Let me introduce you to Elizabeth Connors, a new OC of mine, which is not Winx related. And if you didn’t knew i loved red Hair, you might do know😂 I wanted to do something Scifi/Futuristic for a while now and now finally i can introduce you to my first Character. There is a whole story behind it that is brewing in my Head and i will slowly but surely introduce you to it.

I am also really liking the more sketchy style and even though i first went into a completely different direction, i really love how she turned out.

So Elizabeth, Liz, Lizzy or Beth, was a Commander of Genesis, which is The Biggest Galactic Superpower, Consisting of Humans and various Extraterrestrials and AI‘s.

Genesis is in a Constant War with another Alien Faction(i have no name for them yet, my Brain didn’t provide me with an acceptable name yet😂)

I wont spoil anything else yet.

The Therequin have been at war with Genesis for many years after refusing to join the Coalition. They accuse Genesis, which mostly consist of Humans, of exploiting other Alien races, destroying their planets and perform cruel experiments on them. Genesis meanwhile accuses them of being Violent beasts that attack everyone on sight.

Therequin are known for their Regenerative bodies and Combat Skills. The Females are Tall with Long limbs and possess great agility while the males are more Brute like and possess great body strength.

Zori is a Talented Fighter but can also be quite clumsy and is a bit of a Dork. She loves Food and if there is anything to eat nearby, she is not herself anymore She is the Princess of Xulan, the Therequins Homeplanet.

I plan on coupling her with Liz.

Im so proud of how she turned out and I love her so much, She my baby now

Meet Jax, the Third Character of my new Story. He is the owner of the Universes most popular Nightclub „The Queens Dungeon“. He uses the Nightclub for his Illegal Trades with Weapons and other Goods that he sells on the Blackmarket. Since the Nightclub is constantly moving through space and shielded by very advanced Technology, Geneis has a Hard time tracking it down.

Jax is however not a Bad person or Alien or…..you now what i mean😂, he lost his family in an attack on his home planet, Genesis was involved in. He rebelled against Genesis and a lot of the illegal Goods he obtains are given to those who are defenseless and have been exiled by Genesis.

Jax is a mixture of a cunning businessman and a charming Diva , he joins Lizzy and Zoris Group and provides them with Weapons for their cause, seeing this as a chance to get revenge for his family.

Chapter 8 “Saviour”

The shadow slowly approached the woman laying on the floor, her body trembled in shock, and she could not prevent the uncontrolled sobs from escaping her lips. She breathed heavily through her nose as the figure knelt beside her, the sound of his steady breathing reaching her ears as he bent over her. Mara closed her eyes, pressing the eyelids together tightly in fear of another assault on her exposed body. But none of it happened, instead she was surprised by a sudden feeling of relief as the shackles around her wrists and ankles where ripped open and fell to the ground with a loud rattling sound that made her wince. Now that her extremities were freed, she curled up into a ball and wrapped her arms around her upper body to cover her exposed chest.

The rustling sound of fabric reached her ears and shortly after she felt how something warm was wrapped around her body. Next thing she knew were the pair of strong arms that were wrapped around her body and lifted her into the air, carrying her out of the dark room that she never wished to set a foot in again after this day. Mara could not see the face of the being that carried her through the hallways of the castle, as they were drowned in darkness. Whether he was her Saviour, or just another cruel soul that wanted to take advantage of her weakened state, she couldn’t tell. But no matter the case, she was to weak to fight, her legs felt like Jello and her ind was still in a state of shock.

She was carried through the hallways for quite some time, none of the corridors that they crossed seemed familiar to her. She had never been this deep beneath the Castle and the further her rescuer, or whatever he was. Walked, the colder and darker it seemed to get. Eventually he stopped, in front of them a huge wooden double door engraved with strange symbols that she had never seen before. With a creaking sound it swung open, revealing a dimly lit room. He stepped inside and walked towards a divan chair, which was lined with fabric of a crimson color, and gently placed her down onto the seat. Mara immediately grabbed the blanket that was wrapped around her body and pulled it up under her chin , only her head remaining visible. Her gaze slowly wandered over towards the figure, that walked towards a small alcove on the other side of the room. It was lined with large wooden shelves that kept glass bottles of different shapes and sizes that where filled with strange looking liquids. Another Shelve was filled with glass jars that stored all kinds of dried herbs, plants and mushrooms. A stone hearth stood in between the shelves, a fire crackling inside of it, heating up the iron pot that hung above it.

