Daily Writings 7

Scene 1

In glassy caverns, deep beneath the dunes of an inhospitable desert, lives an ancient blue dragon named Fragor. There's almost nothing that can match his might, and he's proud of it. Every time he stretches his gargantuan body for a trip to the surface, he takes a moment to admire the arcs of electricity bouncing between his scales. When he finally takes flight, unfurling his massive wings, even the sky can't help but obey his power, as storms and lightning follow him everywhere he goes. Weak is not even a word in this creature's vocabulary. If something isn't strong, then it simply isn't worth his time.

Despite Fragor's seemingly indomitable appearance though, there is one thing that never fails to humble the proud dragon. Every time he leaves his crystalline caverns, Fragor makes a detour to a small beach to the East. While at the beach, he appears as a young and handsome human with blue hair. Wearing ancient, formal clothes, Fragor wades into the water and sits on a flat rock just beneath the waves. There he sings a sad song about two lovers whose families wouldn't let them be together. The couple decided to ignore their families though, and ran away together. Times were hard, and the couple would often question their decision, but they would eventually spend many, many, happy years together. All things come to an end though, and the song concludes with a fierce battle between the lovers and their family. Eventually, the lovers win, but one succumbs to their injuries, dying at sea.

As Fragor stops singing about his love, he pats the rock below him, speaking to what is actually the skull of his deceased lover, "Asimi, I miss you more with every passing day…" After a moment of silence, Fragor walks away from the beach, once more returning to his life as a powerful, proud, and lonely ancient blue dragon.

Narrative Game 14

Queen Medusa Heading towards Medusa, you check in on the rest of your crew. Fortunately, they report back quickly. Unfortunately, they're busy taking care of all the other Gorgons, so they can't offer much in the way of help. You do manage to get ahold of the Argos though, and they inform you that they only have enough parts for one more augment, but they should be able to send it over as soon as you choose which you'd like. Choose from: [Wing Blades] [Cloaking] [Force Field] //For the sake of this draft, I will be writing it as if the Wing Blades were chosen You inform the Argos that you would like the Wing Blades, and within seconds they appear through the circular portal in front of you, clipping onto your ship underneath the wings. The Wing Blades don't only give you a bigger wingspan, but they also release small bursts of energy. They have a bit of a cooldown, but these bursts not only make cutting easier, but also help you reach top speed almost instantly. It isn...

Narrative Game 13

A Revenge Not So Sweet The new augment makes getting to the braided up Gorgon much easier, but it isn't until Stheno is in range of your turrets that you understand its true value, as the massive braid unwinds and you are facing countless giant snake heads. *Using your wing augments, you slip between the countless heads, moving your ship as if its your own body. During your dance, you notice that a few of the heads are already burnt and can't seem to move as well. Remembering what Trion says, you realize that this must be Roland's work. Suddenly, your vision seems to go red, and you not only weave through the heads with unparalleled precision, but you also begin to fire your blaster turrets non-stop, targeting the weak points your friend left behind. Stheno's many heads screech in agony and try to strike out in waves, some even detaching before chasing you for a bit. It's no use though, as you have gained an almost mechanical precision at dealing with this Gorgon...

Narrative Game 12

 Stheno- The Mighty Caught up on what happened to the others during your battle with Euryale, you rocket towards Stheno, determined to prevent it from killing anyone else. On your way, you check in on Sam and Ga'Rook too. They answer quickly, and seem determined to avenge Roland. You warn them to be careful, but since you're doing the same thing, there isn't much else to be said. Finally, just as you cut all communication, you come across the sea of Gorgons Squad B is facing. You can see Ten and Trion weaving around the edges, barely preventing them from moving forward, but your target is at the center. Stheno, a red Gorgon comprised out of giant anacondas, all braided together into a very dangerous rope. As you lock onto your target, a message suddenly appears on your HUD. One of your ship's augments is finally ready and will be warped to your position immediately. Soon after, a swirling ring of light appears. As it dissipates, you fly directly at the augment, letting ...
