**DISCLAIMER**
I do not own Starcraft or any of its associated properties, characters or species.

I use them in an Alternate Universe capacity, with my own characters, interpretations of existing ones including but not limited to belief systems and familial ties, events speculated or written of by others (Including the original Antioch Chronicles and their fictions from the early 2000's which are almost impossible to find anymore) and am a lover of Multiverse Theory acknowledging storylines.
I am aware several of my main characters are 'Mary Sue' or 'Marty Stu' characters, within context though and given my ability to write all of their stories out, I hope that you, the reader, would understand why and be willing to set aside any grievance with such.

Several species mentioned here are mine however, are likely still in development (indefinitely because I'm a huge procrastinator) and will be only briefly touched on in official capacity within the confines of a story.
As much of my personal and continuously editing storylines are tied into existing universes (including some that are far more obscure than more recent ones) I will do my best to tag appropriately.

If you are interested, I have a Discord server for RP/Questions and will be very cautious about chatting as I've been burned many times. I also have several art pages I frequent, though my main character hub is privatized.

I may do requests, if enough interest is brought up and it's a character I resonate with, and am familiar with the universe, so don't be afraid to send me a PM!

**END DISCLAIMER**

**Karax, are you certain?** Artanis, still hyper focused on the brush where the strange Zergling sat hiding only a few paces from Rohana, concerned that, somehow, another Ark ship had launched without their knowledge. Following the end War and defeat of Amon, Artanis had been certain to check, under Rohana's direction, the locations of the two other Ark ships, finding most of their outer hull had been destroyed, their command centers in pieces or their solarite cores knocked loose or allowed to simply burn out, as they had been sitting untouched for over a millennia. Only the Spear of Adun had launched from Aiur's surface.
**Yes Hierarch. The Spear received a brief form of systems update from it, surprisingly, though it quickly cut connection and masked its location.** Karax carefully went through the holo-controls for the Spear as they appeared from his control gauntlet, an image of the Ark ship that had contacted and sent a minor software update to the Spear, appeared over the other holo panels, Karax's eyes going wide. Artanis hazarded a glance, blinking once, before frowning.
The ship looked like the Spear, however several massive floating panels, akin to those utilized by Void Rays, spun around and obscured much of the other Ark ship, which appeared to be made of much darker, almost void-black metal.
**Of course, Alarak must have been jealous.** Artanis scoffed, to which Karax shook his head.
**I do not believe so, Hierarch, look. The Spear identified it as 'Obsidian Flare'.** Karax paused, frowning and looking to Rohana, who had turned at the name.
**The Flare? That was Judicator Xerxes' ship. The only Ark ship that had launched prior to all who went into stasis. The conclave hated that he had commandeered it, however none dared challenge his ownership or command.** Rohana offered. Unaware that the Zergling had moved, cautiously peering out at the collection of Protoss and Terrans. Vorazun saw it move, summoned shadow and blinked forward, bringing her blade down onto the bush. As she rematerialized mid-strike, Rohana recoiled, the Zergling leaping forward to almost land in her lap as she fell back onto her rump, the Zergling between her feet with a broad leaf landing on its headcrest and carapace.
**Get back here!** Vorazun snarled, moving to strike again as the Zergling then leapt straight up, dodging that strike and grabbed the leaf, landing on Vorazun's back and leaping off toward the cave. The leaf was used in a fluid and almost imperceptible motion by the Zergling to slap Vorazun in the face lightly and then released the large leaf in order for it to hang there a moment, more intended to temporarily blind her as it escaped.
Zagara had since turned to watch the chaos, amused, that such a small, unassuming Zergling could so easily evade -and insult!- the Nerazim Matriarch. The Zergling did not realize it was running directly into Artanis' range, until the Hierarch narrowly missed its head crest -which Artanis could make out small nervecord like bulbs just barely visible beneath it- letting out a surprised shriek and quickly flipping over to roll under his other blade, through his legs, only to be stopped by Valerian standing in its path. It stopped, staring wide-eyed at him when it righted itself, meeting his green-blue eyes with brilliant violet gemfire ones.
Artanis made move to engage again, the Zergling quickly hopped and turned, standing only on its hind legs, blade-limbs extending out from its back with a snap and forepaws, four-toed and far more articulate than the single blades of other Zerglings, held in a ready position.
Vorazun apologized hurriedly as she helped Rohana up, Egon and Karax watching the whole encounter in awe, Valerian standing frozen, surprised that the Zergling instead turned to face the threat to it, instead of killing him as he expected. Even Artanis seemed confused, blades still ignited, yet holding them low.
"Zerglings don't have the balance for that, how?" Egon muttered, saying aloud what those around him were thinking, quickly jotting information into his tablet. Karax nodded, as Artanis and the others had looked to the two when Egon spoke, Rohana secretly fumed, she could tell the strange little Zergling-like creature had intelligence, and likely knew how to converse. The stance it took, when cornered, instead of tearing into Valerian, showed her it had to have been trained by someone who had been amongst the Templar.

Artanis nodded to Rohana, having glanced over his shoulder at her when she wordlessly expressed her thoughts, Karax intrigued and Vorazun unsettled by the possible implications. As he turned his attention back to the Zergling, Artanis felt something tug at the back of his mind, its eyes reminded him of something from his past, a sudden memory flashing across his vision.
The stasis cell he had been found in, just as it was being filled with him inside, his brother standing just beyond it with his palms on the glass, reassuring him that he would return. His brother's eyes had been that same vivid violet colour.
