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.

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.

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 […]

The Tyrant Lord of Nightmares walks the earth free. The Harbinger of the Inferno. The Destroyer of Dreams. The Dread Hierarch of Nightmares.
