The Nestling: 4

I froze for just a second too long, before diving to the left after moving back a step out of the room. The giant creature closed most of the distance in my slight moment of hesitation, tooth and claw baring down on me. I made it about halfway back towards the dining room table whenContinue reading “The Nestling: 4”

The Nestling: 3

That naturally left me with the question of where I should start. The room around me was interesting enough, to start, I supposed. So, for my first order of business, I elected to go investigate those display cases, the four of them littered about the back walls of the room. I approached the one closestContinue reading “The Nestling: 3”

The Nestling: 2

That caught me a bit off guard, as he said it. Especially with his easy mode of speaking. He wanted to offer me a job. Instantly, my mind was alight with possibilities, with what he could want or what that could possibly mean for me. Why would he care this much? What were his intentions?Continue reading “The Nestling: 2”

The Nestling: 1

I woke up with a splitting pain all over my body. That was all I felt, for a solid thirty seconds to a minute, as my vision blurred above me. I eventually brought it back to focus as the pain numbed from the initial burst. I was trying to get my head in order, afterContinue reading “The Nestling: 1”

Sovereign

The low hissing of air escaping a confined space pounded in Isala’s ears as the chamber began to unseal. It was an almost rhythmic sound, lining up with her observation of time spent within, and it being something she heard on a day to day basis. The air escaping, followed by her standing up, thenContinue reading “Sovereign”

The Neonate: 10

I saw the blast hit between my feet and froze. Dammit. I couldn’t go two seconds without being the unluckiest man alive. They’d caught me weaponless too. I looked up, to scan for an assailant as I ran for cover. I saw them, charging another blast in their hands on a nearby rooftop. I couldn’tContinue reading “The Neonate: 10”

The Neonate: 9

I was left to contemplate what Shale had said for a few hours as I milled about the house. I was even more shaky on my feet after my brief engagement with the Noctis agent, even thought I felt as if it was a good, decisive and most importantly, easy victory. I could defeat NoctisContinue reading “The Neonate: 9”

The Neonate: 8

After spending a few minutes proudly looking upon my work, I gave a simple nod to no one and placed Tali’s former work off to the side, leaving my now empowered blade front and center on the workbench. I smiled a bit at the small gesture, then exited the room, closing the door firmly behindContinue reading “The Neonate: 8”

The Neonate: 7

I woke up the next morning feeling horribly sore and bruised. Looked to see the sunlight through my window, my process of actually getting up was slow and always slightly painful through each step. Eventually, though I find myself awake and sitting up. Both swords were haphazardly stored in a corner, I hadn’t taken muchContinue reading “The Neonate: 7”

The Neonate: 6

As the man approached and spoke, I somehow froze up more, stumbling over my words and thoughts before finally settling on a simple- “I’m not…sure I want to do that” My heart was going faster and heavier in my chest by the second. This all seemed horribly suspicious, at least in my current state. TheseContinue reading “The Neonate: 6”
