Hapaira, Pisces Maria waved a hand in front of the girl’s face. The girl continued staring blankly forward, unflinching. “Wow,” Maria exclaimed, “you really are blind!” “Capitana!” Morandi sighed. “How many times are you going to do this?” Maria and the entirety of her crew had stolen away into one of the buildings deeper intoContinue reading “9.4: Maria’s Tale (Storia)”

9.2: Olive’s Naivety (Sapienza)
Bodhi Temple, Sagittarius As the air v-tram descended through the clouds, the extravagance of Bodhi Temple’s square arches became revealed. They rose tall and black against the brown peaks of the mountains and stood over a large stone path that wound up the mountainside. At the end of the stone path was a large brassContinue reading “9.2: Olive’s Naivety (Sapienza)”
9.1-2: Cadence’s Love (Desiderio)
Twin Cities, Gemini When Cadence stepped out from the portal, she knew she was back on the streets of the Twin Cities. After all, she could taste both the salt from the nearby seaports and the soot from the nearby conductor manufacturing plant. Instead of spitting as she normally would at the flavor, she embracedContinue reading “9.1-2: Cadence’s Love (Desiderio)”
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)”
8.4: 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)”
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)”
7.1: Olive’s Bravery (Codardia)
Thousand Name City, Sagittarius “Chance, the minutes from last week’s meeting.” This was pointless. “Chance, if we don’t clarify what topics were discussed last week then this meeting and subsequent meetings will be meaningless. We need to understand what every person has been doing and what we will be doing in order to not interfereContinue reading “7.1: Olive’s Bravery (Codardia)”
