MerMay 2024 Day Three Village Visit

Jackie swam downwards, schools of fish parting around him as he moved quickly. It was dimly lit down here in the twilight zone, but he could see lights on the ocean floor. As he got closer, the lights revealed themselves to be glowing plants, decorating the edges of spherical rocks... and coming from holes inside them.

Shapes moved around the rocks. Some of them swam up to Jackie—revealing themselves to be a pair of older merms, a man and a woman, their tails bright red. “It’s good to see you again, Jackie,” said the woman. “Thank you for coming so quickly.”

“Of course.” Jackie nodded. “Thank you for sending the message.” The village mage had woken him up with the glowing missive sent across the waves. 

“Come, swim with us,” the man says, turning back. “We’ll talk as we go.”

The three of them dive down to the village, passing through lines of kelp. Other red-tailed merms tend to the garden, harvesting some of the kelp for food, and some to be pressed and preserved as something to write on.

“We saw the image you told us to keep an eye out for,” the woman was saying. “With the trident.”

“On a boat?” Jackie asked.

“Yes, on a boat. It passed right overhead, something dangling over the edge on a tether.”

Jackie’s attention sharpened. “What was it?”

“We didn’t dare get close enough to see,” the woman said.

“That’s... worrying. I-is anyone missing?” Jackie looked around at the other merms in the village. He saw an older merm instructing a younger one on how to weave a shirt. A few more returning from hunting with bags of fish. Others swam from house to house, visiting their neighbors.

A handful of small kids swam around, the red scales on their tails dotted with white, tossing a ball back and forth. One of them spotted Jackie and stopped short, eyes wide. She reached out to the others, tapping them for attention.

“No, not that we know of,” the older man said. “We all hid inside while it passed overhead.”

“Protector!” “Guardian!” “Hi! Hi!” The kids suddenly swarmed around Jackie, tails waving wildly.

Jackie stopped short. He looked down at them and laughed. “Hello, pups!”

“Guardian, have you ever fought a shark?” A young merm asked, his eyes wide. 

“Ooo, I bet he has!” Another shouted.

“Now, pups, sharks are very dangerous,” Jackie said patiently. “Even protectors have to be careful. We only fight them if we have to.” He grinned. “But I’m not saying I’ve never fought anything cool.”

“Tell us tell us!” A young merm pleaded.

“In a moment, okay? I have a very important talk with your elders to get to,” Jackie said patiently. “Do you all know about that boat that passed overhead?”

“When we had to stay inside?” One of the kids asked.

“Yes, exactly. That was something very dangerous. You should always listen to the rest of the village when they say to hide.”

“So that the protectors can take care of it?” the first kid asked again.

Jackie nodded. “Yep. We know what to do.” Usually. This TridentCorp business... it felt like all they could do was wait for them to make their move, staying on the defensive the whole time. Protectors like him had trained to help other merms. But how could he help them against a human group that spanned the globe? Shaking off these thoughts, he began to swam away. “I’ll be right back if you want to hear stories, okay?”

“Awww.” The kids were clearly disappointed, but they waved goodbye soon enough and went back to playing with their ball, grabbing it before it floated too far away.

Jackie followed the older merms into a building, going through a wide entrance. The inside was completely open, a hollow sphere. The merms gathered around a table, its surface lifted on a tall rock spire to be in the exact center of the room. “Tell me more about this thing on a tether,” he said.

“We’re not sure what it was, like I said, no one got close enough to see,” the woman said.

“Was it a square shape? Was one end shiny like sea glass?” Jackie persisted.

The two merms looked at each other, then back at Jackie. “Yes, indeed,” the man said.

“That might have been some sort of ‘camera’ device,” Jackie said, trying to hide his worry. “TridentCorp might know about your village.”

The woman gasped. “What should we do? Should we move? Our school has been settled here for generations!”

Jackie’s tail fluttered nervously. “If you think you must. TridentCorp wants to capture merms, to study them. They could not possibly grab all of you...” Could they? “But anyone who wanders out on their own could be in danger. You should all stay close to the village for a while. Have your mage send a message for more protectors to come help watch.”

The meeting continued for a while as Jackie helped the elders make a plan to protect their school. It was similar to other plans he’d made with other schools, but this was the first one that had a TridentCorp ship pass directly overhead. They were getting closer. He just had to hope they wouldn’t get too close before they had a solid plan.

The Yorkshire terrier, a small breed of dog weighing between 3-7 pounds as adults. Amongst its most essential progenitors, the Waterside Terrier was a small blue-gray canine with long hair, weighing between 6 and 20 pounds (mostly about 10 pounds). They like small in relation to dogs. But do non-shedding canines actually exist? So are there actually non-shedding dogs?

@taylornation my service dog, Taylor, and I loved hearing @taylorswift on Jimmy Kimmel tonight! My parents and I improvised home hospital bed holiday decor and Swiftie representation in celebration. Hope you like it!

My service dog, Taylor, and I both loved the show. Don’t let him fool you that he‘s asleep. He does this all of the time: he closes his eyes, he listens to conversations, he listens carefully as he learns new words, and he listens to pick up on anything that he already knows. He’s smart enough to concince others that he’s asleep, but he’s not smart enough for me to not pick up on his sneakiness lol (this includes: how he wasn’t snoring like he does when he’s asleep, he was tuned to me and the show–his right ear was angled to listen to me, my body, and my words while his left ear was aimed at and tuned into the screen, and how we battled–he wanted to be BASICALLY WITH HIS FACE ON THE SCREEN and I kept shoving him back so I could see the screen past his cute lil nose, and the fact that HE DOES THIS FAKE-SLEEPING ALL THE TIME AND I KNOW HIS GAMES. Lol. Even he knows that I know his games. This one I still allows him to do, as it has no health impact, he’s still precious and he’s still helping me AND, as an added bonus, he’s adorable)

He understands full sentences, listens to learn more, and picks things up. He’s a big fan, too, and has been to 3 Tay concerts. He’s a very good boy and my little (not so little) Swiftie pup

Loved watching Taylor with MY Taylor tonight. I laughed, smiled, and blogged like I always did. My disabilities and home hospital bed didn’t get in the way too much tonight with my ability to be an enthusiastic Swiftie. Instead, I decorated with what I could reach and what we have left, making tonight a celebration like I always have for fandom events. Feels nice to have a night without disability and other chaos ensuing for once, then also sharing it with both Taylors and with evermore

Loved this marvelous time tonight watching Tay on Jimmy Kimmel: my home hospital bed decorated festively and Swift-like, my body mostly cooperating, and doing everything alongside my lifeline, tiny friend, blanket-hogging (not kidding that the dog wants to be tucked in), cuddly furball, and fellow fan: MY Taylor 💘

Enby, look in a mirror. Just because you aren't enormous doesn't mean your ass is flat.

“…You aren’t serious… when did it even get this… this… round?”

Jun peered over their shoulder, studying the reflection gazing back directly at them.

Two rather spherical and shapely orbs were pictured in the glass, appearing to jiggle and occasionally sway as Jun impatiently tapped their foot against the carpeted floor. How on Earth hadn’t they noticed the immensity of their rear? And by extension, those well defined and sculpted thighs which practically radiated strength.

They full and well their constant exercising and proven routine offered consistent results, but these weren’t exactly the ‘results’ Jun was expecting overall.

“Now I’m begging to see why my pants and bang clothes have felt slightly snugger as of late. Jeez, I never realized they filled them out to this degree…” The Enby mused to themselves mentally, lips pursing into a disgruntled line. Puzzle pieces finally began connecting in their head. The sudden fascination of their hips and body from classmates, Miss Mako’s heavenly cooking and treats, and more recently that annoying clapping sound following them around like a sappy pup. It all made sense now, smacking them in the face like a baseball bat.

“Good grief what is he going to think about this, I wouldn’t doubt if that little pup already noticed.. and was enjoying the show…” Their train of thought concluded, as a rare blush began to creep onto their face… A gut feeling told them they wouldn’t be hearing the end of this anytime soon. Although that could be due to not eating dinner just yet.

[solohux]

Would you write something angsty with pregnant Omega Hux going into labor without Kylo? Perhaps after being kidnapped or severely injured and having a premature little girl who they aren’t sure will survive? Happy ending though, please.

Hux had been counting along with the gaps of each contraction but with the pain from his labour and the pain of his broken ankle and various bruises that litter his body, he’s lost count. And with the better part of a month still remaining until he’s meant to reach full term, Hux is trying his best not to panic at his early labour.

It would seem as though his captors are happy to let him suffer alone in his enclosed cell. He has no clue what planet he’s on but the basicness of his holding cell—like a small box with four solid walls and no windows—tells him that it can only be pirates looking to ransom him. Rebels wouldn’t keep a pregnant omega in such dingy holdings.

“Deep breaths,” Hux mutters to himself, sliding his trousers off and lowering himself to his knees. Whispering calming words to himself is the best source of comfort he’s got in this situation; what he needs is Kylo.

Hux prays that his alpha is tearing apart every nearby planet to look for him and their unborn child—though the latter won’t remain so for much longer. He needs to push, letting his instincts take over as he arranges his discarded jacket and pants into a pile beneath him, hoping that his baby will nestle atop them safely.

“Fuck.” Everything hurts. It’s a terrible position for his broken ankle but he isn’t his priority right now; his pup is. “Where are you, Ren? Fucking find me. Please.”

