Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn The bells were ringing again far off in the distance. The chimes swelled in harmony alongside the ocean waves crashing against the rocky cliff faces just beneath her. In-between the beats of water and the tolling brass, the seagulls bellowed loudly. It was a wonderful, relaxing melody that caused her to driftContinue reading “18.2: Pirate, 0600 Rally”

18.⭑-1: Saint Candidate, ∞ Zugzwang
Flannery Caertas still remembered when absolute darkness was her friend. ‘Total blindness’ was what the doctors had called it. The condition had left a lot to her imagination. At the same time, it had a degree of certainty to it. Because she couldn’t see anything, what she defined in her mind was ‘reality.’ An all-powerfulContinue reading “18.⭑-1: Saint Candidate, ∞ Zugzwang”
17.?: 「 」, – – – – ??????
Shion Myosotis always had a troublesome relationship with her name. (Still did.) Well, correction: she hated her name. Because while her given name was in the language of the Hoshi Clan, her surname was so Ophiuchian. Everyone stared whenever her name was read off for attendance in school. “Will she be on our side?” herContinue reading “17.?: 「 」, – – – – ??????”
17.4: Prince, 1700 No Longer Human
When Olive cracked open his eyes, he was met with gentle, pale rose light. A dimly lit ceiling hung low over his face, and something soft was cushioning the back of his head. It took him a moment to realize his head was resting on Trystan’s lap, and that the light was emitting from aContinue reading “17.4: Prince, 1700 No Longer Human”
16.[]: Peacekeepers, 0900 Sehnsucht
Peacekeeper Alice Kingsley still remembered the sound of the conducting grenades pounding above her head as she’d huddled between her parents in the shelter. The sound had been a deep bellow—always proceeding a high-pitched whine and a brief skip of silence. She had known at the time that there had been nothing to be afraidContinue reading “16.[]: Peacekeepers, 0900 Sehnsucht”
15.[]: Peacekeepers, 0700 Verschlimmbesserung
Ariesian knight-turned-Ophiuchian peacekeeper Gabrielle Law felt like she was losing her minions one-by-one. She’d lost her first, oldest, and best to a body-hopping, ancient terrorist. And now she’d lost the newest to—as Elizabeta Wtorek had said back in the Medical Department—‘fatigue’ and ‘exhaustion’ which had led to an ‘unconscious state’ for an ‘indeterminable amount ofContinue reading “15.[]: Peacekeepers, 0700 Verschlimmbesserung”

12.1: A Duet for a Prince & Peacekeeper
Serpens Establishment, Ophiuchus Jericho’s ears rang with the wail of sirens as he picked himself and his suitcase off the white tile floor. It was an odd sensation. He knew where he had landed before he had even taken a survey of his surroundings. And that was because— Jericho turned his head. Olivier Chance staredContinue reading “12.1: A Duet for a Prince & Peacekeeper”
10.[]-1: A Brother’s Greed (Carità)
( ) The Foxman Family had its founding roots in an insignificant town in Aries. A place not even worth naming. Better to bury it. Because at the time it hadn’t been so much of a ‘Family’ as it was a ‘family.’ Frankly, in Allen’s opinion, it hadn’t been much of a family either. TheContinue reading “10.[]-1: A Brother’s Greed (Carità)”
9.1-1: Cadence’s Stumble (Caduta)
( ) The light that swallowed them all up was something out of a nightmare. No, that wasn’t right. Cadence was sure Atienna had said one time that nightmares and dreams were made of things taken from the real world—maybe a conversation you had, a book you read, or something you saw briefly while passingContinue reading “9.1-1: Cadence’s Stumble (Caduta)”
