Blood on the Sand Pt.1
The sun beared down on everything here. The wind howled as the sand stirred. Every now and then you would hear whistling.
Some people would say it's the ghost of settlers, trying to find their way home from the deserts.
Heh, I always thought that was just...
Pari Sylune moved through the healing wing of the Shiraya Sanctuary with the quiet purpose of someone who had learned that urgency did not need to be loud. The halls were always full now, with stretchers lining the curved walls, low voices murmuring in pain or prayer, the soft hum of medical...

It was tradition. And it was the only thing Adelle had left.
Life Day. Her parents traditionally made ryshcate to celebrate. Her old Order used to have exhibitions. Karre Noba's farm decorated a massive tree in its center.
Adelle set down the plate of ryshcate on the sofa and the...

The first of them stepped out of the treeline like a stain bleeding through fabric. No footfall, now crunch of the earth beneath their boots. Just a shape coalescing where there had been only shadow. A hooded figure, tall, narrow, raised a hand and the air in...
Snowpeak Sanctuary slept uneasily. The hangar lay open to the mountains, its great doors framing a sky the colour of bone and frost. Cold air drifted through in slow, steady breaths, carrying the scent of ice and stone and engine oil. Eve stood at its threshold and knew, with a clarity that...
"I don't understand, Eevee..."
Mariana's voice was quiet, threaded with confusion. She stood near the hearth with her hands dusted in flour, the fire low and steady behind her, as if the world beyond the stone walls had not just shifted under their feet. Eve did not soften.
"It isn't safe...
I have been roleplaying for eighteen years - nineteen in February. My very first character was Katarine Ryiah, and throughout this long writing life she has been a source of constant, aching tension. From the very beginning, I didn't love her story, but I loved her, so I kept her. And as I have...
Adrift in the vacuum of space Ko powered down the engines of his starfighter. Taking a break from traveling while the astromech in the rear of the vessel plotted out their course. Ko was really starting to wish that he had a bigger ship. Something that he could actually walk around in and...
Flint wasn't the kind of Devaronian who raised his voice, he didn't need to. His anger radiated like heat off starship hull plating, filling the backroom of the Cantonica skyrail depot until the very air felt poisonous. Kinley Pryse would've spat a joke if she'd had enough breath to shape one...
Not Too Distant Future

The forest pressed close around them, alive with the sound of branches shifting under the weight of the wind. Moonlight struggled to pierce the canopy, breaking through in silvery fragments that flashed across Aiden Porte's face as he guided the small group...

"Happy birthday, my love," he said and lit a candle just for her.
Gently did he cup her cheek, his thumb caressing the smooth stone of her perfectly sculpted lips and chin. She was depitcted with her eyes closed, as if she were but asleep and would one day...
The cell was dark.
Not the kind of darkness that unsettled a mind—but the kind Shade had learned to breathe in since childhood. Cold stone, narrow walls, a faint hum of power restraints threaded through the air like distant static. She sat on the floor with her back to the wall, hands resting...
Aiden slept restlessly, twisted beneath the thin blanket of his quarters, the dim blue glow of the Naboo moon filtering through the shutters and washing soft light over the quiet room. His breathing was slow at first, steady, deep, but then it hit him.
The shift.
That subtle, sickening pull in...
“I thought you were a Starchaser!” Came the call across comms.
I am. Kaia thought back angrily. She didn’t say anything, she just shook her head. “Drift?” She asked her droid. The droid beeped in the affirmative. There was no way a fleet like that should be tracking her convoy. They were small...

The Shiraya Sanctuary lay quiet in the embrace of early dusk, its marble colonnades softened to rose-gold beneath Naboo's sinking sun. The air smelled faintly of water lilies carried on the breeze from the far-off lakes, but nearer still at the heart of the courtyard burned the ceremonial fire...
Kinley Pryse stepped into the care wing of the nursing complex on Ord Mantell, where the walls hummed with the quiet efficiency of med-droids and recycled air. The lighting was soft, but sterile. Too clean, too quiet. She hated the smell of it, antiseptic and endings.
She was without her hat...