The tears are a mix of frustration and of pain as Hux bears down and pushes, biting his wrist to try to deal with the pain of the labour. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Like everything else in his life, he’d planned out the birth to the finest of details, including the first outfit that his and Kylo’s beautiful baby would wear. He would have given birth in his nest and cradled his pup all night long with their alpha watching over them, knowing that they are all safe and warm.

Not anymore. Now, he isn’t certain that his premature pup will make it.

“Ah!” Hux tries to keep his shouts and moans to a minimal but the pain is searing. His eyes are clenched shut as tears fall and cries slip through his gritted teeth. “Ren! Please.”

A few more minutes of intense pushing and Hux slumps down in exhaustion as his baby is born, falling free from him onto his pile of clothes. Her cries are a good sign but as Hux manoeuvres himself around to see her, he can’t believe how small and frail she looks. He should be happy that he’s finally meeting her and holding her, not feeling so terrified that these are the only moments that he’s going to be able to spend with her.

“Hi, darling,” he whispers to her, cutting the cord with the knife from his boot and kicking away—with his good ankle—the mess of ruined clothes covered in blood and afterbirth. He hurries to take off his undershirt—leaving him completely naked—and wraps her up in it and holds her snugly against his chest for warmth.

Despite the peril, he’s so in love with her already. She feels so familiar in his arms, such familiar features on her face; she looks just like Kylo.

“You’re so precious,” he kisses the top of her head, making sure that his shirt covers her completely. “So beautiful. We’ll be okay, darling. Your father will be here soon, okay? Let’s hold on for him, hm? He’s going to want to meet you.”

Hux shuffles back into the corner of his cell and weeps quietly, bunching himself up to keep his body as warm as he can to keep her warm. She’s all that matters now. His need to nest is driving him crazy but he hasn’t got anything to work with so he keeps talking to her to distract himself from his instincts and to, hopefully, comfort her with his familiar voice.

An explosion from outside makes the walls of Hux’s cell shake but he isn’t afraid. He’d know the sound of a Ren-made explosive anywhere; he’s here. There’s more commotion outside, the glorious sounds of his captors being struck down like the vermin they are before everything falls silent, except for the baby’s gentle cries.

Hux can feel his alpha getting closer.

The hidden door into the cell swishes open and reveals a dark silhouette in its frame, one that is tense with anger.

“Ren!” Hux can’t help but sound desperate as he cries out for his mate, watching as Kylo gestures for something to someone outside the door before rushing to Hux’s side.

He throws his helmet off and removes his hooded cape, draping around his nude omega as soon as he’s close.

“Armitage,” Kylo says softly, desperately. “Are you—?”

“I’m fine, Ren. But she needs medical attention.”

“I know,” Kylo kisses Hux’s forehead and hugs him, looking down to their fussing daughter. “I felt your pain. I knew you’d gone into labour. I followed the sounds of your cries for me through the Force.”

“Supreme Leader!” Medics and droids dash inside the cell wielding all sorts of medical instruments, including a floating incubator.

“Take her,” Hux says to the medics, allowing Kylo to gently remove her from his hold—though the alpha takes another moment to look at her and kiss her head before giving her to one of the medics to place her inside the safety of the incubator, still nestled inside her mother’s undershirt.

One of the spherical, floating droids comes closer to the little girl’s side and scans her, beeping to signal completion.

“She’ll be fine, sirs,” the head medic says after listening to one of the droid’s initial reports. “First readings show that she’s doing well for her size but will need to be watched closely for a few weeks. We’ll get her back to the ship right away.”

The Knights Of Ren are waiting silently to escort the medics and their precious cargo back to their shuttle, while Kylo has a quiet moment with Hux.

“Can you stand?” The alpha asks, making sure that his cape is covering what it can of Hux’s modesty.

“No,” he replies, gesturing to his swollen ankle. “It’s broken.”

Kylo nods before manoeuvring his omega into his arms, holding him against him like he weighs nothing. Hux breathes a heavy sigh of relief, feeling safe again now that he’s in Kylo’s arms. He nestles into him, resting his head on his shoulder.

“You must be exhausted,” Kylo says, kissing Hux’s head.

“Going through hours of labour without any pain medication and without my mate by my side? Of course not, Ren,” Hux huffs, feeling so incredibly sleepy. “It’s just what omegas do.”

Kylo chuckles quietly, “I don’t doubt your strength, Armitage.”

“I would have been stronger with you beside me,” Hux says, unable to stop his quiet purring. “I hate that you weren’t there with me, and she didn’t meet you straight away.”

“I felt her in the Force. She’s a fighter.”

“I know,” Hux says as they exit the ruins of the pirate’s hideout and board the ship with their pup’s incubator next to them.

Kylo keeps Hux in his lap whilst medics work to look at his injuries and find some fitting clothes for him but both parents are just fixated on their baby girl, staring at her through the clear material of her floating incubator.

It may not have been the birth that Hux wanted to have but their daughter is here and all is well.

Along Tides of Light - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - the rescue of Liara T'Soni as told by a very thirsty (and also dehydrated) asari maiden. https://www.patreon.com/posts/53939916 ===== The stasis field around her hums and buzzes. Unlike modern biotics or artificial barriers, it produces no smell of ozone. Too well tuned, perhaps. Too efficient. As perfect in the mechanism as it is in the spherical shape.

The krogan they sent with the geth stomps down the gangway, carrying something over his massive

shoulders. Purple droplets fall to the white deck before fading on the unstainable, self-healing alloy the Protheans use. It is still snow-white fifty thousand years after whatever caused this place to be abandoned.

He dumps his load with a dismissive grunt. The body of Emyni Jaega tumbles to the plating, the left side of her face a rotting, charred gap and her vivid teal skin almost black with discoloration and decay. Liara's friend. Her mentor in field work. "Files say this one had a krogan father," her tormentor huffs. "Guess that's why the bitch got a piece of me."

He taps a crater dug deep into the bone-plates of his forehead, one of the few parts of a krogan that never heals. Warpfire has ripped apart the bones atom by atom, down to the pale layers closest to the skin. A few centimeters more and the forelobes of his brain would have melted.

He kicks the body out of his way and it tumbles off the platform, landing with a thud somewhere below.

Don't cry, Liara reminds herself. Don't spit at him. Don't use your biotics. You can't spare the water.

"She did," Liara replies. "And her wife is ten times the krogan you are! After I pull your vast'kak from your spine, I will give them to her for a grave-trophy. She can chase down your pups by their sire's stink."

"Hah!"

He waggles a giant finger at her and pulls a hunk of charred varren meat out of a bag on his hip.

"I like you."

He keeps talking, but she's too exhausted to piece together the words.

=====

A bang that reverberates through the cavern jars Liara from the half-sleep she had been languishing in. Dragging her eyes open, she sees a pair of the pale gray geth slam into the barrier field clad in ice blue biotic fields. The machines twitch and chirp and struggle until two shots ring out, striking each through the optical housing on the head and stilling them instantly.

"Hello!" Liara calls out, not even sure she's making any sound dragging air over her aching tongue. "I'm trapped! I need help."

"Doctor T'Soni, I presume?"

With a hiss of recaptured air, the huntress removes her helmet.

"Goddess."

Rather than scaled crests and Serrice Guard tattoos or a House T'Soni diadem of rank, the helmet reveals a human woman with pink skin dusted with tawny speckles, eyes the dangerous green of tideglass shards in the moonlight and hair like a blast of wildfire: messy, red and curling.

"You're human."

The sob rushes up her chest and out her throat. She shakes her till her body aches.

"Commander," the quarian murmurs. "She's dehydrated. Badly. She's delirious like I would be after a suit failure."

"Place reeks of Garatog. Been stuck in the field a long time. Tough little pyjak," the krogan rumbles.

"Less chatter, more options. I need her out of that field and patched up."

=====

Hands pry her lips open--none too gently--and Liara thrashes, flinging what biotics she can. A stasis field clamps tight around her body, stilling her below the neck.

"Easy! I'm not going to hurt you. It's just water. Here."

Liara forces her eyes open despite the way the light stabs at them. Something thin and plastic pokes at her lips. A straw, she finally realizes, with the other end jammed into what looks like a huntress's ration tube except for the lack of the Asari Republic's sigil on the plastic. She takes it between her lips and lets her rescuer squeeze eezo-infused water into her aching mouth.

"Gotta go slow on the water, sorry. Don't want to shock your system."

Her focus ebbs and flows but when she can make herself see and think clearly, she finds herself staring into those dark green eyes and watching the damp curls of hair move along the sweat-slicked skin and wondering how long it would take to count every freckle and if freckles are permanent on humans, or if they can be sucked from the skin and Goddess, Liara, get a hold of yourself and wishing she could ignore how firm and steady the hand supporting her head is, like a pillar of stone even as it cradles her crests without a whisper of pressure on the inflamed tissue.

=====

Liara opens her eyes to the inside of an auto-medical pod. The clamshell is half open and the lights are dimmed--truly a mercy--and her vitals are displayed on one of the interior screens. On a chair next to her is a human woman with silver hair, a few tiny wrinkles around each eye, and a kind smile. She rests her gloved hand over Liara's and squeezes gently.

"You're a doctor?"

"Dr. Karen Chakwas, chief medical officer of the SSV Normandy."

"Thank you," Liara croaks. She doesn't have to be a medical doctor to know that her blood levels of eezo, sodium, and tungsten are more suited to a mummified corpse than an asari maiden.

The doctor's omnitool pings.

"And that's the commander asking for an update on you. I think I'll lie, give you a couple hours more rest. How's that sound?"

Liara can't manage to thank her before she falls asleep.

=====

The man reaches his hand out in a gesture Liara doesn't understand, shrugs, and pulls it back.

"Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko, by the way. I'm the MCO here. Sorry. Marine Command Officer. Means I'm in charge of keeping all these fine men and women in the metal suits ready to go."

Liara hazards a sip of the liquid. It's bitter and slightly spiced and she can taste eezo in it. She smacks her lips, trying to place the flavor.

"Closest I could get to kaffe. Columbian from the commander's stash, cinnamon and some granulated honey."

She sets the cup down hurriedly.

"I...I couldn't possibly."

Kaidan chuckles.

"I'm pretty sure Skipper would kick my ass if I hadn't offered you the good stuff. Please, enjoy. For my safety if nothing else."

Kick his ass? Is that an idiom?

=====

An image flashes unwanted through Liara's brain. Sinew hard as silver-pink riverstone of the old quarries near Armali, carved into arms that lift her up with ease. Hips leaned forward, pinning her body against the cold steel of a bulkhead. Tongue dancing between the neck-folds, fingers pressing into the bundles behind the sil'atr and pinching at the tips, where the skin is firm and can take that abuse.

Making her body weep salt and eezo, running in rivers around her fingertips.

Would it be like an azure? Would Shepard want my fingers in it? My tongue? Goddess, would I even know how to pleasure her?

Heat crawls up her neck folds to her cheeks. She wishes the table wasn't so shiny because she can see her skin going violet with embarrassment.

[bogleech]

Okay here’s the whole entire text of my original pokemon gen concept under a cut (sorry if that screws you up on mobile)

I’ve only ever sketched a tiny number of these (like my fly ideas here), but I can see most of them in my head pretty clearly and might sketch more of them by request someday. I originally set my fan-region in Florida, a place I hated living but still had a lot of interesting characteristics. This changed over once I moved to Oregon, and the thing about Oregon is that it has desert, forest, swamp, coastline and frozen mountaintops that are all pretty vast, ancient and in places relatively untouched compared to the rest of North America. This is not only a perfect setting for some really wild pokemon, but makes a believable choice because our Pacific Northwest is pretty popular in Japan.

The different biomes of this region have "deep" areas where the pokemon change. Some also have "polluted" areas. The region is environmentally themed and heavily deals with human interference on the natural world.

The villains are Team Bio, genetic engineerers lead by a mysterious old woman who narrowly survived the original Mewtwo experiment. Her underlings all use "mutant" pokemon, and she seeks to create a new species of hyper-intelligent, pure-hearted pokemon that will replace humans entirely. Along the way is a strange increase in reports of interstellar pokemon activity... I actually tried hard to minimize how many pokemon in this are just “my kind” of concept, but I think I failed pretty hard. It probably does feel like it leans a little more towards Mortasheen than something Pokemon would actually make, but for basically every pokemon that’s one of my “dream concepts” or “most wanted” I tried to come up with one that I thought would appeal more to somebody else’s taste than mine.

THE STARTERS

Grass Starter: a grass "lumberjack" pterosaur with an axe for a beak. Second stage has more saw-like beak, final stage is a grass/steel quetzalcoatlus (the pterosaur) with a beak and crest forming a chainsaw, no longer flies

Fire type calf whose black cow marks are actually soot. Evolves into cow with craggy black “helmet” and horns of charcoal. Final stage a charcoal-armored minotaur like fire/ground type.

SEA TRENCH FORMS: Entirely pale pink golisopod line with closed eyes transparent red tentacool line with darker red nodules dark maroon inkay line with blue lights red and purple feebas line

CAVE FORMS: White, eyeless venipede line White, eyeless magikarp line

DEEP SWAMP FORMS: crocodile-green Sandile line with lily pad on head black shelled "freshwater" shellder line with green algae growths pure red and purple colored bellsprout line

DEEP FOREST FORMS: braviary with more hawklike colors foongus line with no pokeball pattern...the original foongus? wolf-spider colored joltik line

POLLUTED INLET FORMS: Dewpider line with all black body and limbs, yellow glowing eyes in dirty green water Grey wailmer line draped in red algae, clumps of barnacles (presumably degenerated binacle) Wingull line with grey and black oil-splotched feathers, tin can on head

GARBAGE DUMP FORMS: Bounsweet line with only grey, brown and black colors, dark spoiled looking splotches Black bag trubbish line with green trash, copper colored pipes Rusted looking klink line, rotates only once every few seconds.

----------GYM LEADERS -------------- In this region the gyms are dual type, and bring back past mechanics and gimmicks as their focus.

flying/normal: a blind, wheelchair-bound old man who specializes in dog and bird pokemon. Uses a baton pass team.

Steel/electric: an astronaut commanding his gym by remote feed from the station. Uses Magnezone, Rotom forms and, surprisingly, a random steel or electric ultrabeast.

Poison/bug: a germophobic lady scientist ironically obsessed with pollution pokemon, always wearing a biohazard suit. Has weezing, garbodor, the fly pokemon and Yanmega. Uses Z-moves, but it's random whether she uses a bug or poison one and on which pokemon.

Dark/fire: an elderly biker lady. Has no gym and in fact roams around the region. Surprisingly challenges you to a third-gen style beauty contest with her frightening selection of pokemon.

Grass/fairy: witchy pharmacist and botanist who lives out in the woods, all of her grass types are mushroom based. Unusually has you team up with her in a double battle against a random pokemon of unusual size and strength, like Alola's totem pokemon.

Ground/fighting: an extremely frail little nerdy guy who likes amazingly fearsome pokemon, hates bullies but kind of is one. Makes you face a horde battle with all of his pokemon vs. only one of yours at a time.

Dragon/rock: a boisterous monster movie director who dresses his pokemon in costumes, gym is a cardboard city. Uses a dynamaxed pokemon.

Ghost/psychic: a horror author, Vincent Price like, lives in a mansion and makes visitors face scenes from his books. Instead of a single battle, he has you face a series of singular mega pokemon behind each "scene." THE LABORATORY This location is of course secretly associated with the villain team, but you can free it up from them in the endgame. Here you can make fossil pokemon, micropokemon, regional forms from past generations, ultrabeasts and even mega stones, but all require you to spend one or more “gene crystals.” You’re handed a number of these through the storyline but it would be very challenging to farm more than that  (think Gen 7 bottlecaps). Spending more crystals at the lab would allow you to finally alter abilities, natures and IV’s at a whim, and for an exceptional cost you could upgrade the BASE stats of any L100 pokemon permanently. This is a percentage increase applied across the board to all of its stats at once, and stops at either 100 total points beyond their normal limits, or a final base stat total of 530 (equivalent to a fully evolved starter) MISC STUFF:

Your mom this gen asks you if you hope to have an easy, challenging, or very challenging adventure. You can return to her at any time to adjust the difficulty again.

When you beat the game, you can make a custom trainer for online battles using the models of other NPC trainer types, i.e. you can finally be a swimmer/scientist/grunt/etc. You can unlock some popular ones from past generations.

You can select one pokemon as your main partner, which not only has it following you, but involves it a little more in the storyline (special events based on its first typing) and gives it some in-game perks.

A special item attached to any one of your pokemon allows your whole team to “share strength,” meaning that their weaknesses are mitigated for each teammate they share a type with. This allows for type-themed teams to be more viable but wouldn’t completely eliminate their weaknesses, and the effect diminishes proportionately for every pokemon that faints.

You can designate a seventh pokemon to be your “team mascot,” a non-combat role with different effects depending on species/type.

A single team can have either the mascot, a z-move, a dynamax/gigantamax form or a mega, cannot mix these.

Legendary pokemon now suffer a stat nerf for every other legendary pokemon on the same team. A team of six legendaries would actually be somewhat below-average in stats.

Snowy Day | pups7

Word counts : 843 words

A/N : Just a fluffy wolf pup au for you guys.

x

Thud.

Once.

Giggles and screams are everywhere and the vivid sound of the little pups are testing his limits.

Thud.

Twice.

Jaebeom turns around, irritated that his head was hit by something he can't define. Just as he turns, white covers his vision, then black, Jackson's giggles echoes in his ears.

How dare him-

"Mom!" He yells, irritated by the younger brother. It's another day of when snow decides to rain heavily and Mom gives them permission to play around with snow. All seven pups are out, playing with the snow as they can't do this frequent. Usually mom will gather them inside with hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies and read them wolf stories.

So today when they can play and run all over the place, Jaebeom decides that he can use this time to sit under his favourite tree and read his favourite nursery book. However Jackson has been hitting his back a few times now and he is really irritated. Jackson has no boundaries sometimes and thinks its funny to do that.

He turns to see Mark sitting on bench, ignoring Jackson's playful gestures which is now attacking Yugyeom and Bambam with snow balls. The little pups, though being smacked on the face a few times, still stand and laugh after countless trials of avoiding Jackson's hit.

"What's wrong Jaebeommie?" Their mom coos as the said boy comes closer, halting her motion to feed Youngjae some hot soup. "Why don't you play with Seunnie?"

Loud, irritated sigh escapes Jaebeom's lip, pouting as he takes a sit next to the smaller brother. "Seunnie is irritating. He keeps throwing the snow balls to my head!"

Youngjae, turning to him at the word ball, eyes lighting in awe. "Snow ball? Where is the ball!?" Youngjae likes balls. He likes something sphere in general, including the knitting threads and Jinyoung's cheeks. Which is why Jinyoung doesn't like being close to Youngjae, the pup will raise his chubby hands to pinch Jinyoung's cheeks. His tiny paws love patting spherical things hence imagine how irritated Jinyoung is.