She observed him as he grabbed a few of the jars from the shelves and placed them on a small counter that stood in the center of the alcove. His claws reached inside the containers, pulling out a few of the dried ingredients before he placed them inside of a small bag of thin fabric, that he tied up with a piece of twine. With the help of the wooden ladle he poured some of the boiling water from the kettle inside of a small wooden cup and placed the bag of herbs inside of it.

“Who are you?” realizing to late, that she had actually spoken the words out loud, she covered her mouth with her hands, her fingers still clinging to the blanket, pulling it over her mouth. Her eyes went wide with fear as he approacher her again, his long robe dragging over the floor behind him, the steaming cup of Tea sitting between his claws.

He was one of them, a Skeksis, which she could tell by the long snout protruding from his face, but he looked so much different than the others of his Kin. He was tall, taller then all of the other Skeksis in the Castle and his body wasn’t bony or lanky like theirs. He had broad shoulders and his chest was muscular as she could see through the fabric of his robes that where clinging tightly to his torso. His clothes mostly consisted of white and blue shades with golden accents, which where quite unusual colors for a Skeks. His face too wasn’t as bony, his facial features smoother, making him look less morose and agonizing, almost benevolent. A full set of grayish-silver hair decorated his head, and was tied together in a loose braid, that ran down his back. But it where his bright turquoise eyes that caught her attention the most, they reminded her of the waters of the silver sea or the sky on a warm summer day. He was the most beautiful Skeksis she had ever seen.

He came to a halt in front of the divan, his claws reaching out to her, which made her wince and push herself against the Sofa, trying to get away from him. “Please don’t hurt me.” These words made him stop, slowly pulling back his arm “I wont” he assured her, his voice deep, melodic almost, not as raspy and shrill like those from the others of his kin. He placed the cup of tea on a small table next to the divan, knowing very well that she carefully observed each of his steps. “You should drink this, it will help you calm your nerves.”

“Who are you?” she asked the Skeks again, who was again wandering towards the alcove. Her voice was shaky and barely above a whisper, but it was loud enough to reach his ears.

He lightly turned his head in her direction “The ones I used to call my brethren gave me the name SkekVazur, the Alchemist, but I prefer to just be called Vazur now”

She swallowed hard before forming her next question “What are you doing with me now?”

Upon hearing the fear in her voice he turned towards her completely, his face showing no trace of evil or mischief “Nothing, I just wanted to bring you to a place where they will not find you, you are safe here, but you are free to leave, if that is your wish.”

Her gaze wandered over to the wooden door, what would happen if she left the room? A wave of different emotions ran through her mind, each connected to the many thoughts that did not allow her to calm down. SkekUng wouldn't stay unconscious forever. Maybe he would start searching for her, try to finish what he had started in the cold dusty chamber. Maybe he would kill her so the others would never hear of his assault on her. She wasn’t safe in the Castle anymore, not with SkekUng as the Emperor. But would she be save anywhere else? What would SkekEkt do if she would never return to her? She hadn’t seen her foster mother a lot after she had moved to the lower chambers of the Castle, but she had still visited her as often as her duties allowed her to, gifting some new gowns and Jewelry to Mara. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath in, one of her arms came crawling out from underneath the blanket and grabbed the cup of tea that still sat on the wooden table. She brought it to her nose and immediately her nostrils were filled with the lovely floral scent of the concoction. Her lips closed around the rim of the cup, leaving a wide enough gab for her to let the liquid flood her mouth and play around with her taste buds. Valerian Root, Honeymoss and Hogweed, all these Aromas mixed together into a symphony of flavors.

She immediately felt the soothing effect of the brew, her thoughts calmed down and her body stopped shacking. When she opened her eyes, Vazur stood in front of her, a folded piece of clothing in his hand “Here, you can put these on” he said and turned around, giving her some privacy while she dressed in the robes, that were way to big for her, but they would have to do for now. “I have never seen you in the Castle before, why are you not with the others Skeksis?”

His brows furrowed slightly “I….left them a long time ago, I do not exactly feel of them as my brethren anymore?”

She draped the robes over her body and sat down on the chair again, taking another sip of the tea “I can tell that you are not like them, there is something different about you, who are you”

“I told you already, my name Is Vazur.”

