Writing Promt (maybe a future story)
The world has long known of the super volcano under Yellowstone national park. Today after much anxious anticipation it erupts. But even as the volcano erupts the ground begins to shudder with the thunder of something else, something alive.
Amongst the Stars Ch1 Location: Deep Space 2.3 Kiloparsecs from earth aboard GIU freighter ship Kal’Zekan. Nova huffed as she set up her hammock in a small out of the way corner of the ship’s cargo bay. Stringing up the thin, worn material between two massive structural beams of the ship, she double checked her work before nodding to herself. Sliding her small well-worn pack off of her back she laid it in the hammock knowing no one would dare touch it. Lifting the flap of the pack she quickly rifled through her things making sure she hadn’t lost anything since she left port. Not that there was much to check mind you. A spare change of clothes, two dented and scratched up spare power cells for her wrist mounted computer, a small bottle of hydration pellets and a crushed candy bar from earth were all she had. Closing the flap back she tied the top flap shut. Spinning around she nearly collided with a very startled looking Yander. The small alien let out a startled sound like a bird

Amongst the Stars: Prologue
Space, alien life, the dark unknown. These things we have pondered for centuries as we looked at the stars wondering, are we alone? Well as it turned out we were far from alone in this universe. As it turned out we weren’t even alone in our own galaxy. For humans one of the greatest questions of our race was answered in the year 2034. If you asked people who lived during this time no one could have predicted that before the year was out we would be entangled in a galactic war that had been raging for more than 200 of our years. And the reason why we were dragged into this war was nearly as strange as the creatures that landed and begged for our help. Humans have always had this idea that we would be weak, fragile creatures that would be easily over run by conquerors from beyond the stars. Turns out we had it completely backwards. Humans as it turned out were one of the most feared races to ever be discovered. Whether it was our endurance or our ability to take massive amounts of
“Are we there yet?” Kite groaned as he plodded along next to Sky.
“For the last time, we will be there tomorrow morning.” Ferez growled back. “I don’t know how many ways I can word it to make you understand that.”
Sky smirked ruffling Kites formerly immaculately groomed hair crest. “Chill out tiny. We have been on the road for two weeks, one more day will not hurt.”
Kite puffed up flaring his wings when Sky ruffled his hair. Half skipping and half hopping the dragon moved along on three legs trying to fix his hair back while still walking. “Stop screwing with my hair!” he gr
“So, this is the river?” Sky grumbled as the group came to a stop. “This is nuts.”
Stretched out before them was a massive river nearly a mile wide. The deep water churned and rolled roughly. The path they had been following simply stopped at the edge of the river bank with no obvious way to cross.
“This isn’t good.” Ferez sighed softly. “There must have been a lot of heavy rain lately. Normally there is a barge that we could use to cross but seems it has been pulled. We could wait for the water levels to lower but there is no telling how long that would take. And finding a narrower point woul
“So how screwed are we?” Sky grumbled as he looked around. He, Lumi and Cinder were being escorted by a dozen heavily armed men down a narrow alleyway.
“Somewhere between not at all and totally.” Lumi huffed as she scanned the group.
Cinder let out a small puff of smoke. “Oh, stop you two I am sure this guy is super nice, and you are both over reacting.”
Sky rolled his eyes as he and the others walked in through the side entrance to what looked like a bar. Down a narrow hallway they arrived at a heavy wooden door. One of the men stopped in front of the three of them. His heavily scarred face scowled down
“God damn it Kite!” Sky bellowed as he grabbed the dragon pup by the tail, dragging the dragon away from his pack. “Stop eating all my smoked salmon!”
Kite quickly scarfed down the mouthful of salmon, his long-pointed ears folded back like a puppy being scolded. “Hey, hey let me go! That hurts!”
“Its going to hurt a lot more when I shove my boot up your ass!” Sky growled grabbing his pack. Opening the flap, he growled softly. “Oh, you are so dead. That was my last one!”
Kite yelped and took off at a dead run around the camp as Sky lunged after him. Lumi poked her head out from beh

Sky gave a grunt as he looked up at the dragon. “Do you mind getting off of me? You are quite heavy.”
The dragon snorted softly as it sat down at Sky’s feet. “Sorry, I didn’t scare you, did I?”
Sky slowly raised a brow looking the dragon over. A little larger than a big dog it had a tuft of ash grey fur sitting on top of its head that ran down its neck and spine stopping about a foot from the end of its tail. Its red scales where a deep crimson red that glinted softly in the faded light of the fire. Ivory colored claws kneaded the ground as his slit vivid green eyes scanned the group.

