Ever since the maiden voyage of the Daeltoth had met its Failure, Blius had wondered what the reason was behind the crafts demise, what had caused the crash into Lothir Prath392Please respect copyright.PENANAFxXkiCanNL
His memory was fuzzy, not sure what happened. Blius Tien knew that The scientist Ylrie had been tinkering in the lab of the Dael’tloth on something .Unfortunately Blius missed the opportunity to ask him about it.
Blius knew that the creature called the Anakar was particularly Interested in what the scientist had been doing at that time. Of course Ylrie was always, nervous and secretive ,and somewhat clumsy , and always tried to avoid contact as much as possible .
Ever since the first encounter with the Anakar, Blius had never left without a Weapon,
He had his Plasma lance slung over his shoulder, just in case he needed it, never be unprepared to fight. He coughed the mechanism from the wound below his eight chambered heart, phased between a lush green, and a Deep maroon, he thumped it hard with his palm, and reverted back , Blius thought back to the time he had been shot when the fighting hindmen and that strange ritual one performed with his blood, that depicted the Sacred Symbol, he clicked and whirred thoughtfully as he grasped wicked looking knife and slid it into the crude Sheath on his combat belt.
It was not long till he found himself waiting in the Infirmary, where other quadrupedal insectoids scuttled about, minding their own business.He awkwardly brushes past them the wound from his leg which aggravated from the recent crash,had opened up again, puss oozed out, Blius grimaced as he attempted ignoring it. He knew he was not up to the best of condition.
He limped past the room where the pilot Kith Irrin has been intensive care, whom was hooked up to several monitors as chemicals were pumped into his body. ”Damn bastard” Blius thought to himself, The medic of Blius’s Crew, Deima as always was by his side.
Blius’ chest Monitor beeped steadily as the apparatus connected to his heart, turned a Sickly Grey and pulsed with an asynchronous fervor, he coughed his Octagonally set jaws sprayed a Bright orange Sludge onto the floor. the Iadath swore. The machine had been damaged in the crash. And the Replacement was not quite finished, he took a moment to glance out of the the viewport Some the enslaved beastal Vliska had dragged the remains of the ship to the Repair dock , and Worker drones begun to Set up a new hull. The ship moaned in a high pitched but guttural kreening, this would always make Blius uneasy , as it reminded him of his offspring, Daal’ti of which he had named it the ship. Dael’toth, or The Undying Spirit, as well as honored by his ancestor Othir Morith , who was Called the Eternal Warrior
Othir Ironically had died of Lekriothirs an unfortunate disease of which the body begins to digest the afflicted host, day by day, until all that was the bones and exoskeleton, Blius was glad he hadn’t bore witness to his ancestors final days. Even so before Blius left for the war he knew, his ancestor was dying, and had had seen its effects emerge on Othir.
Blius reminisced about the past often, were he off Fighting the hindmon , or was it the humen. Ahh he found the word .Human Yes the Humman. He sounded it out. The word clicking out in a drawn out hum. Pesky creatures, still stuck on their little planet. Destroying their planet for something as meaningless as slips of paper, he found that fact alone so infantile and perplexing, it downright bothered him More than it should have. The humans where more complex that he could imagine. He read little on the Histories of The earth, seeking how this other specie had lead, he found information about them he had to consult Ulta Elae. His first Propagation partner and The Archivist For his division.
The humans languages, he tried to pronounce a few words, but faltered, he could understand roughly 12.he could not speak all of them His mind was not built like the Archievers. The most difficult being English. But unlike his mate Ulta Elae; the Archivist. Now she was something. Her knowledge of lexical histories exceeded that many times over. In total including other species dialect her knowledge neared 3,068.49 she even knew of the more Scientifics of each language.
Even Ylrie was impressed with her knowledge , when She joined up with his crew, which was until he learned she was an Archivist. After, There was a tension between the two.
