The Inquisitors Folly
Prologue
The least that could be made of Thraxis, was not made in good heart. Long ago, the world had become compliant to the light of the Imperium. Compliance and peace seemed so distant in modern times.
Little could be said of the planets surface. No major oceans existed, and the soil took up a dark brown color, akin to soot. Wide forests occupied a good portion of the planet, and they're stink seemed to conquer all corners of it. The smell was something not too distant of the smell of decomposing organic material.

Masks
We all wear our masks
Not a mask of theater, but one of life
Our masquerades are as many as they are complex
The porcelain of false perfection
The stone of wrath and vengeance

I have seen the masks of Blood, Hate, Love, Lies, and falseness

To shed these masks are forbidden by the laws of conformity we live so abidingly by
However, in time the porcelain of lies chips away
One day, the mask will disappear
When my mask fades, the world will see me for what I am
As for you, when your mask fade

Fatherlands Vengeance (Pacific Rim Fanfic)
Fluttering past, memories of yesteryear.
The lion pen in Novi Sad Zoo, a cat named Mish who crunched on dead birds under her bed, and a weekend trip to Mostar where grandpa Jovan lived all danced through the linked minds of Spasoje Kovic and Milla Ristic. And then, they and hundreds of other fleeting moments long gone, like the impressions left by an unmemorable dream, converged and congealed in their newfound gestalt. They were one, standing combat-ready in the Mark II Fatherland's Vengeance, two once-estranged twins.
Immense, in many ways unrefined, and with a caged visor that gave it a decidedly animal visage, the Fatherland was gently
