Greetings M'lords and M'ladies I am Jstone your host
let me spin you
around for a tail of war on an epic scale, this is so in the twin planets of the
one whole planet known as Kyridia. but
first let me tell you a bit of history of this odd world.
for more then 5,000 years ago by human standards a peaceful and loving
king (or lord) of dragons ruled this world for an age or two. it was at the end of the age of
wonder, when all of dragon kind was about ready to celebrate its 500 year birthday of their
kings reign
but low an evil dragon named Sarvosis sought power, he was told by a mystical
half breed dragon woman that he was destined for a power untold that only
he would obtain, but how to do the deed? she told him of a prophecy that a
dragon born of evils skin but with the blood of a noble would come to be and it
was only then should he take the powers that was his to claim. so years he
waited it happened a red dragon was born with actions that of a silver or golden
dragon. to Sarvosis that was his sign to make a claim for power. this power
being the very essence of dragon lord himself. but every one of dragon kind
knows that the dragon king is too powerful to be beaten by brute strength alone.
in short the dragon lord is impossible to beat unless you take that powers from
him. this also was told by the half-breed woman. she told him before he could
lay claim to the power he must separate the dragon from his powers. and with the
help of his lieutenants he found the way. he has to create relics or empty vessels
to endow with powers. he did this and as the red dragon grew he made ready for
the right timing to trade the powers of the dragon lord into the empty relics.
he found the right timing when all of dragon kind was celebrating the 500 year
of the dragon kings reign. he did that which was foretold and took the powers
from the king and sent these powers unto the seven winds. forever to be seen no
more. in Sarvosis's mind if I can't have the powers of the dragon lord no one
can. when the dragon king was gone he took the thrown but not before
causing a civil war among the dragons. but a little thing he didn't know was
that the great dragon lord had powers connected to the very seems of the
planet. without a living being holding these powers the world split into
two pieces and yet to this day the planets are whole and yet missing its core. Kyridia
was no more, but in its passing the sister planets arose. there only like to
each other is a magical gate way that is guarded by a golden dragon named
"master Shou'Gul" the planets are called by there dragon names but the
dragon language is not spoken anymore save for elderly magi in the time of the
middle ages. Middia is where most of our story is told. Middia in the ancient
language Middia means the dark side of Kyridia. and the second part of old Kyridia
is Kyrum. again in the ancient language Kyrum means the light side of
Kyridia.
now to what this story will entail is this. on Middia that is the center point planet of this story is an exotic one. filled with creatures only the imagination can see. like the standard fantasy world on this far off earth like world there are creatures like centaurs and dragons. but not just that there are gryphtaur's, Wilowmuck's, and Orlings. there is the closely guarded plains of the Woltaur's and the shielded 6th continent that only exist for 50 years at a time then vanishes for 500 years. on Middia there is 6 continents where anything can happen. in the center of the plant is the continent or lands of Ji'Kem'Ci. to the north of this land is the plains of the Woltaur's to the main part of this land mass is the great desert where a city was swallowed by the sands and guarded by the giant sand snakes called "Hoovers". to the east is the peaceful lands of Karin. to the west is the charred and barren lands of Rovar, where the 12 towers of focused magical powers lay dormant to be activated by the dark magi counsel of twelve. to the deep south is the lands little traveled to because of the evil spider people and closely guarded towers and fortresses of Zultors. there is a lot to learn of this planet. on it our story follows the prophesied dragon born of evils skin and noble blood he is Sheridan Treylar. his quest is to herald the return of the once great dragon king. to do this he must find "THE MYSTICAL RELICS OF THE DRAGON LORD"
now I would like to call attention to the pictures below. the story I just told you is a novel that I am working on and have been so for the last 5 years. in those years I have asked armature artists from around the world on my favorite site called WWW.ELFWOOD.COM. these arts agreed to show to you the characters and creatures threw there art as visual references to them. below there names are links to the art that is shown here as my giving thanks for they help in making this novel more real to you the interested. when the book is done if I can work it right these pictures will be a part of it so you can enjoy looking at Sheridan and reading what he dose. I will also give a short story about each character or creature to show what these pictures link to the story.
