Chapter 4 is out!

Title: The Tides of Space and Time

Chapter 4: Into the depths

Pairing : Sam Coe / Player Character (OC)

Rating: Explicit (nothing to report right now, just in later chapters! Just action and adventure for now.)

Here's a snippet:

Sarah had taken the Frontier to Bessel III, where the Crimson Fleet took Barrett to exchange him for a considerable sum as a ransom, so the journey to Piazzi I had to be made on Sam’s ship, with Cora on board, much to Alice’s chagrin.

As their spacecraft descended towards the planet's surface, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sight before them. The barren landscape was dominated by jagged rocks and boulders, with a few sparse patches of tough-looking vegetation struggling to survive in the harsh environment. The planet's hills and mountains loomed in the distance. It was clear that this was not a hospitable place, but the coordinates Vladimir had sent pointed them here for a reason.

The scanners of the ship indicated that the world was unable to sustain indigenous lifeforms, but still, they stood on guard and decided Cora should stay on the ship just in case some unexpected creature or lifeform appeared. They could not anticipate that the artifact was not on some facility of some kind either, where they might have company. Cora was left with the customary supplies at hand, like food and water, and a large array of games and books to entertain herself while her father and Alice went to find the artifact, and of course, some safety measures, like comms, were available. This didn’t convince Alice, as always, but, on a barren planet like Piazzi I, the chances of things going awry were minimal. They suited up and prepared for their journey.

As they left the ship, Alice pulled the hand scanner and started skimming the horizon in search of anomalies in its signal, and after some minutes, it pointed east of the landing site, where they immediately started heading. The ship gradually fell behind as they progressed on their way to find the artifact. The signal on the scanner was faint at first but it grew stronger as they advanced toward the mountains.

“Do you think we’ll find company in the mountains, any critter or scavenger?” Alice wondered.

“Just a way to find out, and that’s following the scanner’s signal. Anyway, we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for any signs of activity, but I doubt there’s any life in here.” Sam said.

As they walked, their boots made a crunching sound against the rocky ground, carefully avoiding the large boulders scattered around. The scanner beeped more frequently as they approached small hills that led up to the mountains in the distance.

The path slowly inclined, dislodging pebbles as they ascended. The ascension was hard, despite having brought the necessary equipment for climbing, such as ropes and hooks. The detachment of some rocks made it difficult to climb to the top of the mountain, where they found a cave. There, the scanner beeped louder. The artifact was there. Before entering the cave, Sam and Alice contemplated in awe the landscape that expanded to the horizon. They could see his ship like a small discordant element in the stark scenery composed mainly of rocks and some patches of vegetation. 

The cave was dark, so much so that even the light from their helmets vanished into the void. The tunnel before them was an awe-inspiring sight. Its grandeur was matched only by the vastness of the pit that lay at its end. As they made their way down the rugged walls, they were mindful of the ancient rocks that appeared as though they could crumble at the slightest touch. Their descent was slow and steady, each step taken with care, their senses heightened by the danger that lurked in the darkness. As they climbed their way down, pebbles fell from the walls banging against their helmets, adding to the anxiety of the descent.

“Hey Sam, everything okay down there? It’s raining rocks over here!” Alice asked. She was slightly higher in the rope than Sam, who had gone ahead of her.

“Yeah, we’ve got to get to the bottom of the tunnel and fast” Sam said.

The end of the pit was nowhere to be seen, and the walls seemed they would crumble at any moment upon them. Fortunately for the two explorers, a dim light could be seen at their feet, and with it, the bottom of the tunnel.

“Alice! We’ve arrived!” Sam exclaimed. “C’mon, let me help you. There! We did it! Not bad, eh? I think next time we should bring Cora. Nothing wrong with a bit of spelunking and artifact hunting.”

“Yeah, I don’t know, those walls didn’t seem very stable. Now, the scanner points toward – “Alice added. She was interrupted by a thunderous noise from the surface of the pit, a clamor that echoed through the tunnel. The ancient rocks that formed the pit had been dislodged by the tension and the weight of the two explorers and fell, and they had barely time to escape to the grand tunnel that opened before them.

“What the hell was that?! Are you okay?!” Alice yelled, her suit covered in dust.

“Barely! And you? I’m afraid we ain’t returning through the same place we entered, that’s for sure!” Sam said trying to compose himself.

“You mean we’re trapped?!” Alice was beginning to panic.

“As trapped as we can get, yes,” Sam said.

Writing in my head; Beautiful flowing sentences full of powerful phrases and witty dialogue.

Writing on my page: They did a thing and said some stuff. There was snark.

Sam Coe

What was planned as a quick sketch like other portraits I've done turned into a full blown thing thanks to my need to make the Akilan Cowboy look perfect.

Y'all I went and found 'how to draw beards better' tutorials for this man...the things I do for these ones and zeros.

My theme:

From chapter 13:

Emrys moaned and reeled on his knees as if she had dealt him a mortal blow, “Please,” he sobbed, reaching out for her once more, “if you cannot forgive me, help me end this nightmare!”

The lesson: It’s a good old-fashioned ‘true love conquers all’ story.

What I am trying to say is a plot hole isn’t a plot hole if you’re a little *nuts/brave/cursed

*delete as appropriate

THEMES . ☆ .

writers (whether you’re writing fanfiction or an original work), what is the theme of your work?

what is the lesson? or what are you trying to say?

what are you making a statement about? or are you asking a question?

Those beautiful Witcher pins I preordered. They’re lovely, I just wish Insert Coin would use proper backs, ideally locking backs, instead of those rubber stoppers.

I bought the mass effect collection from the same seller a while back and then lost Legion at a local comic-con because of the rubber stopper. It either fell off or was stolen. They’ve never restocked that particular pin, and its loss still upsets me.

Also, they cost more for preorder but are now on the site at £15 for all three.

Remember kids, this is why we don’t preorder. 😑

I must not cringe.

Cringe is the fun-killer.

Cringe is the little-death that brings total tedium.

More Elder Scrolls Online Loadingscreens (more like wallpapers I think)!

Zenimax added these to the game when you Login in or out, wich is a pretty nice touch in my humble lizardly opinion

Some where pretty hard to capture, because they're on screen for maybe two or three seconds with one second of having no vignette and loading symbol (the first one got it sadly)

Of course all the credit goes to Zenimax and the amazingly talented artist there (⁠｡⁠・⁠/⁠/⁠ε⁠/⁠/⁠・⁠｡⁠)