What She had been the point of many discoveries, This included scientific studies Including DNA analysis of nano-atomic nucleotides of brain matter of different species, she had along with Ylries research team been able to rebuild the brains of Several Extinct species. And leaned to genetically engineer our species to create reinforcements.
Blius had admired Ylrie’s resiliance to working with An archivist, but He, blius was not really concerned about that, they managed to work fine together The Trimorphic Sinnatite. Blius thought back to when development of its uses where in its early years such it when the research division had used it as the energy source for the Plasma Lances. But it was a new discovery that surfaced recently that. Ulta Elae described the key component in the process alloying for many years to be , The advancement and Development team, described it as asurprisingly versatile substance, its gaseous form was able to reverse the effects of decomposition. Effectively preserving the body, Unfortunately this discovery was too late For the Recently deceased Othir Morith.
The Trimorphic Sinnatite became fairly useful when preserving Decommissioned organisms Biotechics; In a hash contrast its benefit was also its most severe side effect, as it messed with the biological clocks and ones perception of time would be skewed. Including whatever had been exposed to it. Namely that would entail Blius’ entire species,. This heightened exposure from mining to the substance messed with their very DNA, Further than it already had been. He found it peculiar that this same substance that caused there specie wide conversion, had so many benefits
Blius had wondered if that was true. If the crash of the Daeltloth was even the scientists Fault at all. Because And by using it in the BioTech experimentation, the Sinntatite could have hindered the growth and fusion of The Dael’toth larval stage.
As Blius crawled steadily along the near endless hall . Drones began to Feed the Dael’toths organism. But it seemed rather picky today than of its prior feedings, it lashed out, several unfortunate drone workers got caught by the Dael’toths tentacles and were consumed along with the massive Scrap heap that was used for energy ,much better than the wastes that the humans let buildup.
But, if one were to leave the Bio-mechanism alone for too long , it would throw a fit and begin to begin to consume itself for energy. Blius shuttered as he heard the echoes of the Drones screeching. Never really could predict how the Biotech would act after it had been damaged, It was almost as if taking care of a newborn, one difference is that one could very well remove one of your fingers in an outburst; the other one, being very capable of killing you if you weren’t careful. Blius that his cruiser had fits, like any other organism but he could tell that the Dael toth enjoyed lashing out as it would whir its maw and a bright glow would pulse along its entire length. and it would always manage to catch a stray drone worker, or Vliska that had gotten a too curious. But once it had its prey it would toy with whatever has become its snacks…
The Dael’toth had Been in its tenth Stage of development, when it had taken its maiden voyage, it must have developed slower than usual. It was calculated that it should have been ready to fly, A quarter of a sub-cycle about the equivalent 2 more months, before it should have. But it had already had showed signs of Maturing. Blius clicked with a hint of sadness, remembering the good things don’t always last.But at least the ship had another chance , More than he could say than of his Daal’ti, the little one having died in infancy.
Blius had not liked the direction his thoughts were heading forced himself to think of other things. if he had to guess , there was a 89.9 likelihood bet the Biomechanic, who was the most recent member of his team, and the name of , he knew the he constantly forgot. Was down and Ylrie had been fiddling in the lab on the east end of the base, where they usually Resided, he wondered if they ever slept, If at all at all.
Ever since The day of the crash all. Ylrie could go on about was an even newer breakthrough of the Trimorphic Sinnatite. This being the focus of their attention. Something Ylrie described as “Entinkri Eireimis”, the True Equalibrium.
When Blius entered the lab he asked Ylrie what at happened, Ylrie had described the crash of the Daeltloth, as a Quadronic Anion Fissure, as the event of this Entinkri, he said that now he was trying to duplicate that result, which he had on the Dael’tloth. It was to Blius’ displeasure to discover that Ylrie had caused the Crash, but he was relieved that it was just an accident.
Their Queen, Icataani Geliisus , and the members of the Kelr Gilth Conglomerate had suspended him from duty, For a full sun cycle. A 29 month year. He was told not to fool with the Unknown else it could be the “catalyst to the unforseen” the birth of the age of destruction. Of which The Desolation would consume us, like it had our Creator.”
