The training room was quiet at this hour. Long shadows cast by the tall windows stretched across the floor, soft golden light diffusing through high glass. The air was still, the space echoing only with the soft shift of fabric as Eve moved in silence across the padded floor.
She stood at the...
The room was silent but for the faint hum of the hospital monitors. Afternoon light slanted through the window, turning everything to muted gold, but Eve barely noticed. Her hands rested in her lap, trembling slightly despite herself.
Today was the day.
The bandages were gone now. The healers...
The Vale homestead had begun to stir with the quiet cadence of departure. Valery's voice drifted from indoors — soft, measured, speaking with Mariana in that tone Eve had come to associate with important things. Packing sounds followed. The rustle of linen, the shifting of gear.
But Eve had...
The Vale homestead had long since fallen into sleep.
Beyond its wooden walls, the silver fields of Eshan shimmered beneath the stars, not with frost or dew, but with something older, something ancient, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
Eve sat alone on the back porch, wrapped in a...
The Vale homestead was quiet.
Eve sat up slowly, her blanket still tangled around her legs, the warmth of sleep clinging to her skin. Somewhere inside, Valery breathed steadily in the other room—peaceful, resting, as was her mother. But Eve couldn’t sleep. Not yet. Something pulled at her...
Eevee,
I can't believe how much everything has changed in such a short space of time. Everything is different... and yet I feel like all the important things are still in place.
Going back home was so strange. Seeing my old room, exactly as I left it all that time ago, the world of a small...
Mama,
I'm coming home!
I'm back from Ilum and feel much better, and Master Noble said we can come to Eshan!! I've attached some dates, let me know when is okay for you, and we'll book a shuttle right away.
I can't wait to see you. I've been thinking about it nonstop. I have so much to share...
The pain of Woostri was starting to ease finally, slowly but surely. The darkness of what happened that day had left an undeniable mark on Everest's psyche, and yet ever so slowly was she starting to heal. As part of that healing, she found a desperate need to connect and give love to those...
Mama,
I'm sorry I don't mean to worry you. But I can't lie to you. I'm not okay.
There's a lot of things I can't talk to you about but the war has been really difficult. I just don't want you to panic okay. I love you.
I've spoken with Master Noble and we will be able to come to Eshan soon...
Mama,
I'm sorry it's been a while since my last message. Life at the temple has been non-stop! But everything has been wonderful here.
I have so much to tell you, I'm not even sure where to begin. It's probably best I just talk to you about it all in-person. I have some special news.
I got...
Dear Mama,
I'm really sorry I worried you in my last letter. I promise I'm okay. I had a difficult time after the mission, but I'm feeling better now I promise.
I have some amazing news... Master Noble has taken me on as her formal Padawan! Your Eevee is going to be training under a living...
Hi Mama,
It was so amazing to get your letter! I didn't expect it at all so soon and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw it! Hehe.
I'm so glad you're feeling okay and that Cid is keeping you good company. Picking up sewing again is a great idea by the way! And I'm glad you've been able to...
Hi Mama,
I'm sorry it's taken me a couple of weeks to write this, but I wanted to get settled first before I did. I miss you so much, I can't put it into words how much I miss you. But I want you to know I'm okay, and I'm happy, and I'm being strong.
I've already started making some friends...
