No Man's Drabbles

by HonestScribe

Some drabbles I wrote to battle writer's block. This micro form of storytelling is so fun that I will be adding more. Keep interloping and enjoy! Note: Some of the planets may differ from those seen in the game proper. These drabbles may or may not take place in the same universe as my long-fic, Euclid Skies.

2. The Scout

The Ancestors did not smile on her. They did not smile on the day of her birth, and they did not smile today.

This was no way for a Vy'keen to die, she mused. Dead on her first scouting mission, pinned under tons of rock. She shifted, making out the other's crushed forms, and tried to pull herself from the rubble, growling with effort. She would not die this way. She wanted battle glory, to scream and slay like Hirk.

The search party found her at the cave's mouth, free from the rubble. Cause of death: exhaustion and internal injuries.
