Life called me away for a long time. Teenagers. Couldn't get a moment in edgewise until they started asserting more of their independence. Now the tight metal cables of parental supervision are relaxing. The thing about equal and opposite reactions is when you have to keep them under your wing... they keep you tied down as well.

Then again, my eldest is looking at driver's ed. My respite may not last...

Donotlike13 - 2 years ago

Huh nice to see your still around

Smallskinnyboy - 3 years ago

Wow! Couldn't resist jerking off. Cool work!

Smb64 - 11 years ago

wow is all I can say.... I don't know why.... but all this tech talk is making me hard as well... and normally it's just the unbirth doing that... you have one hell of an imagination... or should I say.... Imonjination

jacquelope - 11 years ago

Part of it was how easy it was to stick to the first person single perspective. IIRC there were many other issues that people brought up with Ian Scranton besides the lack of relating to the personal. I expected those to surface here until I could get down to spotting and fixing them.

Imrhys - 11 years ago

BTW, this was as clean a copy, grammar & punc, as you ever did in EPWG. And not sure why you thought this needs a "severe beating." You've improved since Ian days. You have taken the lesson well to heart that "audiences relate to the personal not the universal." Major improvement over the Ian days. Major.

Imrhys - 11 years ago

Just to let you know, three, four years later, EPWG has changed some, and my own Starting Over #1 was alpha alpha copy. To the point I've done more face palming than anything from comments thus far >_>

jacquelope - 11 years ago

April? Not likely. I need input from people on how to polish this. My last set of EPWG submissions were disastrous SPECIFICALLY because the criticisms that I got should have been ironed out BEFORE EPWG. EPWG was receiving pre-pre-pre release level writing.

jacquelope - 15 years ago

Not really an article; all that was more of a recap of what was written in the story. A sort of Cliff's Notes.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Ah! That BTW prevents a loooot of my concerns, then. Thankee.

Imrhys - 15 years ago

Agreed on both counts.

Imrhys - 15 years ago

You could roll this alone into its own article, lol.

jacquelope - 15 years ago

As exo-symbiote adults they would be nothing more than an annoyance. Their prey would simply get rejuvenated.

Remember from the story that the Nivalavi fairies have a strict religious rule: all Silurhean children caught in the path of a Nivalavi army (in this case the Nangwaya tribe) must be taken to Daelath camps. All unarmed civilians not caught casting offensive spells, and all warriors who lay down their arms are to be taken to the camps. Zero exception. Their goddess demands it.

These prisoners are forced to go without meat and turn into exo-symbiotes. Without a Silurhean home to go back to, they are forced to live with the Nangwaya, merging with them and adding genetic diversity to their highly exogamic populace.

Rijaal Haj-Bollar's mistake was so big because he hijacked the Biashal tribe into ignoring Nangwaya religious law (which their people informally agreed to follow).

Here's Rijaal's reasoning: If the Imperishable Empire arrived, they would not have been able to handle these prisoners, what with them all being needed in a war against interstellar invaders. The Nangwaya would have had a rude awakening coming.

Chieftain Linjara knew that risk was real. She was biding time to think of a solution, and then Roshana showed up with a solution: bring the mighty Siluvarans into the fight. And even THAT presented more problems, like the fear that the Siluvaran arch magi (the Matrons) would come and turn the Bollars into fairies again.

That's why Linjara pledged that her armies would stop any such Matrons from coming to Absegami. But by then Clanlord Rijaal was tired of her overriding his agenda, and he let his agenda blind him.

BTW: I've **RULES** in place in my universe that prevent children from eating people and also prevent people from eating children. Seriously. There's plenty of adult prey in this story line to last a LIFETIME...

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Worth it.

Worth every hour required to read it all.

French_snack - 15 years ago

OK... "Really big things", indeed! Though I'm glad it ended happily for the remaining main characters. I'd been getting a little worried...

As always, I'm blown away by the detail and... well, coherent complexity of the universe you've created. Yet after all that, you end it with something appropriately small-scale and intimate and warm and fun. Talk about an ending! :)

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Interesting...

So, do you suppose their purpose will ever be unveiled?

jacquelope - 15 years ago

They're not all Caucasians. Tuyen Pham is a child of this group; she's of Vietnamese descent. There's also blacks, Hispanics and several other ethnic groups in the mix. They also never ventured near the Bollar army.

The Cerulean Dawn were hidden by the handful of Psi-Mages in their group; but their affairs are not actually within the scope of this story.

