Hey guys this is the author here and I have some exiting news.
I'VE FINALLY DONE IT!

'Nothing is impossible, just improbable.'
That's the concept that defines reality in any place and at any time.
This one starts in a realm that is beyond time and space, between existence and nothingness, far removed from heaven and hell, but at the same time it's as closest to those realms as such a thing is possible.
This place is not on any map, nor is there any way to make one, yet it is not a hidden realm.
It cannot be found if you look for it, but you enter and leave as often as once a day and traversing it is impossible with effort but comes natural with rest, and sometimes you remember it and sometimes you don't, but you where there, especially when you weren't.

*Excerpt, from the works of Grand Scholar, and The Great War Expert Djanus Todomari from the Imperium Archives*
On Caliupus 27th, Imperial year 1898, Federal year 3941, and Republican year 953 on the small home world of the Tolstoy sector, a Federal fleet clashed for less than 3 hours with an Imperial one. This small battle which was the first shot in The Great War was situated above a place called Graperust Manor, owned by a Novo Albetan lawyer called William Murasaki Kuckluck.
After the Battle of Graperust, mister Murasaki said that he had enough of the whole affair and decided to move his family 560.000 light-years to a town called New Hope within the Tremera system, to a house called Woodgrom Courthouse with the intention of avoiding the war in its entirety.
Years later the commanders of the belligerent forces came to that very same courthouse to sign the ending of all hostilities. So when it was over Mr Murasaki could boast that the war began on his front lawn porch and ended in his backyard gazebo.

Extract from the book "Confessions, an Admirals tale volume I"
For the past three years I had been a sailor in the Imperial navy, since that was what the state wanted of its citizens whether they were willing or not and despite my titanic efforts to avoid the whole war, fate had other plans for me!
Before the war I was running a medical transport business and one day my ship was boarded by a pirate raiding party from the Republic and like any sane sentient with half a brain I immediately surrendered and asked for parole, which was a fancy way of saying: 'If I do not fight you and surrender all my goods, you will do me the honor of not introducing my brain to your axe'.

As they looted our ship taking anything they could: pills, syrup, cushions, fabric and fabric samples for footstools (seriously what kind of pirates steals stool samples?) at one point they opened the crates that contained bottles filled with medicinal alcohol.

"The enemy is using this whole neighborhood as a fortress, why haven't we been given any siege equipment, like chariots, or artillery to level this place?"
"Well HQ probably doesn't want to admit that the enemy has such a strong position within this city." the other private of the squad who was using a different fragment of the destroyed rooftop as an improvised chair replied.
"Then don't admit it and give us the kriffing heavy equipment….

...
…."But ma'am that would make us hypocrites!" the trooper at the table said in mock outrage at the idea.
"Imperials being hypocrites, what a shocker!" the corporal added and another round of laughter came from the squad...
...
...
The attacker moved fast, slashing away at the group of soldiers who did not have time to properly react to the situation.
It took only a few seconds and the squad was all dead.
Who where they, what was their life's story?
Would anyone remember them, cherish their memory? That was something that war didn't know, nor did it cared, thus there they rested as the battle continued all around the district, in the name of war, of this insatiable force that looked on with indifference to the lives that were given to it as tribute for each moment of its existence, and only continuing to rage on as more meat was put in the grinder…

"Why the hell should we listen to you!?"Tubarin asked suspiciously.
"You should listen since I'm the one who singlehandedly slaughtered a force you couldn't even scratch, and If you continue on your current path you will meet your end in annihilation, but if you do as I say you will win, it's that simple, also you now have three minutes." the voice replied.

Who and what where these beings before him you may ask?
"My Lord, may I formally introduce ourselves, I am Commodore Third Class Horatia TJ Jackson of the first division, these are viscount Antonius de Palamese commander of the second, Valyria Treakle third division, Duke Oscar von Raqianus fourth division, Tarkan el Balamarus fifth division, Prince Georgaian vi Alontaire sixth division, Prince Dalius Augustus seventh division and finally Colonel Werner von Braun, who commands the Black Berets assigned to our fleet." the giant spider being known as Horatia said.
Metternich smiled, and gestured to the eagle like being and the magic wielding serpent behind him and said:
"A pleasure to meet you all, you already know Adrian my Knight, the one behind him is Butz my personal aide."
Who where these creatures, you may ask? Why they where his new fleet of course!

….As they were pushed back, the Federals noticed a shadow behind them, the retreating forces looked at it and saw the hand of God, or rather one of his servants in the form of a priest.
"Evil is amongst us! Stand back, this calls for divine intervention!" The priest said and ran in front of the nearest Imperial squadron.….

…. their fire blazed like an inferno, the wind and water attacks grew in size and shape into vortexes around their weapons, that spun so fast they could cut through our ranks like they were paper, the earth troops weapons grew so much in size and sharpness that they seemed more like the claws and teeth of some ancient monster, than that of mere mortals…...

… I closed my eyes for a few moments and when I opened them what I saw before myself was beyond description, colors flashed and faded, matter appeared and disappeared, before me there was a great void which appeared to be infinity itself, and a great mass which seemed thicker than the black eternity of space, and more thin than the spring sunlight of the most sacred planet.
But the most strangest and indescribable thing of all was that the sight before me seemed not to change or even remain constant, what it was I could not guess, all I know that it was something I was not suppose to see.
"It is existence." a voice said behind me….

…"No more hiding, no more running away! Do you hear me enemies of the Empire, this is the beginning of our counterattack!"…

….."Turn back now; less all nightmares know your name!"…..
