Battleteam Fiction

Zakath crept to the closest side of the log and risked another look at the three men. They now had their hands raised up to the sky and appeared to be chanting. After a second, Zakath could feel dark power wrapping around and through them. And then they threw their hands downward.

Zakath was instantly pinned onto the ground as he felt the sheer power of the Dark Side crushing him, as if grinding him underneath its heel. A heartbeat later, sheer agony inflamed every nerve ending in his body as a cloud of dark energy appeared and began to wrap around him. For the briefest of seconds, he felt warm. And then his blood turned to ice as the energy began to attack his scales, slowly beginning to dissolve it. He tried to choke out a painful groan, but found that his throat was crushed shut as well, as if someone was intent on choking the life out of him.

:You are Undesirable scum. The Dark Brotherhood is better off without you:

Zakath could taste the sheer hatred that dripped from the Force-transmitted thought, as if it were poison that burned on contact. He was beginning to see black clouds appearing rapidly at the edge of his vision as he struggled in vain to escape the dark grip he was in.

:You will die. This outcome was inevitable the instant our Grand Master marked you for death:

Zakath couldn’t even let out a whimper as he felt death close in on him, but could only stare up at the brilliant blue sky that was rapidly becoming hidden under black clouds as the Force set his body ablaze. He could only hope that death would come quickly.

:But first… the Force will be stripped from you. You are unworthy of its power.:

Holocron: General News

Welcome to our second report, my dear friends! Things have settled down a bit, but I’m pleased to report that activity is still constant, and that on the fictional development front, things are beginning to pick up steam. The fiction linked above details how this team came to be, and next month’s report will detail how we actually came to be named the Tal’mahe’Ra.

We are also beginning the creative process of putting together our first mission- our first sanctioned operation, if you will- from the Clan Summit. We are still very much in the planning stages, but we hope to have an exciting competition put together soon that will begin to develop us as a team! Stay tuned for further information, and I will keep you advised as things progress!

Holocron: Competitions

• Dozen Games for Arcona: Week 3 - Slimy

Let's slow things down a bit from last week and kill some slimes with a big sword in this fun flash game comp, run by our very own Xenna!

• [Arcona] In A Tavern Far, Far Away..

In a land far away, there exists a world of magic and wonder. People pursue wizardry instead of the force, use swords opposed to sabers and ride in carriages instead of YT-1300 light freighters...

Your task is to draw your character in a fantasy like setting. Do they use magic, or are they a great warrior? Perhaps they're a sneaky rogue, or a simple innkeeper.

Submissions may be either digital or traditional.

Good luck, and have fun!

BTL’s Thoughts

Greetings all!

This has been a relatively fun-filled month for us, with a fine variety of competitions, Sins of the Past wrapping up in the first week of May, and activity level remaining on a consistently active level. I know some of you are having a relatively rocky month, with school, work, spring, and Real Life stuff going on, and yet, y’all still managed to do stuff and have fun! That’s always a beautiful thing!

On a Wiki note, with our base selected, work on it will be picking up steam. I will be putting in for a new Wiki Ideas competition very soon that’ll be all about focusing on the NPCs we interact with, both on our ship, and within our base. As always, the focus will be on the idea, not forcing y’all to grind on in inglorious Wiki work. And of course, the opportunity for Crescents will be there for the top three places! So stay tuned for an announcement from me on that!

With the start of June, it’s shaping up to be a beautiful and fun-filled summer, and I hope each and every one of you get the chance to go outside, and catch some rays! As always, my proverbial office door is open, so feel free to hit me up if you need any help or want ideas on how to have fun in Arcona and the Brotherhood!

Yours,

~Zakath