Time was not on the Cerulean Dawn's side with regards to staying hidden. For one their half-fairy children are one hell of an anomaly. But they've been lucky so far, and very low-key. Now that the galaxy is coming to this planet they have been saved by the bell: now they can come out and blend in with the flood of tourists and other groups that will converge on the planet.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Cerulean Dawn is once again a pivotal player in events... and as always I have no idea of their motives, origins, or methods. O_o

You'd think Caucasian soldiers would be easier to notice in a Bollar army, though; maybe it was assumed they were part fairy or something. Or the armor really is just THAT concealing.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Ian asks a fairy woman to marry him.
A civil war almost breaks out due to misunderstandings and everyone not having been given the same memo on what happened, what happened before, and what happened after.
And now a giant rock will fall from the sky and kill everyone.

This has been a most productive chapter, and it's always nice to see the children get along with the threat of imminent demise should they do otherwise...

French_snack - 16 years ago

You do wield a complex tale. It may take some effort keeping up with it, but I admire the detail, and the way you bring it all together.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

There's many dark ironies here. You said Abtawa was the name of a mythic South African fairy; said fairy gobbled up the Fairy Food industry. |3 In addition, of course, to the presence of Fairy Food being operated by those (humans) that Fairies (the Grue) would consider food.

And McD finally bested out BK and all it's other corporation in this storyline until the clown's reign was ended by a younger, fiercer company that was in turn devoured by a younger, fiercer subsidiary company... @_@

jacquelope - 15 years ago

"Sans selves" may not go as the Africans plan; then again, some don't even care, especially those liberal Africans who don't have psychic abilities.

And if they can breed psychic abilities into fairies, they're REALLY not going to care if the two species merge.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Making the entire Earth (sans selves) obsolete is quite a feat, but they do seem to be achieving it.

jacquelope - 15 years ago

The African Union got tired of their continent and peoples being everyone's bitch. They just want payback for over a THOUSAND years of exploitation.

This is not dissimilar to the Russians when they formed the Soviet Union; except the African Union hasn't taken over neighboring countries to form an "Iron Curtain". Instead the AU wants payback by making the Earth Federation obsolete... and isolated, too.

The fairies come to civilize humans in a slow but inexorable siren song-style reverse-invasion. The African Union has turned this to their advantage, making themselves the recipient of the benefits. Remember that blog I wrote about "Columbia"? Yeah, these guys have a different, opposite perspective on that.

Imrhys: eh, I'm still working on that "modern date" thing. @_@

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

A major faction INDEED.

A whole continent of Earth not only not involved in the Federation, but making interstellar and intergalactic alliances, waging wars, and harboring fugitives and fairies is definitely not a matter to take lightly.

Imrhys - 16 years ago

Jezz, you need to start writing a lot more on this universe soon >_>

One question: what year is considered modern date? 2412?

Sorry if you have it somewhere else, but you have so much info in these "files" that I sometimes have a hard time keeping a grasp on this stuff. But I need dates to keep things in order >_>

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

I don't think so. Personally, I think they just wanted the fetishable content... the writing was as high class as usual. 'Red skies at night, Devil's delight' got a ton more with less backstory or logical reasons WHY it happened (no offense meant ^^) so I'm guessing it was simply the fetish aspect.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Thanks, LV! I wonder if it got fewer faves because of the lack of fetish-able content? My story is more than just one vore/unbirth scene after another. Still, it could just be the quality of my writing?

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Oh come on! It was a good tale, I greatly enjoyed it, and I would like to thank you for posting it.

Is that so hard for people to say? If it is, I am truly woeful... so allow me to say it. Jac, the combat was inspired, as was the story. You are definitely an artist worth the watching!

deletedaccount505 - 16 years ago

This was a good read. They're more complex and evolved than us, except for the carnivorous ones.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

I second the opinion of Master French-Snack; the sex was rather copious, and part of me was mislead into thinking Ian would eat her rather than be unbirthed due to the flow of the motion in the sucking, but the story is nevertheless incredible.

French_snack - 16 years ago

Amazing writing, as always. Top-notch descriptions; you bring the characters, and their feelings, alive.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

I gathered that. He's sort of the Kronos/ Saturn of your universe. But is a God ever truly dead? After all, you said black holes are small pieces of him that yet live...

I actually do have a theological question for you, however, or perhaps a request would be better; are there any other Gods, Goddesses, Titans, Mythos, Fates, Dooms, and/or Destinies of which I should be aware? What are their names and natures? Who worship them, and what strange artifacts might they cause in this world?

Metaphysical phenomena like the Bloodvine and Erubu always seem to make me curious. Is it a warring Duality, a Trinity at odds, or a whole Pantheon of which we were completely uninformed?

jacquelope - 16 years ago

He dead. (Slang intended) And good riddance, you better believe it. That fool was no joke. And yeah, you're close with Rihanna. Look for a new entry about that in the Glossary, soon. Rheanna = the title of fairy QUEEN. (Well, the evil one.) Trust me, the woman who holds that title is just as bad as the mythical Erebu, if you run into her.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Rihanna = RHEA Anna?

