(Content Warning: Body Horror) A lone voice screams it's rage into a ceaseless, and uncaring void. A man thrashes against his restraints, but they only tighten in response. Visions flash into Nar's mind. Visions of a life he could have had. A life of joy, and happiness. A life with his beloved cousin, and best friend. A life he threw away.

The end of Nar's fall is met with hard, cold concrete. He wastes no time in pushing himself back to his feet. It takes him a moment to orient himself in his new surroundings. He's in a hallway, similar to the one he'd just come from, only this one had a concrete floor. The only lights for the hallway were a dim red, which bathed the hallway, and the debris inside in a maroon light. It gave the hallway the appearance of being coated in dried blood. Not only that, but there was no end in sight on...

How long has it been since they went back into the AHS? Nar can't tell anymore. What little rest he, and the group have been able to get is always short lived. Their pursuer never seems to need any sort of rest, and he's relentless in his chase. While Maddy could travel through the AHS without any need for rest, or sustenance, the same could not be said for the other two. It put them at a severe disadvantage. The only good news so far was that the traps their pursuer had put out were getting...

It's been over a week since Nar and Ruby had first arrived at the Mount Lunae Wilderness Resort. The shock of seeing Asuka, but 20 years older still hadn't quite dissipated yet, but the two were starting to get used to it. Turns out, Asuka here is some sort of 'Keeper' who helps people with the help of some sort of fae. Because of this, the resort is no stranger to weirdness. The first time Nar saw Asuka's 'other self', Maddy, he nearly had a heart attack. So far, most of the interactions Nar ...

7 young adults/older teens stand in a semi-circle around a purple door, which sports what looks to be a white equals sign at about head height. One of them stands in front of the door, while the others gather around him in the semi-circle. The stallion in the middle is the oldest of the group at 21. He's a pegasus with the physique, and clothing of a typical jock. His friends know him as "Austin." Then, from left to right in the semi-circle there's a female gryphon called 'Tipps', who is 19. The...

What remains of the forward team stands in what looks to be a master bedroom to a relatively large house. The room itself is fairly spacious, with what looked to be a fully fledged bathroom, closet, and even a small study. In the middle of the room rests a king sized bed, with a night stand to the left of it. The nightstand sports a picture frame with a picture of what looked to be a married couple on their honeymoon. The bed, sports the bride of said photo, only a few decades older, and much le...

Things kept getting worse, and worse. First, the news of a litch running around. Then the news that he'd killed the majority of the explorers on this operation. Then the team started to run low on supplies, and finally the druid never came back after she went to forage for food last night. The team was preparing to abandon their mission, and head out of the AHS. That was, until they found the castle. The halls of the castle were vast. Paintings, and sculptures lined it's walls, some depicting...

Central Headquarters. By far, the largest of the E.S.E.E's HQs. Though on the outside it was no larger than the a small office building, the inside was much larger. Though Nar expected that when he noticed the Astral Highway door on the front of the building. He, and the 9 other members of the E.S.E.E's northern branch who came with him arrived at central HQ just moments ago. They'd practically stepped off of the train, and into the HQ with how close to the station the HQ was. The outside of ...

//Was going to post this as a regular post, but forgot I was still logged in as a different character, and CA won't let me paste this into the regular post box. 2 Days. A poor little girl has been lost in the Astral Highway System for 2 days. Nar couldn't even begin to imagine just what this little girl was going through. Alone in a chaotic mess of topographies, with no way of knowing anyone was looking for her. Alone, afraid, and likely starting to lose herself. The amount of luck he's h...

Nar loved to watch the sunset before heading off to bed for the night. It was just nice to be able to take a moment to rest, and relax after a long day of working. Plus, the sunset sky was always quite pretty over Ponyville, and with his vantage point there were no structures to obscure his view. Today's sunset was particularly beautiful, and Nar was more than happy to soak it in. He probably would have stayed still for the entirety of the sunset if it weren't for one issue. A scream cut shor...

//DISCLAIMER: Some of the content featured in this post may be unsettling, or disturbing to some readers. The streets of Ponyville had quieted down significantly compared to the afternoon buzz, and bumble. Where the streets had been filled with ponies trying to get from here to there just a few hours ago they were now largely empty, and quiet. The sun's light had stopped illuminating the streets thirty minutes ago, and the street lamps were all that provided light for the nighttime travelers...