Unfortunately Blius knew that it was too late, as events wher already set in motion as the legends of the Sacred Symbol had spread like the vines Of kyathyra . it had Drawn In Blood of The wounded, Blius was the only one to see it , Blood In a circle and like a galaxy it had three curved prongs outward , originally it was thought to represent the age of ascension. That was until Ultae had discovered a long lost relic in the Annik Tethir Ruins. of The Archive of Issil’Tal, of which explained the years leading up to the Iadath conception.
It was from beyond Blius’ time, but he knew Icataani looked down upon scientists with both fear and distain, legends before his time; say that she is the First of the Iadath. Undoubtedly, if this is true, She Resembled less of what he was more so of that of what our species used to be, which not too different from the humans.
Blius remembered Tales , from when he was young , of how they came to be, It was not Some Deity of the past Ages, like some of the humans believed, but a byproduct of the twisted imaginings of a psychotic scientist , who Though unintentionally his demise became the father Of the Altered “Monstrosities”.
It was not a dismal fate that the rest of the Iadath had developed naturally, Icataani bore horrible scars, and marks. But she differed from the rest She had the set of legs that she could hide with a body that ‘was reminiscent of what she once was and the four legs on her abdomen, and two sets of arms. One set remained hidden behind her, wrapped in chains of times past. Her humanoid body could detach from her main one. tendrils trailed off her back connecting the body to the rest, behind her , He was never sure how she managed it, Blius always wondered what it would be like to be Human, and judging from how she walked like them, it wouldn’t be so difficult. He looked down at his own clawed ends and how they dug into the Soft Ground of the queens sanctuary and then looked at her “feet”, then descreetly chuckled. He was surprised she hadn’t fallen over.
Again Blius looked at the chains Queen Icatanni still had the chains from years of Torturous experiments, wrapped around the soft curvaceous body which she often hid with the harder protective shell of her grafted exoskeleton. Blius had only seen this one other occasion, in his entire life , and seeing it again still was just as shocking. He wondered why she kept them.
Icataanni is the queen mother to all the Iadath, having birthed 34 initial generations, Overseen 941 Generations. And she never seemed to age, something about the early experimentation of the Trimorphic Sinntatite had slowed her aging process to a mere crawl. But that record had been corrupted, to unforeseen solar interference, so its duplication was impossible
It was now Blius Tien felt so young in her presence; just like the day he was promoted after he first joined the Conglomerate.
What remains in the Archives is documentation from the years Following the Incident. The first generation of Iadath where converted in a similar fashion the Queen, on less torturous scale and more of a global scale. Yet with These orbital machines which now provide useful forms of stellar communications, started as a false hope to secure our world of strife, and with them, The Vile Creator used it to channel a kind of mutagenic energy. Unlike her, the “firsts” had quickly died out, but the younger the younger conversions lived longer than the last, using some of her blood that had been genetically engineered to reproduce itself. Now the Iadath live roughly two hundred and fifty years, if they aren’t killed or become diseased of course.
These are just thought and How ever it may be read, Since the journey to wherever Blius was summoned was not that particularly interesting, and As if any human were to get there claws on it, they may find this recording dull and boring. As they probably would since, they are ignorant fools who would kill off their own planet, for selfish gain. It is understandable that what is said in this log maybe in the realm of what humans refer to as useless banter, or “bullshit”. And as far as Blius was concerned they are heartless and bloodthirsty, and its not likely they’d care anyway. That was hardly part of a logistical standpoint and the likely hood would be asked to face another woiuld be slim. Hopefully.
But besides that our return to why, the queen is mentioned at all, after all she had summoned Blius, the rest of his crew. Along with the functional members of the Kelr Gilth Conglomerate, And one of the odd Creatures that referred to itself as an Anakar, the reptilian, Jidek Nalius.