Sorry, just had fun with phonetics. But in all seriousness this does in fact explain a very good deal of material and introduces us a bit further into your unique mythos. That, and we finally see a Male God, even if he is thought dead.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Death Stars? Nah. Force Drain. And I mean, epic Force Drain. Something even ten thousand Palpatines couldn't muster.

Humans know of this power and consider it a Holy Grail of skillsets. No one knows how to achieve it, though. As of 2408 human Psi-Mages are about as close to being able to do Epic Force Drain as the Roman Empire was close to hyperspace travel!

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

...

You *had* to make this hard, didn't you?

No simple magic sword or nuke is going to kill a creature like Isaya now. None.

Now I have to think up ways to actually defeat one of the mighty Dryads and not die or accidently let her live.

Oh, wait... the Death Star does come to mind, but the whole "massive magics" and possibility of interplanerary or interstellar ones does put a few flaws into that plan.

GAH THIS IS HARD!!!

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

While more than a few of my characters to come would raise an eyebrow at the terms mythical and legend in regards to vampires, it's true enough. After all, where but in stories do gods, goddesses, and epics live?

This explained many of my prior questions well, and did so in a format that fits your other stories well. Still hope to see the Goddesses in action, but heck, that's just personal whim. And the fairies make sense to a point...

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Hmmmm. Some clarifications are needed. So I'm uploading a revised version of this chapter. Thanks for the heads up!

jacquelope - 16 years ago

One of Tuyen's Meluwe was the one killed by Roshana in Chapter 6. Interesting point about Henna; but Henna is pregnant. Not even the Biashal would let any pregnant fairy die. That goes TOO far for them. Else Tuyen would have chopped her head off, barehanded.

KavenBach - 16 years ago

Okay, this chapter went down (pun intended) a LOT easier than the last two. >_<.

So Shahab's people are starting to prove themselves in terms of being humane (Or would that be "Siluvane?" (: ). More and more I'm seeing the humans here are the bloodthirsty corrupt ones. Social statement, much, sir? >_<.

The escape sequence was a little confusing --- I had a tough time figuring out who was doing what --- but I must say it was nice to see Ian put his new empowered body to good use. I daresay he returned the favor to Roshana for saving her life... he only owes her for, like, twenty more times now. XD

On that note, interesting that said fairy --- Tuyen Phan? --- would have sent her, uh, "meluwa" into that room in the first place... or was she referring to someone else than Ami? One of the two Roshana killed in self-defense? It wasn't entirely clear to me. Upon re-reading I'm guessing it was one of the two Roshana killed in Self-Defense. Curious, though, that Tuyen would then help protect Henna from the guns...

Meh, I'm just nitpicky today. :) I would have liked to see what Ian wanted to do to Nidale though... ;)

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Unless it's Ian's Destiny to somehow stop the conflict, I cannot see this ending if it's been like this so long.

Ares has got to LOVE these cultures- hot immortal babes fighting forever...

jacquelope - 16 years ago

They've been fighting for 400 million years. Literally.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Leaves me with a single 'burning' question, though I don't mean to 'knock on wood'; The Ents.
How do the interstellar invulnerable tree spirit women get along with the Shepards of the Forest?

Imrhys - 16 years ago

Loggers beware, lol

Imrhys - 16 years ago

I seriously wish I could write bio's for my characters like this. Sooooo... << >> << Where is Ian's bio?

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

She is indeed quite a specimen, and a rather impressive one at that... let's ensure she and "L" never, ever, ever meet, though. Two well known occasional criminals with completely and utterly different viewpoints in life- and they'd probably hate each other's guts. *note to self- ask permission in one years time to write story where they do meet somehow*

French_snack - 16 years ago

She sounds quite admirable. :D Well done on creating a character who's heroic without succumbing to absurd superheroism, principled in a credible way, and sexy but not stereotypically vapid. She sounds like some someone who deserves looking up to, while retaining a distinctly individual and human personality.

Fabhar - 16 years ago

Cool.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Fascinating. No questions this time...

deidara - 16 years ago

whoa i like it is super awsome ^^

KavenBach - 16 years ago

It still amazes me how Self-Defense is considered a capital crime... even though that is precisely the excuse these people are using to commit genocide. :| What was Roshana supposed to do, LET them stab a knife through her face too? What's her crime, if not that she refused to die like a good girl? I can't wait to see what happens when she reveals --- possibly through that interrogation --- her true origins. I've gathered that she has a few secrets... now wouldn't it just SUCK if these murderers discovered she'd been sent to find them and decide if they deserved rescue from space... >_<.

