Aleti Ra’non Boot to Ass I sweep for his ankles, but he rolls to avoid me. “What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with with the sides 12 and 13?” I ask Rom. He turns around to kick towards my head and I bring my arms up to block. Pfft! The first time his […]
Clayton Knight The Second Plan “So, Terra… is the Tutor working?” I ask. I still think that’s such a dumb and basic name for the thing. “I’m not sure honestly,” he admits to me. It was hard to not be sarcastic. “Wow, how helpful.” His face scrunches at me. “Rom’s learning, but I’m not sure […]
Aleti Ra’non Taken Why is it that everyone wants to train in the morning? What is the purpose? What is the plus side to getting up and training, at seven o’clock in the morning? Why not at midnight when I’m not tired? To be a jerk, that’s why. My mom thinks I need to learn […]
Alloya Ra’non The Mob Mentality Of course, I almost forgot, things always go bad. The mob that enters the training place aren’t armed with anything besides rage and numbers, but that doesn’t make them that much less threatening. I raise my open hands, the universal sign to calm down, as I plead with a mob […]
Clayton Knight Stealth, One More Time I’ve been trying to figure out Alloya’s plan for ‘revolution,’ for a while now. First, she has Hideo and I go make sure the Waverites butt out, but wouldn’t we want them on our side? She tells me that the Watree need to fight for themselves, another group of […]
Alloya Ra’non Limo Ride Terra, Aleti, and I get back in the car, collectively deciding to leave the party early. It definitely wasn’t just me. Terra gives some excuse about time dissonance, and I smile and wave. I bitch as I plump down into my seat, “Now I remember why I hate parties.” Aleti plops […]
Alloya Ra’non Not Much for Parties It used to be easy to get lost in the crowd. Whenever I feel myself being overwhelmed by people I shouldn’t punch and questions I don’t want to answer, I could just excuse myself and disappear in the crowd. People would look for me, but they wouldn’t find […]
Alloya Ra’non Non- Conjugal Visits “Are you two ready?” I ask Aleti and Terra’rork. I look between the two of them, Aleti sitting besides me, and Terra’rork across from me. “Sure am,” my daughter beams with raised chin. “As I’ll ever be,” Terra tells me honestly. “Remember, one of two things will happen,” I start […]
Jackal of the Reynor Never Forget 30 years ago, Reganorian Time “Can you tell me anything about her?” I ask my pack leader. I have to look up at Tybone, even when I’m sitting up straight. I’m not small, probably about average for a Lupian, but Tybone was taller than most. The auburn color […]
Alloya Ra’non Taking in the Scenery I follow after Clay as he flies to the middle of this valley we made. “Clay, stop! Please!” I call to him. He lands and powers down. When his arm swings out, I expect to see a fist, but he’s actually holdin ghis hand out to me. “My clothes […]
