    “Do… I… know you?” Hoshea asked, wincing under the weight of the Stelloid on top of him “You killed him!” The Stelloid hissed. “Now I’m going to kill you.” • • • • • Hoshea opened his eyes blurrily. His whole body was sore; was he dead? The ground was dirty and smelled like smoke; Read more

    Lira shook her head, “You doubt the strength of Mars! Mars will endure somehow. We are the gods of war. We are the immortal in spirit!
