ORIGIN

Happy (Late) Anniversary, Origin!

It's been a few months since we last had an OTM, but nonetheless, we went for it! Please congratulate Gadanai as our CoTM and Cure x Remedy as our PoTM. As far as Thread of the Month is concerned, When Giants Clash takes the cake! Lastly, but most certainly not least(ly), we have Moonlit Dream as our MoTM!



Now, you're wondering who wins this month's Mutation Slot drawing? Well, that would be Almighty.


...then we must have an event, right? Alright, you've got us. But what could it be? What event could be good enough to celebrate Origin's anniversary, albeit late? Staff have come up with an idea that we think all of you will like. A raffle! If you'd like details, you best check it out HERE SOON.! The Raffle is still under way of being constructed properly. Please bare with us as we work out the kinks.

... Briar as a new member of the staff team here on Origin! As of right now, she will be just moderators and help with keeping the Magicka Market and Update Me! threads updated and everything running smoothly. Maybe she'll even join the GM squad in time. Please give them a warm welcome and be very patient with them if they make a mistake.


As usual, we'd like to remind you guys about a few things...

The Cave Report

Pitter-patter of little paws
Ah, what can be better than the sound of paw steps that belong to newly born gemlings. Proud mothers' Destiny and Fira finally get to meet their little babies for the first time ever and couldn't be happier! Origin has a lot in store for these freshly born children. Let's hope it's for the best.

When Giants Clash
Deep in the woods of Eridanus a battle has ensued! Gadanai, a member of the Merry Men, had felt great need to attack none other that Atsila. The fight was intense and ultimately left the Guardian member Atsila wounded and unable to move. With Gadanai's victory the elephant left Atsila to fend for himself to hopefully fall victim to his wounds, but it appears other members of the Guardian's have come running to his aid! Keep an eye out and see if the Guardian's will be able to successfully help their comrade out of this horror.

All Lost in Despair
Many unfortunate events have led up to this moment. Makyna, once former member of the Maji Walezi, has discovered that most of her family seems to be missing. In her despair Makyna flees to Eridanus unsure of what to do with herself. It is in this moment that she stumbles upon an old friend. At least, someone she had thought was her friend. The she-wolf, Arkrael, had fallen ill to a sickness. A madness that had consumed her very mind. Arkrael attacked Makyna assuming she was someone else and in Makyna's current state of mind the lioness fought back with no remorse. In the end, it was Makyna who was left standing...and fleeing the scene just as Arkrael's child came running to his mother who was quickly wrapped up into her chrysalis.



If something interesting is happening in your thread, send a PM to the Origin Cave account or alert the staff in the cbox. We'd love to cover it in the current or next issue of The Cave Report!

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.

"Speech"
'Thoughts'

Amazingly (and not without a thrill of surprise and delight), Cure's voice rang clearly in her head, despite the distance between them. Remedy stifled a laugh, earlier annoyance forgotten, distracted by that addiction yet again.


She noted with vague disinterest that he hadn't responded to her questioning. She squinted down at him, noticed the loll of his head, the shallow breathing.


The hybrid huffed lightly and pushed off of the rock...

...landing beside his unconscious body just as the rock she'd been standing on toppled backwards with a crunch and groan. It fell away from them, thanks to her push, but it clattered with all the roaring of thunder and she winced, chest tightening with instinctive panic before everything settled once again.


She sounded far too amused in her own head over something so dangerous. Her attentions turned back to the slumbering dumbass at her feet, though. Had he woken from the noise? She prodded at his ribs with an immodest talon.

"Hey, fluffy, wake up. I'm talkin' to you."
