of hundreds of kinds they made over time, hides, leather, all sorts of ways of getting things writtens down and the spell books and theory sections have difficulty mage locks to figure out.

Does Titan get into your blood? It’s an Eternalverse world right?

Because I’ve had T rail me all night and have had screaming good sex then she’s off Championing or something so I have her cloak, a fleece and post sex was naked by the falls on the plains and washed myself with soaproot in cold river water and knew Bre or Cullum would be watching and made a fire, heated shine like saki and put on some slow oatmeal drank hot shine under T’s cloak on the fleece naked in the sunshine.

On purpose.

Meditating on the leyline.

I swear the men here you look at the the wrong way and they get too damned good looking.

I’m married with a third studying old dwarven magic and notes on the Greenwood war apparently here was an escape from the Splugorth thing but in a goblin nest in old ruins here and sparked a whole deal a lot of them helped invent rigs after being kitanni slaves and mechanics.

It’s a small section of history but it ties us.

Cullum casts TDC on my yurt until I can myself and I drop the healer dizty mom things and use the time to write my papers on history and magic theory but show Sylvan war arrows recovered at dwarven digs from the Crusades… recording, rubbing, silicone casts and Titan is kind of our retirement Embassy thing so I start being me.

The plains a good place to do and practise big magics and I work to nurture and feed and grow my Everlasting blood and I think it’s working, I feel stronger.

Dorian was in Asguard doing his Stonewood stuff and that meant he came home at nights to the Yurt and I had deeply, deeply intense sex with magic and even a bit of Sisterhood kink and we were together steady for three days when I was mixing bread and got the call.

**She’s loose haired Lani in a Titan woman’s leather tunic dress and corseted just to stay on her she’s healing and once she feels them backing she opens up and channels the time before the war but time doesn’t exist in the lifestream so that power lets her draw off Her living people back then.**

(Cass, Gwen) She’s strong enough she pulling so much Everlasting power the fleet’s noticing her, on tech magic scans and she is healing as strong as the strongest healers in her Everlasting bloodline and Brighton blood is now pumping inside of her, definitely pregnant.

***Tatiana…

Ah din mean t’fall fer Dorian an Lani but it just sort of happened kinda the same as Boen an others an that much time with someone you genuinely like.. Leads t’feeling.

They were having the same as me and it’s nice as we’re sorta age similar we’re all seasoned in our own ways and we get that.

This said I’ve switched over a time or two with both and just adding Jacen’s lower brain to regular me is their regular idea.

I think it works because we’re familiar and new and we’re just leaving it as lovers and friends.

Dorian did wake me to how big his farming can be and green and earth engineering has my brain tickled and he figured out stone wood enamelling, made it better and sustainable.

That stone magic extra protection the trigorn stone clay gives he made into an enamel and ceramic, past that he gets too advanced but still… a port, shit ton more trade, food, work I can push for more public stuff, raise the status quo.

The it all happened and Bailey and Keth/Kai are known here came back here we have a fucked up pride and ownership so Asguard is turning out and The line to help runs from the Waygate at the top of the city to the gates… all bringing more than they’ll ever use there helping.

Our temples already sending people with Dorian.

Part One….

They came to Demonstar through a rift and they took Nightgarden absolutely massacring all the sentients living there and they did it with an unknown bunch of self modded raider ships like the Kilrathi but good tech, kobold engineering and more.

Mixed forces with a lots of the dark standards and this army of very high tech mercs many with a Kyu/Japanese/Oni 3-G’s design and 3-G’s weaponry and other exotic things as well as magic weapons and gear and tech magic.

This elite core that seemed like a Clan with houses surrounded by retainers and then they actually Transmitted as Nightgarden but ruled by Falcastra of Eternal House of Vayne.

In hours she gated through a prefab, pre-built battle station that covered Nightgarden like a cage like Eternal six sided tunnels in this drift colony build in asteroids and all the structures have an Asian Aesthetic and even the base buildings and towers built like that, bonsai and full sized trees either as solar power tech or com antennae a gorgeous cage, five layers deep like Solstice but you can fly through it and she had the people already, dark races, humans, Kyunari from somewhere and fucking castles in asteroids and domes and after week they were dug in and she opened a freeport.

She sold a lot of everything but her shipyards were 3-G’s or Eternal classed and if you sword in blood on a peal to her you get a home, free med, upgrades, no taxes, no species restrictions.

Just a customer? Cheap, fair, do not recognize any government authority except her own backed by force as needed.

Independents that could carry their own ships and raid teams were signing and given a tube and engineered a whole asteroid home and hangar depending on what you brought.

Bigger raider fleets she cut deals with she gave them fleet orbits and rotated them through whole caves in an assembly line upgrade, repair even detailing of the ship and they stuck around saving enough money that they had an interest in keeping her in power.