...click on the
pictures to enlarge them...
first to the main hero who keeps forgetting who he is and what his purpose is. he is born not the usual way for a dragon in a way. he was born with the skin of evil but noble blood flows in his veins. by a prophecy he fulfilled a dark deed that he is not proud of. he was the dragon that betrayed the dragon king who while growing up was his personal confidant. after realizing he has done this evil act he spends some hundred years searching out himself and why he lost his mind. then a mystery magi appears and shows him the very thing he must do. this magi shows him what the world would be like under the rule of the evil dragon Sarvosis by sending Sheridan into the future. there he finds friends and enemies to fight but on one of his missions this magi sends him and his new band of friends back to Sheridan's original place in the time frame. once there Sheridan realizes the very quest he is to take us all on.
(from the same artist) Kai-Ah or Kaya: in the Skul'Kreyian language the word Kai-Ah means mischief. when one of the main characters finds this odd fellow his form is an old owl. Kaya is a member of the Orlings, an Orling is put simply a shaft shifter. they live their lives guarding forests or going on adventures and try to make the hero's laugh at anything using there shape shifting ability. Kaya is no exception. for when he meets up with the main character named Taula Se'Com she gives him the Skul'kreyian name for mischief... when he is not shape shifting this is his base form a small innocent looking boy with a tail. on his arms and down his back are green freckles. these freckles are color coded to the family they came from. since Kaya's color is green he comes from the homeland of Emi La .
this is another oddly born dragon. the one with one wing. he is Ganther'Tar he grows up with Sheridan and becomes best friend with him tile the don of the dragon civil war. that war is the fight on who has the right and the might to claim the thrown of the once great and wise dragon king. before the war breaks out Sheridan and him have an argument over a woman. Sheridan was madly in love when one day he found Ganther with her in his arms. from then on Sheridan went into the war with a vengeance.
this is the woman of Sheridan's childhood then when he returned to her on instinct alone she becomes his old flame for a while. then as a way to help him remember who he was and what his quest is she tried to rekindle the old love that she's held for him ever since he left her for the civil war.
next we have the last of an ancient race the humans call Machi. they are the Machian warriors an elf race of sorts with wings only on the females of the race. the humans have sung tails of how they live out their life. they are born able to walk and talk like you or me and are taught everything the tribe knows for the first 5 years. the next year is spent in training to fight the ritual hunt. where the young warriors must seek out a natural predator os equal ability as the fighter. then into mortal coils of combat they must go and if the they live they are now a part of the living tribe. but it is a time of sorrow for the mothers for the youths must be sent out to live the next 14 years in training, they are to go out into the world and with each encounter of a fighter not the same and they, the youths must learn from them. tile they learn from every being on Middia there by learning every fighting technique know to the world. now as for this character her name is Taula Se'Com. she will find out that she is the last of her race. they Machi were killed by the most blackest of dragons the shadow. but the question is always there is she alone?
now to the evil that was foretold. it was sung to the dragon lord that the evil will come from the stars in the heavens. and this is true for the slimy character he comes from a lizard like planet call Fikeus. oddly enough his arrival is not for eons later from the telling of the tail. his time zone is in the long future. somewhere in the great cosmos. he is called the butcher by all who live out in space and in this future mainly because his hobby is torturing victims of the evil empire that he works for. in his maniacal contraptions he also toys with flesh in a long forgotten alchemy from his own home world. he creates minions form the tortured victims. it is all for his gleefully actions that he has made abominations that have the look of an undead in a way. this creature is injected with a serum of his one making and the transformation is done. this serum is gray is color and the sound of the thing in transformations are blood curdling and just wicked to behold.
: after finding a spell to take the essence of a subject via magical spell Vargus Fargo takes the powers of a necromancer and his boss from the future only in the middle ages times. this same boss is Sarvosis the evil shadow dragon from long ago. dragons to live long ya know. Fargo decided that it is time to make his claim to steal his bosses place in the future time by taking his bosses essence. after he dose this the two that is now one because a totally different creature not an alien not a dragon but something in the middle an evil that was forted to Sarvosis long ago has come and its name is not Sarvosis not Vargus Fargo but Savarion Tassadro!