Peculiar, creature he was. Not like the humans. Battle scarred , The bio-mechanic had rigged up some replacement parts for him, an Eye , Arm and a grafted Blade , of that the Anakar said would replace the one that his had lost when Blius had fought him.
Somehow the creature still beat Blius, and the Iadath to this day wondered what technology the Repillian had used to do so.
Blius stood firmly before the Queen once again. The Queen never had spoken, and was incapable of speech, at least , coherent, She needed a translater for that regard, her tongue , was foreign to most, even Ultae. All Except for Blius whom had the innate ability to understand her, without translation.
This was what was here for. Once again, but Thought nothing of it. It was just about now.
Blius had some vague memory, as the memory of the battle of with the humans played out in his head. He Took out a Display and projected out memories of the The Sacred symbol , the one that the human had Drawn in his blood , echoed in the recesses of his memory , Blius hadn’t told anyone what he had had seen.
He was almost halfway with the Uplink with the design, when the Anakar swiped the display from Blius hands. He stared blankly at where the Display had been with his main set of eyes. The other two sets looked around, I fixated them on the Anakar, to Blius’ surprise he had projected the Image as well but Jideks uplink had been far quicker and in more detail. How did it know about the Sacred Symbol?
It was as if Ultae could read his thoughts. “Derivations of this symbol”, Ulta Elaes' toothy wormlike like maw clicked with Excitement , “had existed In Celtic cultures among the humans, had come to be called the Triskelion, apparently somehow shares Roots The Sacred Symbol has been in our culture as far back as 5045 BI (Before Incident), but it has it has Existed far longer than that.”
“There is some truth to that.” Jidek had continued, “ toward myincreasing understanding of your world. This symbol hails From a world Quite Different from your own, of the Alesaerii tells of a unity between three fallen ages, furthermore it also represents the creator gods of the Arisen, separated into three parts the Ikhreis- Physical Being, what you callthe Entinkrii- the Essence of Reality and Time, and the Arroras, the Eternal Consciousness’.”
The latter of the two create that of the void, Which I my brethren Traveled through.
He Growled. But having been caught off guard by your presence and thrust into the midst of a war between your kin, the Collective Energies had been left to the Essence of the Void. We had to intervene, and To Test your worth. Unfortunately, the Anakar are headstrong and honorable with Our legions , became caught up in the heat of battle.” There where too many deaths to travel back, without the Entinkrii it is impossible.” “And we need to get back To Terra Sol quickly.” The four eyes of the reptilian fixated on Ylrie, who clicked his claws nervously. “We?” Blius questioned blankly.
“I Believe You have the object of which I speak, Ylrie, as I recently heard about the particular Crystalline Sphere appearing to now be in Your possession…” The scientist swallowed uneasily his six eyes darting around wildly. As he stumbled, muttering to himself, he procured the remains of a Crystalline sphere ands well as a fully constructed duplicate that and placed them in the Anakar’s outreached palm.
The Anakari Then promptly discarded the duplicate on the ground and crushed it with a raptor-like foot. Blius noticed that Ylrie became frantic, his skin turned a white with a milky transparency, when the Reptilian did this. Jidek saw this, and grinned. “Not to worry, nervous little bug” he tauntingly remarked, with the The Original fragments in hands closed both of his Claws around them, waited a moment. When he opened them the sphere was exactly like the duplicate had been before. Complete. Were Blius’ Eyes playing tricks on him?
Jidek picked up the Shattered duplicate and handed the remains back to Ylrie.
Blius saw a–well… Blius couldn’t describe he saw, as looking at the object at caused his head to hurt, it was quite Unsettling.
