A New Name (Not really?)

It’s certainly been a while, I now named this site Zelastar from Starfinity. A lot has happened in my life, from moving to a new state, writing a book, having life-saving surgery, and changing one brand name for another. I tend to struggle with updates and keeping up as life has been a lot lately. […]

Survivor under the Nightmare

Edith whispered and babbled as her heart pounded with deathly intensity. She rested against a cave’s maw, pressed between the cold, damp darkness and the shadowy, perilous forest. All she had left was her bloody knife, a few silver pieces, and her tattered clothing. “I escaped.” Edith repeated as she clutched her bloodied clothing. “I […]

Bloom of Hatred

“Director Kelexi, should we not inform the authorities of Overwatch about the discovery? There are tales of ancient horrors…” The air snapped as a laser blasted through the human’s skull and the body fell limp. Blood splattered the wall, only to cleanly slide down as a vent’s powerful suction drained it clean. A well-dressed woman […]

The Plagued Doctor

“Okay, that finalizes you as a member of the guild. Here’s your copper guild tag. We don’t get many priests from Bathalburg here in Bristlestock.” Said Camilla with a smile in her fanciful, formal outfit. Camilla had wavy, short, black and blonde hair with cobalt eyes and beige skin. She handed the priest of light […]

The Debut

“Hey Mei, I paid my rent today.” “Yeah, Jerell? How much was it this month” “Well, about 2250 credeks.” Mei lobbed a wrench onto her beige shoulder and white tank top. “Seriously? That’s 450 more than last month, you’re already paying a huge scam! My meal this morning cost 10 credites! That’s 22500 meals with […]

Waste Duty

“It’s hella rainy today.” Yonas sighed through his wide-visored gas mask as he slipped on black boots. He was dressed like Eisha next to him, in the same drab, olive green, synthetic environmental suit. Their rugged black skin, black hair, and bright brown eyes were obscured by the bleak outfits. The rush of heavy rain […]

From the Dungeon

Over the land seethed a breathing cloud. The ground was blighted with rot. From nothing, under a sunless sea, came several adventurers. There were humans named Rhold and Klaus, a human half-elf named Akhari, and a humanly bestial zouani named Vesuni. They slowly slipped into existence, one by one, carefully observing the dead world around […]

The Absolutum Splinter-Directive

“Vynhari Nphki-Zhel, I bear a message from Vynhari Kefik.” Yi-Vel kneeled. Before Yi-Vel was the armored metal being whose broad quadra-arm visage, blazing with ambient energy, dominated the metallic platform that oversaw the cosmic port lit by an emerald sun. The being was a Vynhari: a high ranking leader. “Vynhari Kefik will support your endeavors, […]

Power Over-Underwhelming

“Computer, where am I?” “Captain Gastev, we are located outside of known coordinates.” Aleksandra sighed as she slammed the dashboard of her ship with the heel of her hand and jolted out of her chair. As she anxiously walked on the metal grating of her ship with head in hand, fear rushed through her system. […]

Arrivals in Mana

“Like whispers in the wind, we were scattered throughout the cosmos. Yet it does not matter, I am a mere watcher and architect. It does not matter where I go, it does not matter where I come from, for my grand archives endure and I must synthesize more data for my… collection. Now, agent of […]
