Okay I have my get know thread that's not what this is. The thought is no one really gets an idea on what something will be like until I post it unless they're seeing my Facebook posts. This is place here I can put a short unfinished preview of something I'm working on. Anyone has comment or questions feel free. Here's the first preview.
New project still needs a name. Something a bit different my hope is it will be an adventure with humor that is not just different for me but some what new to the reader. by Ash I am shaphile my name is Britz. I would like to say I'm a elegant shaplile girl with great hair, colorful wings and proud of everything about myself without being a lair. All shaphiles are short compared to things like humans but I'm barely over 3 feet. My dark hair is flat and hard to work with feels like I can never have hair curled for just even an hour. I'm an absolute klutz. The wings on my back a mostly dull gray with sades of brown and orange mixed in. And if I was truly proud of my body I wouldn't have just finished 50 sit ups to look like I do when I suck in my gut. My grandmother told me stories of how things before humans, before Mechanic City, before the reedic and when the wild spirit creatures were calm rarely noticed. I was born into a very different world in my small village of Creekside. I know plenty about the human reedic fights across the world of Ordomence but it always felt far away reedics never came here before in my life. I have been more worried about grades, money and other normal things for someone in my position. I just finished my last test for my associate's degree and looking forward to transferring to my new college when my home town was suddenly attacked by a group reedic. I can't just hide or run I got figure something to help people. Human kind came from Earth however it has been a long time since anyone in my family has been to Earth. My great grandparents were apart of the generation to settle on this world the big oh what ever it's called. By the way I'm Vince I'm not the most impressive looking person unless you count fitting into jeans with a size 38 waist impressive. I'm 6 foot 1 and really rather not say what my weight is until I lose some of it. Dark blonde hair and blue eyes though does make me stand out a bit I guess. Uncommon to blonde hair on a human in Mechanic City for sure. Mechanic City is my home I was born here. Many of the first generation of humans here were frustrated with how the colony was run. They left the colony and built Mechanic City on far away on a giant nearly flat empty rock. It was to be a place where talent and education was encouraged. Of course it not like no one notices when a city appears. The colonies army came started trying to boss the people of Mechanic City around and that when things started going from bad to worse. What the city is now may not have happened if we didn't get some surprise help in our dark moment of dread when the city people thought they lost everything they worked for unique native creatures that many call spirits started making a lot noise. They made the city people stronger and protected them in making a stand. Today news came the reedic are attacking but are held back by the city guard and defense system. Then news they also attacking Creekside I may not be much of fighter but I can't just sit by and do nothing I go with others hoping I can do something to help. I'm reedic I hate myself, I hate this army, I hate my people and hate I tell you I hate being 156 of my worlds years old. These humans they got it made lose an leg get a new leg and send them home. They pulling more robots and machines out there to fight instead too. What the reedic do these twist nightmares to work for oh they give you new legs, arms and what ever. Then send you back out more machine all the time. You start out like any young reedic a yellowish green tall figure with a full head of hair. Then they turn you into cyborg over time and extend your life so long as you keep serving some how. Which I hate I've had my children. I've had my grandchildren. I've had great grandchildren. I've gotten so old I can't even remember my name I do this because it's programed into me I would love just not survive this next mission. We are what the heck hang on. "Hey where's the bridge we should be crossing." The scout points to the map and said, "we should find the bridge here sir." At this point looking at map I thought about this and looked around confused but sure enough I in the right spot. There was no bridge just water and explained, "this is spot but there is no bridge. Does look like there has been bridge here in even century. What heck where did this map come from is it seriously over a hundred years old? We should got google map of the area." So our scouting party didn't do much except walk more finding a good around. Then ended up in a mess in an unlisted town. Oh hope someone puts me out of this misery.

Here's thing I lot more done on February so much typed plus hand written notes but I hate give too much more than this in the preview. If gave out more it be giving important plot points. This gives taste of world the story takes place in and idea on the style of the story.
