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 27
The bridge of the Rose was cramped this morning, with every Frr'a'narr'ah taking her place in the circle of Mothers, and even Francisco and Night Star were in attendance. Lianna, the newest member of the circle, sat just behind and to Strong Soul's...
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 13
"No," Firebreather said across the table, his voice firm and unyielding, "you can't hit the ship there. It's too far along in its route, we need to hit it earlier." "If it's done with most of its route, then it'll be ripe for the picking," Night Star...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 15
The Ferret and the Mrr'tani Pride drifted side by side in the void, the bulk of another tug, the Sisko, blocking the view of all but a small corner of the little ball of ice that was Omeron. There was hardly any population on the planet, as it was...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 6
The Shinsayasa Vineyard reminded Strong Soul of Airgidbaille so badly that she had to keep from looking over the hill to find her cottage. Every so often, she'd catch her eyes wandering, trying to spot S'cree on the wing or one of Marcus' elk wandering...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 7
Strong Soul was expecting Paradiso Four to be a grungy and run-down planet, full of pirates and thugs, and the entire journey across hyper to the coordinates that Stargazer provided, she was wondering what they were going to find when they arrived,...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 9
Part 2 - Warrior "You're sure about this, love?" Night Star asked, turning from his customary seat on the bridge to face her. "You know that there's no going back from this. If we start this, then they're never going to stop looking for you." The...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 10
Docking was a routine maneuver that hardly required any attention from the human occupants of either ship, and Strong Soul left Micah and Jules to take care of the details between themselves. With a tiny feeling of emptiness, she drew back from 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 Warrior's Heart, Chapter 5
The joke among the spacers, as Night Star told it, was that Damrok was very aptly named by the first colonists that set foot on it. They said, "Well, we finally made it to this damn rock," and that was the way that it came to be. Looking out the...
A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 4
There were so many goodbyes that had to be said before they could finally depart Mss'ranaw, and Strong Soul sat in her now-familiar right hand seat in the bridge of the Mrr'tani Pride, reflecting on just how many friends she'd made in the short time...
