Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 57: Darkness
Within the quiet lit halls. Where the floor reflects the light of the lamps along the walls. Quick footsteps are heard ahead, only to find Alecia, moving through the passage. She hastfullly picks up her feet with each step. With her hand over her mouth, she turns into the rest-room. Few gags and gasps, are heard inside, followed by plunks of water.After it ceases, she rests on her knees, with her hands leaning on the rim of the toilet while taking shallow breaths. She flushes the toilet, and slowly stands herself up, turning around, she steps towards the mirror and stares into her own reflection. Her eyes having dark rims around them, her skin, pale, her lips are now lighter. Her face softens, as her eyes start to glisten."What have I done to myself." She whispered, and closes her eyes with her head now lowered."Why did I need to do it." tears escape her closed eyes and run down her cheeks. "Such regret I have for doing this to myself." For a moment she cries silently, her h

Aven, Lumina and Ruth are seen standing around the bed which Alecia lays upon.Aven opens his eyes gently, as he stares down at Alecia's peaceful state with her eyes still closed."Did you do it?" Ruth said, looking at him.Aven looks at her and flicks his gaze down at Alecia."Watch." He said with a calm look in his eyes, which urges Ruth to look at her sister. Alecia's eyes flutter open and looks at Aven, and at Ruth.She slowly sits up, with her sister's hand along her back. "Easy now." Aven said. Alecia turns her gaze to him for a moment, her eyes still heavy. Only to look at Lumina, which causes her to widen her eyes."Hey miss." Lumina said with a gentle tone in her voice."How are you feeling?" "Lumina..." Alecia said, before pausing."We found you unconscious in the restroom." Ruth said, which urges Alecia to look her way."Before my eyes, you fell unconscious." Lumina said, averting her gaze. "What's going on with you?" Ruth said, crossing her arms with a narrowed gaze.
Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 59: Call For an Antidote
Alecia amd Ruth are seen walking within the halls of the palace. Their footsteps echoing throughout the passage."Just need to have a word with Aven." Ruth said, as they both turn down another passage."Why?" Alecia said, looking at her while she continues to walk with her."I have some things to do today." Ruth said, looking at her for a moment."So I'll ask him to take you to a person who could help." "Do you really think this person will help me?" "I have faith in what he does. I'm sure he'll be more than willing to." she smiles, and stands in front of the open room."Aven will make sure of it." Aven is seen sitting on a chair, and Lumina in the same room with her standing near the window. "What are you doing?" he said with a frownful look of curiosity.Lumina turns her attention to him."I beg your pardon?" she said with a puzzled look on her face."On your device, what are you doing?" he said with a calm look on his face."I'm just browsing things, you know." she said looking
Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 60: Fear Within
Within the empress' city-sized ship, smaller ones seen flying across it, all flying to and fro from each other, some are entering, and leaving the ship. Among them, a gray one is seen flying through the traffic of other ships. As most pass them by in the opposite direction. The ground below has small, short buildings. Alecia looks away from the window and gives a downcast look. She stares at her hands. Her mind circulating with thoughts of something that's eating her inside; thoughts of what happened decades before, events that caused all of this, the damaged relationship of her sister, her inability to cope with the things that has changed. Her hands close into fists, she starts to frown. "Where is he?" she said, her voice sounding cold and bitter, anger beginning to grow within her chest. "Who, Clay?" Aven said looking at her, to see the unpleasant expression on her face. Only for him to look ahead once more. "No, Silas." She answered, looking ahead of herself. Her fists clinch
Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 61: The Bitter Truth
Along the empress' carrier ship. Aven's ship is seen flying through the buildings along the surface. Only a few ships are traversing to and fro.Within the ship, Alecia rests her chin on her hand while watching the buildings pass by. Her eyes scanning from one building to another, only for her to catch a glimpse of someone looking out from their window."Very strange." Alecia whispered out as the building goes out of view. "What is?" Aven said, still focusing ahead."My sister's ship." she noted, looking ahead for a moment."Having these buildings. The way people are actually living here..." she pauses for a moment."It's unheard of." "It's rather impressive, isn't it." Aven said, looking at her with a smile."They are not here for free. Each person has an important job on the ship."He clears his throat."They keep it afloat, and in return they reap the benefits of having a meal every day, if you know what I mean." he said, looking at her, only to look ahead once more."You live her
Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 62: Strong Bond
Inside Clay's building, Alecia and Aven walk through the lit hallways.The narrow passage has Aven walking at a steady pace in front of her. She watches each side of the hallway. All she can think about is the enclosed space around her. Looking over her shoulder, she watches as the door gets smaller; the front entrance that separates her from the outside. "Is there something bothering you?" Aven's voice snaps her attention away from it. "Don't you feel uneasy about this place?" She said, staring ahead at him."What happened to you?" Aven said, slightly turning his head, with his gaze now over his shoulder. His words causes her to have a puzzled look on her face."You have gone soft I see." He concluded his statement, and stares ahead as they both stop at the end of the hallway. She glares at him for a momentAlecia walks out of the passage, only to stand next to him. Before them, a long table, and a chair, stands in front of them. Above it, is a large blackboard. Curved around it, a

For a long while, Aven is seen standing next to Clay. Watching as he examines the blood, with a screen showing footage of a sample. Alecia stands up from the chair, and stares at the screen, and sees blood cells, which are being impaled by the virus. With each cell getting infected by it.Alecia cringes inside just by the sight of it. She frowns with a disturbed look on her face, only to slowly cross her arms, her hands now tucked in. "So that's what is in me?" She asks, still staring at the screen. The light from it, illuminating her face. "Yes, unfortunately." Clay said, as he scans around blood cells. "Look." Aven said, pointing at the one end of the screen."There's a few that are not infected." "Wait..." Clay said, his voice trailing off. Alecia looks up at the screen again, now slowly stepping forward, her eyes fixed on it.Just then, a few strands of the virus breaks away from the infected cells, and injects itself into the healthy ones. "That's disturbing." Aven said, l

