An image of a skykid from the video game Sky: Children of the Light. They wear the sparrow cape and are facing away from the camera and are sitting as if piggybacking, but on empty air.

    Summary

    “I guess I’ve gained quite the reputation in some circles,” Orion said as he thickly swallowed the rest of high-grade clinging to his glossa. “I’m experienced, even if I may not look the part.” Megatronus hummed, seemingly pleased with the answer. Orion wasn’t in the habit of discussing his private life with strangers or colleagues, especially considering what said part of his private life pertained to, but the expression on the gladiator’s face was void of judgment, and he allowed himself to relax.

    “We really do have the same profession. I wouldn’t have guessed,” Megatronus replied, lying back on the couch of the crappy bar. The scraping sound of well used iron-furniture made Orion grimace.

    Or, Megatronus, a gladiator working on the side as a hitman, and Orion Pax, an archivist and sugar baby, misunderstand each other as having the same job when they get hired to infiltrate a Senator's party.

    Summary

    The man waved a hand at her from the doorway. “Hi, Donut.”

    Princess Donut narrowed her eyes at him.

    “Come on, Carl”, Miss Beatrice said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the bedroom. The man nearly stumbled on Princess Donut’s precious Mouse toy that lay on the floor. They both giggled drunkenly. Princess Donut sighed. Another of these kinds of manservants. Princess Donut watched them go, judging harshly.

    Carl. She rolled that name around in her mind. Carl.

    It was a good enough name, she supposed.

    Life through Princess Donut's eyes before the Collapse.

    Summary

    She looked over the ragtag group of injured, bloody, shell-shocked crawlers, really taking the scene in. All of them were still so, so young. Their hardened shells cracked down to their cores.

    One of them was staring at her, she noticed. The rest were busy recovering, talking loudly amongst themselves, but that one crawler was standing shock still, his hand against the wall, stiff legs unsteady under him.

    He looked human, Milk noted. But his race was primal. Carl was his name. Warlord Carl.

    “Milk?” he whispered.

    The first meeting, through Milk's eyes.