A weak smile formed on her lips “You told me your name, but that still does not tell me who you are, please, I only want to know who my Saviour is.”

A soft sigh escaped his lips before he turned around and sat on the far end of the Divan “Do you now the story about the Urskeks and the Great Division?

She nodded in response, SkekEkt had told her everything about it, The UrSkeks were beings that had been banished from their home planet and came to Thra, they sought to purify themselves to get back to their Home world through the Crystal during the second great conjunction. But instead of being sent home, each of the fallen UrSkeks were inadvertently divided into two separate beings, the Evil and violent Skeksis, and the gentle and contemplative UrRu. They were however still connected to one another, if one part of them died, the other would do so as well.

“Good” he said and continued to explain “I was there too, during the Great division, but something went wrong, the personalities of me and my UrRu self got exchanged, UrJellak got the evil and destructive soul that was originally intended for me, while his was planted inside my body. The others living in the Castle soon realized that I was different, where they sought immortality and power, I searched for answers, answers that would allow us to return to our former selves. But they would not listen to me, their greed turned them into incorrigible beings, lead by the fear of death. And even though they keep the Crystal of truth as their slave, it is them that have become slaves to the Crystal.”

As he continued to tell her the story she realized how few she actually new about the Skeksis, there were a lot of things she didn’t new about them and their plans for Thra. But then it did not really surprise her, as she was never allowed to leave the Castle. All that she knew about the outside world she had heard from the stories SkekEkt had told her when she had been a child but she had never seen it herself. They had always told her that they were trying to rule over it to bring back order and justice but their real intentions were to drain the Essence of the Gelflings to turn themselves immortal and now there were only two Gelflings left, fighting for existence. She didn't know how to feel about all these newly achieved information, it was to much to process for one day, especially after what happened earlier. But sadly the bad news wouldn’t stop there.

“What happened then? Why are you down here?” Mara asked.

“They first started their unethical experiments on me, trying to exchange the soul of me and my UrRu self but things didn’t go as planned so they banished me into the lower floors of the Castle to prevent me from disturbing their experiments and crossing their plans. That's when I realized that hope for them is lost, they wont turn from their plans, even if it means to banish the ones of their own kind.”

Mara sighed, her heart felt Heavy and her soul crushed “I cant imagine they are this cruel, they experimented on me as well, but it was just to save my life, I would be dead if it wasn’t for them, well some of them.”

A small chuckle escaped Vazur’s snout “Do you really think they tried to keep you alive because they care for you? They saved you so that your powers could serve them in the future, you are nothing but a tool to them, a tool that they used to hunt down the Gelflings and bring the Garthim to life, it is the Darkening that has destroyed a lot of Thra, and will still continue to do so as long as the Skeksis keep misusing the Crystal.”

Was that true, this they really use her own powers without her consent? Did SkekEkt knew about this? Had she lied to her all these years? No this couldn't be, it couldn't it just…

“Do you want to see it?”

His deep voice ripped her from her thoughts “What?”

“Do you wish to see the outside, see for yourself what the Darkening has caused?” for a moment she thought he had ost his patience with her, bot he stayed calm and collected, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Yes”

Chapter 5 “Audience”

Her eyes opened, staring at the all to familiar ceiling above, she did not remember how she had gotten back to her Chambers, or why she felt so weak. She did not feel any pain or discomfort, just a growing exhaustion that spread through her limbs, in her head a blurry image started to form. Yellow eyes staring down at her, crooked teeth bared and dark tongues wiggling around as loud laughter filled her ears. Screams of Terror, SkekNa on the floor, his eyeball dangling loosely from his socket and his lifeless hand laying on the cold stone floor in front of him. And thats when she remembered what they had done, what she had done.

She lifted her hands to her face, looking and the blackened skin of her fingers, they where furrowed by gossamer threads of purple light that pulsated in the Rhythm of the blood shooting through her veins. She did not understand what she had done, or how she had done it, only that her soul was flooded with anger and fury in that very moment SkekNa drew back the whip.

The sound of the door being slammed open startled her and made her sit up in her bed. SkekEkt rushed towards her, all kinds of emotions written on her face. She had heard about what the General and the Slave master had done to Mara, and what Mara had done to the Slave Master. She secretly wished that SkekNa had just died so that there was one less problem for her to worry about, but seeing him in his wounded state was enough to please her satisfaction for the moment. But more than her hatred towards the two of her Kin, she felt anger towards the girl who had willingly disobeyed her commands.

