The final showdown

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 11:46:50 +0000

The golden rays of a setting sun painted the beach in warm hues, the waves rolling in with a gentle rhythm. Two young sisters sat side by side on the sand, their father standing tall behind them, his silhouette framed by the glowing horizon. One of the rare vacations they ever took. But that was a long time ago…

The crew was grateful to have a moment of rest after their recent perils. And whilst Draven might have lost pieces of himself, with the crew at his side, they were determined to help him piece it back together—one chaotic memory at a time.

Will they find their beloved crewmate Rose or is all hope lost for a reunion? Will Korzan find a way to get his hands on the Black Pulse crew or will they slip away? Will Eve find Lunahryn to make a cure for her people and her sister? Will Shade’s trust in Zyra falter after Jake’s sharp words? Will the federation step in to keep Havoc’s reach under control? Will Thomas continue making questionable dishes like spaghetti au camembert? Stay tuned for season 2 of the Black Pulse.

Where blades meet

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 21:20:42 +0000

The VIP lounge exuded exclusivity, with soft lighting and velvet drapes muffling the sounds of the bar outside. Jake leaned back in his booth, perfectly composed, his sharp suit practically glowing against the dim ambiance. Meanwhile, our friends made their way to his booth to discuss the matter of the bounty.

Back at the arena, 2 of Korzan’s hardworking cronies, Slag and Bork, shuffle through the rows of spectators, their second-row seats just steps away from the chaos of the arena. The faint smell of charred meat wafts through the air, mingling with the sounds of clinking glasses and the murmurs of an excited crowd.