"Jackson is playing with them." He saves the harsh tone under his breath, instead placing them with a sweet voice which he will only use with Youngjae. And Jinyoung.

Only two of them.

"Jackson hyung?" He lights up, quickly standing and look at their mom in hope. Mom laughs, nodding her head. "Thank you mommie!"

Youngjae runs or toddles with his tail wagging behind him towards Jackson, screaming all the way and fall flat on the snowy ground. Jaebeom's heart stops, watching his little brother struggling to stand up, short legs pushing the thick snow so he stand properly. Luckily Jackson is there to help, making Youngjae stand and wipes off the snow on his legs.

Relieved, he turns to his Mom, questioning. "Where's Jinyoungie?"

As if his Mom just remembers something, she snaps her fingers, asking Jaebeom to come closer. Curious, he keeps an wary eye on mom, terrified if Jinyoungie suddenly appears behind her.

"Jinyoungie told me to ask you to find him. He said he will be at the place where you likes the most."

Jaebeom staggers backward, too excited at Mom's little whisper. "Really!? Jinyoungie is at the cottage?"

Their mom nods, smiling even when her six years old pup grins, cresent forming from his eyes.

"Can i go to the cottage mom?" Hopeful, Jaebeom asks for permission first though he knows Jinyoung is already there.

"Go on. But bring Jinyoungie back with you too okay?"

Smiling in triumph, Jaebeom walks away, hurrying his little steps towards the cottage. His ears on top of his head is covered with some snow however he doesn't mind that, only excited with the thought of him going to the cottage.

The cottage is where their father will only bring Jaebeom and Jinyoung inside, because their father said both of them enjoys reading the most. So the cottage was built for books keeping hence they love visiting the cottage. Usually mom won't let them go without supervision but this has been the second time they are let in without their parents.

He reaches the cottage, knocking thrice before calling out the younger's name.

"Jinyoungie?" His ears perks at any distinct sound, trying to listen to any breathing from inside. Sometimes Jinyoung can be so focused, his wolf hearing will not even useful.

"Come in hyung!" His tail wags at the reply, excitedness envelop his whole tiny body.

Jaebeom wishes that it is snowy everyday. That day he can spent his time in the cottage where he can read all of the books with Jinyoungie. He feels contented and happy, that by the time he opens his third nursery book, he finds Jinyoung sliding down the floor, snuggling against Jaebeom's lap for comfort.

"Jinyoungie?"

"Mm' sleepy Jaebeommie." Jaebeom smiles, patting Jinyoung's ears to lull him to sleep. Jinyoung is like that, he likes when Jaebeom strokes his hair and scratch his ears. He will purs happily and sleep soundly.

Maybe, the day hasn't been so bad like what Jaebeom has expected.

spherical

It was unusual for Shiro to come home from work and not find Lance starfished out on the most comfortable available surface, but not so strange that it threw up any alarms. He pulled his shirt off and tossed it in the laundry pile by the bed, and opened the door to the bathroom, where he froze in place. There was a fat baby seal laying in the bathtub. The seal looked up at Shiro and barked, slapping its tail against the water remaining in the tub, and Shiro slowly closed the door. He knew the size of seals very well now, and that definitely wasn't Lance, familiar patterning on his coat notwithstanding. After a moment, Shiro cracked the door open again, and the baby seal eyed him suspiciously. Once again, Shiro closed the door. "Lance!" he yelled, although the cabin was small enough that his husband couldn't hide easily. He stood on the porch with his hands on hips and glared at James's truck as it rumbled up the overgrown gravel drive. "I've been trying to call you," he said, as James threw the truck into park. "Sorry," James said. "My cell phone got, uh." He glanced over his shoulder, and sighed. "Eaten." "Where's Keith? Have you seen Lance? Do you have any idea," Shiro gestured at the cabin behind him, "why there's a baby seal in my bathtub?" "Yeah," James said. "Hang on." He dropped the hatch on the pickup and a small black ball of fur unfolded, ears alert and tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. "You have got to be kidding me," Shiro said, as James picked up the wolf pup. He looked back at the cabin. "So that's actually..." he pushed his prosthetic hand back through his short hair and exhaled. "Well, fuck."

The Bioelectrography History

Since 500BC  HISTORY OF GDV/EPI BIOELECTROGRAPHY KIRLIANGRAPHY, ELECTROPHOTONICS see more about Different names of Bioelectrography 500BC – Testing of genuine amber by static process in China 1541-1603 – Electroscope, William Gilbert

William Gilbert William Gilbert, also known as ‘Gilberd’, was a famous researcher in magnetism. He was famous during the time of Queen Elizabeth I and is best known for his publication, ‘De Magnete’. Credited as one of the originators of the term of electricity, William Gilbert is also known as the father of electricity, magnetism and electrical engineering. He travelled extensively and wrote many publications such as ‘Magnetisque Corporibus’ and ‘ET de Magno Magnete Tellure’ during his lifetime. Apart from being a scientist, Gilbert led a parallel career as an astronomer. He studied the moon’s surface without a telescope and concluded that the craters were in fact land, and the white patches on the moon’s surface were water bodies. One of his other significant contributions was when he pointed out that the motion of the skies occurred due to the rotation of the earth. One of the first people to try to map the markings of the moon’s surface, Gilbert was a celebrated astronomer and scientist. His theories on magnetism and electricity had also been the subject of controversy for many of his successors.

electroscope An electroscope is an early scientific instrument that is used to detect the presence and magnitude of electric charge on a body. It was the first electrical measuring instrument. The first electroscope, a pivoted needle called the versorium, was invented by British physician William Gilbert around 1600. The pith-ball electroscope and the gold-leaf electroscope are two classical types of electroscope that are still used in physics education to demonstrate the principles of electrostatics. A type of electroscope is also used in the quartz fiber radiation dosimeter. Electroscopes were used by the Austrian scientist Victor Hess in the discovery of cosmic rays. Electroscopes detect electric charge by the motion of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force. Since the electric potential or voltage of an object with respect to ground equals its charge divided by its capacitance to ground, an electroscope can be regarded as a crude voltmeter. However, the accumulation of enough charge to detect with an electroscope requires hundreds or thousands of volts, so electroscopes are only used with high-voltage sources such as static electricity and electrostatic machines. Electroscopes generally give only a rough, qualitative indication of the magnitude of the charge. An instrument that measures charge quantitatively is called an electrometer. 1602-1686 – Electrostatic machine, Otto von Guerricke & Hauksbee

Otto Von Guerickes Sulphur Ball Otto von Guericke's electrostatic machine evolved into increasingly improved instruments in the hands of later scientists. Otto von Querricke (1602-1686), the Burgomeister of Magdeburg best known for his demonstration of the effect of atmospheric pressure on evacuated bodies (the Magdeburg Hemispheres), also showed the electrical effects were obtained by rubbing glass. Originally, he used a globe of sulphur mounted on a shaft, with the hand rubbing the rotating sphere. The sulphur was cast in a spherical shell of glass that was subsequently broken away; soon it was discovered that glass, and not sulphur, was the key ingredient of the demonstration. About 1700 Francis Hauksbee the Elder suggested that a glass cylinder be used in place of the sphere. In the early 1700s, Francis Hauksbee designed his own electrostatic generator, a feat stemming from his studies of mercury. 1661-1713 - Resulted in the reproduction of electrical phenomena in the laboratory 1622 – Magnetic declination varies with time, Edmund Gunter 1671 – Electric organ of torpedo fish studied, Francesco Redi 1672 – Living tissues react to environment, Francis Glisson 1702 – Air at low pressure glows during an electrical discharge, Hauksbee 1704 – Electrons, particles, wave forms.

GEORGE CRHISTOPHER LICHTEMBERG Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was a German physicist, satirist, and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. He obtained, with dust particles, under Statics Electricity, anything that we can consider as being primitive “Bioelectrographic Images” and those primitive images, in electrified dust were named, by him, as Electro-graphics”. In 1777 a German physicist George Lichtenberg touched a metal electrode covered with glass and connected to voltage with his finger while experimenting with the electrical machine. And suddenly a burst of sparkles flew all around. This was magically beautiful, although a little bit frightening. Lichtenberg jerked back the finger and then repeated the experiment. The finger placed on the electrode was shining with bright blue light and treelike sparkles dispersed from it.  Lichtenberg, being a real academic scientist, investigated the behavior of this fluorescence in detail, although he substituted a grounded wire for a finger. The effect was the same, which later suggested an idea that some special energy exists in the body, and first electrical then tor­sion properties were attributed to it. Articles by Lichtenberg, masterfully done in German, are still cited in books on gas discharge. Further research demonstrated that electrical fluorescence was not so rarely met in nature.

Two major invention that allowed to implement a method of photographing images of various objects in the high-frequency field: 1839 - invention of photography Daguerre, 1851 - creation Ruhmkorff coil. 1839-Jacques Daguerre, a French researcher, has published a method for producing an image on a copper plate covered with silver. 1842-G. Karsten, Berlin. Germany. He put a coin on a glass plate and gave it a few sparks from the electric machine. If you then breathe on the glass, it was seen the image of the coin. He called these figures «electrical breath figures». 1851-Heinrich Daniel Ruhmkorff, German inventor. In 1851, he patented the first version of its induction coil. This further coil is widely used for electrophotographic images.