when Tassadro is trapped by the dark magi of the council of twelve he finds an ally of sorts. you see before he became Tassadro he heard a roar that could be heard threw space. it was the sound of the dragon lord coming back to life. but Tassadro new that Sheridan could not have found all the dragon lords pieces yet so he too beings to look for the dragon relics. he wants the powers himself, and he knows how to get them. so he goes to the Dark magi council to find a way into the 6th continent. the lands of the mysts. the reason he goes to them is they are the ones who lock that land with magic myst in the first place. the council locked a race of evolved dragons called Daragon's in those lands. Tassadro double crossed the concil but killing off one two of its members as punishment Tassadro is locked in the mysts. but Tassadro knew that the land of mysts was due to return in the next few days so he wasn't worried. there in the land of mysts he found one of the dragon relics. the 3rd dragon orb. he found that this Orb was the dark side of the dragon lord. this evil thing has grown out of its relic like natural and become active of its own accord. it created the myst monsters that live inside the mysts. and being there leader this evil thing grew into a beholder like thing with multiple arms and tentacles. when it found Tassadro looking for relics at first it was going to attack him. but found that Tassadro and it has like minds to it demanded to become one with Tassadro. when that happened Tassadro became not just an evil dragon but something more powerful. in the dragons culture there is a myth that grew round the same time the myth that the dragon lord would become no more. this legend was called the death of Kyridia. it was said that an evil will come form an age not forth come for many ages from now but this thing will take the dragon lords killer and become one with it. then it will grow and if it is not stopped in time this evil will consume the world. now this evil that was foretold not a single dragon believed it but when Tassadro begins making his dragon like gulls the stories come true and Tassadro the evil comes to take life.
on his hands are rings made from snakes from other worlds and in their teeth are twin black onyx stone
this is the device he uses the make the fiendish creatures he named "Gull warrior"
this is the standard uniform of the Kul'Kurian rebellion: the class8: #0350 battle suit: this battle armor has a build in plasma cannon on one arm and force shielding over 50% of the torso. in the helmet is voice activated command system and infer red and night vision settings. the visor shows a laser targeting system at all times. the armor is designed for any situation. it has a connection for jet pac or anti-gravity pacs.
this it king Pincer Fibar then Celian: the Celian are like the universal omish race is a way. they refuse to take up arms and fight for any causes like the rebellion's cause for freedom from the imperial like group called the Mutari empire. though they refuse to take up arms and fight they do have other qualities. like pincer here is a rebel spy that keeps tabs on the goings on with the Admiral Mark Bremen. Bremen is the second in command of the Mutari space fleet and a master tactician. Fibar is in constant contact with Bremen acting as a double agent working for both sides has made him a very powerful man on his world and like all Celian's they do make weapons to sell on the black market.
the gull have two different casts this one is a peon, a worker class they are perfect for mining ore out on a planet called Mutaria Fargo's own personal Mining world. the Gulls have the strength of a giant and the non-stop-able-ness of a zombie. you can even cut its head off but it will not help for it will just put it back on when it finds it. the only way to stop a gull is to reduce it to its base components a pile of goo. in the future such weapons like a plasma cannon will do the job just right. the Gull have in their genetic code to be totally subservient to Fargo. they are willing martyrs who will act his every whim. if Fargo is angry they get angry and so on.
this is sort of a secondary character his name is Obard a member of a cyborg like race. they are called Alcarian. they have formed a symbiotic relation with a micro robotic race called Mesher. the Mesher when allow a host will let the host have unusual abilities like the ability to connect to any electronic system and gain knowledge at incredible speed. they transfer memories and any other data in an instant. and they can reshape their flesh to make just about anything from weapons to tools to do maintenance on your toaster. some have added biomechanical attachments to help them get around. like for example: the character names Atcro Zedar have added anti-gravity wings to allow him flight it makes him look like the mythical beasts called gargoyle but he likes it. as for Obard here his legs have been graphed to him adding high powered shock absorbers so he can jump from a very high height and live to tell the tail. he also has a micro fusion jet pack added to his back and with the Mesher it is now a part of his back like a retractable claw.
Tubal Javan: humanoid he is a muscular fighter pilot/mechanic: his left arm is replaced with a synthetic mechanical one, the same prosthetics that the alien Alcarian race uses. he got this arm because he lost it when Fargo had him in the torture room. The arm has a twin barreled plasma weapon with a titanium recharger for the secondary firing mode of regular bullets. it can be folded under a panel in his upper fore arm. The arm is much like the x-men colossus in the metallic armor from so not much change from normal arm in shape. He wears a plastic arm cover but constantly has to take it off because it rips. His skin is black as night and wears a head ban that has his ex co-pilot’s Machian emblem on it. His eyes are cat like and so can see in the night. He can roar like a lion and growl like one too but never dose. (If you can give just a hint of feline characteristics? At least the cat eyes if nothing else) his favorite weapon is the double-barreled shotgun or his built in plasma gun. (The plasma gun in the primary feature on his arm gun) he usually wears a standard military pilot jumpsuit but in the Middle Ages he wears a normal tunic with an armored chest plate, with a dragon on it. (It’s the dragon relic from a magical book trap he found and solved. The treasure was the magical armor that allows him to fly if he ever needs it and it transforms him into a giant mechanical version of him. All he has to do is find out about it. (By the way that last bit I just came up with and eventually put that in the book.) he has a girlfriend that came to life as an extra bonus for solving the book trap. her name is Felicia linebacker. a foxy looked woman with a firy attitude. when loving or fighting she will not be denied.