“Mara, what were you thinking? I told you to stay in your room or near SkekSil? I have done so much for you, I raised you, gave you all those beautiful clothes and Jewelry, if it wasn't for me, the others would have already killed you by now. Is this how you thank me, by disobeying my orders?

Mara dropped her Head in shame, The Ornamentalist was right, if she had listened to her, this whole situation could have been avoided. “I’m sorry mother, I promise it wont happen again.”

“No it wont” the Skeks replied with no emotion her voice

Mara stared at her, a questioning look on her face “what do you mean”

SkekEkt sighed “I will lock this room from know on, you wont be able to leave this room unless I say so. We also locked the shaft, you wont escape your room through it any longer.” With nothing more to say the Skeks turned around and left the room, turning here words into action as she locked the door.

However the Loneliness she felt didn’t last long as she was summoned to the Throne room by the Emperor. And this audience would change her life forever.

“Mara step forward” the emperor ordered, his voice deep and stern. The Girl did as she was told, the Skeksis that had gathered in the Throne room staring at her small frame as she approached SkekSo. Amongst them stood the Slave master, his right eye cover with a patch and his missing hand replaced by a silver metal hook. An evil grin rested on his face as he knew what was about to happen, and it brought great satisfaction upon him. The girl came to a halt in front of the Emperor, who eyed the girl from top to bottom, coming to a rest at her hands. And that's when SkekEkt too knew what the Emperor was up to, and she did not like it one bit ´.

“Mara, I have summoned you to discuss a topic of utmost importance” he paused for a bit and got up from his throne, walking in circles around the girl, knowing very well that it made her nervous. “On the day you appeared in the Crystal Chamber, SkekSil told me that you could be of use to us in the future. And it seems that he was right, this morning, a lot of us witnessed the power that you wield, and this can be in fact useful in our fight against the Gelfling Resistance and our Quest for immortality. But we have to know more about it in order for it to be of use to us. SkekEkt has done use a great favor by raising you, but today you will be given into the care of SkekTek. He is allowed to do everything necessary to find more about your powers, EVERYTHING”

A gasp left her lungs as she heard the emperors words, was this supposed to be some kind of punishment? “No, you cant do this, she is mine, she is mine!” came the screaming response from the Ornamentalist her voice lined with anger.

“Are you questioning my orders?” He spat at her, his voice more threatening than usual.

She hesitated for a moment, thinking about her choice of words carefully, and eventually dropped her head, knowing very well that disagreeing with SkekSo would be mercilessly punished. “No Emperor” she said and turned around just a second later to leave the throne room she took one last look back at the child standing in the center of the room, before she slammed the door shut behind her.

Shortly after Mara was relocated into a different chamber on the same floor as SkekTek’s Laboratory. It didn't even resemble her old chamber in the slightest, it was cold and wet, the ceiling was covered in cobwebs and the furniture was lined with a thick layer of dust. It was clear that this room hadn't been used by anyone in quite a while.

“So, I hope you have settled in properly, I suggest we get down to business right away, please follow me” The scientist said and turned around, walking in the direction of his lab, where she would spend a lot of her time in the future.

Chapter 4 “Wounds”

Anger was written on his face as he stared into her purple eyes, he could see the terror inside them as she looked up to him, knowing very well who stood in front of her. He felt her fear as she tried to push herself away from him, her small body crawling backwards until she ran into something hard. She looked up, another Skeks staring right into her face, his snout formed into a mischievous grin that bared his crooked teeth.

Suddenly the two Skeksis began to laugh from the top of their lungs, their dark slimy tongues dancing around as their muzzles burst open. It looked almost as if they were trying to eat her, like wild animals that had surrounded their pray. Their shrill screams echoed through the Banquet hall, and soon the other Skeksis that we’re sitting at the tables joined in, filling the room with a cacophony of laughter that rung in her ears. It almost felt as if her tympanum was about to explode from the wall of sounds that surrounded her, she protectively held her hands to her ears to dim the noise, which caused the Skeksis to laugh even louder.

