A/N: Not as much interest this time like last time, but as it's not been deleted I'll continue going! The profile's been moved into my author profile as such. If you guys are really interested in some lorespam, let me know so I can start making my notes all pretty. ;-;. This chapter is pretty short, but this is just because it's the introduction, so don't worry! Another chapter is due within the next 24 hours. And then updates should (possibly) begin happening on a Friday, perhaps.


"Get Iznizz and his group of guards. We're going recruiting." Iyera said to one of the guards as she left the room. She picked up her trident on the way out, striding through the maze of corridors on the way to the ship normally reserved for prisoners.

"Surely you'll need me, too!" Aenthu called, hurriedly striding after her as she carried what appeared to be a large tome.

"Yes – very much," Iyera began. "Because we're not just going to go to one planet this time. The audience – and that includes our Gods – have enjoyed it more when we've been catching a variety of aliens." Iyera cut a look to Aenthu, before looking ahead once more. The Iznizz fell into step behind them, the bold colors of the male's blue skin displayed clearly in the purple lighting. Iyera nodded before continuing to talk, directly to Aenthu. "Not just Rothkin, however. Those tameranians the previous Iznizz's squadron managed to subdue for the grand royale were a hit – kept the stands clean for a month. That's because they were the first we had in there. This time I plan to gather more... perhaps enough to keep the normal arena stocked for a while."

"Yiss. Good idea. I have heard murmurs of these things called 'Humans', also. Perhaps they will be of use – quite a few seem to mutate from the influence."

"You mean that little test experiment most of us derived from? However do you think we'll get into there and take us some pawns without the Rothkin finding out? Our alliance would be terminated if they found out."

"That is exactly why we'll unanchor after that – we'll set off and start creating more revenue by opening up more portals leading to hubs. Quite a few of the Yemlans natives view our Arena as the best."

Iyera silently agreed, inclining her head. "We'll have to set up business in their underground on some of the planets, then. We'll send back a message once we return with our first batch, and we'll see if we can get ties to the planets we take pawns from."

Finally reaching the launch bay's entrance, Iyera touched the spiked end of her trident to what appeared to be a small blue circular button. It started to glow, before the doors slid open. Peering inside, Iyera turned to Aenthu.

"You know your role – keep them subdued with your mind prisons and your magic. Just let me do the navigating."

"You've got an agreement."

"When have I not, Aenthu?"

There was no response. Iyera turned to the Iznizz. "I believe you have your squadron ready in the ships?"

"Yes Ma'am."


A/N2: Character introductions may be done all at once, or in pairs/threes. It depends how long it will be.