February Land by Ash
In a world where the night sky is dominated by the Earth and Moon seen overhead one that stands upon this world must wonder if they're any real humans left. Facts where these people going by the title glow sticks look much like humans with enough clothing on. Naked or less clothed one can see what looks like tubing under their skin through torsos, necks, upper arms and thighs that in the dark glows with light between a shade of yellow and a shade of light violet. Another very important difference that can be seen is they are built to survive being frozen however long term freezing leads to memory loss. That's where facts get unclear. Often made more unclear by old men that tell stories and argue. You know how old men are with their stories. It said when this world appeared in the solar system the claim is somehow humans arrived the old men argue on points of how, who and why. Some argue only human men came, others human women, some say both genders and some say none. Those that claim humans have come tell of young people giving into the star feat captain syndrome making two people one people.
All that a side at this moment Ben is 30 years, 1 months, 5 days, 14 hours, 23 minutes old an engineer building gear for Chain Works was tired and struggling due to his wife making him sleep on the couch due to being caught drinking real milk. The facts are these the wife has taking up an issue with milk and buys fake milk made from a nut. Ben has objections to this considering it fake milk and milk should come from animals. His guilty pleasure was 2% milk from a bovine. He got a call to meet a Chain Works member at a crime scene. That will be important later.
Also at that moment Tel was 24 years, 3 months, 17 days, 3hours, 3 minutes old was in the city of New London testing new weapons. After a few rounds in the ring testing the force field in a metal knuckle fight he went to the shooting range. Tel picks up a gun aims at the target and fires. Now at the speed of 1126 feet per second there's not a lot of time to react when something goes wrong. The bullet hit his force field and came back hitting his shoulder. Tel- "Oh that's going to be hard to explain at the hospital."
Zarina age 23 years, 9 months, 3 days, 23 hours, 22 minutes arrives at the hospital to check on Tel. Zarina greets Tel, "hello heard you shot yourself." "Don't get me started me started. You know what? You got me started this force field tech sucks." 45 minutes he ranted.

Possible idea I don't know about maybe not going any where but sometimes you have to get the idea down see how it look think about and get outside perspective. Beth woke up in a place she didn't recognize. Bath- "Where am I this time?" She hears noises and goes to investigate it. She sees men vandalizing a business. She turns into a cloud of smoke and move up to them. Vandal number 1- "What's smoking?" Beth appears and knocks him out then goes to smoke again.... After the vandals had gone or were knocked out Beth took a solid shape. Beth- "So why am I being pulled around like this." After searching she found a paper with the business address.... Beth's roommate Stacy wakes up and sees her on her laptop. Stacy- "What are you working on so early?" Beth- "Researching a vandalism in a town called Anchorhead." Stacy- "Why?".... Beth goes back to the scene of the crime. She sneaks into the business she hears talking. The business owner- "I don't understand who are these people?" Vandal number 2- "I don't know when we showed there was no one around and as soon as the smoke rolled in they were there.".... The business owner- "Now I got guys in jail that want me to get them out." The phone rings and picks up, "hello... yes... okay... bye." Hangs up the phone. Vandal number 2- "So what's the word?" The business owner- "Same plan new approach we're going to meet the man that paid me to have my business vandalized come on." .... Beth follows the men to a car. They get in. Beth turns in smoke and goes hides in cars muffler..... They arrive at the meeting place and Beth sneaks out by pretending to be car exhaust.... The men went into an apartment where they met the Swordsman. Swordsman- "I'm sending you away. There's no need to worry about those behind bars talking. This will still work for me."..... As the business owner and the vandal leave Beth thinks about if she should follow them or stay to try to learn more about this mysterious man with swords.....
That all I came up with really aside from old notes that I'm not sure about. I'm sure about any of it but it's idea and I am open to anyone else that has thoughts.

