Re: "Emergence" - BattleTech Dark Ages/BattleTech AU Crossover
The Crusader Wolves survived, retained their occupation zone and homeworlds (after about a week of being Jade Falcons and then Jade Wolves) and remain a major and dangerous faction through to them finally taking Terra around 3150 (which I don't think has happened). The Warden Wolves are essentially ...

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
I'm sorry to disappoint but that is actually the end of the story. There may be a sequel, but that'll be a while as it's only at the early stages of planning.

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
[hr] Calibration [hr] Both armies marched westwards along the river, the northerners recalling detachments that had been surrounding us. The Haltans were particularly sulky, perhaps due to the influence of Rhall Gesran, but after one attempt to interfere with one of our foraging parties, the Bull sp...

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
[hr] Descending Fire [hr] The western force had been spotted by a warbird – Arada had detached the flying machines to cover our flanks and rear, since he was fairly sure the Bull’s archery was entirely up to picking off the Dragon-Blooded who flew them if they’d gone near his own army. The best esti...

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
[hr] Resplendent Fire [hr] It took us five days to get to one of the defensive way points – not much more than a heavily built up log fort on an earth embankment - along the road connecting Carnelian Peak to Osak. I spent that time on a cart, laid out on a pallet. I spent the first day asleep and th...

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
[hr] Ascending Fire [hr] Almost two months later, I returned to Carnelian Peak wearing a talonlord’s badge on my coat. The hemp robe had not lasted long, but the Linowan coat had proven itself as well suited to the climate. Udano was bringing up the rear and between us, almost a hundred legion auxil...

Re: Reincarnation: May Come with Teething Problems
[hr] Descending Wood [hr] I carried Icole back to the previous day’s camp on my shoulder. It was far from ideal, given that he was significantly taller than I was, but it was all I could do. He said little, exhausted by the battle, his wound and the loss of Iyuki. At times during the march he fainte...

[hr] Resplendent Wood [hr] We followed the Yanaze, the River of Tears and then the Silver River.

To mediate upon that spot is one of the most profoundly spiritual experiences an Earth-aspected Terrestrial can manage. I do not think I could put it into words, even now.

Resplendent Air I’d adjusted to my new home and lifestyle with relative ease. It wasn’t all that different from that I’d enjoyed as the daughter of Tepet Demarol’s now-former secretary (Ishah had dropped that bit of information while introducing the other day staff to me) except in minor details.