Damien sighed softly as the rear hatch of the helicopter slowly opened. Blinking at the blinding white sand reflecting sunlight into his eyes. Shaking his head, he walked slowly down the ramp with Jasmin riding on his back. Roland walked up next to him patting his shoulder gently. “Welcome home.”
Damien walked down the ramp slowly as he looked around. Taking a deep breath, he gingerly stepped out onto the sand. It had only been two weeks since he had felt the sand between his toes, but it felt like a lifetime. They had spent the entire flight in silence with most everyone sleeping, but sleep had eluded Damien the entire flight.
Ziggy groaned as she half walked half waddled out from her room rubbing her eyes. Looking around bleary eyed she sighed softly. It was well past sunrise and yet she still felt exhausted despite going to bed super early. Wincing she grabbed her swollen stomach with both hands. “Alright alright I’m going.”
Putting a hand in the small of her back she shuffled out into the inn. Whitley was sitting at the bar across from Cory eating happily on a plate of eggs. Looking up she saw Ziggy and hopped down running over. “Morning sleepy head.” She snickered.
Ziggy grunted then hissed. “Your little sibling is saying g
Damien sat in cold silence for several days as he bid his time. The only way he was aware of any time passing at all was the slow steady stream of food that Order members brought him. Damien had scarfed down what he could only loosely call food. He made sure to keep his strength up as much as possible. The seals placed around him kept him from moving more than a few feet but he didn’t care.
Finally, Harold, the man who loosely referred to himself as Damien’s father appeared. “Its time.” He said bluntly. A dozen Order members filtered into the room circling Damien holding up their glowing hands.
Damien smiled coldly.
Two years before the attack on Roland’s Cabin
Three days after the battle and clean up has begun. The area around the presidential mansion is the worst hit part of the city. Due to the high levels of damage done to the area the decision was made to bulldoze as much as possible. Crews sweep the debris for any signs of life but so far no one has been found.
This heavy cleanup continues for two more days before the unthinkable happens. A skyscraper that had fallen during the explosion is lying in ruins when two men find a female kanaima buried in the heart of the building. She is alive though just barely. Many considered it a miracle she
Aurora woke with a jerk. Her claws out she launched forwards grabbing the nearest object. Three sets of strong arms grabbed her yanking Aurora back as she hissed loudly spinning, swiping her claws wildly.
“Aurora easy it’s just us.” Aurora froze hearing the familiar voice of Roland behind her. Blinking her eyes slowly came into focus. Directly in front of her was a terrified looking young wolf with small puncture wounds on his neck.
Turning her head Roland Tony and Dimitri where all holding her. Roland was sporting a brand new set of claw marks on his cheek. “Oh… sorry” she said looking down.

Aurora walked through the lab doors bleary eyed with a cup of coffee in one hand and her laptop in the other. Glancing around the room she was mildly aggravated to see all the lab techs where already there and working. Even though it was 7am they all looked like they had been there a while.
Gerhard came bounding over with a bright smile on his face. “Good morning sleeping beauty. I see you got plenty of rest.”
“Stow it fuzzy or I’ll lick you in your cell.” Aurora hissed back with a death glare. Truth was she had barely slept at all. Her nerves where shot with the impending arrival of the five new kanaima. ̶

Aurora had no idea how long she stood there staring. Her whole body seemed to be frozen in place staring at those blue eyes. Their depth only seemed to be matched with the intensity of them. Unblinking they remained fixed on her until for the briefest moment they shifted away looking past her.
Aurora finally tore her gaze away as the sound of the elevator door hissing shut behind her brought her out of her stupor. Turning she saw Dr. Saint making a bee line for the cage his face twisted into a dark smile. “Ah they got here early. I trust unloading him was easy enough?”
Aurora slowly gained her composure and nodded. “Yes th
Aurora sat down slowly at the table, trying her best not to sit on her tail for the tenth time in one day. Sighing she finally managed to get seated without any real harm to herself this time. It was just now noon but it felt as though this had been a full day already.
After she had stopped crying she spent several minutes talking and calming down both girls. Then William and James had shown up adding to yet another tearful round of hugging and crying. After she managed to free herself from the fuzzy mass of the kids Aurora had decided to look around at the damage upstairs.
She had not realised just how intense the fighting had been until n
