The *Cydonia Rose* was a tomb. Not a cold one—the environmental systems were working overtime, pushing warm, recycled air through every compartment. The lights were on, dimmed to night-cycle, casting long shadows across the corridors. The ship hummed with the low vibration of its idling reactors, a sound that should have been comforting, mechanical, normal. But it wasn't. It felt like the breathing of something that was waiting to die. Ēriks sat in the corner of the crew common room,

Lost in the Sand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2K23Z9K Two enemies wake in the ashes of Jerusalem—one a deserter drowning in guilt, the other an amnesiac who remembers only how to kill. Hunted across the desert by a vengeful lord, they must disguise themselves as a Crusader knight and his squire to survive. But in the war-torn port of Jaffa, masks slip. Secrets surface. And a feral German street rat with a talent for trouble forces them to confront an impossible question: in a holy war that devours everything, can two broken boys build a family from the ruins?

Khalid is not done, Kalijj Arslan's trap is sprung, and the Crusaders have no where to run. Out numbered four to one, the enemy literally inside the walls As well as surrounding them. Darien's move.

The city burns. Good morning

The kiss broke because the screaming changed. Darien pulled back, his breath ragged, his armored hand still cupping Wylan's face. He turned toward the heavy oak doors where the Tafurs had vanished. The sounds drifting through the splintered wood had shifted. The wild, fanatical shouting of the zealots hunting for plunder was rising in pitch—the terrible, chaotic symphony of a city being torn apart by men who had starved outside its walls for a year. "We have to bar the door," Darien

Arthur doesn't know what is about to pop in on him. given that he's got a report to write, it is definitely not the time to complain about Time travel! Read it, it's worth it.

Chapter 8: GHOST SHIP
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 8: GHOST SHIP
Construct will resume tomorrow as per usual. Friday - second chapter is reserved for The Double Hex. Chapter two is live in 2.5 hours. -
Walls do more than keep things out, they also keep men trapped within. Kalijj Arslan knew the city would fall, and he hasn't been idle. His heirs are irrelevant to his greater schemes, yet his real enemies are massing. The Seljuk Empire was volatile, shifting like the sands, and the Emirs don't tolerate weakness. Aleppo, Damascas, and Rum all have eyes on the throne.
-
Also a way to show that Wylan isn't a victim. He weaponizes the switch to help Darien.

The night isn't over... and dark things are about to begin. The Crusade nearly tore itself apart due to infighting over who really controlled Antioch. Raymond, a complete douche nozzle of a man, took several of the towers of the city, while historically Bohemond controlled the city. The two... hated each other. Then, of course, there is Baldwin of Edessa to deal with. It's really just beginning. Kalijj Arslan's trap is about to snap shut.

Antioch Falls. Good Morning

The thread of light pulsed three times. Sharp. Bright. Urgent. Wylan was on his feet before he understood he had moved, his heart hammering against his ribs, his hands reaching for the scimitar that lay beside the bed. The chamber was dark, the brazier cold, the silence of the Citadel pressing against his ears like water. He did not stop to dress. He pulled Ishan’s father's scimitar from its scabbard and ran. The corridors of the Citadel were empty, the guards who should have stood w

At the rate he is going, Stephen's going to owe Ashot enough gold to buy a castle. Ashot's plan to keep Steffy from running away is in full swing, at some point he is going to realize that Steffy isn't going anywhere and when he does, Ashot's going to finally be happy.

Now you know why Rikard values Niklaus so highly. And there is only way Niklaus could be used to enhance Rikard's immortality specifically, when you clone yourself and enhance your own DNA to give you a blueprint to becoming a GN-2 yourself. -

He was present when Lukas and Eriks discussed it I believe. -

Lukas alone trying to catch up -
The void was cold. Lukas had known it would be cold. Vacuum was vacuum. But knowing and *feeling* were different things. The armored flightsuit protected him from the worst of it, its thermal layers trapping what little heat his body produced, but the cold still seeped through—a slow, creeping numbness that started in his fingers and toes and worked its way inward. He was drifting. The Raptor was gone. The fireball had faded. The debris field stretched around him in all directi

This one would collect money by guilt tripping lords who failed to go on the first crusade, then ship them off to modern day Turkey and tell them to go fight Kalijj Arslan... who would wipe them out to a man. While said Pope would wash his hands of it all and pretend that it was God's will. Yep that pope wasn't a very nice one. Ashot makes him his bitch, so it's worth it.

Mickey has a moral objection to being Probed against his will... with his will that's different... but they never asked.

Oh believe me, I am enjoying a lovely cup right now, staring at a chapter of Vega Vixen 2.0 where Mickey holds up a Grey Alien flying saucer with a staplegun... mmmm I love my mornings.
