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...
The office was too quiet. Even the soft hum of the holoprojector felt sharp in the air. Piles of datapads surrounded her like a barricade — reports, requisitions, briefings — and still, Eve couldn’t make herself see any of them.
Her eye traced the words, but they blurred. Numbers, names...
[Part 1]
The house had quieted to a tender stillness. Beyond the windows, the meadows whispered under a veil of moonlight, and the cicadas sang their slow, rhythmic lullaby to the night. Inside, the hearth burned low and golden, the light flickering softly over the old wooden beams and the worn...
The air was softer here. Getting colder this time of year, but nowhere near biting like the kind that clung to the high ridges around Snowpeak Sanctuary. Here, the chill carried the scent of loam and grass, the quiet rhythm of the meadows breathing under an open sky. Eve walked with her hood...
[Following: Fire And Flame]
The storm had swallowed the enclave. Wind howled across the cliffs like a wounded thing, dragging veils of snow in furious spirals that battered against the windows of Eve's office. The scent of old wood and incense lingered faintly in the air, mixing with the dry...
Tigris slept heavy against her, leg hooked over Eve's thigh, arm pressed tight around her ribs. Isari was curled at their feet, ears twitching with dream-sounds only she could hear. The chamber was steeped in quiet, but Eve lay wide awake, her gaze fixed on the ceiling beams. Her body was still...
Night lay heavy over the mountains, the world outside washed in silver light. The office was quiet but for the faint scratch of pen on parchment, and the occasional soft clink as she set her teacup down. Isari slept at her feet, the slow rise and fall of her breathing matching the hush in the...
The training room was quiet at this hour. Long shadows cast by the tall windows stretched across the floor, soft golden light diffusing through high glass. The air was still, the space echoing only with the soft shift of fabric as Eve moved in silence across the padded floor.
She stood at the...
The room was silent but for the faint hum of the hospital monitors. Afternoon light slanted through the window, turning everything to muted gold, but Eve barely noticed. Her hands rested in her lap, trembling slightly despite herself.
Today was the day.
The bandages were gone now. The healers...
The Vale homestead had begun to stir with the quiet cadence of departure. Valery's voice drifted from indoors — soft, measured, speaking with Mariana in that tone Eve had come to associate with important things. Packing sounds followed. The rustle of linen, the shifting of gear.
But Eve had...
The Vale homestead had long since fallen into sleep.
Beyond its wooden walls, the silver fields of Eshan shimmered beneath the stars, not with frost or dew, but with something older, something ancient, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
Eve sat alone on the back porch, wrapped in a...
The Vale homestead was quiet.
Eve sat up slowly, her blanket still tangled around her legs, the warmth of sleep clinging to her skin. Somewhere inside, Valery breathed steadily in the other room—peaceful, resting, as was her mother. But Eve couldn’t sleep. Not yet. Something pulled at her...
Eevee,
I can't believe how much everything has changed in such a short space of time. Everything is different... and yet I feel like all the important things are still in place.
Going back home was so strange. Seeing my old room, exactly as I left it all that time ago, the world of a small...
Mama,
I'm coming home!
I'm back from Ilum and feel much better, and Master Noble said we can come to Eshan!! I've attached some dates, let me know when is okay for you, and we'll book a shuttle right away.
I can't wait to see you. I've been thinking about it nonstop. I have so much to share...
The pain of Woostri was starting to ease finally, slowly but surely. The darkness of what happened that day had left an undeniable mark on Everest's psyche, and yet ever so slowly was she starting to heal. As part of that healing, she found a desperate need to connect and give love to those...
Mama,
I'm sorry I don't mean to worry you. But I can't lie to you. I'm not okay.
There's a lot of things I can't talk to you about but the war has been really difficult. I just don't want you to panic okay. I love you.
I've spoken with Master Noble and we will be able to come to Eshan soon...
Mama,
I want to go home. Can I come home soon?
I need to see you. I really miss you.
Eevee
Mama,
I'm sorry it's been a while since my last message. Life at the temple has been non-stop! But everything has been wonderful here.
I have so much to tell you, I'm not even sure where to begin. It's probably best I just talk to you about it all in-person. I have some special news.
I got...
