The end of it all, that is what had awaited him here at this the last stretch of land. The blue crescent sea rushed up as it came in carried by the tide. It pressed up and shoved harshly against the shores. All of this world knew of the sea, yet few had come out to see it. You could not even drink the water so why would you come and look upon the endlessness of it all? The clouds lingering at the ends of the horizons appeared as walls demarcating the ends of the world. Everything beyond this was consumed by the veracity of the eternal sea. Just along the horizon you could make out the smoky tendrils that pressed their way across the sea. H...

"Pizza is a universal constant, to the point that the idea of pizza being the defining factor for sentience was voted in unanimously by 5,935 out of 5,936 Council Species. The Humans that abstained from this and most related concepts fought against it with all their will but even with their great fleets the rest of the universe united on this ideal was too much for them to overcome." "Schlst, Schlst! Et Schslt fr niev!" The being had three arms that worked in the same category as legs while having fingers. It walked back and forth in front of a small hole in the ground. Identical beings swarmed around it and mostly ignored it. It balanced ...

I am a bastard; a being that should have no place among this council. Indeed with these remarks I refute it for the breadth of my actions. The stars are dark and cold, I along with the rest of you have watched them for eons, with the rest of you I questioned why they were as such. In the realms of my questioning I surpassed your combined efforts, struck as I was by the want of knowing. The stars are dark now for the simplest of reasons. The challengers, those that we must triumph against, those that we wait for do not come from them. They in fact have arrived whilst we gazed upon the stars, and more so they have been here for the last ten ...

There lie a trillion lifeless forms on the thresholds of our habitat. The skies of our planets are filled with the floating bodies and broken ships. Ninety nine hundredths of the floating corpses slowly being bleached by the stars are of my own species. This horror is the vengeance of a race we extinguished an eon ago. The barest of concern was taken with their species. They were annihilated with the same prejudice as all the others, yet the method was simple. The life was cleansed, sheared off of the surface with the countless impacts of meteorites. They were gone before they could send more than the smallest of probes to another planet. ...

"Humanity burns as it's ashes are spread across the void. In this though Humanity holds triumph over those who upon her heaped pain." The elderly man whispered. The vibrations funneled up through his throat and were released into the crisp air of this world. Ahead of him a distance, a envoy of metal trudged towards him. Their tracks arced behind them into the horizon. "You land on my world, and deign to make an example of me." They slowly closed the distance, adorned as they were in mechanical suits their true forms were unrecognizable. Stances shifted as they neared and the group fanned out. A primordial hunt seemed to be playing itself o...

One man to create change. Truly, before recent events this would be a fallacious claim. Now though the idea sits at the forefront of so many minds. With smaller methods it is hard to take note of the actions of a mere individual. With humans it is the same. The difference lies in the fact that a human can sift through lies and determine which they want to believe. And with little preparation a human can make you believe as well. The media portrays them as plotting and cruel, their deceitful nature shown by the windows to your soul. When you look into a human's eyes you, yourself, and your environment is reflected. This seems strange and af...

All translations and simplifications are made to aid you, the reader, in the understanding of the story. Thank you. The room was empty, a void permeated by the slightest hint of light fluttering through the air. Small viscous circles aligned in a circle underlaying open spots with circles of multi-colored lights that spiraled outwards. A light emanating from the center of the room faded to a soothingly ethereal blue. The blue light grew in intensity and revealed the edges of the room. It was circular, the edges taperin...

"Do you know how much it costs to terraform a planet? "It literally costs a fortune. It takes the gross product of thirty to ninety middle ranking planets! And as soon as its colonized whoever did the investing to bring this typically barren rock into a habitable state is screwed as the DELF1 swoops in. So what, you ask, does no one colonize planets? Obviously that's not true. Here at Gen-Mega we have an average of 10 new habitable planets opening up a year. DELF statistics read that each of those planets are swarmed by around 19 million colonists within weeks. "Simply put, that rate if done by conventional methods would drain nearly all o...

A thousand bleats echoed through the dark room. "To never have forsaken goaty path." An Amber light rose in the middle of the room, While the bleats grew in volume."To never horns with a great bull clash." Great horns punctured the floor from below and the room grew to an intense light."Alone with a human to never be a feast." The horns pressed into the air and a head protruded from the floor as well."To never be prey, and to fell those we mean to kill." The full snout of a great statue rose from the floor. In a thunderous motion, all of the goats in the horribly bright room stood and kicked in perfect synchronicity."To never twist from ou...

The goat stood high above me and looked down with a bleat of disgust. "BLEAT." Your incompetence only seems to grow. I cannot teach one who is this stupid.Purple light crackles between its horns and I felt the ground pull away from me. Or rather I was pulling away from the ground. The light grew into a deep blue and I lifted above the goat elder.It turned away. "BLEAT BLEAT" you stuttering imbecile next time wave your horns to the left Then the right. I cast my eyes away in shame and bleated mournfully. I would be kicked from the school with these wounds and sent back to my small pen on the other side of the world."Bleat." You aren't going...
