@Tallon!!! I'm so sorry to have missed your birthday. I was out of town this weekend and just catching up on forums. I hope it was amazing. I really, really miss you were. You are such a positive influence on our community and one of the best leaders we ever had. Plus I loved playing with you in ESO and SWTOR. Take care!

Happy Birthday! Have a great day!!!

Happy birthday @Tallon. Miss you

Hey everyone! I hope Nanowrimo is going well so far for all of you that are participating! My Nano journey has been a bit bumpy so far, but I'm staying on top of my word count goals and am proud of the progress I've made! my brain might totally be goo by the end of this though @Morgani @Jae Onasi @Laysa For a long time, I have also been on the bandwagon of "all first drafts are terrible," and have, at times, hated some of my writing. But I read something today that really changed my opinion and I would like to share it with you all! It's from a tumblr post I saw, while I was scrolling through my dash for inspiration/prompts earlier. So here is a toast to making our baby drafts the best they can be and to helping them grow! Remember to treat yourself and your writing with kindness!

@Vedian On behalf of Space-X Intergalactic, I would like to formally apologize and retract my accusations of your empire murdering our citizens. The board of directors has informed me that our branch offices in fact DO NOT hire Space-X citizens and instead are run and operated solely by local citizens of the worlds on which the offices are established. No citizens of Space-X Intergalactic were harmed in your purging of foreign planets and all liaisons and representatives of Space-X Intergalactic have returned safely within our borders. This apology however, does not mean we agree with your methods; while the Lozavatans were indeed in breach of contract, your actions in settling the matter were deemed as a bit too extreme. Don't take it the wrong way though, we value the benefit and assistance you bring to the galaxy and simply don't wish to see you turn into another "Purifier" or "Devourer." In hopes of further cooperation in a more prosperous galaxy, Ambassador A.I. Kriege of Space-X Intergalactic

Scions of Destiny The Time of Transcendence Light seems to dim and fade around you. Your senses heightened you begin looking around. A voice is heard (Your name) The voice seemed to be coming from behind you. You turn quickly around to see a darkly cloaked woman standing facing you, her hands in front of her grasping each other under her sleeves. Her face difficult to make out under the cloak. You ignite your lightsaber/draw your weapon and take aim. Who are you? I have been known by many names throughout time... Who I am you will learn in time. "What" is a far better question to ask. You feel cold while staring at this shadowy figure. It feels as if the very air around you has become dense and heavy creating a sense of pressure from all around you What do you want? I want you my child. The figure lifts her head. You can now see piercing yellow eyes that begin to glow and shift to a purple like hue as if flames are coming out from around the eyes. This lights up the face of the woman and you see a smirk across her face. (choose) Attack Don’t attack You return to your stronghold, a bit shaken from the encounter. Questions swirling around inside of you as if a storm has been awakened from within. You recall the power you felt and how it made you feel. You can feel the desire for that power grow the more you think on it. Remembering the figures words, “Quiet your mind and listen. May the Force guide you to me.” You close your eyes and try to calm the storm inside. To quiet your mind, but the chaos of the storm swirling inside you is too strong… But wait… what was that? You notice a spot of serenity from within the chaos and as if it were a voice speaking to you, you feel drawn to it as if you are being guided to this place of serenity. You feel yourself rushing to this spot among the waves of the storm within until you reach it. Your eyes snap open. Vestige of Despair’s Flagship. You quickly gather your gear and make your way to your Flagship. As you approach the Flagship you send the docking clearance codes. An Imperial operator comes across your coms. This is VoD Flagship Ascension to known vessel. Your clearance has been accepted. Welcome home. You dock and begin making your way to a secluded deck, as if you are being drawn to it. As you enter the room you see 7 others in the room waiting. You see the Overlord Avalee at the head of the room pacing back and forth. To the left side of the room you see a woman you haven’t met before. She is crimson in color of Sith decent. Her arms crossed as she leans against the wall wearing what seems to be unique armor of cloth and metal. As you approach Avalee you once again feel the presence you felt before. You look back to the entrance of the room to see the cloaked woman from before enter and slowly walk to the head of the room where Avalee is standing. She gets to Avalee’s side and turns around to face everyone. Welcome my children. I know you all have many questions and by making it this far you have earned the right to know my name. I have been known by many names throughout time, but to you I am the Divine Empress Miko-kiri. Your Overlord Avalee sought me out and we struck a deal. You all have been chosen to transcend beyond your mortal coils into something more. Today I gift you with immortality and but a small sample of the power you can obtain, but remember…What is given can also be taken away… The Empress takes her arms, palms up, and reaches them out in front of her. Swirling power begins to emanate from her hands and expands out as she raises them above her head. You feel cold and as if the weight of the galaxy is on your shoulders forcing you down to your knees. You can’t breathe. You feel as if you are dying. Panic begins but once again almost as if a voice is guiding you, you feel that serenity once again. Power begins to surge through you. You engulf in purple flames as if they are coming off of you. You hear the Empress speak… Embrace the power my children. From the ashes of your former existence you must rise!! Become Harbingers of Death! Saviors of the Galaxy! Allow yourself to become one with Destiny! Now RISE my Scions of Destiny!!! As her final words are spoken you feel empowered like nothing else before. The weight you once felt has become so light you feel as if you could float. The power in the room dissipates as the Empress lowers her hands and you stand once more. As you look around it is like you are seeing for the first time. Everything appears the same yet so different. You can’t make sense of it. The Empress begins to speak once more but in a more calming tone Welcome my Scions to your first step into something more. We spoke of a price before, that you were that price. You have been chosen to be tasked as the firm hand of Destiny to maintain balance in the Galaxy. You are charged and will be called upon to take down the greatest of powers when they become unchecked. The Empress motions her hand over to the unknown woman you noticed in the room This is Mistress Azumi Yuki. She is tasked with leading you along side your Overlord into battle. Mind her power as she carries my will with her… Now go my Scions. Your training will continue through time, but for now go have fun and explore your new found power and await my call to arms. Your Overlord will continue to guide you as you await. My attention is needed elsewhere. With that, Empress Miko-kiri exits the room and disappears Congratulations and a big THANK YOU for all of you stepping up to make this group a reality!
