Onboard Gloria’s Grail, Piscese Waters When Maria opened her eyes, she found moonlight still spilling in through her window and her entire ship sounding as if it was still asleep. Only the creaks and groans of the wooden floorboards as the ship tilted back and forth and the occasional tap of the waves against theContinue reading “7.4: Maria’s Hunt (Cacciatore)”

7.3: Werner’s Efficiency (Esitazione)
Abschnitt 45, Capricornian-Argoan Border, Capricorn Thirty-four days after Major Ersatz’s arrest at the Capricornian-Aquarian border by the Ophiuchians, Werner and his unit were deployed back out to the southern border. They were ordered to take up station at the Argoan border outpost they had been positioned at prior to their rerouting to the Capricornian-Aquarian border.Continue reading “7.3: Werner’s Efficiency (Esitazione)”
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)”
6b: Crimson Volition
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”
5.3: Waltz Lock-on
Abandoned Town, Capricorn “What the hell is going on here?!” Cadence repeated. Sequentially, the events leading up to this moment where Werner found himself now bashing in the head of one of the soldiers Ersatz had brought along with him had been simple. When the major had reiterated that they were to take on theContinue reading “5.3: Waltz Lock-on”
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”
4.4: 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”