Diema, had restlessly stood beside Kith the entire time. Kith kreed with laughter, at Ylrie's display of clumsiness. This became quite irksome, Blius grabbed one of the pilots’ hind legs, and pulled it out from under him kicking out the other. Diema noticed this a moment too late, the 3 sets of her eyes having been focused on the reptilian. With an air of confusion, Kith toppled, landing on his back, tried to regain his balance. Blius said, “Kith, you know Ylrie is not keen of being made a fool of? Show some maturity.”, once again, Blius clicked with irritation. Deima calmly crouched down, “I think you may have been a bit too hard on him.” Realizing that he was still connected to bio-kinetic Canisters of regenerator. Blius thought, Oh well, he’ll learn. Tough Shit, he attempted to say, as the damn hindmen and, would their idiotic languages. But continued in hykaen, “I apologize for the interruption, my reptilian friend.” Blius whirred his maw with complete sincerity.
“You and I, Blius are both Great warriors, and we both care about protecting own, despite that quite spectacular display.” Blius appreciated his amusement. It was even more interesting that the Anakar remarked while helping Kith up.
Jidek continued, “yes, believe it or not I was once much like yourself, stern Ruthless but that was far from different in times. “Jidek’s tongue slithered out like that of the Annunakki, as he said “Only after traveling the void had come to realize this. As when traveling the void , you perceive the unperceivable, and your mind is opened up to traverse your own subconsious. ”
“Alche.” Jidek cleared his throat, as he held the sphere up to the light. “It is this artifact I need to be able to return home, as well as needing it to go to Terra Sol, it is my duty to make aware my intentions. From your Queens mind, I saw the world you saw. Reality, does not just consist of the world I hail from. Yours and the Humans world is proof that it is not alone. It is clear to me that the fate of these worlds are intertwined.”
“All our worlds will suffer the act of a mutual destruction at the hands of this darkness. This symbol at the center of it all,” he pointed at the sketch. “But how it plays out is no longer of my concern. After this next journey I have already seen my fair share of wonders.” The Reptilian continued, “But I can tell you what you need to know about the world of Aerys, and The Alesaerii, decedents of Alistair, The first Redeemer of Souls.”
It was quite a while till the Anakar had finished. But Blius had come to understood that The world Jidek Nalius had come from, Aehrys, a world of mystical happenings, and this Alistair the Redeemer the ancestor of the most current decedents of a bloodline of gold a people called Alesaerii ruled this world. A Dark threat loomed in shadows , the presence of something it called ‘Skyborne Fractures appeared , after an event of massive proportions, a crazed being named Kyeris Feruli of Solacin, sounded oddly like that of the stories of and noted The name as Familiar to that of the Vile Creator Kythir Fraal.
This evil Kyeris had willingly sacrificed himself to the void after committing a genocide just to raise an undead army of beings with him as their leader to the thing the Reptilian kept referring to as the Void, the army reborn as dragon-creatures known as Deikar, of Which the Anakar closely descend. But Kyeris was no more, Whatever became of him, was a mystery.
Then Rumors of a Dark Mist know as The Formless spread a path of Destruction wherever it had its army lead. It had come to gain form with passage of time , and possessed Lord Vorik Karasied, known as The Inheritor Incarnate. The Devowering Shadow. The Saethakii, or Shadeborne.
Then Jidek told the Iadath of prophesy from an ancient, unknown time. The Earth-bound Hunter; the Windswept Warrior and The Redeemer Reborn of ancient prophesies have left forlorn. The age of Rebirth, of which worlds align, halves combine, spark an orgy of Chaos, Destruction and a battle between that of space and time. A bout between beings of common lineage, both have grown their wings, One emerges from thickening Blood and Cold Skies, mourned by queens and kings in mind, and other blooms in pleasant Streams and Everlasting Shine. Of which the Daemons of old corrupt the land. In times of war are fought where the Gems of the gods are unified apart. The earth-bound hunter seeks the Dragons Blades in the darkness. The Wingless Hunter, his foes downed, the Redeemer Reborn, are amongst common ground.
Down As the wings of common hearts Unfurl and epics unfold and the bonds of life become untied , As the Fearless lose their pride , fearful of the Shadow-borne. The Reign of the Incarnate Supreme” “This fate, of this Vision pristine, has an end that is yet to be seen.”
Blius had never heard such Epic tale in a long time. He latched to every word with the utmost curiosity.