Leah is seated on her bed, crossed legged, with the sword on her lap. She stares at the window for a moment, only to look down at it. Her eyes trailing off to the shoulder of it, and to the guard-cross that holds the ridged blade in place. The handle smooth, thin, and, curved, with the pommel having a short point to one side, like a beak.Leah now moves her index finger, with it sliding across the edge of the blade. Starting from the shoulder, down to the point. She looks at her finger tip, and rubs off the visible blood with her thumb, only to bring it to her lips.She sweeps her legs off the bed, and stands. Only for her to gracefully wave the sword, her eyes locking on each swipe.The weight of it is not too heavy, with it resembling her old weapon. She holds it horizontally, and looks down at the handle, to see a button. Her thumb presses it, only for an electrical current to surge across the blade itself. Her lips twist into a smirk, only for her to press the button, and the cu

Alecia sits beside him, with Lumina sitting across them.The large hall surrounding the four, is silent. Only the muffling sound of the rain-storm is heard outside. The scent of freshly cooked food, still filling their nostrils. They all sit still, with Ruth moving her gaze between Aven, and Alecia. "Can someone answer my question?" Ruth asked, with a frownful gaze at them, and looks straight at her sister."What is it?" She asked again, her eyes train to her daughter, only for the young girl to look away and continues eating.Beeds of sweat form on Alecia's forehead, only for one of them to stream down her temple, and moves along her cheek.Her hand trembling above the plate of food, eyes flickering. "R-Raine..." she said, urging Ruth to stare at her with a frown. "The gin... She's free." Aven narrows his gaze. He leans his elbow on the table with his hand near his face

She starts flicking a few switches on the console.Kase stares at her; his frown squints."What do you mean?" He asked."I thought we were already on our way?" Leah chuckles.

Faint droplets fall upon the empress' ship, as it curtains down onto the landscape below as far as the eye can see.Within the docking bay, a large spaceship is being held, along with smaller ones, like Aven's. The interior is large, and spacious. The ceiling is high above the single great ship. There's but one entrance to the bay behind the ship itself.

Ten, to twenty workers walk around the bay, some taking notes, while others work on the ship.Two individuals, a man and a woman walk beside each other among the crowd of workers, and residents. They are both wearing gray armor around their torso, that is polished to a shine. Two wings are sculpted on the chest plate, which stretch to their shoulders.

Past midnight, the Empress' ship is now quiet, as most of its residents are now asleep in their homes. Within the guard barracks. Where the prison cells are. Inside the last cell, Raine is still held.She is seen pacing within the confined space. Her fingers stiff as she struggles to close them into fists.Looking down at her own palms, she stops. Wide-eyed, gritting her teeth, her hands shake as she tries to close them. Her hands begin to emit dark-blue flames, with her eyes reflecting its glow. Shutting her eyes, she clutches her hands into fists, only for the flames to spew between her fingers.Her eyes open, and watches as the flames fade away into nothing. Taking a deep breathe, she exhales. Raine opens her hands, and lowers them to her side. Turning her attention towards the energy field, she steps in front of it. Standing inches from it, she stares through, watching the other prisoners across her in their own cells. Two of which, are in her view, with one having a young man

The guard barracks are now quiet, and calm. Dark it is, with the evening taking over. The hallways are illuminated by lights along the walls, with the smooth floor reflectimg them. In one of the rooms, Leah is located. It is dark inside, with a dim, green, light, illuminating the interior. Leah lays on her back, along the bed, her black hair spread out on the pillow. On her face, a headset covers her eyes, blue neon lights emitting from it. Faint sounds of music can be heard from the two neon-lit devices in her ears.Her breathing is calm, her hands resting on her stomach. One would think she is sound asleep. After a few moments, a vibration is heard. She sits herself up, taking the devices off her ears. From her pocket she takes out her phone, and brings it to her ear. "Empress?" She simply said. -Ruth is seated at her desk, staring at the screen, holding the device over her ear."Leah, you wanted to discuss something?" She said, picking up her glass, and takes a sip. She pla

The desk where she is seated, is at the corner of the room, her bed being in the middle, the sheets, white, pillows, dark-green. Her desk is white to a shine, and solid enough to keep the necessary things she needs. Books, as well as a large screen lay on top of it. Faint sounds can be heard in the distance outside. The window of her room is half-open, the curtain gently flowing from the cool air seeping through. The empress is clothed with a white long sleeve top, with an overlay clip over her torso, as well as a long white pants with heeled boots.

Hours have passed since Alecia, and Aven arrived at Clay's building. In this afternoon, the area is quiet. Only the faint sound of the ships in the far distance is heard.Both Alecia, and Aven step out from Clay's building, only for the doors to close behind them. They both walk past the guard, and proceed to the ship."Now with that out out of the way." Aven said, walking around his ship."We can worry about other things."Alecia stands on the other side. Only for her to rub her forehead with a frown for a moment, only to look up and lowers her hand."I'm glad we're out of that place." She said, taking a quick look over her shoulder."I couldn't agree more." Aven said, facing her with a nod, only to open the door and gets in the ship, followed by Alecia."At least we got what we came for." Aven said, looking at her with his hand on the control."Yes." She said, opening a black sleeve, which has two syringes inside. All filled with a lime-green substance."I wish he had made more." S
