22.0: The Terrorists & The Saints
??? The woman on the ground trembled beneath the light pouring in from the singular, small opening of the cavern ceiling above her. Down from that light sauntered small snowflakes that melted into tiny rivers that trailed down the woman’s pale face. It was a face frozen into a twisted expression of agony. Her fingersContinue reading “22.0: The Terrorists & The Saints”
21c: Outsiders Lurking Below
??? The warmth of the vitae stream cast the white pillars in an iridescent glow. Lambda hummed to herself from where she was perched on top of one of the slanted pillars.

Sometimes when she was on still waters on the ship, she would scale down the side of the hull with rope, dip her fingers into the lapping waters, and lick her fingers of the salt.

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.

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”
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.
