Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 26)

Aleti Ra’non  Promises I turn the shower dial off, and try to get out before it goes from being scalding hot to frigid cold. It’s broken, no one will fix it because Mom likes it.. This is Mom’s shower. I can’t use the one in Jackal’s old room since I can’t even reach the temperature […]

Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 23)

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.

The Royal Exiles “Through tears, we gain freedom from the world, but most importantly… from ourselves.” Lord Iwata Takeda Potempa Lexus My back still hurt from the fall, and so did my head, and my ankle, and my ass.

The Angel of Death (Part IV Finale)

“Well, if isn’t it hindsight and her bitch sister karma.” There’s a man leaning against the glass as he calls down the hall. He really does believe he’s cool, it’s the only reasonable explanation for why he poses like a greaser in a movie about the 60s, standing with his arms crossed, hanging his jacket […]
