A Princess… a real, honest to god, princess.
My mind had struggled to register that. The past half hour alone was just about enough to overwhelm my head with an inundation of experiences completely removed from my reality. From magic, to mythical races, to talking birds, and an entirely a...

Hey guys so I'm finishing up Chapter 4 and I realized that I should add a bit of foreshadowing and a bit of edits to Chapter 3 to make it transition better to Chapter 4. It's not a lot of changes but I think it makes Chapter 3 much better so yeah! Here's a revised version for Chapter 3! Enjoy! :D...

“United Ascendancy?” I parroted back almost immediately as I turned towards Vir’s faceplate, which at this point was displaying an undeniable expression of abject confusion. “Elijah had only talked about the United Nations and briefly mentioned its various sub-organizations throughout our...

I never really had dreams in this place. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that our bunks were effectively just concrete slabs with a light mesh of some 3rd, 4th, or even some 5th generation hand-me-down mattress from who knows where. Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that a ...

Orientation. That was what the blue-robed elf spoke of when he, and the red-robed professor, escorted me towards yet another expansive room. This one more resembled the grand dining halls of old European palaces, gaudy, but still somehow tasteful. It was large, far larger than even the foyer, wit...

Hello everyone! I've done some revisions to the second chapter because I wanted to put more emphasis on introducing Emma as a character earlier on rather than leaving it to later chapters. As I write Chapter 3, I started to realize that it made more narrative sense this way, so here's a newly rev...

The general mood in the chow-hall that night was the usual quiet, despondent one, one that I’d come to know and hate. Yet it was one of the only few times that I had the opportunity to interact and socialize with the small group of friends I’d managed to scrounge up from my years toiling away...

We agreed to this meeting. The humans, as alien and bizarre as their methods were, were nothing if not entirely peaceful and civilized throughout each and every one of our interactions. Their practices were barbaric, yes, and their reticence to conform to the galactic norm was indeed disturbing...

They say that going up against a human in combat is blatant suicide. They say that even in a seemingly even playing field, with nothing present but two bodies (albeit one behind steel, composites, and glass), that there was nothing you could hope to do to even lay a scratch on a human before you ...

Alex had always been a dear friend. A human friend, sure, but a friend nonetheless. Whilst most see humans as these nigh-untouchable beings of benevolence and might, I see past that. Perhaps it’s just because of my human’s own unique eccentricities. Or perhaps even, it’s something beyond th...
