    The initiate coughed more, water coming out of her mouth and nose. "You don't look fine." Her blunt tone cut through the coughing fit. "How long does it take you to heal from...this?" A pale hand rubbed at her bloodshot eyes, allowing her to get a better, albeit slightly blurry, look at him...

    After the explosion, Nyxella remained unconscious as the waves pulled her along. Both her brain and body remained idle. The thoughts faded and the light went from white to black. He took the brunt of the force and yet she lay there, bobbing along with a peaceful look painted on her pale face...

    "Hm?" She looked up, sensing he was being sarcastic. "It's not an insult, I'm just saying we are very different people, you know? Like night and day...but more literally I suppose." There was a thoughtfulness behind her ramblings. "Entirely literally actually." She bumped into him as he...

    "I don't think they'd let in an underage girl just because she wants to have a look 'round, do you?" She laughed, but had an almost fearful look on her face. "Plus, I fear I will be traumatized by the things I see in there. That's why I asked you. You seem to be familiar with it." She eyed...

    "Yeah, yeah. I bet you only manage to because you get kicked out of the places before you even get in bed with someone." She rolled her eyes, twisting the razor around. "Do they even have beds in those places? What are they like?" She had begun to let her intrusive thoughts get the best of...

    "That's...disgusting." She took one large step away from him, wiping the hand she touched his clothes with on her dress. "Do you not worry you'll get some magically enhanced syphilis or something? I can't imagine you'd be top of your class much longer if your brain is rotting." What's that...

    The older dreadlord would be the recipient of an angry glare as he stepped in front of Nyx, preventing her from carrying out what she was assigned to do. “Whatever.” She mumbled but obeyed his orders. He was, after all, much more experienced than her. She followed closely behind, peeking...

    "Um..." She let her hand flop to her side, watching Elias stand up. She handed one of the articles of clothes that landed at her feet but turned her gaze away as he dressed. "Are you sure you are? I reckon they wouldn't have thrown you out if you were." She tried to joke, laughing softly at...

    We'll take a look. And then what? What if they get ambushed? What if no one is even there? What if what they came for is currently burning or sinking to the bottom of the ocean? What if it's a trap? Nyx relied heavily on the stars to guide her. She liked being able to plan. She was...

    Vel Anir was a strange place during the day. Hoards of people gathered to buy fruits and vegetables and whatever else it was people were selling at their little stalls just to make enough money to feed their families for another day. What an unfortunate life, fighting for your next meal like a...

    “Okay…” She grabbed the spyglass from Edric. “Searching for what?” She looked through it, quickly closing in on the ship. It looked like a ship. A perfectly fine ship. A ship that was definitely not on fire as per her only instructions. “It looks fine, what’s wrong with it?” She handed...

    Finally a nap. If there was one thing Nyx actually truly loved in this existence, it was sleeping. The inconsistent schedule set upon her by The Academy often left the poor girl completely exhausted, searching for any moment to rest. Much like a cat, she would sleep anytime and anywhere...

    "Mhm." She continued her staring, sighing quietly the stars settled. They had done well so far, but the stars couldn't tell her the future. Only the present. She could confirm that their target was not going anywhere for now. Finally some reassurance. "Sounds good." She would simply nod...

    They kill. Of course they do. It was not the answer she was hoping for. After all would any of them be where they were now if that were not the case? She certainly would not be standing on this ship with him had she not been the 'natural disaster' that devastated her small community near...
