A Servant's Heart, Chapter 21
Chapter 21 "Keeper?" Night Star's voice came from the door to the hold. Strong Soul didn't need to hear his voice to know that he was coming, either. She could feel his presence down the hall. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 19
The pain was back when Strong Soul opened her eyes. The lights had yet to be turned on in their small room off the boiler room, but even in the darkness, she felt like something was boring through her eyes and into the back of her skull. She couldn't...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 18
Chapter 18 The air became closer and the musky scent of fur much stronger as Six led Strong Soul and Stargazer deeper into the structure. The only light in the area was from small torch-like lights set into the walls and ceiling, lending everything an...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Sitting atop a stack of cargo containers in the hold, Strong Soul had a good view out the open hold doors. She sat and watched as the robotic heavy loaders made their way in and out of the Mrr'tani Pride's hold, carrying out some of the...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 8
The Spacer's Legs almost exactly matched the image in Strong Soul's mind of how she thought it would look. Garish neon lights covered nearly every surface, and though the clientele was generally washed, they presented an image of a particularly rough...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 9
Chapter 9 There was something that Meriah had never thought about when it came to space travel. Here she was, off the planet for the first time, and all she could think about was how close in everything was. There was no way around it, it was boring....
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Meriah swam slowly back to the surface of consciousness, gradually feeling the world around her resolve into something solid, and she found herself laying on a comfortable bed with the scent of her forest all around her. For a moment, with...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 20
Chapter 20 "They were waiting for us," Stargazer said when Strong Soul burst through the hatch onto the bridge. She took only a moment to look through the windows to the swirling colors in the blackness that was hyper outside the window. It was a...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 26
Strong Soul found herself wandering the corridors of the Rose when she wasn't needed on the bridge, and now that they were well and truly away from the scene of the battle and on their way back to Mss'ranaw, the small fleet had little use for her....
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 12
It was different traveling with so many Mrr'tani. The thought that just a short time ago, being surrounded by all the others who were constantly in motion, diligently working at their tasks to keep the Ferret on course and on time, would have been one...
A Warrior's Heart Chapter 11
The human crew's mess hall stank of human sweat and blood when the door slid to the side at Strong Soul's touch to the release. She stood in the doorway with Stargazer behind her and two of the Ferret's Mrr'tani crew on either side behind him. The...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 19
Strong Soul pulled back from the link with Melissa enough that she could feel the rest of her Mrr'tani, leaving Melissa sitting in the Captain's chair, the whites of her eyes still coal black with the Frr'a'tan'lass'iah's power. She fumbled with the...
