A Place Among the Stars: Chapter Three

Tags: Being the legal representative of Teniel Cae was, to be frank, a shit position. Manjeet Jiāng had taken the position out of a combination of sympathy and greed. He’d been following Teniel’s case closely, having at the time been studying law on one of the Levir sub-planets, Jure. He’d seen the speeches. He’d also seen how quickly protests turned to riots with the right push. It was hard not to sympathize, especially when Manjeet…

A Place Among the Stars: Chapter Two

Tags: Teniel Cae, whose friends called him Ten—and it never took him long to make friends—was currently wishing he was not on an oxygen-based world. If he could breathe through his gills and not his mouth and nose, the fact he was being smothered would be a lot less of a problem. Still, he couldn’t hold it against the Osith currently suffocating him. From what he’d heard, it had been a long time since she’d…

This Little Light: Chapter Three

Vacation Days Kairi was absolutely certain she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. Too much had happened, and her mind was spinning with it all. Her master was gone—or more accurately, she, Kairi, was gone from her master. She’d been with the Moonshadow family for almost her entire life, been with Bezdeh almost her entire life. She’d built a place for herself there. It wasn’t a perfect one, she was aware, but things could have…

This Little Light: Chapter Two

I.O.U. Khldom, god of justice, ran an idle finger along the edge of the paper he read. It was thin and weak, cheap paper that was so worn with age–despite only being, by his calculations, under two decades old–that it had to be held in a transparent sleeve to prevent damage. It was court evidence, all of it; all of the miscellaneous papers scattered across his desk were, for a dozen different cases. He rarely…