To me the "Incorruptible Children" are more corrupt than the Silhureans. At least the Silhureans eat because they have to; Nidale's twisting of what she saw in Ian's mind (essentially, she raped him body and mind) is the perfect example of how misled these poor creatures are.

Ian felt a little wierd in this one though... after being mind-raped it might make sense, but the two extremes --- breakdown over Hollani, then tears of laughter within five minutes --- is a little hard for me, personally, to swallow...

Heh. This wasn't supposed to be a review. >_<.

deidara - 16 years ago

sweet

Fabhar - 16 years ago

Well, this is looking decidedly negative. I hope Roshana will be alright.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Thanks for the comments - wow, I actually managed to get the story across the way I'd intended. I edited these 2 chapters a million times to get it right. (And I still had to do another edit on the last part! @_@)

Roshana's survival is up for grabs. They were not kidding when they said she should wish for a summary execution.

Oh and rest assured, while Ian the character (and most importantly, you the reader) landed smack dab in the middle of the story of the Arajo Freehold, the full story of Arajo people and their fairy allies will be told.

French_snack - 16 years ago

Wow... Quite a few twists in these two chapters - even if they were foreshadowed by an extreme sense of danger in the previous one. Your descriptions and attention to detail are, as always, incredibly good. The complex interplay of relations between groups and between individuals remains fascinating.

Hollani's sudden death was a shock. It was almost as if I could witness it through Roshana's experiences, picturing the scene. It was very effective indeed, and drove home the point that the danger *is* real; their enemies *are* lethal (all the more so because of their blind prejudice). It also makes me think that it would not be impossible for Roshana to die to - even if I'm still expecting her to survive. It's not often a writer can create a real sense that his characters' survival is at stake.

Salkani's death saddened me too, although it was nice to see the Arari again.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

There are seldom truly evil people in war- they reserve their talents for peacetime, wherein they are guaranteed a place in history for the slaughter of innocents. There are fanatics and good people who serve them or work alongside them in war, people of conscience who often regret taking a life even when necessary, and those that enjoy killing but do their deeds so that others will not be killed. And evil often depends on one's point of view. To a Masque, any kind of vore would be evil, whether it be oral digestion or renewing unbirth/rebirth. To a Silhuran meat eating is not only nutritious but a blessed, god-sanctioned calling.. and as much of a taboo to a Bollar as it would be to a Masque. To the Silhurans the Bollar's blessing from Gaia would be disturbing, unnatural, and perverse, as it would seem to non-voraphiles. The problem arises when conflicting viewpoints meet in phyical conflict and leave people like Hollani dead, and in the death of innocents there is a tragedy that moves bystanders to claim the commiters are evil. Callous, yes. Harsh and unforgiving, yes. Evil- no, I do not think so. People die in war. Full cities of people that want to eat you are just an opportune target to destroy or avoid... but that is just the musings of a fanatic who believes everything dies eventually and views the world accordingly.

Anyway... I meant to say I enjoyed this, but I was sidetracked by a comment on fanatism and the evil, and I waxed philosophic. So: I enjoyed this.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

These aren't Siluvarans, they're the wild exo-symbiotes. And the Bollars killed all those fairies because the Silurheans would EAT them. They just misjudged two particular ones. That fairy city you just read being blown up? They'd have hunted and eaten the Bollars if they could. It's not so much fanaticism as it is about survival. I'll make sure to get to this in Chapter 8...

KavenBach - 16 years ago

Hmm... personally I think Gaia should retract her blessing from fairies like those.

Tell me, is it normal that right now I want the Silhureans to wipe out all the others on that planet, and the more gruesomely, the better?

I guess I just have an innate hatred for ANY fanatics... and you, sir, have made it clear that the Siluvarans and Bollars are evil fanatics.

KavenBach - 16 years ago

Lol. It was a joke, but nonetheless... I loathe when someone tells me the end of a movie I haven't seen yet. Except Titanic, of course; I was glad to know Leo died. >_<.

Fabhar - 16 years ago

Oh, crap! Sorry! God, I'm an idiot. Maybe the author can remove my post or something? I feel really stupid.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Scandelously depraved is Amber, I will admit, but what about simply depraved?

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

But I thought she was my little green friend...

Good strategy though. *cough still say God has a sense of humor about all this though cough*

jacquelope - 16 years ago

There's an entry in the general Dryads species codex that specifically mentions there is NO PROOF that Dryads cannot have a presence on multiple worlds at once. And that Dryads also do not let onto their full abilities.

So you're basically left to BELIEVE Isaya when she says she could be killed by destroying her host tree. In a galaxy where enemies can turn whole worlds into charcoal this is a good strategy not to let anyone know you control an entire global ecosystem, or several...

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Sooooooooooooooooo....

