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”
5.4: GOLDEN BEAST
Gloria’s Grail, Geminian Waters “I can’t believe Oros actually bested the capitana.” “She’s not the captain anymore. Don’t call her that.” Pierre and Tulio descended to the prison cells where Maria was kept below deck. The two had been crewmates together aboard a cargo ship called the G.S. Dante prior to being roped onto Gloria’sContinue reading “5.4: GOLDEN BEAST”
5.2: Morello Conclusion
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”
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”
4.4: 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”