Super Machines by Ash Age 19 Michelle 5foot 2 dark haired woman was having a lazy and relaxing day in the park a break from work and classes. That is until some spaceships in a dog fight broke the calm. Two were sleek looking like fighter jets for outer space attacking something bigger more boxy. The bigger one came crashing down first followed by the other two. Michelle was scared but too interested to run away she wanted to see what happened next. The smaller crafts opened up and there was 6 large machines with cylinder bodies, 4 legs, a wide half dish head and laser gun on the backs. As they moved to the bigger ship a side door opened and out came an alien that looked more like it was made for a brawl than a space walk holding some kind of space riffle. After the ground fight with the exchange of fire the alien was injured and called out for help. "Is there anyone here that can help me? Ow... I need help!" Michelle came out into the open and inquired, "do you know English well enough to explain what you need.?" The alien down on one knee explained, "I have a translator built into my suit a bit of a delay but it works." Michelle asked, "how can I help?" The alien said, "I need to get to medical equipment made for my kind." Michelle helped him get to his space ship. "My name is Michelle by the way. What's yours?" He explained, "hard for a human to say just call me Ex." As they entered the craft she asked, "Okay Ex what else do you need help with?" As Ex sits down on a bench he explains, "I need you to take this key card to the.. over there you'll see where to put it." Michelle took to card and noticed what looked like smoke coming out of the injured side of Ex. She entered the cockpit put on her glasses and found the card slot. As the ship lifted off she hurried to strap in. She yells back to Ex, "hey what's going on am I being abducted?" Ex answers back, "no we are heading right back to Earth after I get to my recovery chamber." Michelle asked, "where is that?" He answered, "the planet your kind call Jupiter hidden between layers of gas where it's no hot enough to wreck the other ship." Reaching Jupiter another ship rises out of the clouds the auto pilot docks on the larger ship. Ex says to her, "I collected oxygen on Earth you can breath in this suit until we get back to Earth please hurry getting it on I need to get to that recovery chamber fast now." Michelle helped him to the recovery chamber. Ex told her, "okay thank you now stand back." What looked like a large glass tube came down over him and filled with gas. Michelle heard Ex through helmet speaker say, "now I will give you step by step instructions on how to get back to Earth safely." Michelle followed the instructions to a room with a metal table, seats and computer stuff on 3 sides of the walls. Wider on the side she enter and narrowed to the opposite side. To her right the wall had 2 large closed doors with levers by them. She pulled the levers down and the doors opened. As the doors open Michelle inquires, "hey Ex what is with the robots?" Ex states, "they are going to fly the ship to Earth Michelle." The machine men step out the red and black one says, "hi Michelle you can call me Zack." The blue and black one says, "I'm Dwayne." Michelle asks, "seriously your names are Zack and Dwayne nothing alien a human can't pronounce?" Zack explains, "we've had over a year on Jupiter to come up with Earth names." Dwayne tells her, "you should get strapped in tight for the trip back home." --------- --------- ---------
Monster World, Part 1 Enter Bones Fordage by Ash
His name is Fordage Miller people use to believe he was pretty sick with fibrous dysplasia. A lot has changed his being able to grow extra bones has become something more of a mystery that doesn't seem to harm him. Adam Skinner reporting this file starts with death Front Royal, Virginia 12:37pm Saturday the body of James Miller his cousin was discovered. Then 12:40pm Donna Miller his aunt was reported missing. Before Fordage Miller got to Front Royal his cousins killer was arrested a gay basher turned murderer. The body of his aunt was found but county coroner couldn't determined cause of death due to how much the wildlife had gotten to the body.
Days later 4 more female deaths in the area became news with missing woman around the county reported. All the 4 dead woman cause of death was unknown.
At this time now Thursday it started to get to feel like something was up the county coroner wasn't giving anything helpful. That's around when Fordage came to find me for help. Looking at the same finding as the county coroner I say top suspect would be jaguar and hyena. Possible some these wonders could have been caused by a shark or parona. Nothing normal to find around here for sure.
Fordage was understandably unhappy with my findings. I tried to explain, "look I know it's not what you want to hear but the extremely weird nature might make finding you aunts killer easier." Fordage asked, "how?" I explained, "logic says start with the who that being people with access to one or more animals unlikely to find here. Then we also need to check the where for anything possibly missed."