I've mentioned this organization a few times in previous posts, so I thought I'd make a blog explaining them in more detail. What is the Arcane Justiciar?: The Arcane Justiciar is a military organization which creates,oversees, and enforces laws on magic use in Nar's home country of Ysrgim. Justiciar camps, outposts, forts, and prisons can be found all over Ysgrim. Recently the Justiciar has set up an outpost in Vanhoover, and is currently attempting to gain permission to establish a fort n...

//Good vibe lore post comin' atcha. The wizard guild of Myoorclaw (Pronounced: Me-your-claw) wasn't exactly large for Ysgrim guild standards, but it was certainly a lively one. Based in the small town of Vendon Myoorclaw undertook tasks sent in by citizens of the nearby area that needed the help of a mage. Every mage in Myoorclaw had their own unique magic. Unlike their wizard counterparts from Equestria mages in Ysgrim tended to focus on one magic type, and hone their skills with it rather t...

//No travel post today. Have a pleasant lore post instead. The sound of fillies and colts at play permeates the early evening in the small village of Frakkas. The farmers and craftsmen are hard at work, while the rest of the village goes about it's business. Hunters, and foragers scour the nearby woods for food. Mares weave clothing, cloths, and linens. Others bake bread, and prepare meals. The elder sits outside of his home giving counsel to those seeking it, and the traders who have come in...

//Nar's backstory is pretty murky, and I haven't explored it much so here's an attempt to clear things up. A lone stallion enters a remote cave situated near the middle of Mount Highmoor. A large rucksack is situated on his back. He's been to this exact cave many times before. Jek Kardul is a stallion of modest upbringing, and living. Though he's never been happy with his poverty things have been looking much better for the farmer in the past few years. 3 years ago Jek met a mare more beauti...

Nearly three weeks of constant battle. With freshly battle-scarred bodies, and exhausted minds the two casters trudge through the darkness ahead. The only light they have comes from a light cantrip being cast by the wizard. The light only illuminates 30 feet ahead with their path ahead shrouded in darkness. The two stopped trying to lighten the mood days ago. At this point they were both aware of how hopeless their situation was. They were sent in here to die. If the thing they were sent in here...

The room smelled of cheap butterscotch candies, and disinfecting wipes. Sitting across from Nar was his counselor. The two were in the middle of an exercise. "Alright Nar. We're going to try something a little different. I'm going to play some tapes for you, and i want you to act exactly as you would if these events were happening in person." The counselor takes a video tape from his desk and inserts it into a video player. A few moments later a video begins to play. At first the video is an ...

//You may want to grab some snacks and a drink. This is a long read. Links to music added for ambiance. The camp around Nar was small, and very much makeshift. Tents made of any material that could be placed over two sticks, and fires burning old newspapers, as well as boxes, and small pieces of wood. This was home for the 6 creatures who were there at the time. Each of them had tried to make their way through the Highway, but had turned back. They had nowhere else to go, and simply formed th...

It hadn't been more than an hour since Nar and his new companion left Shoaltown. So far everything's been just fine. Some rough footing here and there, but it wasn't anything the two couldn't handle. The two were have a pretty lively conversation as they went. Nar was so wrapped up in the conversation that he failed to notice the star on the door ahead of them was nearly completely faded. Without looking he turns the doorknob, opens the door, and steps inside. Nar takes a moment to look aroun...

Juno was pretty tired after a long graveyard shift. Being the only employee on shift was pretty tiring, but he was able to get done and get home without collapsing. He lazily unlocks his apartment's front door and shoves the door open with the full weight of his body. He takes a few seconds to throw off his work uniform and put on some sleeping clothes before he goes to lie in bed. Just before lying down Juno spots an envelope on the bed. The outside simply says "Juno." Might just be a letter fr...

//Instead of one giant wall post, I've decided to continue my little story in the form of a blog. Links to music provided if you want some ambiance. If I've posted this in the wrong place, someone please privately message me and inform me of a better place to post this. At 2:40 PM 2/26/18, Facility 16 military personnel gather within the facility's cafeteria. There are 15 Alpha's, 5 betas (not including military personnel), 10 military personnel, and 1 gamma.
