Galivas Wrapped in Red

His heart began to race with each pass through the rings, the vibrant red ribbon slowly embracing the two together into a tight bondage. The breathing began to slow, deeper breaths, pushing out the chest and feeling the tight resistance of the red velvet pulling on the heavy golden rings. With one last deep breath, filling his lungs with the musky air, he pulls his arms to his sides, tightening the binds until the other was helplessly secured to his naked body.

"Happy Birthday, my beloved brother."

Bantioc Everlasting Life

As the army poured from the Capitol, the General approached the people.

"I am not here to enslave you, I am not here to slaughter you. I am here in terms of peace and harmony." He announced, facing the crowds amassed from their homes and their hideouts. The Arinos exchanged looks, chattering in silence as they all watched the Galivian soldiers set down their weapons and removed their helmets

"I am here to bring you Happiness, Joy, and above all, Love." He lowered his weapon as he watched the final soldier sheath his blade and unbuckled it from his waist.

"I am Kaulcifer Aurios, General of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Galivian Armed Forces. Before you, lies the man you once called Emperor, the man who has failed you. Accept me as your ruler, and you shall witness your nation prosper, grow, and above all, ascend." He reached towards the crowd, the soldiers taking their steps away, collecting their weapons and returning to their vehicles.

"I am Everlasting. I am Life. I will lead you, my fellow citizens of Bantioc, to Glory!" The crowd rose to applaud, some cheering to their newly crowned emperor.

A smile appeared on his face, the ends of his lips reaching his ears...

and several small, indistinguishable eyes peeling open.

"And you shall all serve me in due time...." He whispered, turning away from the mass to hide his face. "...in due time, you will all be a part of me."

Veloo A Moment of Euphoria

"Ohh... Alexi... Can you feel it?"

"Rrrrrgh..."

"How about this?"

"Rrrrrgh..."

No matter what the Warden attempted, he would only twitch or growl.

"I can feel it, Alexi, your body wants it, craves it... Ohh... I love you, you animal... Can you feel it?"

"Rrrrrgh..."

"All of what you are belongs to me, Alexi... my precious, loving, warrior."

And then the taser goes off again, the snapping of electric arcs, lighting up the dim room.

"My precious, steadfast warrior."

Galivas The South Shore Bather

"Hail! Enjoying the weather?"

"This is South Shore for you... or at least I think that's how you say it in your language."

"I'm looking to getting my annual tan before Winter hits, rather not be caught without my dark tones."

 "What do you mean 'Tan Lines'..?"

"Huh... Didn't know that would happen to anyone. Alright, you've convinced me. Here, take this. I'd rather get an even tan."

"... Why don't you join me? I'd love to have my comrade lying besides me."

"You're just being shy. We Warriors aren't afraid of showing our  pride and our honor."

Bantioc Down in Engineering

I'm Engineering Officer, Ensign Tico Tau of the Avantgarde.

How's Life as a pirate? HA! Real funny... No, I just stay here and do my own thing, I make sure the core never exceeds the safety margins, and tinker with my Railgun that’s sitting on the workbench. I hardly even notice whether we’re on shore leave or not because I have more fun tinkering with this Promenade Class Zero-Point than watching a stripper.

Kind of regret flunking out of the Academies because if I actually pulled my weight and did decently enough, I would’ve even tinkered with maybe an Emperor Class Auxiliary Core. I mean, just think of all the numbers!

Uh, you mentioned you’ve known people who have interests I have...

And you’ve pretty much read through my… “Notes”

It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve felt something like this. The Dragonkins practically have no sense of relationship aside from being chummy with each other and occasional sweaty nights.

You sure about this?

It’s kind of been a while since I’ve really had actual experience. The earliest I can think of was with this senior from the Academy.

Needing… a… break? 

Pirate Late Night Navigation

Night Sailing's always the best, at least for Rehhas. No one to bother his charting, no one to move into his view, and no one to snoop in when he's taking care of business... well, at least until he starts moaning too loudly. Yep, Night Sailing's the best.

Bantioc Damn Greenhorns!

Frustrated and fed up, craving and unsatisfied, the officer found a private alcove behind a set of roaring engines deep within the belly of the battleship.

"Damn Greenhorns." muttered, as he tossed away the last pieces of his uniform off to one side.

"Finish what you started." he grunted, working it thoroughly until the eventual bliss replaced all his stress.
