    Summary

    Cerydra’s eyes are bright with amusement, and she challenges. “Would you really be against it if I asked you to?”

    Hysilens frowns, turns the possibility of it in her head, and mumbles. “...No.”

    “Not even a little bit?”

    “I will resist a little.” She concedes, both hands raised lightly in surrender. “If you ask me to do so.”

    Summary

    “My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”

    Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…

    “Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.

    But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.

    “Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”


    "Twist the knife, Helektra."

    Summary

    This was the fourth feast that Cerydra had missed. Life on the campaign trails rarely afforded her time to rest or celebrate, but when her Dux Gladiorum struts into the command tent, clearly displeased at her, what can Cerydra do but go along with Hysilens’ demands?

    Summary

    Love — boring, stupid love — is quite frankly, for losers.

    Messes like the ones she and Ruan Mei make are far more interesting.
