Awaken Into a New World Volume 2: Chapter 71: Hearts Are Grey
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
Awaken Into a New World Chapter 1: Awaken
On a beautiful-almost serene-afternoon, with a clear cerulean sky, the sunlit skyscrapers flaunted the city's brilliance."You have been there, haven't you?" a woman's ominous voice said."A world where the inhabitants go against each other for territory. There'd be peace and war once more, a never-ending cycle. They'd continue until the journey to the stars."A rocket launched into the high atmosphere and eventually into space."However," she continued. "All things must end."Appeared from the void of space was an enormous ship; the rocket got crushed by the mothership as it collided into it. The ship shot a projectile into the atmosphere of the planet that left behind a trail of fire.It created a massive collision near the city, and in its wake was an atomic explosion of radiation and superheated clouds of hot gas and ash that engulfed the entire city as it got wiped out in an instant.The ship ignited a few more projectiles, craving to end all of life.Decades later, hot ash still

"I can help you gather supplies if you are in need," said Evie, heading down the ash hill before her.Alecia trailed behind it while keeping eyes on her surroundings. Clouds of dust formed underneath her white boots with each step she took, making it dirty.A soft, ricocheting sound rippled through a narrow alleyway. She walked close enough to examine where it came from and found a plastic sheet manipulated by a gentle breeze."Alecia," Evie called from behind her. She turned her attention to her companion. "These supplies will put your strength back to normal."-Alecia and Evie were on the first floor of a dilapidated building. Sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor, she stared through the crack on the wall and viewed the city down below, a gust of contaminated air blowing on her silver hair."I didn't realize I was so hungry," Alecia said with a chuckle. Her smile quickly faded as her eyes narrowed at the two men walking side-by-side in the distance, pulse quickening at the sight o
Awaken Into a New World Chapter 3: Accused
Alecia pushed herself off the ground and staggered towards the doorway. Rubbing the sleep off of one eye, she found Evie near the entrance as she stepped out of the building."Hello again," Alecia greeted.Evie remained strangely silent, and she, with her eyes locked on Evie, moved next to it."What are you doing?" she asked, waving her hand over Evie's eyes.Its hand materialized a sharp-edged weapon. Alarmed, Alecia backed away, never leaving her eyes at the metal."Stay back," said Evie, an unusual, ominous tone to its robotic voice, which made Alecia's eyes widen a fraction."We're in danger."Her pulse quickened at the mention of danger, gaze frantically grazing around the area, adamant to find the imperilment her companion spoke of."We're surrounded," warned Evie.Alecia stepped back, her arms stiff, and intertwined her sweating fingers."What do we do?" she asked, looking around and searching for an escape route, but all she saw were debris, wreckage, and destruction."Get bac
Awaken Into a New World Chapter 4: Alone
Falling into a never-ending abyss, Alecia's breathing increased rapidly as she watched the light dimmed out. As soon as she closed her eyes, awaiting the inevitable end, rough voices growled and dominated her head."She's one of them!""This is for all the people who have died because of you.""I'm different.""I thought you'd understand."In a snap, she became weightless, along with the calm breeze guiding around her entire body. Alecia pried open her eyes to find herself no longer slipping endlessly, but hovering above the ground, transparent blue flames keeping her in a fixed position. It delicately descended her to the ground and disintegrated away into nothing.She struggled to keep herself up-just standing upright was a difficult task for her-and roamed her eyes around the unfamiliar area."Oh, Evie," she murmured with a shaky breath. "I'm so sorry."She closed her eyes, letting out a sigh, and when she opened them, a thick fog surrounded her. Slow and steady, she stumbled to th
Awaken Into a New World Chapter 5: Answers
Alecia and Wallace entered the house and headed into a room; its dark-brown walls gave off a natural vibe. The bookshelf packed with books of all sorts stood against the wall that faced the doorway. Alecia thought it odd for the other bookshelf to contain fewer books."Just take a seat there," Wallace said, pointing to a chair. She strode towards it and watched Wallace limp towards the desk and lean his back against it."This is my office." The man looked around the room with pride as he leaned on his cain."I do all of my research here." He twisted into a smile. "Of course it's pretty pointless now."Alecia fiddled through her hair, which didn't escape the old man's notice."If I remember correctly, your hair used to have a dark shade of black to it, and I see it's no longer that way. It might be due to the tank.""Wasn't it something called radiation?" Alecia asked, deliberately."No, radiation couldn't enter that tank," he said, confidence etched on his face. "You're pretty clever

The curious individuals strode near the ruins of a large built-in fountain."Isn't that weird, how it has an infant with wings?" she said, standing in front of it, scrutinizing the statue, her arms crossed. "It looks like it's blowing the palm of its own hand.""Seems that way," he said, moving beside her, and typed something on the device on his wrist, light reflecting his face."What a weird idol," she said, stroking her chin with a tilt of her head. "No, it's too basic to be an idol.""It might only be an art form," he said with a reasonable tone while he continued typing."Is that so?" She frowned and roamed around the fountain, meeting his gaze. "What are you doing?""Just logging our time spent here." He took a look at her and back on the screen."Do we have to do it?" She perched on the fountain wall."Yes," he glowered at her, "we do."Scowling, he rolled his eyes. "We need to keep record where we are and how we got here."He stopped typing and lowered his arms. "We are very f

"Where did you come from?" The settler led them up the hill entrapped by buildings built from various scraps."Well," Aven hesitated, "we've journeyed from the East, I guess.""Oh, yes." The settler nodded. "I heard stories about the ruins of that city Eleanorah.""Interesting," said Leah sarcastically. Aven turned to her; she ignored his stare as they followed the settler into the path headed in a large yard, surrounded by multitudinous buildings. In the middle, a group of settlers swarmed around a campfire, the flame flickering on."Here're some travelers!" announced the settler. When they reached the gathered group, some of the settlers turned to look at them, unreadable expressions on their faces; some appeared to be suspicious."Ah, yes, travelers," said a man among the group. "You know we don't let anyone in here, right?" The man stood and faced the settler.Leah chuckled and mumbled to Aven, "He's bald."Aven hissed at her. "I'm trying to listen.""What's this?" inquired the

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

Volume 2: Chapter 69: Shattered
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

Volume 2: Chapter 68: Precious Time
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

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

Volume 2: Chapter 65: Dark Void
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

Volume 2: Chapter 64: Sight For Epra
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

Volume 2: Chapter 63: Familiar Craft
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