One of the oldest, most famous, and powerful Dryads of the universe... is a MISTAKE?? She crash landed and just stayed stuck there? Ahhh.

That's even more proof God has a sense of humor. Some of the other bits are humans and the platypus.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Oh, she can be found in one story here:
http://aryion.com/g3/showitem.php?id=161160

She will also meet Ian Scranton for the first time at the end of "The Many Journies of Ian Scranton" ^_^

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Hah. Equal to Karbo's Felarya, eh? I just wanted to say that was one hell of a memorable compliment. Much thanks!

Fabhar - 16 years ago

I swear, this alternate future world you have created is at LEAST equal to Karbo's Felarya, if not better. Sorry for the double post, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is saying anything.

Fabhar - 16 years ago

Ah, how I wish this was real... So beautiful...

jacquelope - 17 years ago

On second thought, you know, Mr K, I'm thinking that on #14, maybe I should rethink the cumbustion thing. Perhaps sperm shouldn't trigger the life force feedback/combustion effect. See my PM for why!

jacquelope - 17 years ago

About your commentary - if you hate fairies now, wait'll I get into just a FEW of the *scary* freaky sexual things they can do. Read and be shocked:
http://www.aryion.com/g3/showitem.php?id=155938
(note: I'm editing all the stories in that folder in the near future)

#13 - yeah, fairies could pretty much fireball their way out of captivity in any human facility in the 21st century. Or teleport. One fairy could kick a LOT of 21st century human ass. But they'd rather breed with us.

#14 - cumbustion. Oh LORD!

KavenBach - 17 years ago

#10/#14 I see you chose to ignore my commentary on human women... >_<.

#12: You TEASE then! ^_^

#13: Besides, seem to me humans would be insane to play with someone who could obliterate them if she starts getting any of her powers back!

#14: Awesome. Spontaneous Cum-bustion. O_o "W-what happened, man?!" "I don't KNOW! One second she was sucking me off, the next she was a pile of ash!!" O_O

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Hey, Mr K! As usual you've got all the hard hitting questions ^_^

#3 - Carnivorous fairies do not share memories. They can't. Unless they devour someone and absorb their memories that way. O_O

#10 - Elves are out there. There's just few of them left, thanks to interbreeding.

#12 - That's from future stories.

#13 - You'd have to break her limbs to do anal sex on her without getting punched or kicked. And then fairies quickly heal broken bones... yeah, that can get ya hurt...

#14 - Excellent question. Most excellent. The answer is yeah, that would kill her, because all of his bodily cells are made digestion-proof by exo-symbiosis. BTW no one knows how to determine who has been made digestion-proof. O_O

KavenBach - 17 years ago

#2: The best kind of fairy as far as I'm concerned. But that's just me. >_<.

#3: "Male fairies rarely kill females for any reason, they'd rather have as many lovers as they can handle." Assuming they don't mind sharing their memories with all those females, I assume?

#10: Wait, "elf?" I must've missed something somewhere. Also, I'm starting to hate fairy women more and more. Our women deserve better.

#12: O_O; ...I think I need to read the rest of the Ian Scranton series... ^^;

#13: Interesting reasoning! Makes a lot of sense! And humans who happen to have the ability to cast anti-magic will no one more way to punish her... ehh, that's my nature speaking, apologies. ^.^;

#14: Well, at least human women have *one* tiny advantage... hmm. Question: a man who has been Exo-Symbiotized (or whatever the word would be), will kill a carnivorous fairy if she tries to eat him. If by some chance a carnivorous fairy got some of such a male's sperm down her throat... would that destroy her?! O_o Whoa...

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

All too true...

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Fairies make their own laser rifles. And their own starships - all mainly from biological parts, or from crystal. Siluvaran fairies are the masters of harnessing crystals for building cities, data cubes, etc. If push comes to shove they'll use magic to shape things.

And you don't need the phone number of a hot fairy... what you'd need is money to smuggle yourself off of Earth. :)

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

Everything I might want to know on the Fae?
NO... you left out two valuable details, my good friend:
1.The phone number of a hot one ^_^
2. The physical weapons they use that they didn't claim from dead members of other races/species. What do they create on their own to use??
REgardless, an admirable and admittingly almost daunting piece of work, mate. It almost makes me fear them, it really does. That will make the next story more vivid...

KavenBach - 17 years ago

Despite these entries I still won't be able to keep track of all this. >_<.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Apocalypse- New Begining. Generally used to describe the end of an old era or culture and the birth of a new one.
Armegeddon (which I have no idea how to spell)- Absolute Destruction. Used to describe the End of All Things, End of The World, and other cases of absolute destruction.
... I definitely do not want the dubious honor of warring upon the Dalassi, so I am glad to hear their numbers are low.