The History of Bioelectrography - Coil Ruhmkorff

Coil Ruhmkorff - The History of Bioelectrography The device Ruhmkorff coil. The primary winding of the coil, consists of several tens of turns of thick wire wound around the core, and is energized through the electrochemical cell (chemical current source). An important element of the chopper coil is in the form of a hammer, which is attracted by the core to create the primary winding of the magnetic field due to flow through it from the DC power source. Thus, the hammer breaks the circuit and the magnetic field disappears, the hammer returns to its original state, closing the circuit again. The change in the magnetic field reacts secondary winding consisting of thousands of turns of a thin wire, is wound over the primary winding. This leads to a second winding of high instantaneous currents of different directions (closing / opening). Due to a member of the condenser coil, the coil stores energy in a magnetic field, which further increases the currents in both windings, and allows the air gap between the punch pin of the secondary winding. 1876 - I. Goldstein Gittorfor (1850-1931), German physicist, received a specially designed discharge tube coin image using it as a cathode. These experiments were carried out under reduced pressure of the gaseous medium. Relief cathode (coins) was seen in the light of the cathode-ray fluorescence on the opposite wall of the cathode of the discharge tube. 1871 - Cromwell Fleetwood Varley (1828-1883), English engineer-electrician. The interrelation of the phenomena of electricity and spiritualism, studied electrical discharge in gases. 1877 - Lachinov Dmitry Alexandrovich (1842-1902), Russian physicist and electrical engineer, SPGU, Professor of Forest Institute, St. Petersburg. Since 1877 Lachinov worked on the gas discharge visualization. Building on its cycle of meteorological research, continuing to work on the study of the electric arc and pictures in the late 1870s and early 1880s Lachinov published in the "Russian Invalid" a number of articles dealing with different aspects of the research programs, their complex application. In the summer and autumn of 1887 in the physics laboratory of the Forest Institute Lachinov simulated form of atmospheric electricity, differentiation electrodischarges in a gaseous environment. With the assistance of the photographer V.Monyushko photographed or recorded on the plate bromzhelatinovoy direct impact sparks. During the first experiments filmed bright discharge (spark induction coil connected to a capacitor) or dim when entered in a long chain of the resistance gave a discharge discharge. The second and third series of experiments was carried out without a camera, the category of sliding along the surface of the dry bromzhelatinovoy plate and left her a trail that the manifestation is made visible, nothing else, as one of the first examples of the so-called gas discharge visualization. On the progress and results of the experiments reported in V.Monyushko V (photographic) department Russian Technical Society (St. Petersburg Engineering Society) October 9, 1887. He spoke about the possibility of photographing using a variety of metal objects spark. October 27, 1887 Lachinov posts made in Russian Physical and Chemical Society (RFHO).

Nikola Tesla He showed, in a public presentation, a luminous halo around human body and another objects while exposed to a strong electromagnetic field with high A.C. voltage and high frequency. But he considered this subject only as a scientific curiosity that received the general name of “Corona Effect”. In the Nineteenth century enigmas of electricity were opening to people. One of the great inventors was Nicola Tesla, from whom we now have lamps and television sets. He invented the generator of alternating current. However, if it had not been him, somebody else would have done it. In­ventions come to life when a social need for them appears. Then different people simultaneously and independently start arriving at the same ideas. This is connected with the fact that the ideas have their logic of development, and the developers shall only intuitively feel this logic. After raising good money with his patents, Nikola Tesla began the mysterious experi­ments on energy transfer without wires. He did not finish his developments and died in destitu­tion, but up to now enthusiasts have been trying to investigate his ideas. We get used to our tech­nical progress and reap its fruits with pleasure, but is it the only possible way of development? At the peak of his career Tesla liked to give public lectures and impress the audience with the following experience. The light was turned off in the room, Tesla turned on the generator of his own design, stood on the platform-electrode, and his body got wrapped in the glow. The hair stood on end, glowing rays of light radiated in the space. The experiment was very ef­fective, though not all those who wished managed to repeat it: as a matter of fact, their glow was much less and for some people even missing. Not in vain was it said that Nikola Tesla had spe­cial energy state. Further research did not go much beyond investigations of the glow of fingers, sometimes ears, nose and other prominent parts of the body. Is it possible to reproduce Tesla’s experiments and make all the body glow? Yes, it is. But is it necessary? Powerful equipment, which is not safe if not handled properly, is required for such an experiment. Moreover, the stronger electrical glow, the more ozone is generated in the air. A high concentration of ozone is far from being healthy. 1887 - DA Lachinov "Russian Invalid". 1887, №220, №225.

J. NARKIEVITCH-JODKO

J. J. NARKIEVITCH-JODKO On an electricized plate, he obtained a type of photo that he simply named Electric Photography, in black and white colors, and started to investigate, through this technique, the human potencialities, but he did not continue his work. Later on, already during the middle of XXth Century, his work was taken back by M. Pogorelski, in Russia, and by B. J. Navratil, in Czechoslovakia, but with no other significative consequence. A significant contribution to the study of these photographs was made by a talented Byelorussian scientist Jacob Narkevich-Yodko in the end of the Nineteenth century. He was an independent landowner and spent most of his time on his estate above the river Neman. There he ac­tively experimented with electricity, applying it in agriculture and medicine. A straight parallel with modern medicine can be drawn from the description of experiments on the stimulation of plants with electrical current, on electrotherapy, and magnetism by J. Narkevich-Yodko. But the scientific achievements of our time are not just “the new as a well-lost old”. This is a new convolution of perception. 1893 - Russia “Electrophotosphenes and energography as a proof of existence of the physiological polar energy”. This was the name of a small book by a doctor from St. Petersburg, Messira Pogorelsky, where he described his experiments in bioelectrography. Book, published in 1893. Many photographs of the glow of fingers and toes, ears and nose show how the pattern of fluorescence varies when the psychic state of a person changes. However, this work was far from being the first one. 1865 - Narkevitch-Yodko finished Minsk provincial classical gymnasium and went abroad. 1869 - entered the medical faculty of the University of Paris. He studied in Vienna, Paris, Florence. 1872 - he returned home, he conducts scientific experiments. 1888 - Metoostantsiya transferred to the estate of over-Neman (80km south-west of Minsk). 1902. Issue 335. s.259. http: /www.vofem.ru/ru/cat/113/ (Russian) 1904 – BRAZIL Father Roberto Landell de Morua  (A Brazilian Jesuit Catholic Priest)

Father Roberto Landell de Morua Besides to be a priest, he was a Physicist too and, in Porto Alegre (RS), he invented an engine that he named “Bioelectrographic Machine”. He did take some hundreds of photos and named the halo around the human body as “Perianto”. He researched on this subject during 8 (eight) years, until 1912, when he was obliged by Catholic Church to stop those researches. In Brazil, very similar experi­ments were performed by a Catholic monk, padre Landell de Morua. A monk’s life left a lot of free time, after reading prayers and performing rituals. Padre de Morua invented the technique of photoregistration of electrical glow and started giving lectures and writing to social leaders in order to attract at­tention to his offspring. Invention of padre de Morua produced much rapt attention, congratulations, banquets, but was not widespread. Then the little priest invented the radio (practically simultaneously with Popov and Markoni), but again he was unable to draw in large crowds. Even the military. FIRST SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL In the beginning of the Twentieth century nobody even recalled the mysterious glow. There were many other problems: wars, revolutions, breakthroughs in physics, discovery of antibiot­ics and roentgen rays – everybody was sure that it was very close to the outright victory. Only by 1930’s the life more or less came right. And here appeared the mysterious glow again. And, as if by chance, it was discovered anew, but there is a rule behind every chance. 1904/12 – BRAZIL We can consider that Fr. Landell was the pioneer of the first scientific and systematic researches on the Bioelectrography field, during 8 years, at worldwide level. However, Catholic Church, in that period, did not allow he continued his researches because of purely doctrinary reasons and confiscated almost all of his notes, but many of those reports escaped and are in a safe place, the current Fr. Roberto Landell de Moura Museum, in Porto Alegre (RS) – Brazil. 1939 - Around the World In 1939, two Czechs S. Pratt and J. Schlemmer. published photographs showing a curious glow or aura around leaves. The same year, the Russian electrical engineer Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina developed their own technique after observing a patient who was receiving medical treatment from a high-frequency electrical generator. Electrotherapy was popular at the time and they had noticed that when the electrodes were brought near the patient’s skin, there was a glow similar to that seen in an electrified tube filled with neon. Kirlian photography consisted of placing photographic film on top of a conducting plate, and attaching another conductor to a hand, leaf, or other part of a plant. When the conductors were energized by a high frequency high voltage power source, the resulting image showed a silhouette of the object surrounded by an aura of light. 1939 - Experiments in psychics Practical studies in direct writing (automatic) supernormal photography and other phenomena by F.

