Fortuna Romano could easily divide her life into three time periods. This was because for each of those time periods she held a different name—rather, a different title. Her first title was ‘Trash.’ A name ceremoniously bestowed upon her by the store owners residing in the poorest district of the Twin Cities which had becomeContinue reading “8.[]: An Inheritor’s Avarice (Generosita)”

8.6: Atienna’s Warmth (Gelo)
Zatmeniye Caverns, Aquarius The storm continued to rage outside as they moved Kalama’s body away from the campsite. The wailing of Afu, the Piscese guard, as he was pried from Kalama’s body was something that Atienna wished to never hear again. It reminded her too much of her father’s wails on that night six yearsContinue reading “8.6: Atienna’s Warmth (Gelo)”
8.5: Jericho’s Reunion (Seperazione)
Prognoikos Aurora Reservoirs, Ophiuchus “These security checks are ridiculous. We’re Ophiuchian peacekeeping agents. We shouldn’t have to go through these things like these tourists here.” “Is it that you think you’re above all of these ‘tourists’, Talib? Do you think you’re above the security measures?” “See! That’s exactly how the Organization wants you to think.Continue reading “8.5: Jericho’s Reunion (Seperazione)”
8.4: Maria’s Capture (Fuga)
Hapaira, Pisces “We’ve been on this so-called hunt for over three days now, Capitana,” Morandi grumbled from where he sat at the foot of the steps. “This isn’t looking good. If the Campanas were to…” “Nonsense, my dear Morandi!” Maria laughed, wiggling her bare toes and feeling the smooth stone beneath her feet. She reachedContinue reading “8.4: Maria’s Capture (Fuga)”
8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)
Twin Cities, Gemini The train ride to the Twin Cities was uneventful. The passage required two stops to switch train cars. One stop was at a medium-sized town in Pisces, and the second was at an outpost on the border Leo shared with Gemini. Due to the sizable distance between northeast Gemini and southern Capricorn,Continue reading “8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)”
8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)
Sihyeon Villa, Sagittarius When Olive awoke on that cloudy afternoon, he knew that it was going to be a terrible day. There was a heaviness in his chest that squeezed tight—almost as if an anchor hooked onto his heart was dragging his entire body deeper, deeper down. With it weighing him down so heavily, theContinue reading “8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)”
8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)
Twin Cities, Gemini “Why aren’t you saying anything, huh?!” Thuds resounded through the near-empty casino. “You just said you were going to talk!” Another thud. “A minute ago!” Thud. “So why!” Thud, thud, thud. “Are you so damned quiet?” There was a monstrous roar. “Talk, dammit!” Whistling, Cadence watched as a man was sent flyingContinue reading “8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)”
7.[]: A Terrorist’s Hate (Amore)
Re-cap:
Omicron, a leader of the terrorist organization ELPIS, encountered Jericho in the Twin Cities of Gemini several months prior. Somewhere along the way, she also came across Usian and former peacekeeper Wtorek Izsak.
Now, as the dominoes begin to stack up in the city of sin, she—
7.6: Jericho’s Peace (Guerra)
Lepischau, Cancer “He’s going around back!” Jericho skidded to a halt as Talib’s voice echoed around the stucco alley walls. He glanced up and found a paper crane enveloped in dark blue light racing over his head. He chased it down the opposite end of the alley and into the backdoor of what appeared toContinue reading “7.6: Jericho’s Peace (Guerra)”
7.5: Atienna’s Journey (Soggiorno)
Zatmeniye Mountain Range, Aquarius “Saints! Stupid! V-ehicle!” Atienna peered over her book into the front seat of the v-ehicle. The driver’s seat was empty, but the seat beside it was occupied by a man with an unreadable expression. Unreadable, because his bald head was wrapped around numerous times with a colorful bright blue scarf andContinue reading “7.5: Atienna’s Journey (Soggiorno)”
