There was always something hypnotic about the heartbeat. To some, it was the sound of life, of one's self. Evidence of existence and vitality. To Xeus, it was the ubiquitous reminder. One that was and became what ever he needed it to be. It was the first thing heard when woke from slumber. It...

As the Matukai warrior took his first few steps outside the farmhouse, his movements had become a blur. A visible blur, but ghost-like haze nonetheless. Unaware of the circumstances surrounding him potentially being compromised, Xeus metabolized the Light within him to the extent he could. And...

Every twitch of the muscle, every pulsation in his veins. He could feel all of it. Matukai were trained specifically to be in tune with their bodies. Even beyond their wan-shens, a Matukai's body was their ultimate weapon. Inhaling deeply, engrossing himself in the expansion of his chest and the...

THIRTY-SIX HOURS AGO Lightning. Thunder. A deluge of rain thrashing in the howling gale. It was a storm, perhaps a hurricane, perhaps not. For over twenty-four hours, a dozen sapient beings, Matukai warriors, had stood still in a meditative stance. The elements spiraled around them as lightning...

Metallic shards and duracrete dust whisked in the air in the aftermath of Xeus' Force-enhanced shout. And no sooner had it did the shroud of Darkness fall from around the formerly hidden Sith. It was imperceptible to his physical sight, as well as his Beyond-Sight, but he didn't need the vaunted...

Enhancing the senses was a specialized ability of the Matukai, as mastering them, both in their natural state and Force-augmented. Even against the Savants and Elders of the Matukai, Xeus was considered a master of his senses. Robbed of his sight, he could still fight at optimal capacity through...

"All hostiles terminated," a trooper sergeant replied, kicking over a stormtrooper with several holes burned through the breastplate of his armor. The firefight left the air smoldering with the scent of blaster gas and thermal scorching. Something as amiss, however. By now, the opposition...

"103rd platoon, target heavy weapon at relayed coordinates." The thunderous booms of the aerial bombardments violently quaked the air and the ground, as if the entire landscape were about to cave into the mantle below. The anti-aircraft turbolaser batteries were repelling the bombers and...

It was like a storm of explosions. Flashes of crimson bolts and azure energy clusters rained down as the Defiance Armada struck with extreme prejudice. Xeus didn't glance back at the men and woman in his charge - they knew what about to happen, what they were about to do. The tenseness of the...

Silence. It was a perfect silence. His breathing, slowed in a haphazard meditative exercise. His hand gripped tightly to a silverly-white three-metered bladed trident, as he sat in the greatest expectation of it. The only interruptions to his auditory void was that quiet thunder, rhythmic and...

It was almost a thing of pure reaction, pure instinct. Exhaling as sharply as he could, Xeus held what air was in his lungs, using the Force to preserve it. He was a warrior of the Matukai, an Adept and expert martial artists, but even he had limits, and bearing the 'aroma' of his canine brother...

Xeus had grown accustomed to living a life where he wouldn't know where he'd end up next. What others would consider a lack of stability, he saw as opportunity. Opportunity to see the galaxy, opportunity to reach those that the rest of the galaxy had forgotten about, even the opportunity to...

Depends on the kind of love. You mean like romantic love? Love between friends (ala philia)? Principled love? Family-based love (ie; instant love for a child when born)? etc. Because there are many different kinds of live, they are hence defined in different ways. Some expressions of love might...

Good to be back, thanks mate

It's finally August!!! For those unaware, I've been abnormally busy these last few weeks/months. This month was predicted early-on as being a "finally slowing the heck down" period, and it looks like it's holding. And with that, I'm hoping to breathe some life back into the Matukai. One way is...