Semyon & Valentina Kirlian Semyon & Valentina Kirlian 1939 – RUSSIA  Semyon and Valentina Kirlian In Krasnodar, former URSS, he re-invented the Bioelectrographic Camera, now renamed as Kirlian Camera, and started systematic and scientific researches, helped by several Soviet Scientists. Those researches were revealed to the rest of the world only in 1960, during a Congress on Parapsychology. Semyon Kirlian spent most part of his life with his wife Valentina in a poor two-room apartment at the corner of Gorky and Kirov streets in Krasnodar. The wooden two-story house where they had started their family life was swept away by progress – a building program turned the small provincial town on the banks of the Kuban river into an industrial center. Kirlians were deeply carried away with the experiments with auras of live subjects, and since 1939 they had worked hard. The only rest they could afford was walking hand in hand under the trees and along blossoming fields so typical of the South Russian cities. The Kirlians published the results of their experiments for the first time in 1958, and in 1961 reported that the characteristics of fingertip auras not only varied in different people, but was also affected by their emotional status. If someone felt very anxious or was in an opposite state of deep relaxation during meditation, there was a corresponding change in the size and intensity of the glow. Their work was virtually unknown in the West until 1970, when two Americans, Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander published their book, “Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain”. Russian books about Bioelectrography 1967 – BRAZIL Prof. Newton Milhomens

Prof. Newton Milhomens At the end of 1967, in Brasilia (DF), he built his first Kirlian Camera, based on a Soviet electronic scheme, starting his scientific researches in Psychological Clinics, in 1968, and, later on, in Hospitals. Moving to Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in 1981, in that city he continued his researches. Currently, he is living in Curitiba (PR), ever since 1983. Professor Newton Milhomens books 1969 – GERMANY

Dr. Peter Mandel Dr. Peter Mandel YEARS 1970s It was published the book “Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain” that was writen by the American press-women Sheyla Strander and Lynn Schroeder, that popularized worldwide the Semyon Kirlian researches. So, hundreds of persons, in all countries, started to build Kirlian Cameras and began to research with this new device, some of them in an amateur manner but another persons used a systematic and scientific manner. Unfortunately, this subject was divulged by International Press with sensationalism considering the Kirlian Photo as a mystic and supernatural subject. 1970 – BRAZIL Dr. Paulo de Castro Teixeira, a Homeopathic Pharmaceut from do Rio Preto (SP), built his Kirlian Camera and take hundreds of Kirlian Photos of several persons, before and at each 15 minutes, after those persons had ingested any homeopathic remedy, and he found several types of modifications, in the Kirlian Photos. He published several books, in Portuguese, all about his researches in this field and, till today, he is living in S?o Jos? do Rio Preto (SP), where he is the owner of a Pharmaceutic Industry that produces Homeopathic remedies. 1972 – BRAZIL Dr. Hernani G. Andrade He always was considered the greatest divulger of Spiritism in Brazil. He built his Kirlian Camera, in San Paulo (SP), and took many hundreds of Kirlian Photos of plants and human beings intending to prove the existence of Spirit with them, not only in human beings, but even in bacteria too. He only divulged his researches in Spiritist Magazines and Congresses mainly at the State of S?o Paulo (SP) where is considered the greatest one. 1974 - IKRA IKRA – The International Kirlian Research Association 1974 scientists from different countries came together in an international association for the study of Kirlian effect (The International Kirlian Research Association, IKRA) (Drexel University). The organization was formed in December 1974 at a seminar in the Community Hospital in Brooklyn, NY for the purpose of standardization and assistance at all stages of research into the Kirlian phenomenon. Dr. Benjamin Shafiroff, New York College of Medicine, USA President of the Association IKRA.

1974 – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Dr. Stanley Krippner, PhD Psychologist and Parapsychologist, published the book “The Kirlian Aura” in which he described all that was known in that period, about Kirlian Photos, under a scientific approach.

The Probability Of The Impossible: Scientific Discoveries and Explorations of the Psychic World 1974 - The Probability Of The Impossible: Scientific Discoveries and Explorations of the Psychic World by Thelma Moss.  In The Probability of the Impossible, Dr. Thelma Moss presents a rare picture of a parapsychologist at work in her laboratory and in the field. She explores the seemingly incredible assumptions of parapsychologists and carefully shows how the scientific psychical researcher attempts to recreate, capture, and analyze the elusive phenomena of the paranormal. Step by step, she leads the reader along a continuum from everyday experiences through events that happen only rarely and under "special" circumstances on to the extraordinary, indeed the seemingly impossible, experiences of both well-known and little-heralded psychics. She convincingly presents arguments for a psychic world as "real" as the material one.

Dr. Thelma Moss 1975 – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Dr. Thelma Moss, PhD Psychologist and Professor of University of California, she started her researches on Kirlian Photos and published the book “The Probability of the Impossible”, where she reported her initial researches. Later on, she published another book “The Electric Body” in which she described her last researches in that University and showed to all, the reasons which provoked her removal, all of them were the result of pure preconception.

The living aura - Radiation field photography and the Kirlian effect 1975 - The living aura: Radiation field photography and the Kirlian effect  by Kendall L Johnson 1978 - IUMAB IUMAB – International Union of Medical and Applied Bioelectrography, the maximum and the greatest Organization, at worldwide level, on Bioelectrography. Today, IUMAB is recognized by UNO/WHO and is considered by this UNO’s Organization as the maximum Bioelectrographic Organization on world whose rules, recommendations, directives and other acts are valid and must be observed in Bioelectrographic researches, courses, standards, etc. The International Union of Medical and Applied Bio-Electrography was formed in 1978 to help standardize equipment, research methods, and data acquisition. Researchers such as German naturopath and acupuncturist Peter Mandel and Newton Milhomens in Brazil developed their own way of interpretation of Kirlian photography of human fingers and toes. Peter Mandel was one of the first, who energized certain acupuncture points by using different colored lights to achieve a desired response. Mandel's Energy Analysis Emission diagnostic system utilized Kirlian photography and his Esogetic Colorpuncture therapy is believed to restore yin and yang equilibrium. All of these modalities, as well as non-invasive laser acupoint stimulation, have been used with varying degrees of success in thousands of patients over the years.

1979 - USA The Body Electric: A Personal Journey into the Mysteries of Parapsychological Research, Bioenergy and Kirlian Photography by Dr. Thelma Moss The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker’s discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker’s struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing. 1983 – BRAZIL It was published, in Brazil, the book “Kirlian Photos – How to Interpret”, in Portuguese, whose author was Prof. Newton Milhomens, the first, on world, to teach how to diagnose almost all about the main problems of organic and psychic health using Kirlian Photos, where he described in details the way and the results of his researches, since 1968. 1983 – BRAZIL Newton Milhomens founded at Curitiba (PR) , his Industry and started to produce his first models of Kirlian Cameras which were initially sold to Brazilian doctors, psychologists and therapeuts.

Electrographic Imaging in Medicine & Biology by Ion Dumitrescu 1983 - Romania Electrographic Imaging in Medicine & Biology by Ion Dumitrescu 1985 – RUSSIA Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, PhD Physicist, Professor of the University of Saint Petersburg, after innumerable researches with a team of scientists of that University, he discovered that Kirlian Effect is the result of the ionization of gases and vapors exhaled by our skin, through the pores. He named this model GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) or, simply, GDV Technique, Electrophotonic Imaging, EPI. 1986 – BRAZIL At Curitiba (PR), the Ist Brazilian Congress on Kirliangraphy was realized with more than 250 Brazilian researchers on Kirliangraphy that came from all Brazil. During this Congress, it was approved by unanimous decision the “Newton Milhomens Standard” as the Brazilian Official Standard of Kirliangraphy. 1987 – BRAZIL It was published (in Portuguese) in Revista do Hospital das Foras Armadas (Magazine of the Brazilian Armed Forces Hospital), a scientific magazine on Military Medical Area, a Scientific Article entitled “Kirliangraphic Diagnosis on Oncology” that was written by two military doctors from Curitiba (PR): – Drs. J?lio Grott and H?lio Grott Filho. They discovered a sign that they named “fracture”, which is the sign able to diagnose cancer in human beings. 1987 – ARGENTINA Prof. Newton Milhomens was invited to dictate some lectures at Buenos Aires to hundreds of persons. By this way, Kirliangraphy with a scientific approach was introduced in that South American country. AROUND THE WORLD – YEARS 1987/95 During this period of 8 years, hundreds of articles, theses of post-graduation, and several books using Kirlian Photos, were published at several countries on world, including Brazil. Some of those books were written in an amateuristic manner but other ones, however, were written seriously with many scientific and systematic foundation and accurate statistic treatment. Thus, the scientific phase of Kirliangraphy was starting. 1989 – PORTUGAL Prof. Newton Milhomens was invited to dictate a lecture on Kirliangraphy at Lisbon, Portugal, during a Congress on Parapsychology, sponsored by Escola Superior de Biologia e Sa? de (Superior School of Biology and Health) and so, he introduced Kirliangraphy with a scientific approach in Portugal. During this period, he taught Kirliangraphy as an official matter subject of the course of Naturopatic Medicine in that Portuguese University. 1990 – PORTUGAL Prof. Newton Milhomens returned to Portugal to teach Kirliangraphy in Superior School of Biology and Health, at Lisbon, Portugal. This event was noticed by several local newspaper and the Tass TV Agency, from Russia, asked for him an interview that would be shown to all the russian territory to demonstrate that a Brazilian was teaching in Europe a Russian technique based on an engine that was invented by a Russian, Semyon Kirlian.

