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
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
At the empress' home where she resides. The guards are stationed at their posts near the base of the building, silence is all there is at the moment. Within the building itself, in her main bedroom, Ruth is seated at her desk, with a glass of red liquid accompanying her. 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. Her rosé hair now tied up in a bun with a few strands hanging from it. The screen illuminates her face, with patterns of light moving across as she slides her hands
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
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
In the early morning, the sky is clothed in a gray blanket of clouds. 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. Mechanics continue to do their work around the ship, along with the small ones. Soldiers stand guard near the large ship, observing their surroundings. 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. The young woman tightens the red sash around her waist, with th
Away from its planet; a ship is seen hovering. It looks static in the great cosmos that surrounds it.Silence is peaceful. It is what thrives in the black void of space. Within this ship; two individuals are residing. Leah, and Kase. They're on their way to a planet quite different from there own. Kase still sits on the passenger seat next to Leah. Watching the grand, glittering black sheet before him. He turns to look at Leah, who's still listening to her music. Frowning with a smirk; he shakes his head, and looks away. "Alright," Leah said, breaking the silence. Urging Kase to look at her. She takes the devices from her ears, and sits forward."Let's get going now." 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. "Covering a distance of several light-years, at this speed?" She looks at him with a grin."Unlikely." She presses the last button. Only for
On the Ruth's ship, and within her palace. Inside the dining hall, her guard, Aven is seated beside her table. 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