The Planet was off limits except for her specialists terraforming it and building but solid rumours say she’s leaning into this sacred park preserve colony place. It’s always night there it’s in the orbital dead spot and slowly turns and well some ancients made big statues sort of like waygates more a structure than a thing and Nightgarden is Ultraviolet lit very bioluminescent and perpetual twilight.

And apparently she’s keeping the wildlife lethal and local deal and survive as you can.

Few months and those fleets fully geared started raiding hard including Aera.

They attacked and the Lioness shield didn’t just explode the PSB was ground level when it formed and hit and something like a trigorn earthquake spell bombs went off… shock waves overlapping and as the black hole formed the shattered planet chunks were ripped inside and everything down to the mantle for a hundred miles was just…gone and Aera was screaming, the fleets hit and raided, killed, raped and took no one, took everything they could and with the raiders that was everything.

Anything standing was left as rubble and it was so fast and one of them, one of the enemy took out a New Haven like phone and hit video record of everything on fire and dead or gone.

“As an act of mercy I have been instructed to bring this to the attention of the Sentinels and their powers likely feeling the burn… This is a formal request for aid from their killers, and an invitation to a war of champions from any corner you wish here in a year or we blow Aera that day. He turns the phone to the sky and Coventry of that planet blows…something went through it like a bullet.

It dropped the d-phone like a mic drop and people can hear the laughs and cheers.

………………………..

***Part 2

The Federation Kincaid went through three weeks of panic as left overs from the Sylvan attacks still erupted and in places like random the plant monsters killing everything in sight then crawling in and animating the people.

Someone in power that was stupid and related more than qualified pushed the button and Kincaid the capital city died in thermonuclear fire with no warning except people heard the guy panic on open coms because he had to save the universe.

He was sainted so fast by New Terra and related politicians they turned him into a Federation folk hero hard, fast and the worse people with the most power and the worse audiences screamed for war and Fed civilians were killing or attacking Sylvans on other planets.

Rural worlds non humans were getting lynched, videos of terrified fucking “ay lee uns” as the H1 hooded bastards murdered people that didn’t know it was even coming and they’re posting it and the Feds cleared the public defending itself in an emergency session.

Militias with merc ships posting about going monster hunting.

Elven ears hit black markets and bounties for 2000 credits a pair.

Then all the body parts and preferred jobs of the elves as bonuses.

These clans and The Kilrathi King’s forces start hitting the republic and Lyam left with “The King’s Riders” and he leads volunteers through networks of Swans as response teams out of a massive set of gate barracks in the Palace built just to house first response and Lyam is in the field and Shaya is running things and handling rewards and troops and it was getting hot and The Feds were screaming for blood.

And Jorath Ember the bastard half brother of Jetheriah the Summoner king got his elite eternal knights and mercs and anti-sylvan zealots and hit Shaya with a Kamikaze raid on the Palace and there’s hundreds dead…

It was three hours ago and it went out really quietly that Shaya was attacked and badly injured and Kiera was in court doing that trying to redeem her family name when they attacked.

She called for Sentinel help begging to save Shaya,

They murdered baby Prince Dylan named for his dad and uncle to bring peace and they beat and broke Shaya trying to save him and gang raped her and Kiera was not much better off when she called begging.

………………………………………………………

***Lyam… Everything changed and I got everything I ever wanted and Dorian actually retired and went back to Titan of all places and we still talked given everything and he had the fucking Annoying habit of telling me who would get pissed off if I did any given thing, he had lists.

“There’s light fae, dark fae but it’s the bureaucratic fae that are the worst.”

Things were on the mend then we started getting Kilrathi reports and some new warlord but they sounded different… Eternal but like the asshole sect… Darkani.

Then the attacks happened and The Kilrathi king was pissed about the New comer and we missed something out there and he’s not trying to top dog them.

Instead we get extra attention.

The Feds are losing their mind and they think they know who it is but it’s getting insane they’re straight up murdering their non human civilians on video.

I go fight… Lead by example, get paid in loyalty and bond of battle years later as a King should.

I was not expecting Another attack from Aera and they didn’t even try and hide it.

Got shot after that when I heard the Skywood girl Donovan’s bastard… Shaya…

I wake up in a med room and Lani says. “She’s alive but…”

Dorian has the crown in his hands and leaves with it putting it on.

“Stay down Lyam, stay with her we got this.”

***Dorian….

Yes I went back to Titan because we’ve been living there and people congregated there at T’s and we had friends and could relax and plan on doing things to help every one free of the king's rules.

And… Lani and I ended up thanking Tatiana and we three was an ongoing thing, a new thing but yes.

Then shit started hitting the fan and then the attacks.

When they hit Shaya there were Kilrathi and other mercs gunning for him hard like they new he’d be off his game and they damned near killed him too if he wasn’t such a stubborn asshole.

Yes.

Fuck…

But yes… I took back the fucking thing and I channelling on my palm scars and pull on the feelings.

………….

Then Deathwing wherever he was heard about Shaya…

I head outside the others will be here soon likely.