Dr. Konstantin Korotkov and GDVCAMERA 1995 – RUSSIA After many years of researches, he was succeeded to build a new Kirlian Camera which declines the photographic film and puts the GDV image directly at a computer’s screen. It was a new milestone in the History of Bioelectrography. First GDVCAMERA by Dr. Konstantin Korotkov on Saint-Petersburg, Russia created. More details on Bio-Well History. The GDV camera is based on the stimulation of photon and electron emissions from an object when it is placed in an electromagnetic field and subjected to brief electrical pulses. This process is called ‘photo-electron emission’ and has been thoroughly studied with cutting edge electronic techniques. The emitted particles accelerate in the electromagnetic field, generating electronic avalanches on the surface of the dielectric (glass) plate in a process called ‘sliding gas discharge. The discharge causes a glow from the excitement of molecules in the surrounding gas which is constantly measured. Voltage pulses stimulate optoelectronic emissions that are amplified in the gas discharge, and light produced by this process is recorded by a sensitive CCD (charge coupled device) camera that converts it into a colored computer image, or BIO-gram. Data obtained from the fingers of both hands are converted into a Human Energy Field image using proprietary sophisticated software. Russian books about Bioelectrography. 1996 – THE “WAVE” Induced by the success of the researches on Kirlian field, radiotechnicians on all countries around the world started to produce Kirlian Cameras from “backyard”. It was the radiotechnicians worldwide “wave”… As their unique intention was merely commercial, they never were interested in a standard and these “backyard standard” Kirlian Cameras never had a good quality and no stability but were enormously cheap, because they used the worse electronic components and also because anyone of these “producers” never made or had any participation in any kind of scientific experiment on Kirlian field and no one of them had any universitary education and the outsiders of Kirlian researches started to use the Kirlian Camera searching Mysticism and Supernatural exploring this new “commercial mystic field” in Fairs and Parks what was again divulged by International Press with much more sensacionalism and the name “Kirlian” lost credibility. Any samples of “backyard standards” around the world. 1998 – THE INTERNET When the Internet becomes firm and trustable, the informations become much more easy to be interchangeable at world wide level and the Kirlian subject appeared in several homepages. Many of them were only showing interest in commercial sales and another ones, on mysticism and supernaturalism. However, many serious homepages were taking aim at scientific publications or at a simple change of scientific informations were beginning to appear as the case of Prof. Newton Milhomens, in Brazil, Dr. Korotkov, in Russia, Dr. Peter Mandel, in Germany. Dr. Tom Chalko in Australia. IUMAB.org, GDVPLANET.com, GDVCAMERA.com, Kirlian.ru, GDVSOFTWARE.com, GDVsputnik.com and many other homepages from serious researchers around the world. 1998 – NEW ZEALAND Prof. Newton Milhomens was invited by Dr. Robert Beasley (center) to dictate a lecture on Kirliangraphy in a Congress at Auckland, New Zealand, where he knew Dr. Tom Chalko (right) that was researching on Kirliangraphy at Melbourne, Australia. 1998 - IUMAB Review IUMAB Review - Annual Digest Established by Professor Pavel Bundzen and Kirill Korotkov in 1998

IUMAB Review 2012 The International Union of Medical and Applied Bioelectrography publishes the IUMAB Review one time per year, and is free to all Regular Members. It contains original articles, news and book reviews. Current and past editions of IUMAB Review are ready for download as PDF files for IUMAB Regular Members. 1999 – RUSSIA In the beginning of this year, Ministry of Health, in Russia, declared that Kirliangraphy was Officially Admitted as a Scientific Fact and its main appliance was recommended in Medical Practice. In September, the Russian Academy of Sciences, during a Congress in Moscow, with more than 300 of the most renown russian scientists, officially admitted Kirliangraphy as a SCIENTIFIC FACT. 1999 – BRAZIL In April, at Curitiba (PR), occurred the IVth Brazilian Congress of Kirliangraphy, with the presence of more than 200 persons and the Russian Physicist, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, PhD, was invited to be the special international invited lecturer. 2000 – RUSSIA Prof. Newton Milhomens was invited as Honor Invited Lecturer to a Congress that occurred at Saint Petersburg. During a certain night, inside a ship on Ladoga Lake, he was honored because he was the first researcher on world to have discovered how to diagnose problems of psychic and organic health using Kirlian Photos. 2000 – BRAZIL Sponsored by IUMAB it was realized, at Curitiba (PR), the Vth Worldwide Conference on Kirliangraphy-2000, with the presence of 350 persons, where 45 of them were europeans. There were 5 lecturers from several European countries and 5 ones from Brazil. During the Vth Worldwide Conference on Kirliangraphy-2000, were presented two new discoveries on organic health area: – The signs that shows Allergic process, by Dra. Celia Cruz, from St Paulo, and the scientific proof of Flower therapy efficiency, by Prof. Rodrigo Campos, from Minas Gerais, a meeting of IUMAB Directory occurred and the executives deliberated that, on all the world, would be valid only 3 (three) OFFICIAL WORLDWIDE STANDARDS of Kirlian Cameras (in alphabetic order): Brazil – Newton Milhomens Standard Germany – Peter Mandel Standard Russia – Konstantin Korotkov Standard

Konstantin Korotkov, Rosemary Steel, Peter Mandel 2000 – BRAZIL (THE 3 OFFICIAL STANDARDS) Left – Camera and Kirlian Photo of “Newton Milhomens Standard” – Brazil Center – Camera and Kirlian Photo of “Peter Mandel Standard” – Germany Right – Camera and Kirlian Image of “Konstantin Korotkov” – Russia During the same Vth Worldwide Conference on Kirliangraphy – 2000’s meeting, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov was elected by unanimous decision the President of IUMAB. Prof. Newton Milhomens was elected the Vice-President of IUMAB on Brazil, and also the IUMAB’s Official Plenipotentiary Representative on Brazil. Yet during the same Vth Worldwide Conference on Kirliangraphy-2000, the Rector of UNESC – Universidade do Extremo Sul de Santa Catarina (University of the Extreme South of Saint Katherine), Brazil, officially informed that Kirliangraphy would be introduced in that University, as official subject Matter in the Courses of Medicine and Psychcology, with official authorization from Brazilian Ministry of Education. Yet during the same Vth Worldwide Conference on Kirliangraphy-2000’s meeting, the IUMAB’s Directory deliberated by unanimous decision to change, from day 12/01/2000 toward, the name Kirliangraphy to Bioelectrography, in honor to Fr. Roberto Landell de Moura, the first researcher on world to use this name and to research on this subject during the period from 1904 to 1912. It happened a ceremony of homage to Fr.Landell symbolized by the delivery of a bust of him to Dr. Korotkov by Profa Vania Abatte, Curator of the Landell de Moura’s Museum, at Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil. 2000 – RUSSIA/BRAZIL The letter from Dr. Korotkov, as IUMAB’s President, confirming to exhibit the bust of Fr. Landell in Kirliangraphy Museum, in Russia, what really came to be true. 2000 – RUSSIA The Fr. Roberto Landell de Moura’s bust is in exhibition in the Kirliangraphy Museum, in Russia, beside the busts of Kirlian couple together a book which tells, in Portuguese, the Biography of this Brazilian eminent scientist and another book, in Russian, with the Biography of the Russian couple. 2001 – BRAZIL The Bioelectrography is taught as official subject of the Course of Holistic Terapies, at University Est?cio de S?, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), where the first course of How to Interpret Kirlian Photos, was taught in official manner, by Prof. Newton Milhomens, to the first graduating class in that University. 2001/2002 – AROUND THE WORLD Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, PhD During this period, Dr. Korotkov was travelling to U.S.A., Europe and another countries to divulge Bioelectrography. Prof. Newton Milhomens also was traveling to several South America countries and to all the Brazil to do the same. 2002 – BRAZIL Several theses of Graduation and Post-Graduation, including theses of Post-PhD, were presented in several Brazilian Universities, for example, USP, UNICAMP and UFSC, in several Post-Graduation Courses of these Universities, all of them using the Bioelectrography as an auxiliary researches’ instrument. Several Professors from USP and from another Brazilian Universities are purchasing Kirlian Cameras and realizing serious researches, on several areas of human and vegetable health using the Bioelectrography as an auxiliary instrument in their researches. Also many of these Professors are coming to Curitiba (PR) to learn How to Interpret Kirlian Photos with Prof. Newton Milhomens. It was officially and legally founded, at Santo Paulo (SP) , the UBBA – Unio Brasileira de Bioeletrografia Aplicada (Brazilian Union of Applied Bioelectrography) that is recognized by IUMAB and is the greatest directive Oranization in Brazil on the Bioelectrographic field. Its current President of Honor is Prof. Newton Milhomens and the current Executive President is Dr. Celia Cruz. 2003 - BRAZIL Dr. Selma Milhomens Psychologist and wife of Prof.. Newton Milhomens, began teaching in Bioelectrography UNIABEL - Open University of Educational Freedom in Curitiba (PR), as a discipline curriculum for the courses that University ofBiotherapy curitibana. 2004 - COLOMBIA Dr. Edith Torres Noboa, Ecuador Medical, based in Cali, Colombia, degenerative disease specialist and former student of Professor. Newton Milhomens, is using the Bioelectrography as an aid to diagnosis in their patients with great success. RUSSIA – 2002-2012 Dr. Konstantin Korotkov Dr. Korotkov is using GDV CAMERA for sport research. He is Professor, PhD, Deputy Director of Saint-Petersburg Federal Research Institute of Physical Culture. Dr. Korotkov’s Laboratory creates new GDV Software and GDV Cameras. Every year International Bioelectrography Congress collects hundreds researchers from over the World. 2012 - Human Light System Research Project launched IUMAB community are growing. Research project Human Light System brings new Energy to IUMAB. 2012 - Korotkov’s images – Kirlian images downloaded and processed on GDV Software.Korotkov’s images – BEO gram, GDV images, EPI images, Bio-Well images, etc.

