“O sweetest stel, how cruel is Love? A con... A ruse... In the goliath garden of the God, wretched Love embodies only the finest of plums... Yet, each one, cored with an arsenic pit.” Twin-Ore I, A True Northen Jewel
“End it now, me boy! So as t’never again leave this forest—to never escape this night!—and thine eyes t’spy His great star born nevermore! NEVERMORE!!” Lord Olyvar’s booming voice and spectral laughter corrupted into a deafening white noise as the revenant’s vital facial features rapidly aged and deteriorated before his son. Aghast, Jeryth’s gaze was gripped until all that remained of his poor father’s visage was a chilling white skull, a shrill cackle still escaping its dusty, cobwebbed mouth.

“The boy was a hero, my lords!”
“But that Mysidia boy saved hundreds of lives on board that airship. Real living Aurionite flesh and blood. Not just prophetic nonsense or some purely parabolic figures in the damned Standard Text, but real lives! The Plutonian lad acted with nothing aft of valor while all the seasoned airmen only stared, frozen in fear, gaping at the Fatherland surface rising up to meet their doomed aircraft."“I know it’s hardly worth mentioning,” The Queen said with bewildered sarcasm, THE ROYAL THREAD I, A Hero’s Purse

A blue chemtrail tailing their spurring orb of energy could be seen running north to south all through the lands of Aurion, like a cobalt comet painted across the sky. The trail would just begin to fade before being painted over with another brushstroke after brushstroke, as Lojin and Ghendra circled the globe countless times, without end.Twin-Ore IV, Ghenny’s First Flight
"RYDER ORB" IS AN ORIGINAL STORY THAT WINDS AND WEAVES THROUGH THE SPRAWLING HISTORY, DRAMATIC CURRENT AFFAIRS, AND PRECARIOUS FUTURE ON THE RINGED PLANET OF AURION AND ITS TWO ORBITING MOONS. FOLLOWING VARIOUS PROTAGONISTS, IT IS THE STORY OF A PROPHESIED AND POWERFUL CRYSTALLINE ORB DISCOVERED AFTER A DEVASTATING METEOR STORM, AND HOW THE ENERGY EXTRACTED FROM THAT ELDRITCH METEORITE CHANGED THE FACE OF AURION FOREVER. IT IS A CANYON-DEEP TALE OF COSMIC DREAMS AND ASTRAL GLORY... OF RAMPANT SUBMISSION TO DARK BELIEFS AND ANCIENT GODS, WHILE TECHNOLOGICAL EXPANSION AND REASON CAUSE SUCH ARCHAIC TRUTHS TO FINALLY BEGIN TO CRUMBLE... OF GRISLY ACTS OF WAR AND GENERATIONS OF INHERITED DISDAIN, THEREBY... "RYDER ORB" IS A LEGEND SAMPLING BOTH THE SWEETEST NOTES OF TRUELOVE AND THE BITTEREST, MOST CRIPPLING DEPTHS OF HATRED... WITH LAPSES OF BOTH AUSTERE JUSTICE AND ARRANT CHAOS... THERE ARE ACTS OF UNDUE MERCY DISPLAYED AND OATHS OF BLOODY VENGEANCE SWORN... IT IS A STORY OF OVERZEALOUS RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION AND THE BRUTAL REBELLION IT GAVE RISE TO... OF RESPLENDENT CITIES RAISED FROM NOTHING AND RAZED TO NOTHING, ONCE MORE... IT'S A TWISTING NARRATIVE THAT DARES TO EXPLORE THE WHOLLY GOOD AND THE ABSOLUTE EVIL WITHIN US ALL, AND THE SURPRISINGLY MALLEABLE NATURE OF BOTH OF THOSE EXTREMES WHEN BRUSHING UP AGAINST DESTINY...
