Stars

“I don’t think he’s seen stars in a while,” Tyler hums, watching the horizon line with the two others he accompanied. The skyline is an unquesionable gradiant of black, dark blue, and softer blue hues with white specs taking up spaces in between clouds. Towards the end of the cliff, Zell sits. His legs crossed one over the other, and his head tilts backwards as if his eyes could digest the entire sky this way. Zell swallows hard, unconsciously noticing that it had been quite sometime since he even bothered to drink the water he originally intended. He became side-tracked with the view, and he was enamored with how different Demiurge was from Earth. Light pollution made it near impossible to see the stars, unless you were wildnerness with no sign of civilization for miles. Of course, even in this scenario, it wasn’t as if there were so many before him as there were now. A replication of what galaxies looked like to humanity lay before them, and even Tyler felt himself hold his breath.

“I haven’t seen stars like this, Ty.” Cedrick replies, quietly unzipping the front of his uniform. A sleek black latex suit with patterns which look like circuits which connected to a circle that highlighted the emblems of their origins on his back and his chest. Tyler and Zell bore the same one-piece suits, however, Tyler was of different origin so his emblem was aggressively different from the other two Gemrazents. Even then, Cedrick and Zell’s suits had differences to them that signified their inheritance. Cedrick’s circuit patterns bore a silverish-white color against the black which was a color of clan for the Opal Gemrazents; similarly, Zell’s was an light electric blue color- one which reflected in the soft blue hues of his eyes that made it look like they flashed whenever he would give quick glances. Cedrick pulled the front zipper of his suit down enough to show the skin of his collarbone and his chest. Although relaxed, Cedrick knew there was an underlying evil about this place. He knew that Zell could feel it too, and each of them tried hard not to let it’s history spoil the beauty. It was hard, as both of their minds wandered onto the dwarvish demons that once lay claim to this land called Yissachar.

“Are y’all thinkin’ about that girl..?” Tyler prodded, reading the sudden damp expressions on each of his companions’ faces. Zell pulled his knees towards his chest, and Cedrick gave a solemn look towards Tyler.

“Kinda hard not to, Ty. It a place that used to be filled with life... It’s just ruin now. Hard to believe anyone would come here anymore.” Cedrick grunts, displaying his annoyances with the past. Tyler sighs, shaking his head.

“There isn’t anything that can be done now. Ain’t nobody livin’ here for generations. Only ten of them left, and no matter what we know the rest of the world wants them dead.” Tyler retorts, as if his words or insight might change the atmosphere at all. Cedrick balls his hands up into fists, as if venting his frustrations.

“We’re only rookies, Ced. What do you reckon we even do at this point? Nothin’ that can be done. ‘Sides... We got a job to do.” Tyler speaks up once again. Before Ced could even protest, Zell stands up and calls their attention.

“We can grow from it..” the blue-eyed Gemrazent speaks, smiling with a natural naivety that puts ther others in some strange ease. Both enamored with his mannerisms, his optimism, his smile; even if he wants to let his emotions spill out. He was always good at hiding how he truly felt, but in this instance both Tyler and Cedrick were taken back by the sight of tears streaming down their companion’s face.

“Maybe... We can’t change things. But we can make this world and our world better to prevent it. For that Robin girl.. and everyone else.” Zell can hardly see the other two through blurry vision, but he can feel their expressions change as the atmosphere does to.

“Right..” Cedrick and Tyler say in unison.

“C’mon guys, we gotta find a place to sleep. Then tomorrow we head to Lukas to finish our objective. That fugitive isn’t gonna catch themselves!”
