Renegade: Part I
Danalar Arc I: Renegade Part I: Troublemaker In the blazing heat of summer, the holding cell was damp and suffocating. I laid on the bench, ignoring the glares of the prisoners in the other cell next to mine. I’d gotten my very own, they’d probably thought it was for the best to keep me separate. The others stared at me, partly because they’d rarely seen an alien like myself up close, partly…

Starborn Knight: Part VI
Shekaree, Chevalier One month ago — August 2016 After three earth years of trying to get me to come to the village with her, I finally agreed to follow Sikara into town. Everything in the human’s settlement was different from ours; the roads went as they pleased with no logical organization, the buildings were also haphazard with service establishment mixed among the housing, there was no central…

Skins: Part I
Sasha Vasiliev, Vucari I ran through the woods. Letting my mind drift in that space between animal and human” I just focused on feeling the cold night air on my snout, the way wind rustling my fur and the movement of my canine body. “Sasha!” I heard my dad called, drawing me out of my trace. “It’s almost time to go!” I turned around and ran back to the house where my father held the back door…

Shekaree, Chevalier Three years ago After a chilling cold season, the comfortable warmth of summer came back again. Although the humans seemed to feel like the days were burning, it wasn’t much above the intermediate season of Resh. Despite my fears, the humans mainly left us alone, barring the handful who would camp at the gate of our city, protesting our existence. I hadn’t mastered any of…

Shekaree, Chevalier Four years ago After spending the night in the human’s facility, we were brought to the south of the land and into the mountainous range. There stood a camp, a few dozen modular structures of Tzari design. “I recognize this place.” I said. “Master Iren and I landed around here. We spent some time in this camp.” “The humans have agreed to let us stay here and use the…

The Starborn Knight: Part III
Sometimes later, I woke up in a tiny cell, only a few yards across. I didn’t know where I was, I couldn’t see anything as the only entrance was barred by a heavy metal door. The aliens had taken the time to strip me as I no longer wore my apprentice’s uniform, instead they’d dressed me into some loose orange one-piece outfit. I spent a few minutes trying to remember everything that had happened…

The Starborn Knight: Part II
It didn’t take long on the alien’s world for us to encounter the first sign of resistance. Thankfully the aliens were no match for us, their technology still relying on primitive chemical payload to propel metallic projectiles. Master Iren and I however remained largely away from the worst of the engagements, although lords were formidable opponents, our duty was to oversee the operation on the…

The Starborn Knight: Part I
Shekaree, Chevalier Four years ago One moment I was in the sky over Resh, trying to resist the urge to panic as the hypersleep chamber filled with liquid as my consciousness slowly drifted away and the next, I was was waking up covered in sticky residue, my entire body feeling numb and taking my first breath in only the ancestors knew how long. In what had felt like a split second, I’d traversed…
