Summary
“My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”
Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…
“Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.
But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.
“Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”
"Twist the knife, Helektra."

Summary
When she arrives at the conference room, however, it’s the very last thing she expects.
Saria sits on top of the table, leaning against it, looking all too unbothered. She’s just as built as Silence remembers, if not more so, biceps and thighs straining against the fabric of her uniform. Silence watches, as she takes a drag from a cigarette, and blows it into a vent on the ceiling.
She has to bite the inside of her cheek so she doesn’t scream, and she can taste the tang of copper on her tongue.
Eventually, after Silence had stood in the doorway for much too long, Saria notices her, and throws her a grin. “Hi, Olivia.”
Silence marches right up to her, and swipes the cigarette from her hand, fury burning in her expression. “You don’t get to call me that anymore,” She says, voice low, and fierce. Then, she takes a step back, and flicks the stolen cig into the trash can. “And don’t smoke inside.”Bookmarked by Manarkin_Ket

Summary
They were too alike. Venus knew her too well and knew when and where she was going and why. The leader of the inner Guardians still held her trauma and paranoia from the past, despite her cheery nature. Even though Serenity could protect herself in the peaceful future that she made, Venus was still very, very, very protective of her.
