Heroes of Steel - And Then There Were Four

Facing the darkness and gasping for air, the foul stench of Orcin filth filling his lungs..the Outlander stood grasping his blade. Captain Lukai's blade..a symbol of forgiveness..redemption. Vraes wielded that blade with the precision and power of a mountain lion. Back and forth slowly he moved it, as if inviting the darkness to attack. The din of battle below had all but died as they moved higher into the keep, revenge was now on Vraes's mind. Sweat trickling down his brow, smeared away quickly with a filthy forearm greased from many battles.

Called back to by the click of Selen's dagger hilts he became aware..the shadows burst forth toward Vraes carrying that overpowering smell of filth. The Outlander sprang forward instinctively rumbling over the dead swiftly to meet his newest foes. Selen shadowed behind him almost seeming more to glide than to run, eyes darting hither and fro, blades following swiftly behind. An Orcin elite trying to flank Kjartan..fell dead before a grimly smiling Selen. Crackling flames burst forth from the cloaked wizard, brows peering forward..leaving a trail of acrid smoke past Selen, two of the Baron's archers collapsed with a crunch.

All draws quiet for a moment. Blue radiance burst forth lighting the dark room once more. Vraes grimaces, "I don't know that I'll ever get used to those blue fingers weaving and binding my flesh together again. The gods verily move among us, Kyera."

A brief excerpt in the tales of four unlikely heroes...

Star Traders Technical Essays

I was heavily influenced by Gi Joe, Transformers and other toys that gave a brief description of the character or toy. Especially the BattleTech Technical ReadOuts. I've been putting together a lot of these extras that I plan on releasing in my webcomic as they become relevant, but I'm sticking them here as I create them.
