Jason and Unarin fly and stand at a high vantage point so that they can gaze down upon the comatose body of the Titaness known as Ramma, daughter of the Allmother. At eighty-feet-tall, she is massive, roughly double the size of Zeus during the Ancient Era. When Jason looks at the giant before him, he…
"We cannot stay in Valhalla for long." Unarin says, shooting a pointed glance at the Wordsmith. "This is a world which is hostile to biological life forms. Within just fifty-three of your Terran-minutes, the dimensional space will eject us back to the surface of Grimvolas, right in front of that horde of Dolgrimites. You do…
Tarus II. At the base of the Lazarus Tower. Two weeks after Jason and Kordonis take their leave to travel to Volgarius, the people he left behind don’t remain idle. They continue working, building up humanity’s base of power while also pursuing their long-term strategic goals. Phoebe Hiro stands atop a recently constructed speaker platform,…
Earlier that day. Hope Hiro prepares his mind and body. He fully assumes the figure of an ordinary Changeling, a Second-Class Initiate Observer named Xainir. His face and head morph into a bald, bulbous skull with giant pitch-black eyes. He dons a standard white uniform, one that vaguely seems like something a human scientist might…
The Founder’s Spear travels at Warp 9 for just a little over six hours. Eventually, it decelerates and drops out of hyperspace inside the outer reaches of a certain star system, one that appears barely any different to all the other systems Jason has visited since his awakening six years before. As soon as Jason…
As Jason walks alongside the First Founder of Volgrimkind, a seemingly passive and benign fellow with no outward aggressiveness, he also communicates with his mind-wife, Fiona, in secret. [What do you think of the guy so far, honey?] Jason asks. [He’s definitely perceptive and picking out new clues about me and my true goals as…
Jason Hiro pushes open the doors leading into the First Founder’s Sanctum. The sight that greets him is one of almost religious significance. He enters a room coated in white stone floors, walls, and ceiling. This stone resembles marble, but it also has distinct cloudy patterns etched into its texture, and as Jason gives the…
The Volgarius system is far, far larger than Jason Hiro’s former home, the Sol System. It has significantly more rocky worlds within its confines, though it only possesses a single gas giant. The distances between these planets are also much greater, with the furthest planet in the system ten times more distant from the system’s…
Jason Hiro stands on the bridge of Kordonis’s vessel, the Hatoraxia, watching as a timer counts down the last five minutes until arriving inside the Volgrim’s home system. He turns to the side, where he observes Kordonis sitting in the captain’s chair, fiddling with a screen Jason can’t quite make out. "This is the VLL…
The VLL Hatoraxia draws ever closer to Volgarius, but back on Tarus II, plenty of events continue to play out, even with neither of the Wordsmiths around. Despite the two Heroes disappearing, everyone believes Hope is inside the Labyrinth, hunting down Mephisto to slaughter him. Nobody doubts Hope’s hatred of demons, to the point that…
