Chapter 26: A Hero’s Death

Date: November 11, 3007
Time: 14:00
Location: El Nath Region

The body was gone now, followed by the eerie silence that filled the black cavern once more. Small waves lapped over the edge of the slab of stone, the dying wakes of the final fight. Cold, freezing water touched her hand, enveloping it for a few seconds like the devil’s icy grip, then retreated back into the dark sea. Caleio let her hand hang limply by her side as she stared up at the infinite blackness above her. It was just like the night sky, only darker with a hint of death. read more

His eyes flashed as the lights rushed past him. He was falling, but he loved every minute of it. The elevator came to a halt with a distant ding and the doors slid open, revealing a narrow corridor leading to one and only one room. Rey walked forwards, his red irises glinting with a maniacal hint of pleasure. That was the problem of a psychopath: their movements were reckless but deadly, much like those of a gun. read more

Chapter 24: Many Meetings Gone Awry

Date: November 10, 3007
Time: 22:00
Location: Navasota Island

Deidre’s mind was in chaos. Whatever they were doing, they were doing it well; a red fog was roiling through her brain, consuming everything it came into contact with. It was like a taste of the devil’s kiss: the kiss of insanity.

The world was a haze of crimson, as if everything was bloodstained and tainted. Deirdre fell to the floor; her legs would not listen to her anymore. A pair of dark-red boots stood in front of her, unmoving like two stone pillars. She rolled over onto her back, her tears and sweat mingling together before dripping to the cold concrete floor. If this was what hell was like, Deirdre would die. The irony almost killed her. read more

Time: 07:00
Location: Orbis- The Zerra Mansion

My eye lids fluttered open, revealing my emerald eyes. I looked up at the ceiling from my comfy golden bed and smile to myself. If only every morning was like this. The sun was shining a little below the horizon through the window by my side, spreading its glorious, newly red rays across my bedspread and onto my body. I felt its warmth as I put my feet on the cold wooden ground of my spacious bedroom. Where are those slippers? read more

Location: SS Isis off the coast of El Nath

Five minutes and counting. Aaru struggled through her trunk, trying desperately to find her pair of combat gloves. Beside her, Annikabelle was rapping the doorframe with her knuckles exasperatedly. She sighed loudly as she looked at her watch. Four minutes. read more

Author’s Note: I will be on a two week trip from July 1 to July 14 and I will not have any internet access. That means I won’t be posting any new chapters for the next two weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I’ll think of the last parts of this series and I promise it will be good.

Chapter 24: The Parting

I open my eyes, I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how, I can’t remember why, I’m lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain, and I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me, I’ve made my mistakes
Got no where to run, the night goes on, it’s all fading away
I’m sick of this life, I just want to scream
How could this happen to me

Orbis PQ! The words just make my tummy all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Ok not really, but that’s ok. 1st PQ! Gather ’round kids, lemme tell you a story.

So I log on and introduce myself to OPQ (that’s Orbis Party Quest for all you acronym-haters). I get into a fairly decent party and find out that we are doing the full thing, the real deal, the big kahuna, whatever you wanna call it. So I have no clue what to do (I am really lazy, lazy enough not to read the OPQ guide on hidden-street). I’m just clueless as I walk around the Entrance stage. People are hitting clouds and I’m like, whatever, so I start hitting them too. Gasp! Clouds fell out! (Oh and I was too lazy to read the pop up that comes up on the screen when you first start the PQ). read more

Chapter 21: The Past- Part 2

The walls are breathing
My mind’s unweaving
Maybe it’s best to leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
~The All-American Rejects

Aaru staggered down the filthy streets of Kerning City. It had been three days since she had left Fang’s lair. It had been three days after she had killed someone. It had been three days of freedom. It had been five years and three days since her parents had died. read more

Author’s Note: In the beginning there is a quote from The Matrix: Reloaded.
Oh and look at that pic!

Chapter 19: The Beginning of the End

When you take a life do you know what you get
Odds are you won’t like what it is
When the storm arises would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes of deceit
I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
