there is always hope,but it gets fainter with each passing day....
When the Mongol Squadron's demand for medium armament in a lightweight and maneuverable vessel grew past the point of what Schwalbe Industries could offer, they sought ships illegally again through A. Florea. He was able to get lightweight-rig 'Protector' vessels for a real, well, a real steal. The squadron easilt outfitted a few with heavier weapons and armament, as well as a little more speed. It was one of many vessels they tweaked and piecemealed together over the years.

A villager of old, corrupted by the powers of primal darkness. She once led an army of the living and the dead and laid waste to the Regions of Ice and Water. Sealed away by Ekimu for centuries since, the protectors just hope she will stay that way...

Dormant for the winter, these sharp little buggers still reek havoc on their unsuspecting victims. Theme: Outdoor (2015:4/52)
Of the Crystal Protectors*, as powerful as the common Sprites** are, none can match the Warrior Sprite.
Sprite culture is a generally happy affair with children being taught the traditional "Leightzoar", or "Sprite games" from their start. The "Leightzoar", while quite enjoyable to the Sprites, and quite a spectacle to those outsiders who are privileged to witness them, are also intricate and nuanced aptitude tests.
As throngs of Sprites cheer the youngsters in the demonstrations of skill and the competitive individual and team events, Sprite Elders watch for particular attributes. All Sprite youth can enjoy the benefits of exceling in a particular challenge or sport, but much of their drive comes from the desire to be chosen and elevated to a "Thurnveis" or Warrior Sprite.
The desired aptitudes are generally identified by the elders by the age of 7, with few Sprites being chosen older than 10, and never older than 13. The young Sprite is then separated from society for the 17 year training known as the "Thurnselke" or Warrior's Way. Overall, less than 1% of Sprites qualify.
A fully trained Warrior Sprite is a force to be reckoned with. Their natural Sprite abilities are greatly magnified in both power and range. They learn the art of "twisting" multiple strike forms together and, most devastatingly, the wide ranged wave attacks.
A Warrior Sprite can send forth a pulse of negative energy that can instantaneously stop all life in a quarter mile diameter, or even shape the field to affect certain types of energy.
In the tavern halls, one of the most told events of fantasy warfare is the turning point of the Battle of Lily Down where a rare full battalion of Nightfiends*** were laying waste to the last defenses there. The folks of Lily Down had intentionally established their community as close to a Sprite convene as they could and, as the Battle of Lily Down turned, sought the aid of their neighbors.
A lone Warrior Sprite came in the darkest of that terrible night. Seconds later all the Nightfiends were evaporated. Seconds after that, all of the mighty Troll Brawlers**** lay lifeless. The remaining enemies tried to flee but when the dawn broke, the fair fields of Lily Down were littered with bodies. No enemy escaped.
👾 Happy 🏰 Heroclix 🏯 Friday! 🐉

I realized that I've severely dropped the ball on sharing my new images here. That makes me sad because Flickr is my photographic home and I've hoarded about 30-40 images that I could have been documenting! So here we go...I'm going to post one every day until I get through the lot of them!
This realization that I've been so bad about uploading has also forced me into a different, more intentional headspace. To consider that what I make I also want to share, and that I need to so do with more intent if I want to call myself an artist...or at least the artist I want to be.
This quote is exactly what's going on in my mind this week: "You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will." - Stephen King
When the last tube train has left the station, when the only light is the wet reflections of the neon shop signs, when the foxes come out of their hiding places and when the only sound is the swoosh of the late night delivery trucks along the empty streets, then the protectors come out -- they watch over the streets and the creatures of the city. They are part of the city. They are the city. From what do they protect us, you might ask, if you believe in them. Well, if you don't know, then they, the protectors, are doing a good job of it, right?
