As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m currently working a bit on a side project of making a D&D adventure module. I’d like to take a break from the story I’m writing to work on this. For now here’s an excerpt I’ll share: Introduction It was over a year when you first heard it.… Continue reading Nyl The Lost City
[I almost forgot to write today!] The alien led them along similar hallways to that of the other ship. Arthur began to wonder how any of them found their way around in a ship like this. However, for the alien, it seemed to be not a problem at all, and they were brought into a… Continue reading Defenders (Part 27)
“Yes,” Lindsey answered the alien. “We were attacked on the way here. We’re all that made it I think.” The alien’s face made what Arthur could only guess was a concerned expression. “Very well, I’m sending an override to your shuttle to dock at section C74. We’ll debrief you soon.” And with that, the line… Continue reading Defenders (Part 26)
It wasn’t much longer until Lindsey slowed down the ship from faster than light and a grouping of several vessels like the one the one they had just abandoned came into view. Each one was docked around a central hub ship that was shaped like a wheel. The wheel section rotated slowly around a center… Continue reading Defenders (Part 25)
“Hi, I’m Arthur.” He offered his hand to the Asain boy sitting next to him who started at it for a moment before taking it. “I’m Zach.” He answered griping Arthur’s hand now in a firm handshake.

Smaller ships hung down in racks with what Arthur could see was the void of space below. “To… Continue reading Defenders (Part 21)
“Dispatch the drones to repel the borders.” The captain yelled. “We have to get the recruits out of here. Come.” He said to them as he walked past off the bridge, reaching down to a small square strapped to his belt and a rifle appeared in his hands. Two soldiers fell into line behind him.… Continue reading Defenders (Part 19)
Everyone stood there silently after that. Arthur noted the grim expressions on their faces reflected in his own. He wasn’t sure he’d want to risk his life like that, but at the same time, that reality felt very far off. Besides, what was he going to go back to on earth? The captain had just… Continue reading Defenders (Part 18)
The captain paused as the tall recruit raised his hand. “Yes?” he asked. “I don’t know if I’m really the military type.” He said with a rough British accent. “You sold me on the sci-fi adventure part but the rest of this,” he gestured to the uniforms. “Seems less like Guardians of the Galaxy and… Continue reading Defenders (Part 17)
