Here it is, dear readers! The spectacular Issue 5. The summer is only getting hotter, when it isn’t raining, and we’ve got the best reason to stay inside and enjoy that air conditioning. It’s the best serial fiction on the internet. The only thing more entertaining right now is the Olympics. I hope you saw Kevin Durant in that game against Serbia. Team USA Basketball is stacked for sure, but KD was on fire. Lebron was impressive too, and they are all talented to be sure. Swimming is always fun to watch, and the men’s relay last night was awesome. My favorite summer Olympic sport is Volleyball and there has been a lot of good Beach Volleyball coverage so far, though I haven’t caught any men’s games. The women are awesome, though. I cannot wait for team Volleyball, it’s as exciting as basketball to me. Surfing has been surprisingly fun to watch, even if I have to endure Colin Jost’s chinless mug.
Ok, I’m done, for now. You can definitely expect more Olympics commentary in the near future. Enjoy the issue and come back soon for Issue 6!

Maxx and the Guardians are stuck on a rock in a hard place. They are surrounded by Daemon, and none of them are the Daemon they are familiar with battling on Bludon. But rather than lose hope, Maxx and the Guardians power up and lean.
Like That (Âmuk 1st Tel.): “On the surface of the meteor, the winds are strong. It has weak gravity, but Maxx, the Guardians, and Zacchaeus, are able to control themselves in space and use the little gravity available to avoid flying from the large rock at breakneck speed. It is rare that Maxx sees Daemon that aren’t connected to Minyak, oozing, oily extensions of his form that corrupts their own. But this meteor is home to a colony of Daemon who are all distinct from Minyak, Maxx is staggered by the countless eyes on him like he is at the center of an arena.”

Zacchaeus and the Needy should be helpful on the Daemon asteroid. The Needy has already shown the extent of his awesome strength, surely he can protect the Guardians against this new threat.
Black&Blue (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus 1st Tel.): “The Needy is eager inside of Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus can feel him buzzing against the underlayer of his skin, warm from the excited action. Surrounded by the countless Daemon on the asteroid approaching Bludon, Zacchaeus knows that the Needy is the only chance for Maxx and the other Guardians to survive this encounter.”

Maria has decided on her next step. She is going into the Outerspace cosmos because staring at it from Theron has made her curious. But before she can do that, she has to stop a drunk god from destroying Theron.
Got the Juice (Wazad of Outer-Spacetime 1st Tel): “Maria had begun to chart the stars of Outer Spacetime, that were visible even under the light of the comet, on scrolls of paper that Wazad provided upon her request. Soon, Maria would leave Theron to see more of the cosmos of Outer Spacetime and encounter more of the beings of this existence.”

Metatron and Tracia have a long history together. In the present, they don’t seem to be together, but then Tracia arrives to Endla and they are physically in the same place, so you can say they’re together in that sense. But she arrives at an awkward time for Metatron and the Archangels Raphael.
B.A.S. (Tracia’s Greatest Hits): “Metatron was nervous. It had been a very long time since Tracia was on Endla and he could feel her approaching the outermost layer of the planet. He briefly wondered what would bring her to Endla, the conflict between the mmoatia and the Aerphim had been long settled and there was such a peace in the universe that beings from many planets could now be found on Endla.”

Jo and Lêgba join Xêvioso and Gu’s Smiting Game, and his Deck of Impending Doom looks a little light compared to his opponents. I wonder if it even stands a chance.
Not Like Us (Finding Lêgba 1st Tel.): “I would much rather just flip them and show you all what I’ve seen, but Jo is insisting on this game. It will demonstrate my point though, so I don’t mind. “

Node 2 Talj Junction Earth Year 2044

On Wiis, in the Talj Junction universe, Ali follows Whadgaf into the rainforest in search of strength greater than he knows. But the rainforests of Wiis can be very unforgiving.
Multiversal Family Tree : “Whadgaf Jiris hacks at the dense foliage of the jungle with a machete to uncover the trail to a base camp of the Weris Sharp deep in the rainforest. She wears guards on her arms and legs, and enough, but her wings and the light layer of feathers that grow at her back and shoulders protects her from the blood sucking insects, so they are exposed.”
