Well, I don't think this classifies as a "true" story, but more of a prologue. I have been wanting to write the reactions of some who know of the ancient battles for a long time now. This will probably be further expanded with a Pieces of Eight when Occam's Razar speaks with Ganymede.

Since the Dragons everyones remembers and mostly have written about are after the Saurian curse this should sew my "vision" to CoH furhter now. Razar has gone to lengths to correct the lies of Beowulf and his father. He admits what was written down was probably verbally passed down and changed to match the "new' form of Dragons.

I think this is another great addition to this short series.

I really like the implication that Crey knew about the Rikti prior to the invasion, and maybe had a hand in it?

And yet again this ties into the cannon built here, hinting that there is something building that the Gods have planned and kept in motion for eons, to prepare for a coming storm.

Nice job.

The fact that the "good" doctor almost spilled the beans as to the identity of the invaders pretty much confirms Crey knew about them.

Very cool, though. It would be a great springboard for a "conspiracy theory" type story.

If I remember my history correctly (or if t didn't change) Crey's Folly was named because it took the brunt of the attack. I am not aware of any storylines leading to Crey's involvement in any pre-invasion activities, becuase Razar is only 40.3.

IMHO since Crey seems to have gotten hit hard they were involved in some aspect. May they drew the attention of Rikti. We do learn Crey did have some Portal technology too. So I just tapped off that using the nearest conspiracy theory.

I was looking forward to the thurd CoH novel The Rikti War, to explain some of it, but since its been called off for the time being who knows. I am sure we could come up with somehting equally as cool.

So so late, and duely embarassed to be so.

Good story Ock. A plot driven by dialogue... something I find VERY difficult to do. Most certainly a nice addition to the Falling Sky set.

Well, even though it is nearly a year late...

I am finally getting time to actually go back and catch up at reading all the stories. This is a great story and made me very curious about this mysterious creature.

I, too, liked the insinuation that Crey had prior knowledge of the Rikti.

It definitely leaves a reader wanting to know more.

Alas, the third City of Heroes novel lay empty. Never to live in the annuals of time.

We may never know the "true" involvement with Crey.

Or maybe we already do?

No review is ever late. It arrives when it was meant to.

Thanks for taking the time to review, all comments are welcome.

I searched the art for a picture. This story is about Razar, right? Do you have any pictures online? Or did I just somehow miss them?

You picked a great series to start with Dee. Falling Sky has some great shorts in it. This joint project was kicked off by Fixit a while back (should really check out his aditions) and alot of people jumped on board including Tropic and PhoenixHawk (should read theirs too.... on second thought just read anything labeled Falling Sky.)

I wrote A Simple Ending over two years ago, maybe two and half now. I followed that with Stormy Knight Errant and Collusions of Grandeur. I think I then wrote Shades of Crey: Issue 1. I have actually started Issue 2, but it is incomplete. I have planned out up to 4, but don't know if they ever get finished. Some of my other stories actually have hints to the storyline.

Then came Not the Hero, which I plan to re-format, and I believe I had started Pieces of Eight by then. The latter can only be view by story, becuase all the individual stories do not show up under search by Author.

Then I wrote A Simple Discovery, and yes it is Occam's Razar.

The only picture I can think of right now is thie Shades of Crey poster. This actually has been updated I just need to send it in. I was able to make a better Protector uniform.

Oh, what the hell, here's the links for Pieces of Eight (CoH Flash Fiction (Recommended reading after everything else.))

Pieces of Eight: The Dammed

Pieces of Eight: The Results

Pieces of Eight: The Feeding

Pieces of Eight: A Simple Meeting

Pieces of Eight: Rescue Me

Pieces of Eight: The Calling

I have been meaning to post more pictures, maybe I'll use this as an excuse to dig some up.