Eventually, the laughter fell silent, the next thing she felt was the bony hand that wrapped around her wrist and yanked her of the ground. Now her tiny frame was dangling in the air, her feet frantically kicking at the creature that held her. His eyes again met hers “ look what we have here? A pesky little insect pays us a visit. I thought after our last meeting you would think twice before crossing our paths. But here you are, falling through the ceiling. If I had known you would be so eager to meet us again, I would have payed you a visit in your chambers”

A wave of fear rushed over her as she thought about what happened the last time she had run into the group of Skeksis in front of her. The Scars were still visible on her palish gray skin and they would forever stay as a reminder to her that she was not welcomed by all of the vultures in the Castle.

When the girl offered him no response he tightened his grip around the tiny wrist, which made the child scream out in pain. “To bad no one is around to save you this time, this will be a lot of fun don’t you agree SkekUng?” he asked the Skeks in front of him. The General just grinned mischievously, which was all the response the slave master needed.

Suddenly a horrifying scream was forced out of her lungs as a wave of pain rushed through her back. The Generals claws pierced the flesh on her back, making the blood spill and staining her gown a crimson color. Tears formed in her eyes and left behind wet trails as they ran down her face before they fell onto the cold marbled stone floor. What hat she done to them that made them hate her so much, was this how her life in the Castle would look like? Did they really need a reason? Maybe they really did this out of pure enjoyment? Whatever the reason was, she would just have to cope with it, there was nothing she could do, and there was no one around who would help her. SkekEkt had left the Castle with SkekZok the Ritualmaster, and the Chamberlain was still searching for her in his Room where she had left him. SkekEkt had told her not to leave her room and stay at the Chamberlains side. She should have listened, now she would pay the price for her disobedience.

She was forced back to reality when SkekNa threw her to the ground, her body landing in the pile of debris that had previously been the ceiling. She screamed again as her wounded back crashed onto the floor, causing a sharp pain to radiate through her body.

SkekNa grabbed one of the whips that were attached to his Garments, he laughed as he lunged out, and seconds after the whip crashed onto her skin, making her shout in agony. More hits followed, each of them tearing the skin on her legs open, she frantically tried to kick at SkekNa, but the pain was to strong and her legs to weak. Her eyes were burning and the tears blurred her vision, her body was trembling, but this time not in fear. It was anger that slowly overcame her, anger at the two Skeksis that tortured her, anger at the Skeksis who stood nearby and watched, anger at herself for not listening to her mothers advice.

SkekNa was about to whip her again, when suddenly her hands began to glow in a dark purple light. She grabbed the end of the whip, holding it tight in her fist, a ball of dark energy shot out of her hand and collided with the Skeks, who screamed in shock as he was sent flying through the room. The other Skeksis gasped in shock at what their eyes just witnessed, their snouts where widely opened and their eyes fixed on the girl laying on the ground.

The Slave Master shouted in pain, blood seeped from his socket where his right eye had sat just a few seconds ago. His hand lay on the ground in front of Mara, the lifeless fist still wrapped around the whip. Behind her she heard a loud growl, as the General unsheathed his sword and stormed at her, the blade pointed directly at her heart.

“ENOUGH” a deep voice rang through the hall, accompanied by the sound of the doors being swung open with brutal force. Everyone, including the general, stopped dead in their tracks, the blade just a few inches away from piercing her Heart. SkekSo entered the room with his scepter in hand, he came to a halt in front of the girl, who was still laying on the ground, her body covered in her own blood. Her wounds however were gone, there was no trace of the previous torturing left on her fragile looking body. Only her exhaustion reminded her of what had happened.

The Emperor had witnessed what she had done to SkekNa, and he knew exactly what these peculiar powers were. He had seen it before, in the Catacombs beneath the Castle and on the Battlefield in Stone-In-the-Woods, when that little Grottan Gelfling had redirected it at them. He was carrying it around with him this very moment, absorbed by a little crystal that sat inside his Scepter. The Darkening.

“Tell SkekTek to provide some Essence to SkekNa, it will heal his wounds. And in the future, I will not tolerate it if you harm her again”

SkekUng looked at him in shock “But Emperor, she is just a vermin, she is non of us, she does not belong here, she……”

“Did I make myself clear?” the Emperor shouted in fury, at the disobedient General.

SkekUng dropped his head, not in shame, but to keep himself from starting a heated argument, that could cause his inevitable death. “Yes Emperor”

“Good” SkekSo spat as he turned around to leave the room. A few minutes ago he would have agreed with the general, but after Mara’s outbreak, his plans for her had changed. She could be of great use for them in the future.