4ofSwords - 17 years ago

Yup, I'm all for "ruby red" as a descriptive description. It's the "emerald red" that gets me.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

A Droathas' hair can sometimes take on the appearance of either dull or shiny ruby red. The ruby reds, if exo-symbiotic, actually get shit treatment among their own, in the wild... because their hair is so... RED (the soul aura of carnivores). That's worth noting...

4ofSwords - 17 years ago

While there is such a thing as a red emerald, isn't a little too rare for something to be described as "emerald red"?

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

The Dark Side is fun, isn't it? Force-drain, Force Choke/Grip/Crush, Force Lightning that runs the guantlet from agonizing torture blue to vaporizing lethal red, Rage, and so much more! Join the Sith for more powers than you can dream of- and not fearing Faeries for some time. Well, gn'ght, m'friend. It's been awsome, but I gotta go to work now. Night shift.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Simple: they gang up. Especially against Vader - he has the power of Force Drain, basically sucking the life force out of someone at a distance. He is especially dangerous to fairies.

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

Hmmm. All right, I shall. Wraiths (with cursed blades) and Masqued (all weapons blessed) will probably comprise the *effective* fighting force, and the others the *main* fighting force. Should I warn my troops about the Fae using "mortal" weapons as well as their own inntate powers, or would it be more emotional to let them find out on their own?
Final question (for now), but this one isn't intended to be serious.
1. How do, or would, the Fae fight... THE DARK LORD?
Y'know... Sauron... Vader... MAYBE Voldemort... recently Aizen/ Madara...and of course the Lich Lord Michael Jackson? And others. The ones with so much magical ability, or ability in the Force, or whatever their talents are, that all contenders are cut to ribbons? Do they gang up on the stronger foe? Does one eat the others and take on the Dark Lord mano-a-mano? Or do they have Chosen One/Dark Lord specific tactics to destroy any hyper strong human weirdos?

jacquelope - 17 years ago

A katana against a fairy in my universe had better be blessed, or you'd better score a beheading unnoticed. Yes, fairies astonish the hell out of humans by picking up and using gatling guns. Fairies using gatling guns... everyone laughs at that until the bullets fly. My fairies do not eat magic from a distance. They absorb life force in their stomach to get magic energy. Getting you in her belly is quite easy though.

If you hit a fairy in the spine be sure to follow up with a shot to the head or else you may wind up getting teleported into her belly where you'll die painfully so she can heal even faster.

Fairies have to deal with Ringwraiths/Nazguls as equals. They don't just eat magic from a distance; but would a Ringwraith's magic be absorbed if they got eaten? Good question. Still, a fight with a Nazgul is a fight indeed. However, beware of male fairies, they can cast anti-magic. But then a Nazgul would have no magic and thus little value when eaten. Hmmm.

Fairies can also insta-heal. It requires spending some magic energy though.

BTW drop me a PM if you have more questions!

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

*mulch, sorry. Critical systems turned to MUCLH.

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

All right. I shall eagerly anticipate the instigation and conclusion of their final plans, then, and see if perhaps I have completely and utterly misinterpreted them, or if they would be ideal to borrow from you.

There's much that is unsaid about the Cerulean Dawn. I'd wait until it's all said, because they have a very surprising and mysterious agenda.

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

Muahahhahhah.... MIB hath fallen, and the world lies in ruins. On a side note, I now plan to appropriate these "Cerulean Dawn" warriors as the decendants or result of the Masque tradition. Any objections? It IS a few centuries later, after all. And black to blue is not so large a transition in color.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Wow, thanks for the compliments! It took me a year, actually. As soon as I wrote "The Tuatha De Danaan" (soon to be retitled... http://aryion.com/g3/showitem.php?id=155934), the idea hit me that I should really expand the Siluvara Files universe. Hmmm, since you're on my friends list, you should see my friends-only blogs. :)

French_snack - 17 years ago

Wow indeed. This and your other recent submissions... I'm awed. How long did it take you to conceive all this, work through the details, structure it into an amazingly coherent whole? You've created what has to be the most detailed of any vore-related universe (jkssmtrfkr's is another that springs to mind, but such works are rare indeed), and undoubtedly by far one of the most detailed fictional universes still unpublished. You haven't just come up with a great many creative ideas, you've woven them together into a complex, seemless, credible and appealing whole. And fleshed them out in very well written stories. It's... well, quite stunning, actually. You should be very proud of it.

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

And here I thought in my arrogance that I could create horror. But this is truly chilling.

Fabhar - 17 years ago

Well, on the birght side, I'll probably be dead by the time this stuff happens, XD

Ask a woman how she deals with the male dominated world we live in today, lol. Then you have your answer, or at least a flavor of it. You'd have to ask about a hundred women to even begin to get a handle upon how they feel on the topic...

jacquelope - 16 years ago

I've thought of it. Fairies are in NO way familiar with the idea of one woman having two or more guys in her sexual/romantic group, whatever they call it.