GDV basic Korotkov image is a complex 2-D figure with each pixel characterized by its brightness coded by integer in the range of 0 (“black”) to 255 (“white”). Geometrical parameters of GDV-images (e.g., the area defined as a sum of pixels exceeding the specified brightness threshold; fractality coefficient defined as relation of the length of the image perimeter to its average radius multiplied by 2Pi, the breadth of streamers) contain the information about the object’s characteristics. For example, with an increase of ion concentration in liquid the glow increases while the streamer breadth decreases. To include such data into the structure of a complex biophysical experiment quantitative processing of the obtained images is required. GDV chart, GDV Diagnosis Chart, GDV Maps, GDV Tables

The Energy of Consciousness - new book by Dr. Korotkov 2014 - Bio-Well New model of GDVCAMERA – BIO-WELL opened next level of Electrophotonic Research.  GDVCAMERA BIO-WELL has been developed by Dr. Konstantin Korotkov and brings the powerful technology known as Gas Discharge Visualization technique to market in a more accessible way than ever before. The product consists of a desktop camera and accompanying software, which allows a user to quickly and easily conduct human energy scans. Accessory attachments, like GDV SPUTNIK, BIO-COR and other are also available for purchase to conduct environment and object scans.

2014 - GDV Sputnik GDVSPUTNIK is a sensor and attachment system that affixes to the Bio-Well device, allowing for the energy of an environment to be read. BENEFITS of GDVSPUTNIK: Measure the energy of different places of interest during travels. Allows you to see the influence of Moon phases, Sun storms and environmental conditions to space, and, hence, to your wellbeing. Sputnik allows you to find the best position of a bed in your bedroom. Measure response to human emotions, meditations, pray, both individual and collective within an environment. Sputnik may detect the influence of music to the audience. Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) technology was developed in Russia by the team of Professor Konstantin Korotkov in 1995. The GDV camera is a state-of-the-art computerized system that has superseded traditional Kirlian photography for several reasons. A major difference is that it allows direct, real-time viewing and analysis of changes in human energy fields since the data is quantified and analyzed by sophisticated software. Because the results are obtained so rapidly, it has become an ‘‘express-method’’ not only for diagnosis, but also detecting abnormalities that require more detailed investigation. Most importantly, since this technology and the protocols used are standardized, GDV results obtained by different investigators can be compared with reliability. The results are interpreted based on the energy connections of fingers with different organs and systems via meridians that have been used in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. This technology has extraordinary implications for all health related fields, including conventional as well as complementary or alternative therapies. A comprehensive review of these varied GDV applications can be found in a recent book co-authored with Dr. E. Yakovleva from Moscow Medical University. Research with the GDV device is currently being carried out at universities and research institutes worldwide in medicine, "energy medicine", athletic training, biophysics, parapsychology, and other disciplines (please, see Papers section). GDV has been used in numerous significant research projects that have confirmed its usefulness and reliability and value. GDV technology provides a convenient and user friendly method to assess patients with a wide range of complaints and can also be utilized to assess responses to drugs, meditation, stress reduction therapy or any other interventions.

In all those cases the gas discharge appears near the earth rod. High field intensity is formed near its sharp end when placed into an electrical field. Electrons, which always exist in the air or are emitted by the bodies, start speeding up in this field and, having picked up neces­sary speed, ionize air molecules. Those, in their turn, emit photons, mostly in the blue and ultra­violet spectral regions. Here the glow appears. What is more, from the viewpoint of physics both a nail, a tree, a human finger, and a person can be the rod. Everything depends on the scale. Generators used in Bioelectrography have very small power. It means that they can not give high current, even if you lick the electrode with your tongue. In addition, these generators make use of high-frequency voltages and short impulses, and by the laws of physiology such current can not penetrate into the organism, as it slides on the skin surface. In XX'th century many researchers was attracted by Kirlian photography, hundreds books and papers were published, but scientific acceptance of Kirlian photography was rather limited because the quality of equipment used by early investigators varied considerably and results were inconsistent since there was no standardization. Things improved when a multidisciplinary group headed by William Eidson, professor of physics at Drexel University in Philadelphia, showed it was possible to image electrical parameters of a specimen in real time, thus making it possible to map human energy fields and any rapid changes. This six-year project and related research were summarized in a 1976 article in the prestigious journal Science. Bioelectrography patents.

chunky boy loves spending time with his round sister

[born-to-serve-the-light]

Wormwood

Myrsiks didn’t understand a lot of things.

Even as the small hamlet burned around him, the young Vandal couldn’t fathom why.

What did this do to secure them the Great Machine? This place was far from their Great City, a place Myrsiks had never seen with his own eyes. There was no Ether here, nor much meat, they were...fahr-mers, his father had used that word for humans who grew plants to eat.

The humans were such squishy things, usually. The ones who donned armor and guns put up quite a good fight, but their crew swooped in too quickly for their defense to do much good beyond killing a few easily replaced Dregs.

He clicked his mandibles, in deep thought as he slid into a building, pushing open the slightly-ajar door.

Snapped out of his reverie at the sound of screams, Myrsiks chattered his alarm, snapping his line rifle up, his finger hovering over the trigger, and he hesitated.

A young female human held a child to her chest, obviously trying to keep it quiet. Her other hand held a weapon, a pistol of some sort. She was shaking terribly.

Why hadn’t she killed him yet?

He swallowed heavily, his aim falling off as his hands began to shake. They didn’t have to do this, did they? They didn’t have to kill each other. He could just leave.

He thought so, at least, until a hand gathered his cloak tight around his throat and threw him out into the snow.

Khriks, his father and his captain, had a less optimistic view of humans. They were vermin, thieves, clinging to the Great Machine like parasites.

Myrsiks curled up in the snow, covering his ear-holes like a pup, pretending he couldn’t hear their screams being cut short. He didn’t uncover them, even when his father, still dripping crimson from his claws, delivered a swift kick to his stomach, growling that he would have the Vandal docked if he ever embarrassed him like that again.

Myrsiks didn’t understand.

———————————————————————

Myrsiks had proven himself a capable sniper. Better than his fellows by far. That and his squeamishness for close combat had landed him the honor of being the Crews designated marksman.

What this meant for him was that he got to observe the people they were about to kill. It was a caravan of some kind, with beasts of burden pulling boxes and bags, a few people riding the carts.

The boxes and the chestplates of the guards bore an odd symbol, a tricorn with rounded ends that looked so familiar to the Vandal. He couldn’t place why until he remembered the day that, as a pup, he’d gotten into his fathers trophy chest,

Khriks hadn’t been cross with him, and had placed Myrsiks on his knee to show off his conquests. He’d seen that symbol on a cloak, and his father had puffed up with pride and told Mysriks that it had belonged to a Demon he had killed himself. 

Myrsiks did not believe his father then, nor did he now. Demons were imaginary, made up tales to scare pups into obedience.

He did his job when the time came. Soldier after soldier fell under his crosshairs, and soon their gunfire was silent. As soon as it was, the young Vandal ripped his comm from his head, and buried his face in the snow. He pretended that the people in the caravan had gotten away.

Myrsiks didn’t understand why they couldn’t let them get away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Myrsiks was afraid.

It had been a regular patrol, the young ones chattering away about nothing, barely tolerated by Khriks, enjoying the first warmth of spring.

An odd orb had rolled from nowhere, between Kysiks and Arryks’ feet, perfectly spherical, pulsing ever so slightly. 

Khriks had chattered his alarm, and pulled his son behind a ruined wall, the rest of the Crew following as the orb detonated in a burst of blinding light.

Myrsiks smelled ozone and burnt ether, and knew there was nothing left of his friends. He had no time to mourn, as the world exploded in gunfire.

Humans had never been able to sneak up on them before, how had this happened? Half of the crew was cut down in moments, leaking blood and ether as they twitched and died. Khriks gripped Myrsiks by the cloak and threw him under a nearby alcove, where he would be partially hidden. He didn’t expect that this was done out of kindness, he was Khriks only son, after all.

Figures came from seemingly nowhere, clad in armor so heavy it would slow an Archon, silent as shadows. With blade and bullet, they tore his comrades apart like they were nothing.

 Like they were vermin.

Demons.

The impact shook Myrsiks, his head swimming, hissing in pain as his vision cleared. All he could see was his father, and the largest human he had ever seen. He was unhelmeted, his hands empty, a rifle slung over his shoulder. His skin was dark, and his eyes were some odd shade of yellow.

Khriks roared a challenge, and swung his shock blade in an arc that Myrsiks had seen cleave many a human clean in two.

The Demon, with speed unmatched by any human he’d ever seen, raised his arms, the tempered blade shattering against one of his vambraces as his hand wrapped tight around his fathers wrist.

All at once, the Demon raised his foot and brought it down, pulling back with what appeared to be very little effort. The sound of rending flesh and bone assaulted Myrsiks ears as his fathers knee bent backward, and his arm was ripped from its socket, bringing the mighty captain down to his remaining knee.

Myrsiks was frozen. He wanted to cover his eyes, he had loved his father once, and didn’t want to see him die like this. But he could not bring himself to move.

The Demon spoke then, the human language that was all hard consonants and sharp barks, filled with so much venom that, as he raised a fist, Myrsiks didn’t need a translator to know what would happen next.

The blows fell like rain. Myrsiks was assaulted with the sounds of rending metal, then the shattering of his fathers carapace, and Myrsiks didn’t understand what filled someone with so much anger, so much unrelenting hate that moved them to rain blow after blow long after the Captain was surely dead.

When it finally stopped, Khriks head was no more than a smear on the ground, the Demon covered in purplish red lifeblood. He turned, and locked eyes with Myrsiks.

His mother had told him that Demons were immortal, that many present at the humans own Whirlwind still walked the Earth.

The young Vandal saw the boundless hate that swirled in the Demons eyes, the coursing anger that shook his body and curled his fists. He saw millennia of war, of suffering, of atrocity.

He thought to what they had done just over the past few weeks. He thought of the caravan. He thought of the woman and her child.

Myrsiks understood.
