《Worth: A Star Wars Story》//PRELUDE: A Message From Kando
Advertisement
Dear Kid,
Or maybe "kids". Who knows? You two might know one another someday if the Empire decides to be kind or the war ends before your lives do. Maybe you'll even be friends. I can't help but wonder what it would have been like if you two had met before... before, well, everything. You're more alike than you'd think.
I'm, ah, narrating this for you now because... Well, because I'm afraid of losing what little is left. The Empire likes to embellish things. They also like to forget. If by some miracle these rebels win, then chances are their Republic won't talk about this all either. Makes them look bad, you know? Creating an army of slave soldiers to fight their wars isn't exactly the image they want to recall the good ol' days. You both deserve the full truth. The entire account of my life.
It may be hard for you, Shiny, to understand most of what I did at the end, but know that I have always tried to do the right thing, by the Empire, the Republic, and everyone in it. Everything I did was for the Republic and my brothers. I thought of nothing else until that oath I took began to affect the men around me. I was loyal until I couldn't do it anymore. I hope you realize it earlier than I did if that time ever comes, and I hope you do the right thing. remember: the men at your shoulders and behind you are the only real things that matter. Never forget that.
Talen, you were bright. You were smart. You were brave. Most of all, you were kind. I hope that despite whatever the world has thrown at you since that day in that shuttle bay, that you never lost that ability to be kind. I never had the luxury of being gentle. Hold that gift close and never let it go. The world is getting darker no matter where you stand. You're a Jedi. You are that light for everyone who followed you just like the Empire is for others. Don't ever let that light go out.

I probably won't make it off Mimban. I'm getting old and these deployments are getting longer and longer. I've got grey in my hair now. Lots of it. Once I outlive my usefulness....
Well, I'd prefer not to think about that. You're alive, and I'm not. Guess that's all that matters in the end. To me, at least. You both made it, and I can't tell you how kriffing proud I am to have known you. Both of you.
There were times I thought about having family and what it meant, about having sons or daughters to remember you when you're gone. I never had that privilege, but you two are the closest thing I have to living family. I guess that will have to be enough, and I want you both to know that it's more than enough to have two living people to remember me by when all of my brothers are gone.
Remember me. I don't want anything else. I don't deserve anything else. For all the bad I did, I hope I did some good by helping you two. If you both live to be good people, then I've done enough.
Vode An, Shiny. May the Force be with you, Talen.
This is CT-7209...
No. This is Kando, signing off one last time.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

The Fat Prince: The Orc Princess
Prince Cyrus and his heroic band of misfits only have three days left to save Princess Trinity from the nefarious Everblood vampires and time is not on their side. They've reached Hynest Ridge- a mammoth waterfall that no human can scale. The Everblood's dark stronghold lies at the top, remaining safely out of Cyrus' reach. Only a legend speaking of the forest dwelling Aquarian elves offers some relief to the heroes. Aquarian elves can manipulate water and form large bubbles to carry themselves and others. Cyrus and his friends quickly realize they must find one of these legendary elves in order to proceed on their journey. In the middle of the night, Cyrus is kidnapped in a bubble and taken into the dark forest where he is held hostage by a scruffy, ten-year-old elven girl named Oga. She claims to be a ferocious orc who lives by the orc code of pillaging, stealing, and hunting, but Cyrus and his friends can see there's something more to this species-confused elf than she lets on. Tricking Oga into returning to her village, they realized that this young elf is not only the heir to the royal elven bloodline but a future sacrifice in order to keep the waters of the land purified. Can they save Oga from the deadly fate of her true heritage? And will Cyrus and his friends find a way to reach Princess Trinity in time? Find out in this exciting third installment of The Fat Prince.

Going be slow paced uploads. No promise of completion. Typing to improve. *** Description - Story is going follow MC, Will. He's going to go exploring the new world after the cataclysm. Going to have some science, but is mostly going to focus on fantasy. Magic, monsters, etc. Setting - Two worlds smack each other, destroying Earth in the 22 century. All known settlements are in districts and are the verge of a breakthrough in genetics to improve humans beyond their limits. Technology doesn't work outside of the eletromagnetic fields, and magic is a toxin. Plot - Anything I can think of on the spot. I type as I think, which is what I'm the best at. No outlines nothing like that, but maybe a character/place worksheet to use as a reference. *** Email me for any sugggested revisions, most likely to be seen btw. -PS I'm a junior in college working towards a duel degree.