There would be problems, primarily two:
1) Fairy males don't like to share. That's because they haven't ever HAD to. (Anyone can, however, write MMF situations in. Just be sure to provide a little justification...)
2) Some human males may be okay with sharing a woman, but when they come to fairy land, fairy women, facing a shortage of men, will do their absolute DAMNEDEST to divide the men from each other and conquer them as mates.

Bisexual men will present fairies with... an issue. Well worth addressing.

By the way just so you know... it occurred to me recently that the "excess of women" idea doesn't look so paradise-like when played through logically. To JUSTIFY such a scenario you must have a superior female-to-male birth rate, and a woman-heavy population evolves into a gyno-centric world (matriarchy, as we often call it). A harem? Oh, no, not possible in the long term - women will force their way on you and it won't always be what you want. Let's start with your house being decorated mostly to suit women! Pink colors, flowery stuff and fluffy slippers, oh my! You're catering primarily to female emotions and women-centered goals from birth to death and sunrise to sunset. Think of what women deal with in "a man's world" and turn it upside down.

You as a guy get your way when you get sufficiently pissed off.

It's actually making me proud to see my own theme subverted or perhaps even deconstructed. That gives me more room for drama and unpredictable story development!

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Imrhys - 16 years ago

Hmmm...

This makes for some interesting possibilities for humans with open marriages meeting your exo-symbiosis women. But what could happen if a pair of human couples that shared an open relation ran across some Siluvaran females?

Would there be a problem with two human males being in one Meluwen? And just how messy could this get? Would other Meluwen being understanding of one Meluwen getting two males at once? I realize this is one major "what if" question, but curious to if you have thought about this at any point >_>

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Thanks, bro! But for now I'm writing the story of "X", a man sent- however briefly- to Felarya. Heavy elements of vore and gore, if I wrote it right, but... well, I'll show you when it's done. ;)

jacquelope - 16 years ago

It's also possible, in retrospect, to cast a certain type of minor acid splash spell and if that has ZERO effect on a fairy's prey... s/he better think of seeking other prey.

Imrhys - 16 years ago

Okay so yes I'm finally nosing my way around your "files" and look what I stumble upon but a most interesting "footnote".

I'd argue that carnivorous fairies or anyone else that can detect auras IF they had enough skill they would be able to detect the subtle changes to any being "altered" by exo-symbiosis. But mind you in my experience this change would be, like in the case of a human with their pale white auras, the aura would not change color but instead it's brightness would change.

So if you were not highly observant OR did not have a before and after comparison to work off of, this would be near impossible to notice. Just my opinion from a few years of running vampire, the masquerade and all the aura reading auspex makes possible in there for skilled or creative *the most annoying sort at times!!!* players.

KavenBach - 17 years ago

Heh. Thanks for the, I believe, unnecessary kudos.

Of course a truly sex-crazed and adventurous fairy might dare try it with a condom... except it's not the same, and if she happens to break the thing she may (who knows?) be risking a lot more than disease... >_<.

Gentle_Grounds - 17 years ago

Well, a cache 22.

LordVengeance - 17 years ago

Thanks! This is really, really detailed, and I'm flattered to think I helped in any way with that. Thank you, my friend! (exo-symbiosis for the win!)

KavenBach - 17 years ago

Yay for him! ^_^

jacquelope - 17 years ago

If he crawls up to the cervix her womb will know. It'll open up and the change in air pressure will suck him right in. Once the cervix closes again exo-symbiosis begins.

KavenBach - 17 years ago

Yes, but if he goes in, can she still perform exo-symbiosis even if he's tiny compared to her?

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Well I can answer the second question easily - if she's a giantess and a shrunken human enters her, he can go in or out. Her muscles can't pull him in at that size.

Imrhys - 16 years ago

"Only purple or blue soul aura fairies (of which Siluvarans are a subset) can perform this act, initially, although years of intense research by human women (mages) eventually makes this ability available to human women, taking humanity in a radical new direction." <- now that is highly interesting and though my Minx is directly of your world, does give me some interesting "crossover" thoughts (vaguer things then full ideas) because of how Minx can absorb her prey's life force fully into herself and restore them completely, even if the energy ratios would be sizeably different (different mechanism for the process).

But this does give me thoughts for perhaps the first human exo-symbiosis as a short story. If you have not already done one yourself >_>

KavenBach - 17 years ago

(Oh, THAT'S why you submitted this five times. >_<.)

jacquelope - 15 years ago

Many alien animals of the yellow aura type probably were white aura in the beginning. There is no reason that there won't be MANY white-aura alien species that are discovered to be the predecessors of yellow-aura (transgenic) animals.

