This week's prompt is 'battle within' from Knightress and with it is a story that's a precursor to a different work that some may be familiar with. If not, enjoy the prequel. If you are, also enjoy it. There's also a new prompt thread up for my patrons.
Children of Heaven: Choir of Silence, Chapter 17
The increase in Lefu presence had convinced the brass another major attack was imminent and if the aliens came in force, the Concord needed every ship available to beat them back – and deal with this new threat from the ‘Necros’. Thankfully, at the moment the second alien force was not Command’s priority – if the specs from the Empties prize vessel were right, then the Necros were slower then molasses in hyperspace. And they’d have to go through the Lefu-held systems to reach Concordat space. With luck, those two will kill each other off and save us the trouble.

Children of Heaven, Choir of Silence Chapter 16
Po, as if in a dream, walked towards the strange beasts. He raised his hands, to show that he was not armed. “We are but simple villagers,” he spoke to the demons as their misshapen heads swiveled to face him. “Please – why have you come?”

The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 7
My patrons have cast their votes and voted again for some more Feelings In Hallways, I mean Ozymandias. This chapter gives us more interaction between Harper and Adrianna (kind of hard to avoid when you’re the only two living souls in a city-sized ziggurat). Harper keeps getting the rug pulled out from under her. Getting… Continue reading The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 7
Children of Heaven: Choir of Silence, Chapter 15
Brian looked up at them both, his face white. “The planet…” He brought the image up onto the main viewscreen. Abigail felt her jaw drop open, her knees shaking. She grabbed the Navigation console to steady herself; it was the only thing that kept her from falling.
Weekly Drabble: Seven Most Wanted, and Prompt Thread
This week's prompt comes from Henri Black with 'why not both?' and through the power of editing and redrafting, that reference was lost, but the original story idea from it remains. A return to Horrak-Sarn, everyone's favourite urban hellscape and our adorable little band of ragamuffins. We get to see how they handle trouble when… Continue reading Weekly Drabble: Seven Most Wanted, and Prompt Thread