this fellow is an alien to Sheridan's world but from the first meeting he has learned to like him as a friend. Atcro Zedar is an Alcarian a bionic-cyborg race, they can reorganize there body to from things like weapons to wings that aid it flying to strong legs for jumping. they has a symbiotic relationship with a micro organism called Meshers. these micro organisms help reshape the physical shape or the hosts shape to bend to that hosts will. Atcro is a 30 year old Alcarian and knows the limits of his body but like all Alcarian's he has upgraded his back armor plating to add biomechanical wings that retract like a cats claw. when his wings are "put away" there are 2 long bumps on his back. and since an Alcarian all his mechanical augmentations are biomechanical. meaning they look like metal and steel but have skin and flesh as its sheath. at a glance he looks like a normal gargoyle with armor on. his role to play is first off a teacher of all that is the future to Sheridan. his personal time saver for teaching is a physical link up from his mind to others with a pair of wires that comes out from his first two fingers. so Sheridan learns a lot in a short while. eventually they get separated and he has to fend for himself but when he finds out that Sheridan is a dragon, he goes nuts. after a moment of freaking out he finds out how to help the foretold dragon. good luck Atcro.
this fellow is a rare one he is only seen a few times and only when called for. there is another character that saved his life once and in a dept to pay he comes when the other calls. the other is a shape shifting creature called "Orling" these creatures live to make fun of life if they are not living in a deep forested area they go on adventures with hero's and they use their shape shifting ability to make the heroes laugh at every turn they can. the one that saved his life is called Kai-ah or kaya for short. his name is Tri-Con-Ue or Trey for short. he likes to run over things.
this is a secondary character but in one part saves Sheridan's life. he is Fingers Mc'Maelstrom. usually uses the form of a small thief he is known for having that fasted fingers in the east. when is dragon from this long fingered friend helps out with his friend Tomas WingCutter.
Kimberly ' Loser Lephte' Koskamp (AKA NEO)
this is Chonak he is a gryphtaur. a gryphtaur is a four armed two legged griffon/centaur. a gryphtaur's favorite phrase is "dumb two arms, always doing it the hard way" Chonak is no different then that phrase and yet he is the elder of a group of gargoyle teenagers. after bumping into Atcro who saved Chonak's life he decided that the teens should have a role model. Atcro. so he begins to follow Atcro around tile but its dumbfounded by the technology that Atcro commands and asks him to know how to wield that same technology so Atcro uses his mind to mind information wires on him. Chonak helps Atcro get one of the relics from a red dragon guarding it in the near by forest.
this is another creature of Middia. but this creature lives in its oceans to the far west between the lands of Rovar and Ji'Kem'Ci. they have a tradition that a fight between the leaders of this race called the Olfin and the nomadic race called the Olmen. Tubal gets taken down there to fight this tradition to save the Olfin city from the vicious Olmen when they loose to this air breather. the winner of the traditional fight gets to keep or gain the ownership of the pearled crown of the 5 dragon beads.
like most sailor who've sailed back and forth on the oceans tell tails of mermaids on the waters. this is an Orcamaid. they usual are deep sea goers but since they are a curious sort they come to the surface to watch the sailing ships go by there territories. these mermaids are very quite and like is deep chasms on the crystal sea.
this is one of the many creatures that live on Middia it is called a Woltaur. these are almost civilized and almost human in nature. they are a tribal like of system to their lives. they speak with clicks growls and poundings of their hooves. there are two types of Woltaur's the pains and forest clans. these Woltaur clans fight over the ownership of one of the dragon relics.
the Tomperbun's these are skittish little plant animal. they are brought to life by another race called the Nocra. the Nocra are a humanoid like being that creates all plant life on Middia they are the keeps of all the is green. the Tomperbun's were made to be look outs for the other plant races like the mushroom lizards and moss eaters. the Nocra usually keep to themselves in their forest but all were killed off in the first dragon raid of Middia. the tomperbun's fled to the places where the dragons were not. and over the time that they are gone that thousand years they evolved into what you see here. their wings give they movement and the front tentacles give they griping to rudimentary tools. but they had a three tones shriek that can be ear splitting. this thrum or shriek is a defensive warning. it is a sound to deafen the attack long enough for them to get away or hide safely. they magic is in healing plant life and enhancing growth by 10 times the normal speed. this growth speeding magical power is also one of its defensive tools for getting away.
