The dense greenery of the jungle suddenly stops and opens up to huge chasm. At the bottom runs a wide river. On the other side dozens of giant orange rock pillars a rise from the landscape, over a hundred meters high, their tops about level with the jungle edge where Nyla is standing. The height is dizzying. Some of the pillars are quite narrow, only a dozen or so meter in diameter. Others especia...
Orion runs as fast as his legs can carry him over the misty tundras of the Snowdrift Steps. Snow crushes rythmicly as one foot lands, absorbing the impact, his weight shifting over it, trough the momentum, before using the stored energy to push off. Then doing it all over again with his other foot. Over and over.
If he keeps this pace there is a small change he'll reach Havenbrook in time to get ...
Yves puts one foot in front of his other. Again. And again. What is the point? He thinks to himself. Where am I going. What am I going to do there. What will be waiting for me.
It has been seven days since the van had been attacked by the Aubrough. Seven days since Mase...
...well best not to think about that.
Seven days of walking trough the hot rocky red desert that is the Koschei Valley. Yve...
It happened again, the whole subway is frozen in place. The cart stopped moving, the busker is standing there, mid song, with his guitar, the baby stopped crying. And the rest of the people? Well you wouldn't really know right? They are all still staring at their phones anyway.
But you know what is weird? I never really realized it until now, but when the time freezes, so does smell. It's actuall...
Deep in the hart of an untamed jungle, two adventures, Sparky and Guz finally lay eyes on an ancient temple.
They had tracked for days trough the hot dense jungle of Castrovel to find it. Foliage had closed around them like some sort of living maze. But Gus's resolve and Sparky's magic had made it so they could prevail trough the wilderness.
Now, here, in this open clearing they can finally see...
Bzzt, Bzzt, the world glitches with a voxelated effect; cubes shake in to place and disappear, as a blue hue makes place for full color, while Logistic and Maintenance Droid 3 restarts.
LM3 begins a physical systems check. No areas of major damage detected. Limited movement in right arm and hand. Require basic maintenance.
They then try to access their data banks, bits and pieces of information ...
The white egg shaped transport pod comes to a halt in front of Demi, the shiny glass front smoothly opens upward with a satisfying his of the hydrolic pistons. A friendly A.I. voice of CAM invites her to take a seat in one of comfortable looking chairs facing each other, two on each side. The door closes.
Demi drops in to one of the front facing chairs. The voice asks where she would like to go.

What the actual fuck? Who does that? Why would you put your self out into the world like that? Do you have no self respect? And as matter of fact, what is wrong with me? why haven't I pressed the Pass button yet? I should, but this is so intriguing. How much do I want to know the story? I don't really want to talk to a person...
The strange gigantic metal structure sticks out of the endless ice tundras of the Snowdrift Steppes. Bigger than anything man made that Nyla has ever seen for sure, she thinks to her self as she steps out of the tracked bus-like vehicle.
Last night the whole town of Havenbrook was woken violently by a roaring hum from the skies. Nyla, always the night owl, had yet to go to bed, and was one of the...