That night while Fordage slept two images would appear on his own body. On the front of his right shoulder looked like a tattoo of a skull and other bones in flames clutching a heart. On the back of his left shoulder a darker image a skull with a scythe and hour glass in green flames.

So yeah this ones has very clear blanks and skipped quite a bit didn't want to give away too much in plot for the preview. So I have not made any good art work that I've been happy with so far I keep feeling I need to make changes which takes a while I'm more a writer than drawer. Would welcome help for this pictures would help this story I feel being able to see the image I'm sure described the image well enough. Well rough draft I have time think about how to make that image clearer.
Flies and Bees, Part 1 by Ash It started with a crash blinding lite and a loud noise. The first to be affected will be two that weren't even born at the time of the event. To the Galvez family Juan Galvez who glows green under a black light was born. The affects on the other child were hard to flat out impossible to hide. The Scott family adopted Robert Scott he was completely fluorescent yellow. Doctors were unable to explain this. Other things would come later. On the first day of college Juan catches a bus and takes a seat across from Robert saying, "hey Mellow Yellow." Robert looks at him and replies, “hey Juan.” Miles away a phone rings a man named Brandon Apple picks up answering, "hello." The caller announces, "it's Kane I have a job for you." Brandon asks, "what is the job?" Kane replies, "a government van will be traveling on I-5 bring me the vans cargo unopened. My email will tell all you need to know use cypher red." - - Brandon gives Kane the box....... Kane pulls a large disk shaped object silver in color and placed it on a record player. The sound hatches some eggs large red and black bug like creatures started flying around eating plants and singing. The singing wakes up larger bugs hidden under ground and hatches more eggs. - - The hair on the back of necks of Juan and Robert stood on end their necks were hot and tingled then they saw a swarm of bugs. When a swarm of one foot tall bugs spots Juan and Robert they dived down to attack them. Juan and Robert were filled with tremendous rage and turned into their armored forms. Juan was covered with green armor skin with black lines across his body, large blue eyes, dark blue around his elbows, dark blue around his knees and 4 wings coming out of his back. Robert was covered in dark yellow armor skin with black lines, red eyes, dark brown across his chest back, maroon elbows, maroon knees and 4 wings coming out of his back. They charged into a fight....... The swarm wasn't strong enough to fight them......

This is another revenge story in Eagle Cliff. Okay well I do tend to come up with some different stuff. This will wrap up some old stuff nice and neat before moving on in the next part. I not giving a lot way in this aside from will hit on stuff from past story-line parts. I figured out the intro which gives an idea what it's about some plus I did some world building explaining the magic a little better and I'm sure how much I'll get into that in this particular part. Then maybe I'll put it under the Get to know Story Time with Ash thread.
Eagle Cliff, part 4 Justified by Ash
Balance, justice, nature it is said that vengeance should not belong to man. Man kind has made to many mistakes to be trusted to know for sure what is right or wrong. To bring some sense of balance to life justice systems were invented. The justice system I know best is not a part of the natural world. Letting go of a desire for vengeance and putting trust into others that do not share the same pain with acceptance of a ruling no matter what it is can is often hard for people. It can also be impossible for people. Truest test of someones character is in the balance of their soul. What can you give up rather than what can you keep? What can you accept or forgive? Vengeance doesn't belong to any of us it's like a rope round a neck slowly getting tighter when we seek it out until everything you once was is dead to be replaced by one that would cross a line that never be uncrossed.
It was now late spring with summer getting close it was a hot day Eagle, Mouse and Molly were spending at a park in Chehalis. Mouse was getting frustrated practicing new spell casts. Eagle says, "stop there lets review some of the basics." With a disgruntled grunt Mouse said, "why can't I just give it a break until tomorrow?" Eagle seemed to ignore the comment, "I want you focus on the 7 towers style of casting. When I use my magic I have my towers set with tower one air/gas, two lightning, three sky, four forge, five heart/soul, six spirit and seven seals." He draw a picture while Mouse inquired, "aren't air and sky magic basically the same? And aren't soul and spirit magic basically the same too?" The pixie Molly rolled her eyes knowing that she was wrong and this going to lead to a long explanation.
