    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    Dunubu was the first man out of the Ornothopter with and arm around Inqu's shoulders. Marhukules wanted to believe it was about more than young Inqu getting his cok wet on the Mansa's dime. Even though such had been the case for many of them. How may times had men come here for the purpose of...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    He still thought about it sometimes. The faces of the men and women that fought beside him in the war that must have been the envy of all the gods. Marhuk remembered their war cries and the aspirations that game them their fervor. How their twisted faces were revealed when colors unimaginable...

    Private Anima

    There wasn't much in the world that scared him in life. After all, he had killed a great many men and women and all manner of creatures outside and in between. It was a hard thing to not think of when they haunted his dreams. When things that were written eternally upon his mind carried the...

    Ten for pleasure. And there was pleasure aplenty to be found in the slaughter of the Mansa's enemies. He thought clearly in moments like these of the words his master had whispered to him on the precipice. Of all of the things that would come and was destined for their people. Of all of the...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    In the desert, a man learned that his hands were as potent as weapon as any in all the world. Marhuk's club made mulch of many many men. Here on this particular theater of war as it had many others, but his hands had done just as much damage. There was one young Imperial that seemed to wield...

    Private Anima

    "...Okay, look. There is only so much I can tell you." Mahdihj as a slimy motherfucker, known in the underbelly of city-states across the Kaikias and among certain tribes as a smuggler of illicit goods, some which were more unsavory than others. He had bulbous eyes and a gaunt face. Always...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    Faamabic script has often been interpreted by Mansabic hearts and the unenlightened from beyond the Kaikias to be barbaric. In those same scripts, the uninitiated are said to only understand the Faamabic Endeavor through having their own blood spilled, for only the pain of reality can turn them...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    Marhukules watched the boy don his mask and lay his head backwards and watched him for a while more before turning his gaze to the window. He hadn't fallen asleep in an Ornothopter since the first one he'd ridden in fell from the sky and onto the streets of Miraj'Dah. And he fought himself...

    "Mhm," Marhuk responded, the left corner of his mouth liftting up a bit as he glanced at Inqu and drifted off to nowhere in particular. Perhaps a memory. "Last time I did was some years ago. You'd have been a little boy at that time. When we retook the city from the Usurper and fought for...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    Gods, wisdom means everything my boy... everything. He watched the younger man as he looked at the grooves and sigils and carvings in that mask so much like the visage of Takoumba. In his eyes there were so many stories that couldn't be shared here within the hull of this aircraft. Stories that...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    He knew the boy cared. All young warriors cared at that age whether they wanted to admit it or not. Marhukules cared what The Prophet thought of him when they arrived with an Armada moved by unshakable truth to take the City back from the Great Usurper. The night where lights clashed in the...

    Private Meze & Machinations

    He eyed the rugs as he turned her words over in his mind... He recalled the first time he ever met the Mansa in that camp so long ago and it felt like they were perhaps even a whole world away. He'd come in robes of white linen, pure and simple. The dust from the sands did not cling to him as...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    The killers get younger every year... Marhukules looks up at the Spider's whelp and meets his bright and happy malice with a older and more weary one of his own. There was a pinch of welcome there all the same. He doesn't answer the question right and sets his dagger back into it's hilt...

    Private Meze & Machinations

    He'd dreamed that morning of her again. He shared a hammock with her at the edge of the desert, near the sea that dreamed... Barzabar had struck her again and even with a bruised visage, she was still the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Perhaps he'd gotten his stoicism from his mother...

    Private Let the Mother Sort Them Out

    On edge of the Greatest City There Is, Was, or Ever Will Be... Dunubu was considered the finest pilot the City had to offer. Though he was highly decorated in war and maneuvering MagiTec in a way that was believed few in the world could match, Marhukules preferred to have him on missions because...

    Private Meze & Machinations

    "You still weep for her, do you not?" Marhukules enjoyed the company of women, but there was no denying the beauty of the Mansa in that moment. He sits across from him and watches as he stands by the balcony of his solar. His white veil hides the stars in his eyes. The ones that many imagined...

    Private As Ancestors Wish

    Their party had been waiting out the sandstorm for three days. Departing from Miradj'Dah meant that they were well provisioned. Marhukules remembered gazing upon the Prophet as he always did when it came to matters of great importance. He spoke words of wisdom, guidance, and comfort from...

    All Day and a Night

    When the Miradi arrived, violence erupted in that small den of rats. Laughing hyenas flooded the room along with their Miradi masters. Steel clashed with steel and many of the thieves found other holes to retreat to. Marhukles held the handle of his club tightly and a powerful arm let it fly...

    All Day and a Night

    Long ago when Miradj’Dah had another name and had not been blessed to Ascend to the Nzuri’s skies under the watchful eye of Aja’re, she who was metropolis was assailed by a sand wyrm of great power. Many a warrior fell before it’s flames and machinations, but the Faamaba Susu came forth to slay...

    Private Deathless

    Night had fallen over the Kaikias and the city was alive that evening. The many sandstone buildings had turned almost grey when the sun ducked behind the distant dunes. Standing tall above them all were the towers of the hanging palaces. Light had left the golden spires and domes as black as and...
