Twin Cities, Gemini Cadence was exhausted. Emotionally and mentally. First there had been the debacle with Nico and Werner. And now there was Olive’s emotional dilemma. Those two events had just exacerbated Cadence’s exhaustion. Olive’s memory of the fire was seared into Cadence’s mind. The screams, the smells. Awful. And then there was Olive’s suffocatingContinue reading “5.2: Morello Conclusion”

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”
4.4: Gloria Twist
Aboard Gloria’s Grail, Geminian Waters “Hm? Mutiny? Why would I be concerned about something like that?” Maria was not only addressing Simon and Conta who were currently present with her in her quarters but also Werner, Olive, and Cadence who were mentally present. “Capitana,” Conta began, “the men… they saw you—” “—lose in your duelContinue reading “4.4: Gloria Twist”
4.3: Waltz Misfire
Abandoned Town, Capricorn The synchronization event brought upon by Ariesian Prince Olivier Chance seemed to have exacerbated Werner’s condition. Whenever he’d rest his eyes, he’d enter an odd sort of microsleep where what he assumed were memories would barrage his mind. The dreams were so vivid that they’d almost seemed real. Flashes of a narrowContinue reading “4.3: Waltz Misfire”
4.2: Morello Bridge
Twin Cities, Gemini “Adapt, adapt, adapt,” she would say, porcelain fingers flying across the bone-white keys. Clear laugh chiming, she’d look down with a coy smile. Cadence would tune her ears to the sharp chords the woman would play and would try to jump in to play with her. But the woman would always beContinue reading “4.2: Morello Bridge”
3.6: Jericho Brutality
Twin Cities, Gemini “Curse the Organization for stealing my wallet. Now I can’t get the sustenance I need to truly get to the bottom of their nefarious deeds.” They were standing outside a cafe. It was dark out and the light from the café window was warm. Jericho stared at Talib before pulling out aContinue reading “3.6: Jericho Brutality”
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”
3.2: Morello Chorus
Twin Cities, Gemini The rain took care of most of the dirty work. It pelted down and washed the red out into the bay. The bay itself swallowed up all the body bags weighted with cement blocks. Cadence stood beneath the roof at the entrance of Warehouse 12 and watched as the men moved theContinue reading “3.2: Morello Chorus”
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.[]: Boy in the Capital
New Ram City, Aries The dawn air had soaked up much of the late-night rain and hung heavy with humidity. Even with the breeze circling around him, Claire was sweating. While the sky-blue cloak drawn over his head protected his dark hair from drinking in the sun’s rays, it also trapped him in his ownContinue reading “2.[]: Boy in the Capital”
