To the Last When it was all said and done, one of those super weapons had made it. Their impressive power had become their undoing. The capacity to inflict so much violence at once saw two of the war machines go down moments after breaking through the enemy lines. Humanity had salvaged what they couldContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 10”

Invasion – Chapter 9
Breakthrough The destruction of the mercenaries sent a shockwave through the remainder of humanity. Each loss was felt keenly as the climax of this conflict came ever closer. Lacking fighters, humanity continued to rely on their technology and machines. There were many haphazard weapons built in those days. Many would fail before even being releasedContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 9”
Invasion – Chapter 8
The Last Mercenaries It’s not really the right word since no one was technically paying them. Somehow the name got tossed out there and it seemed to stick rather quickly. Really they were more of a roaming band. Somewhere after the news of Mandahar, several thousands of soldiers struck out to take the fight backContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 8”
Invasion – Chapter 7 – Egypt
Often times the history of our species can become rather muddled. Events seem to overlap and I myself can get them confused if I’m not paying attention. I saw the look in your eye the first time I mentioned Egypt. That quizzical yet confident look. Well done! Your researching hasn’t led you astray. I’m guessingContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 7 – Egypt”
Invasion – Chapter 6
Mandahar When the final beast was felled at Iridina a proverbial shockwave ripped through both parties. For the briefest of moments, humanity began to hope again. The species let out a collective breath, a victory at last. You could call Egypt a win, but many considered that a technicality despite what the messages said. TheContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 6”
Invasion – Chapter 5 – Iridina
If I haven’t made it clear to you yet just how overwhelming this opposing force was, millions of humans were savagely ripped from existence within those first few weeks. Even though the events of “The Night” had seen humanity leave darkness with means capable of defending itself, it appeared as if any preparation had notContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 5 – Iridina”
Invasion – Chapter 4 – Withdraw
Verdana burned for weeks as the beasts razed the city to the very bedrock it was built upon. The horror that had been left in the wake of Serene sent several into madness as the reports spread into the very heart of humanity. In an instant the beasts had shattered the glass of peace inContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 4 – Withdraw”
Invasion – Chapter 3 – Verdana
If there was ever to be a mixing bowl of culture during this time in humanity’s past, Verdana would have been the place. Long before and even through ‘The Night’, humanity remained in unison, having no further enemies from without, humanity looked within itself, a species united, finding its true individuality. As each individual lookedContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 3 – Verdana”
Invasion – Chapter 2 – Serene
I think that if you looked at it from a technical standpoint you could call Serene a battle, but after reminiscing on events left to pass, the term slaughter feels more appropriate. Where children and families once ran along the lakeshores, frozen, shattered bodies lay scattered across the ice and blood stained snow. If youContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 2 – Serene”
Invasion – Chapter 1 – It Begins
You are not the first of our kind you know. There have been several iterations of us before, and there will be many more after, of that, I’m sure. Almost every time it has ended in disastrous results, each time humanity hurling self-inflicted doom upon itself in one dramatic fashion after another. That is, allContinue reading “Invasion – Chapter 1 – It Begins”