LordVengeance - 15 years ago

Almost all of Earth's products are white aura, as opposed to the yellow aura-ed beings vaguely related to faeries. Bearing in mind the backstory you told us for the rise of the fairies (and later Siluvarans and Silurheans), I would like to pose this question:

If what we see today amongst the alien cultures is largely the result of meddling, both in science and in magic, what of the origins? If it's yellow now, was it previously, or ever, white?

KavenBach - 17 years ago

*DOOR SLAMS SHUT ON THE IDEA TROTTING IN MY HEAD* Matter of author's choice on the first thing then, eh? >_<.

On the second point, I mean instead of a human going into a giantess fairy, a shrunken male fairy going into a normal-sized human woman. Whereas a human will be absorbed by a fairy's womb and "energize" her before being re-built with a clean slate, perhaps a shrunken male fairy could force the process in reverse inside a human woman. He would de-materialize and be reborn the same way a human would inside a fairy, except the power would spread inward to him instead of outward. Grr, does that make any sense?

If it did... maybe that would be another way to call out latent powers in the human woman... or to turn her into a fairy... or just make her indigestible.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Nah. No cock vore. Human comedians and artists have a good time irritating male fairies with these fantasies, though. Not sure I understand the second idea.

KavenBach - 17 years ago

You know, I know this surely isn't your cup of tea, but have you considered maybe having the rare male Blues be able to perform a kind of "reverse" exo-symbiosis? If he can shrink a human woman down enough to do a cock-vore thing, could he not theoretically perform the same absorb/reconstruction thing as his females do with humans? Just food for thought... I feel sorry for them otherwise. ^_^

Or, more along your liking maybe, why not shrink himself and act as the "victim" (willing probably), somehow restoring a human woman a bit the way a blue female would restore a human inside her womb? Evidently this way the human woman can't be absorbed and rebuilt though...

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Yeah, send me a private message, I'd be interested in hearing more about L.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Ahhhh... I meant to use the scanner to help him locate NON-Fairy life forms. For fairies and other creatures of magic, "L" has a small but effective arsenal of tools and tactics... I wonder, should I record their properties somewhere so you know what to expect? As you can tell from my story he does not have "God Mode" or "Bankai" or other releases of power, but he does have some useful stuff.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Be warned, many fairies in this universe can see your soul aura at a longer distance than your BT scanner can see theirs. Through other objects, no less. Eyepatch scanners would have the LEAST range of all - probably 100 meters. And they won't easily see a fairy through other objects.

Being sneaked upon by a carnivorous fairy can be very bad news; you wouldn't want to include the Rikati fairies in your story because a Rikati can teleport you into his/her stomach before you're in range to see them.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Excellent... excellent. Thank you, my friend. You may have just saved his life in a future story.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

Nano-manufacturing to the rescue. Yup, it's doable!

Imrhys - 16 years ago

Just do as Bitter does, lol, at the bottom of the file *bops rolling eyes*

jacquelope - 16 years ago

I hear that. I wish I knew how to implement one here. It'd be kinda tough to do in the details/description area; this time around it would be a document in and of itself.

Bitter - 16 years ago

A changelog would be handy. It's kinda difficult to tell what's been changed or added.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Right. Thank you, my friend.

jacquelope - 16 years ago

I'd keep the Cerulean Dawn out of anything for right now. Their motives are... complex. I'll PM you when I'm back from Anaheim.

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Bollars AND Nivalavi invading? It's like the old Chinese curse- "May you live in interesting times"

Imrhys - 16 years ago

I will strangle you for ending it with a cliffhanger T.T

French_snack - 17 years ago

Whoops... Looks as though things are going to get even more dangerous. Good chapter.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Oops...!

There were other humans on this planet, they came on the same ship he did. Two were featured here:

LordVengeance - 16 years ago

Your fae are kinky. ^_^ I like them... ergo my poor Masques would loathe them. What's worse to a monster hunter than something that enjoys eating people and is sexually aroused by it? Or an "innocent" that encourages such behavior? But unfortunately they *would* approve of the Nivalavi... brutal, skilled, non-devouring warriors that generally announce their intention and hunt the preds.
Regardless of their opinion, it is an excellent and intruiging story.

jacquelope - 17 years ago

Oh don't worry... you won't be disappointed. I hope. ^_-

French_snack - 17 years ago

Great continuation! The descriptions are very good, as always. I'm curious to see where this is going.

I can understand Ian feeling tired and frustrated, but he should stop and count his lucky stars now and then. ;)

Black-Boo - 17 years ago

Man oh man. I'm normally not into this kinda thing (the sex part) but that was very well written!

Kinda curious about this bloodvine...guess I wait for next month!
