Strixes BACKDOOR PILOT: PART ONE
(I have two or three backdoor pilots for you. I'm considering rebooting this idea and I want to see if any of my readers would be interested)Chapter I: The Goddess AthenaI know you're not going to believe me, but this is the truth. It sounds crazy and insane, but every word I tell you is nothing but the truth. It's going to sound fantastic, insane, unbelievable, and everything else you can say about it.But it's the truth and there's plenty of evidence if you know where to look. I know what you're going to say; "Evidence? Of reincarnation? That's impossible." Not at all. There is plenty of proof throughout history. Take Dorthy Eady, for instance. A British woman who claimed she lived in Ancient Egypt as a priestess in the Cult of Isis. She has given a convincing account of her life before.Then there's the account of the Oklahoma boy, Ryan, who lived in the golden age of cinema as Marty Martyn. James Leininger was a Louisiana boy who claimed to be a World War II fighter pilot shot d
Strixes Backdoor Pilot Part Two
Chapter VII: TutorialThe Primal Vale servers for the Closed Beta would come online all over the world at 12 pm, Pacific Standard Time. Here in Paris, that would be 9 pm. It was a good thing I was home alone because I didn't want to think about what my mother would say if she found out I was planning to pull an all-nighter for a video game. She would throw a fit.If only she knew. Last night, I slept whenever I was tired and played games for twelve-hours. My sleeping habits had been destroyed. At least this time I had a good excuse. The whole thing is about fighting for the world and making sure Set doesn't reduce it to the stone age.In a few minutes, it would be 9 and I would be able to log in for the first time. The waiting was getting me too, so to kill time I logged into my Twitter. I found Stardust Studios' Twitter page. I wasn't surprised to see that Stardust Technologies had bought three failing toy companies and fused them into Stardust Toys.Another Stardust brand? The compa
Strixes BACKDOOR PILOT PART THREE
Chapter XV: First DeathAfter my friends decided it would be a good idea to try the BURNT breed, we were off. I did take some pleasure in watching them chew it, only for Euphie to spit it out. At least Amos and Kanade swallowed it."You better hurry and finish that bread before it loses all of its durability.""What happens then?""The same thing that happens to anything in the game that loses its durability; it shatters."As if to prove my point, the bread she was holding shattered. She had kept hers out the longest, so it was the first to go. Watching Kanade and Amos squirm to finish their loaves before they shattered was very funny.I guided them out of the city and deeper into the Infernal Forest than we had ventured before. There were still Boars, but Wolves and Frenzied Bucks also started appearing.The first one to kill a wolf was me and I got one Wolf Pelt. I could sell it to an NPC, but the markets around the city would be flooded with pelts soon enough, so I decided to keep
Strixes BACKDOOR PILOT: FINALE
Chapter XXIII: First Day of SchoolI didn't know how I felt about being on call with Athena whenever she wanted, but there was no use worrying about the inevitable. I had no power to stop an immortal goddess, so I put it to the back of my mind.This body of mine wasn't used to staying up all night. I would need to start conditioning it... Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after. When I get home, I think I might just sleep.Unless I had homework. Gods, I hope I didn't have homework. Did French schools hand out homework on the first day? Please no.The woman who walked in was pretty cute. She looked like she was in her mid-twenties. "Welcome class, I am Professor Dubois. It's a pleasure to meet you, class."Professor? This was starting to feel a bit Hogwartsy."I will be your Professeure Principale for the remainder of the school year. I look forwards to getting to know all of you."As far as I could tell, Professeure Principale was the French equivalent of a homeroom teacher. In my last go ar
Strixes Selena Side Story Alpha: Finale
Selena Side Story Alapa FinaleThere were two scent trails; one heading to the docks and one back down the side to the city. It wouldn't be long before the pubs caught the scent of them so he had to make a choice; the docks or the city.If the strix were foreign, then he'd put his credits on the dock. Even if they were in Neptune, the pack was in the city. If the kids needed help, the others could come. So he would go to the docks alone. If they followed, then he could help them in the worst case senario.
Strixes Strix Agent
"We've received word for the agents at the docks," the human told her.She didn't look up from her work, focused as she was on the research. One did not receive an order from Alice and ignore it. "What happened?""They were attacked by a lycan.""From the Neptune pack?""There are no unaffiliated mutts in Neptune," he replied."Is the mutt targeting us?""Yes. And he's not alone. According to our agents, another team is coming our way.""Is that so? When will they arrive?""That remains unclear.""Then we must get ready to welcome them. I won't be accused of being a bad host."
Strixes Bianca Side Story 2
Bianca Side Story Part 2Ro sniffed the air. Out of all of them, Ro was the best tracker, as much as it gulled her to admit it, not to do so would be a waste of talent.The girl looked back at her and smirked. "Well, boss, I found two trails."Bianca nodded. "Where do they lead?"Ro wrapped a lock of hair around her finger. "One leads back into the city. The other goes to the docks. But that's not the most interesting part."Aaron shook his head and Cameron laughed. "Well, don't keep us in suspense.""That's not the only train I've picked up.""What does that mean?""Dale, or one of the others betas, is ahead of us. They've begun to track the strix to the docks.""Uh-huh. Isn't anything more important than your make-up?"Ro glared at her. "What does that mean?""You need to memorize our scents.""I have everyone in the pack memorized. I just can't remember their names is all."Bianca sighed. Of course not. "Then we'll follow the scent back to the city."Cameron looked at her. "Why the
Strixes Preview
Since I won't be home until tomorrow, enjoy this previewUntil we left the forest and the encampment, Euphy was quiet. Maybe she was in shock. Maybe the bandits did something to her, but she was quiet. She only stared at me the whole time. Once we got her in the wagon and on the road, that started to change.The further and further away we got, the more alive she became. It turned out that Euphy wasn't a quiet and withdrawn girl; she was a tsundere. A real-life tsundere. I thought tsundere were confined to the pages of mana or anime. I never expected to come across a real tsundere.My first clue was when she hit me. I made a joke about her red hair looking like ketchup (it didn't) and she socked me good. It was a stupid joke, but it didn't deserve a punch. My father laughed it off and that prompted Euphy to laugh.She seemed excited about everything. Apparently, Euphy had been a pampered noble girl, because she had never left her father's dukedom before. She hadn't left the estate she
