The Royal Execution “The past has never changed, and it never will.” Lady Zohra Sha  Calcutta Sha When I got to the roof and found Koki waiting for me, I felt so smug. Poppy has told me that my smirk can be a little smug, which means that it was really smug.  I gained a […]

The Royal Playdate “Never debase yourself for someone who will not hold a door open for you.” Lady Renho Takeda Lemon Limelight I didn’t know what to make of Lumen. Sure, we’re all aliens on Drota, but he was so different. He didn’t use cakra to fly or use his powers. He had full control […]

The Royal Lunch “People forget, we are also animals, we can turn on you in a second.” Lady Camilla Lexus Potempa Lexus Lunch used to be my favorite meal of the day, especially when we were home in the castle. It didn’t have the best food, but I could spend lunch with whoever I wanted. […]

Alloya Ra’non Godly Forms “Oh no…” Tolk trails off. I tell Martine, “Now, now is the time to play the recording.” The Riverti man looks at me with sullen eyes.

Hideo TriVi Die-Ve Eron Romulic  “That’s bullshit!” Aleti screeches. Girl read my mind, though, she really didn’t have to.. All around us the Watree are a mixed bag of groans and swearing. It’s strange, they’re upset, but not riotous, which I would be. It’s almost as if they’re angry at themselves. They had hope, and […]

Clayton Knight Expect the Expected I’m still leaning against the wall as Rom tries to comfort Sevine over her loss. ‘Do you think someone’s gonna walk in and think you’re cool?’ Sera insults me. I don’t care what other people think, I care what I think. ‘Oh sure, and what do you think?’ … that […]

The Royal Correction “You never outrun your scars, sometimes you have to look in the mirror and face them.” Lady Camilla Lexus Potempa Lexus I felt my body burn as my cakra flowed through my body. At first, it was like when I teleported, where it fused with every inch of my body. I utilized […]

The Royal Bastards of Galagan (Chapter 9)

The Royal Challenge “Make no mistake, fear is not respect.” Lady Zohra Sha  Calcutta Sha “Enough.” After the pipsqueak finally squealed in frustration, I lifted my hand from the charred doll and saw not a spot on it. I really was enjoying this new way to set people on fire. What was this about healing […]

Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 27)

Clayton Knight Will to Rule Today is the big day, the Ruleden Tourney. We’re supposed to be in the capital city of Ramone, but to be honest, I can’t say I know the differences between these cities all that well.  The turnout really makes the place feel weird. Rivertans among the Riverti and the Watree […]

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 […]