???
( I used to have there site and name but I forgot to write them down :-( oh well if they see it the credit is theirs not mine ok?)
this is called a Spidrill they are a peaceful race of demi-humans. they hunt and live off of the animal life on on of the five continents of Middia. they have a monarchy society and until the hero's fight their king they are on the side of evil. they live in giant cavern systems and lead their prey into a myriad of webbing systems.
???
this is a creation of the mind, in fact that is exactly what they are, they are magical creatures that are spawned from the powers of a green dragon. they are called stingers. a magical parasite that eats away on the mind.
Bryan C Stancliff
this is Adonala a master artist with plant life: she is a member of the plant people called Nocra (no-crah) Adonala is the lat over her kind. where the great Ji'Kem'Ci Desert is a giant forest once lived you see the Nocra are nature's keepers they help trees live and give the land they walk on a part of themselves as with their magical powers to shape the plant life to what they see fit. she has all that is left of that once great Nocra city. the forest was the center place for all Nocra to be born. but 1,000years from the beginning of the story the dragons made a mad dash to claim all of Middia but all the magical powers of the world made an alliance for a short while and sent the dragons back to there home threw the portal and put a magical barrier in the gate that would last for a thousand years to keep them from returning anytime soon. that forest died off in the dragons vein attempt at revenge by burning it to the ground and killing off the race. but one Nocra lives stile and that is Adonala. she gives the seed that will replant that city before she died of natural age.
this is one of the 12 magical focal points on the charred barren wasteland called Rovar. this is called Tanises heart. it is a dead willow tree that's spawns undead and when it is activated undead will raise to guard this towering tree. the branches when not active will lay flat on the ground but when it is active the branches will climb the trees base and then form a heart shape and anything with in a 100 miles that was dead will live again with a real heart beating it there chests.
this is the dragon armor that Tubal won form the magical book trap. though it looks regal and noble but it has the ability to turn into a giant from of the user, mechanically that is.
the shield of kings: a dragon relic not yet developed but working on its concept
Brianna Marshall:
this is 1 of 3 dragon orbs of power. when put on the dragon staff they make a complete dragon relic. but it will never be, because Tassadro stole one of the orbs while in the 6th continent area. the land of mysts. it is there the he absorb the orb of shadows. he became not just a shadow dragons mixed with necromancer but evil itself.
this is one of two short sword like daggers called the Talanthis blades. taken from the underground orcen city Alexander Talanthis on a training run in disguise walks into the city and takes them. they are as a pair one of the dragon relics called the dragons fangs.
AKA ME!!!( I did this stuff on my computer mostly cut and paste)
in this chapter our hero finds himself transported from one time zone, one world, to the next. in this future world he gains new allies and unwittingly beings the evil Vargus Fargo back with him in the chapter called "the unscheduled meeting"
in this small chapter we are still with Sheridan in the future but now were are vaulted into the world of the mercenaries or merc's it is here that we meet a mysterious man names SS942 a cyborg with perfect aim and killer attitude. he has to fulfill an agreement with a man from his past and he finds out how to time travel to do this agreement.
in the chapter Sheridan falls in with a bad crowd sort of. Taula
saves his bacon when the hero's are caught by the Skul'Kreyian warriors. these tribesmen
hunt the ritual beast the Skul'krey. Sheridan and friends gains another ally.
Shane Crider: (best friend)
this is just one of many magical relics of the dragon lord. the
dragon morning star drawn by a friend of mine. he helped me get a start by
providing vital pieces of the puzzle to create the dragon relic idea, the evil Sarvosis,
the dragon lords name and even the legend that the myth of the dragon lord is
based on. he is Shane Crider. just one of the many artist who've I've asked to
use their material for the novel. he was a personal best friend in Oregon but circumstances
sent him to Virginia and fro what I here tell he is settling into a good life.
miss ya buddy. drop me a line sometime.
well that's just a sample of the novel what do you think? drop me a line if your interested in the novel and tell me would you buy it? if and when I get the thing published. but before you pass judgment on it be known that this book has 5 different sub-plots bouncing and mixing with the main plot line. tons of characters to live and die. changes in characters can be surprising or not. one may never know unless you read it. also look for future sites of mine dedicated to some of my favorite TV shows or movies. bee seeing ya.
