The Least Common Denominator L.III Equilibrium
My mind whirred at the implications of what this Prime just revealed to me. Did he mean that he taught Mother everything she knew? Or was he just a tutor of some sort? What was his relationship with her? A former superior? Did that mean that he was in the upper echelons of the Prime Thirteen? Or was it-"Calm your head, Little Eul," the Prime shook me from my thoughts as he laughed out loud. "Keep your head straight and fight hard."I blinked at the man that actually just gave me sound advice. A part of me was really starting to like the guy, but he still trapped Livia in a dome of earth. I couldn't just let that slide for my own sake. Also, "Little Eul?"That was my mother's name... So he really did know her before."Eul was your mother, correct?" the Prime pointed out as he put his fists up. "You're practically her sp

I paced around the small hill, knowing that going up there with no plan at all would be tantamount to suicide. The Prime had the high ground, but that didn't mean that it was impossible to beat him despite his overwhelming advantage against me in speed, strength, and experience...Okay. Maybe it was impossible, but that didn't mean that there wasn't a way for me to get through this."C'mon, Little Eul!" Lord Stone called out to me with his arms spread out. "You're mother would've swung at me already!"I snorted, "I'm not my mother, Sir!"There was no need to rush when I knew that Livia was just stuck inside her dome. She was safe in the meantime. Meanwhile, I was burning daylight trying to think up a way to approach the guy without eating shit in five seconds. Let me take my sweet ass time, dammit.

I tilted my head in confusion, my victory utterly shoved to the back of my mind as more pressing matters threatened to swarm my thoughts. Congratulations? Pass? What the hell did I pass? A test? An exam?"I see that you're confused," the Prime nodded to himself as he stood over me. "Well, ask your questions and I shall explain them!"How forthcoming... But that didn't mean I didn't forget the reason I fought so hard in the first place, "Before anything, let my sister go.""Your sister? Oh! Olivia, was it?"Without any more prompting, the muscle-bound man sauntered his way to his war hammer. Removing it from the earth, the dome trapping Livia finally lifted revealing a wholly scared, yet utterly mad young girl. The grip on her blades was bleeding, and her eyes held a manic glint in them that I had only seen in a mirror o

"First up, stop calling me Lady," I pointedly demanded. "I'm not one of your Primes just yet."Grigori snickered in his seat, "Oh, of course, Little Eul. I suppose the same will go for Littlest Eul over there?"I rolled my eyes at the Prime's designated nickname for Livia, "Yeah, sure. Whatever."I felt my fingers tremble from the anxious energy that I was feeling. I was getting rather impatient and I knew it. I gotta focus and get all the info I could get out of this man before running for the hills.I guess I should put the train back on track, "So, my earlier question?"Last I recalled, Love pointedly said to us that the Emperor was more than capable of holding a mean grudge. And while I might have been able to slip under the radar during the first few months of my then-rebellion, the amo

Purpose: something that I never had in my previous life that resulted in my eventual demise by my own hand. While most were easily content with just staying alive and calling it a day, I was stupid enough to go higher and tried to find something that I was decent enough to do for the rest of my life without killing myself. Of course, we all know how that turned out, but I guess I just didn't try hard enough, in my opinion. Perhaps I was meant to be a doctor despite my hatred of responsibility? Or maybe I was actually supposed to be that one perpetually tired doctor that's somehow good with her job despite not really wanting to do anything with it? Either way, it was too late to speculate such things now that it had already come and passed.Besides, I had a better purpose of living leading me in the front right now."We're almost, Sis. Just stick close."
The Least Common Denominator LI.II Number Line
Okay, Crimson... Think... Let's survey the area and see what the hell were our options in this fucked up situation...Peeking out of the foliage, our current position was one of relative safety at the very least. Foliage all around, albeit kind of dry in terms of temperature and humidity. The camps were firmly in the center of a clearing surrounded by dry forest, counting to at least ten to fifteen campfires interspersed throughout the area. The surrounding forest connected to our current hiding spot; forming a circle of treeline around the proverbial death zone, while our apparent end target according to Livia was on the opposite side of the clearing which I could actually see was a real path complete with a trail...Okay? Now what?"Can't we just follow the tree line and avoid all of this entirely?" I whispered out."

Like a wasp hive that got unceremoniously disturbed, the soldiers quickly came out of their revelry as I heard them immediately swarm our position. While I couldn't tell how many or how far they were in virtue of the tent's remains blocking our vision, I could still tell from the sound of boots on the ground that it was not just a substantial amount."Identifiez-vous!" What sounded like a stereotypical French dude shouted at us from outside the tent. I could already tell from the tone that he was far from happy with our current arrangements. "Sortez et rendez-vous!""What're they saying, Sis?" Livia whispered behind me."I have no idea."I could probably infer what the hell they were saying through what few loan words I knew, but other than that and their tone, I had absolutely no clue on whatever the fuck they were say
The Least Common Denominator LI.IV Number Line
"Sis?!""Just stick close and watch our backs!"Running into yet another dead end with Not-French soldiers following in our wake, I swung the Firebrand at some of the soldiers that got too close for comfort while Livia covered for me. The cacophony of noise and activity around us was at an all-time high; our enemies constantly shouting 'ecume imperiale' at us like it was gonna stop us from running away."Arrêter!" a soldier screamed at us as as soon as we saw him at the end of a corner. "Vous ne vous éloignerez jamais de nous!""Fucking shit..." I cursed under my breath as I immediately backpedaled. "Livia?!""We can't!" my sister shouted from behind me, our backs against each other as we methodically got sandwiched between two enemy detachments. "They're behind us as well!"
