40 (DSV Nautica) Understanding
Loki sat before the Elder, whom took a seat as well, on the throne. They exchanged a flurry of mental images, without speaking one word. The Draconid processed these images. The preperations of a war against them, leading to the destruction of a star...
39 (DSV Nautica) Listening
The sky over Av'lhn, or Avalon were clear as ever, but there was as tense shift in the winds. Not the traditional winds of the planet, but more a shift in the galaxies winds of the will. They were great sweeping winds of change, being forced upon them...
38 (DSV Nautica) Through and Through

34 (DSV Nautica) Eidolon

33 (DSV Nautica) Out of power, Out of time
Lyn bowed her head, her hair hiding her face. "Ill do better...""If you don't, no more pep talks."Flare returned to the captains chair, taking a seat and pulling the ship status map. Several sections of the ship were completely dark. The rest was in...
32 (DSV Nautica) Twilight Falling

31 (DSV Nautica) Cerebri
