Olive felt like he’d been picked up by a whirlwind, tossed around in the air for the better part of a week, and then gently placed back down onto the ground as if all was in order. Why? Because everything fell into place the next couple of weeks after the Watch’s attack so perfectly thatContinue reading “6b: Crimson Volition”

6a: Chance Ignition
New Ram City, Aries Run and hide, Olive thought—that was what Werner said right after admitting he knew of the secret Capricornian organization behind the assassination attempt. Ten out of ten. Still, there had been regret in the man’s eyes and guilt too. And… It was weird feeling concern coming from that man. A CapricornianContinue reading “6a: Chance Ignition”
5.5: Imamu Cultivar
The Great Tree, Virgo It was clear to Atienna now. After witnessing the events that had unfolded for Olive, Cadence, Werner, and Maria, it was perfectly clear. Maria was right. There was no time for hesitation. Turning away from the Great Tree that illuminated everything in sight, she turned toward the darkness of the treesContinue reading “5.5: Imamu Cultivar”
5.1: Chance Rejection
New Ram City, Aries Olive’s walk back to the royal palace was oddly filled with thoughts of Maria. He could only faintly see her in his mind’s eye. In a dark and dim cell with hands cuffed in chains, Maria sat without a smile. The very sight of her was unnerving. Betrayal must hurt. WhenContinue reading “5.1: Chance Rejection”
4.5: Imamu Aeriation
Imamu Land, Virgo After her confrontation with Bachiru, Atienna had headed to the Night Circle. Doused in paint, she’d leapt into the ring without thought and faced the opponent she’d fought only days earlier. The man with painted tears. As soon as he stepped into the ring, he’d launched himself at her. She dodged toContinue reading “4.5: Imamu Aeriation”
4.1: Chance Direction
New Ram City, Aries “Good morning!” Olive snapped up in bed, heart thundering as his eyes darted around the room. Sunlight was just beginning to spill onto his carpet from the window, and his bird chirped its morning song at the foot of his bed. Damn Maria. Thirty percent whatever. Olive fell back and closedContinue reading “4.1: Chance Direction”
3.[]: Convergence
It hurt. Saints. It hurt. Even after the medical Conductors had come and gone saying that all was in order, it still hurt. Even after they had informed Olive of what had occurred—that he had fainted in the bathroom, that Trystan had been called in for questioning after carrying him to his room, that heContinue reading “3.[]: Convergence”
3.5: Imamu Snap
Imamu Estate, Virgo “Can you hear it? The pulse of syzygy?” Atienna stopped and turned. There was nothing behind her. Only the long, familiar stretch of green walls she had known her whole life. What an unpleasant thought. Recently they had been occurring more often. She looked away. “What is it, Atienna?” Safiyah was givingContinue reading “3.5: Imamu Snap”
3.1: Chance Detection
New Ram City, Aries “We must allocate our funds to the military!” “Oh please! What for? So you can waste more money on elaborate uniforms? They already look like walking art pieces! That’s not what the people need to see in this time of crisis! They need reassurance and answers!” “If anything, that just provesContinue reading “3.1: Chance Detection”
2.5: Imamu Prune
Tribal Council Hall, Virgo Atienna had yet to memorize all of the rooms within the Tribal Council Hall. When she had first come to the Hall years ago, she had thought she would be able to memorize the entire layout of the building within the week since there were only twenty-four rooms at the time.Continue reading “2.5: Imamu Prune”
