After meeting with the other heads of humanity’s united militaries, Jason, Phoebe, and Belial leave their makeshift command structure, a simple square building lacking all frills, to head over to the hospice division. They pass the giant pit left behind by Beelzebub’s detonation and pause to look at it as many often do. The crater’s…
Tarus II, inside the crystalline walls of the Fortress of Retribution. Humanity continues to slowly but surely rebuild after the events of Ose’s Stormbringer Attack. Of the original three million humans and the significantly smaller monster and demon populace who existed before the demons attacked, fewer than a third of the population remains alive. Among…
Half a day after the Grand Assembly. Founder Unarin silently strides into his core offices, the key floors of the Founder’s Thumb, one of the five towers comprising the Founder’s Fingers. Not far from the topmost levels, his core offices rest on the 341st through 350th floors. The number of personnel inside this highly restrictive…
Founder Dosena folds her hands behind her back. She levitates a meter above the Founder’s Platform and assumes a dignified pose. [Our species faces multiple existential threats. In addition to the Kolvaxians and the Wordsmith, the First Emperor of Demonkind has also made an appearance, shortly following the conclusion of the Battle for Hell Harbor.]…
Muuxunuu issues a declaration that silences the room. "The First and Second Founders have arrived." Immediately, all conversations stop. Every Volgrim present flicks their eyes or their psionic senses around, trying to be the first to catch a glimpse of the most revered Volgrim in their entire species’ history. The war hero who crushed the…
Founder Unarin’s head administrator, Muuxunuu, spreads her arms out and holds her palms face-up. "The Kolvaxians are a threat the likes of which our people might not survive. However, if we pool our resources together and follow Founder Unarin’s direction, I believe that eventually, we will purge the galaxy of their threat." She lowers her…
Sangin Kordonis, Invocator Miikil, and the other twenty members of the Hatoraxia’s Bridge crew all sit, stand, or hover inside a large ‘skybus,’ one of the common machines used to travel across Volgarius’s surface. The rather large vehicle boasts relatively comfortable accomodations for all different types of Volgrim, particularly Technopaths. Unlike Psions, Changelings, or the…
Somewhere deep within Hell, inside a forgotten alcove near the edges of the slowly-expanding labyrinthian space… Uriel, now fully reverted back to Barbatos’s body, lays inside a glowing pool of liquid mana, a pool she used several times when battling the Demon Emperors to rejuvenate and heal her body after suffering devastating injuries. This specially-created…
Confessor Vulpanix surveys Hell Harbor’s devastated landscape. Using her psionic powers, she conducts a sweep of the entire planet several times, examining every nook and cranny without moving a muscle. The results prove dismal. [Duke Ose. Emperor Ose. Whatever your title is… you have utterly failed at your job. You were tasked with maintaining the…
Ose cackles maniacally while spinning the ball-and-chain Mjolnir around herself. Unlike Bael, who only ever used Camael’s personal weapon as a simple smashing device, Ose wields it with a level of adeptness he could never achieve. She uses her new body’s strength and her soul’s speed to spin the flail around herself more than fifty…
