Sedna watched the little man with trepidation. Why Abberon was trusting him, she could not fathom. His machine looked not too impressive either... But that could easily be a facade. Predatory fish had ways of luring things in to be snapped up in their jaws... Surface dwellers were not much...

Charybdis hung silent in the distance, a bobbing graveyard that held the tattered wreckage of thousands of lives. All light had died in the colony some time ago. Thankfully, those who had stayed behind didn't need the life support systems that would have failed when the power finally died. Of...

"Sure. Joke." He chuckled. Woman would never know him. She simply refused to see the real him and clung to fantasies. Perhaps, if he had grown up as sheltered and cloistered as she... For once, the jealousy of her being the favorite child was gone. He much rather would have been raised by the...

He thought a moment, then nodded. "Very well. I will gather everything important and move in as soon as I can. The rest the guard can pack and bring by in the morning." It was best to agree with her for now. He intended to hold to that. Everything important. The sphere was important. Though he...

He frowned at her, his eyes flicking down at her hand with a hard cast. His muscles tensed with the restraint to not to pull away from her or otherwise retaliate. "I never said she was family. She is my friend and a good friend at that. She doesn't deserve being ghosted or poor treatment when...

He relaxed slightly, but did not let up his guard. She could still see his rightful place to be within a dungeon. This was still a dangerous situation. He could not slip up here. "You mean to bring me out of hiding then." He closed his eyes. He didn't have much time to get away at this rate. It...

Sedna fidgeted in the cockpit of the Goddess, hands shaking, heart pounding. Butterflies fluttered around in her stomach, the reason she had not bothered to eat before leaving this morning. Not that they would have had time for that. Aberon seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. She had had no time...

He raised an eyebrow at his sister, then lowered it as quickly, getting up to walk the room, feigning interest in the art. If she could so casually jail one of the people who she cared for... "Of course not. If not for Charles, my ass would thoroughly have been handed to me on a plate. Coming...

"Let's start with you not dying. What good would it do for you to die throwing yourself alone at this? There's more strength in humanity than that thing is giving us credit for. Rally the nations, stand together, fight back. Don't just roll over and die because this cursed being told you to...

He frowned down at her, stiffening. "We are not lambs to be slaughtered at the whim of something that would treat us as puppets. I don't need to convince anyone of anything. Anything that can backlash at descendants for something they ordered is a cruel and unfeeling thing that won't bother to...

Of course they did... They were always protecting him. Even when they shouldn't have. He bit back his anger, allowing her to continue. Some of his anger had quelled at least, at the vulnerable sight of his sister. The girl he had known, not the cold queen who wore her face. His back stiffened...

"So then that will happen to me as well." Definitely not going to have kids. How like this family to doom everyone in the line. Why couldn't he have just truly been born to the people who had raised him? He had terrible luck in this life. And this only left more questions and gave exactly zero...

Sedna shifted her weight in an uncomfortable manner. This was all too much to take in. The world at stake against some ultimate deity like being that even Aberon himself couldn't defeat alone? What could they do to help?! They were like tiny little pet ants for Aberon. And yet the deity himself...

This was getting quite uncomfortable very quickly. James averted his eyes as his sister disrobed. The woman must be losing her mind! Though curiosity could not keep him from looking when she mentioned 'this'. He had braced himself for something unexpected and terrible, but nothing could prepare...

He flinched at her touch, tense as she smiled at him. He may not be good at hiding his discomfort, but he would rather be an open book than a back stabber... Could he trust her? "You are welcome, your highness." His voice remained cold and distant. "I could not leave you behind. How are your...

The two Aquarians moved away when the shotgun went off. They did not interfere, it wasn't like they could harm the god, right? Amka shot the 'Alchemist' a glare anyway. Honestly, such childishness! There were far more important matters here! Sedna frowned at the Alchemist, rubbing her upper...

Being here was uncomfortable for the two women. It was plain on Sedna's face, her dark eyes constantly cast down to the floor or around the rooms, as if looking for escape. Being confined to walls and stone was not something her people did, not like this. Most of their time was spent outside...

James did not bother to speak with his escort. He was in no mood to. He had not been in much a mood to talk to people since getting back from the field and, essentially, being grounded. He sighed, watching the lights of battle flashing in the distance. He should be out there defending the...

The tribe hadn't believed the man, of course. Not until he absorbed the mech that is. Once they finished gawking in shock at the shattered prison of ice, they reverantly placed their hands over their hearts, bowing slightly at the waist and lowering their heads. Even Sedna, inside the Goddess...

The tribesmen turned their attention to the strange man. Dozens of dark colored eyes rest upon him, faces ranging from confusion to contempt. Amka narrowed her eyes at the man, "And who are you?" Sedna removed her trembling hands from the controls, gripping them tightly together to steady...
