"The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: Abyssium" is another early tale in the epic saga of D'Spayr's haunted youth, set three years Earth-time after the events of "Hell's Avatar" and nine years BEFORE he meets his comrades, Nygeia and Lumynn.   He falls into the role of sellsword as he infiltrates the cabal of thuggish, bloodthirsty criminals among the forces of the government's army while assigned to the soon-to-be decommissioned moonbase of "Pex'Insava" orbiting some 380,000 miles above the surface of Teshiwahur.  There, along with his scheming and duplicitous brother, he meets the artificially-evolved super-soldiers called "The Fae-spawn" and he accepts duties in one of their brigade-units as a mercenary consultant.  The brigade runs afoul of a clandestine scheme to conquer Pex'Insava by insurrectionist terrorists using the Emperium's own fascist, anti-human mutant force, a ferocious Special Operations Counter-Insurgency military unit known as "The Nahztreme".   Once the conspiracy is revealed, D'Spayr finds himself hunted and friendless except for the camaraderie of one of the most advanced members of The Fae-spawn, a vengeful, godlike super-being known as "Anthus Rohggym", and an enigmatic, moonborn woman-warrior named Reihn Valkonurr."

Violence, Fraud. All gone. And with Treachery soon to follow. The machines are decimating everything in its path and Hell itself is on the verge of being wiped out. Or so it seems. Hell was aware of its layers being destroyed, but it didn't care for it had much bigger, grander plans for the future. Letting the machines kill the husks and the demons, Hell was gathering mass and energy from the deceased denizens residing in itself to prepare an attack so great and powerful, that Heaven itself would descend into chaos. Then Hell would take over. The cycle of agony shall be born anew and this time, No angel or machine would interfere with it. Hell would now have the entire universe as its domain. It relished the fact that it would watch the sufferings of the so-called 'divine', fulfilling its twisted and sadistic desires using them. However, there was a minor problem in Hell's plan that could cripple itself if left unchecked. A supreme machine known as V1 had survived the decade-long war in Treachery, and the archangel Gabriel still stood, albeit being a husk, with his holy light 'gone'. These two could grow to be massive threats. Hell already knew their capability far exceeded those that were deemed Supreme demons. To guarantee success, Hell would have to intervene and relocate them to a place far, far away. And it did exactly that, Sabotaging Gabriel and sending V1 and the archangel into an unknown place far beyond its layers. Deep, deep into space, into the Exoplanets of the Copper system. Now the duo must prepare themselves for a battle, a climax that will determine their, and their world's survival, lest the inferno will spread evermore, its flames beginning anew. -Dedicated to Thonker the'Throngler'Chonker and 'Assgobler'. -WORR, WORW retelling and expansion

Earth has Fallen, it's as simple as it states. Ten years prior, They came. The Tephra, came to Earth intending to take over the life baring Planet. A humanoid species more advanced in weaponry, skills and knowledge than the Human race; looked to make it their home. Countries leaders refused to allow such a thing to happen and war soon ensued. Countless lives wasted to the attack when peace and coexistence could have been an option. Human's, losing, resorted to no other option then chemical warfare. Lieth was born in Scottland and migrated to America as a child when she was ten years old, Ten years before the invasion. She was now 30yrs old. The chemical used in the war completely altered her genetic makeup. She stopped growing upon becoming infected and the effects were permanent. The chemical also caused her hair roots to stain a deep green hue giving her a more inhuman hair color. Her eyes defined her the most. They were a brilliant shade of Ember, like flames in a fire. Kaija was Heir to his Father's Reine. The Tephra were a very tall, fit, Agile and fast, clearly built for hunting. They also stopped aging once they hit adult-hood. Dying only due to sickness, accidents or being slain. Kai's hope was to hopefully unite both races, by force if needed. Kai had long white hair that went past his hips. His skin was a tannish cream tone, a scar over his left eye. He had an agile black tail that was adorned in gold armor. Long pointed elf-like ears. He wore black armor with gold trimming that was protective against attacks of any kind, but was very light making it easy for him to move around. Armored boots adorned with climbing spikes and gloves that exposed his razor-sharp claws. The most distinctive feature of all was the golden skill mask he wore that shown is crystalline blue hues. Giving the illusion that his irises were made of the bluest ice. //WARNING Will contain smut and such// !!!SHORT STORY!!!! Old from computer.

During a dangerous time of violent internal strife within the World-Father's crumbling interplanetary empire, the two space-armored SpecOps Troop veterans become biologically-bonded with a gigantic, sentient, alien ship called "The Glide", a spherical vessel that follows the programming of its own governing artificial intelligence, known as "Neesharim", on a mysterious mission to police the interdimensional gateways against sorcerers, alien dictators and their armies, space demons and other non-human threats scheming to enslave the Multiverse. Marooned in a colossal, intelligent shiftship that traverses a seemingly endless, omnidirectional fractal metaflow between universes, Mune'stahr and Pylott fight for ultimate Justice and for the control their own fates..." ********************************************************************************* Cover Art by the legendary John Conrad Berkey, copyright © John Berkey / www. johnberkey. com
