    007: Poultreist

    Their savagery, and enormous talons, make poultreist one of the most dangerous critters in Pandea. If it wasn’t for their miniscule lifespans, these ferocious fowl would likely have wiped every other species out of existence.

    006: Bauja

    Bauja’s ability to locate Haremaas burrows made it popular among hunters for a while, however they quickly found that the critter ate more meat than it brought in and its use declined. Today Bauja are rarely used commercially, but many wealthy families still keep them as companions. Some even go out on occasional Vixune hunt.

    009: Tiphys

    Leena’s shoulders shook as she watched her crewmate’s frantic panic. His head span around the room as he searched for the source of the voice. It was always fun to see someone meet Tiphys for the first time. A.I. had been heavily restricted since the artist riots of the mid twenty first century, and as…

    005: Caligoul

    I was once approached by a parapsychologist. A paranormal investigator that specialised in studying ghosts and spirits. She had heard of an old manor house in the woodland finger that lay derelict and crumbling. Locals claimed that the area around the house was devoid of life, that everything nearby had been devoured by an evil…

  • 004: Furgal

    004: Furgal

    One hundred and twenty pound bundles of fluff and fun, furgal were bred specifically to become man’s best friend. This is one critter you won’t find anywhere in the wild (Unless it’s run away from home and got lost.) Though it isn’t uncommon to see the occasional stray, furgal tend to enjoy the company of…

    008: Welcome to the Otherworld

    A tall skeletal man lay withering between the trunks of a dark twisted forest. Black brambles strangled the thick violet bark of an oak behind him. A pale flicker of light pushed through the mesh of spiny branches that tangled together into a canopy. It danced across the man’s face, revealing a distorted monstrous sight.

    008: Apollo’s Arrow

    “We can’t fly through the middle of a comet storm!” He yelled, irritated that he had to explain that to someone that was supposed to be his superior. “I’ve plotted the closest possible course, far enough out to avoid any of the asteroids, but we should still get a spectacular view, if you like that…

  • 003: Pheliscus

    003: Pheliscus

    Many centuries ago, long before any beast had been tamed by man, a ringless pheliscus wandered through the desert. Not an unusual sight, many a pheliscus would stalk the sands by night, and in that time, none of them had rings, neither on their tail, nor around their necks. This particular feline was different though, and its…

    007: Daughter of Pan

    Gentle music drifted across the wheat stubble. Katie froze. Her face drained. What was she hearing? Her eyes scanned the field around her. Goosebumps reared up all over her body. The panic welling up inside her was fighting with the soft comforting melody that surrounded her.

  • 007: The Mission

    007: The Mission

    The Argo’s bridge was more impressive than its exterior, if that was possible. There were sensors an instruments that not even the top end battle cruisers had. Stasis controls, dark matter sensors, a Hermes drive. That wasn’t something you found on a ship this small. You generally needed a crew the size of a small…
