Leon was a Titan, a Guardian whose job on the frontline was to provide the heavy armor and firepower needed to break through even the thickest of enemy defenses. He was a human tank, and he had only gotten better at it since he had lost his power of speech. He devoted more time to […]

Dream For Me
Kappa stared at the clothe in his hands, but did not truly see it. It was heavy, thick and dyed a deep burgundy. It would be his outer layer over a light suit of combat armor, but more importantly for him at the moment, it had been a gift. A parting gift. He looked up […]
A Hunter’s Journey (Full Story)
Hey, guys. So, I recently finished my short story, and it comes out to about 43 pages. As such, I decided I’d just go ahead and post all of it here instead of having to post multiple things and make people look through them to read the whole story. Thanks to everybody who commented and […]
Introversion in the Key of D Minor, Chapter 2
Leon sat near one corner of the locker-room, donning his armor. In the far corner was Angela and Dan. They were talking a little too quietly for Leon to hear, but as he got himself ready, he watched them thoughtfully. Leon remembered all the things that had happened over the last five years. It all […]
Introversion in the Key of D Minor, Chapter 1
The screaming. The hellish screaming. When would it end? It was everywhere, and yet they never saw the beasts until they were right upon them. Those monsters.

Robust and ever-dependable, it had stood for centuries, and would have to stand a thousand more. The alternative […]
The Vanguards of Dead Orbit – Chapter Five
As the titan goes as fast as he dare down the rusted stairway he hears the sound of a massive explosion, the stairway shakes underneath his feet. He hangs on to the railings hoping that the aged steel continues to hold. As the vibrations cease he continues to make his way towards his team, […]
Godshaker
The table in front of Traxis is littered with little bits and parts, spare pieces collected from weapons gathered up over the long years of roaming in the wilds, all pre-City. The weapons themselves are long gone, many damaged beyond repair during the heat of one battle or another. Others were simply sold or traded […]
Revival of the Past
Leon set down the assault rifle he had been carrying the last hour-and-a-half before sitting down among the debris. He still had another hour to go, judging by his map. At the moment, he was in some kind of dam control structure on the Nile, left over from the Golden Age. Outside, it was lush; […]
