Venturia
Egale System
Planet: Senarious
Former Capitol of the Republic

Eleos, a man in his late twenties, stood at a cliff overlooking what at first glance appeared to be a wasteland. He nudged the lip of his lightly worn fedora and turned his back on the landscape he saw. The abandoned city, his home, his past. His open leather jacket billowed slightly in the wind, hindered by the sniper rifle slung across his back. He would wander past this place in the hopes that someone...anyone...survived the catastrophe. No one. Stone faced, he made his way to the forest.
As he walked he thought he heard a voice of someone he knew. "Why are you still here? I thought you wanted to go see the rest of the world?" He turned slightly to where the voice should be. Where the girl should have been sitting, on the remnants of a wall. He smiled with saddened eyes. "I don't know, Neria. I don't know..."

Venturia
Nexion System
Planet: Nexus
Capitol of the Venturian Council

Nexus, known as the great city in the sky. The shining towers and walkways seemed transparent. The glass city bore an elegance that seemed fitting for the Venturian Council, which had been responsible for keeping the peace in the galaxy. Now, it is a haven, a safe zone from the War of Eternity. Lady Avonna, the Head Priestess of the Council walked through the central structure known as the Palace of the Sky. Various tree-like decorations lined the paths. Everything bore the hues of the sunset, even though it was an early morning at Nexus.

"Milady!" One of the caretakers hurried to Avonna.
"Oh? What's wrong?" She spoke with a soothing voice that could almost make anyone forget their sorrows.
"I- I'm sorry to disturb you, b-but..."
"Take your time. It's alright."
"Well...uhm...ok...uh I have a daughter that always wanted to see both the Palace and wanted to meet you, so I was wondering...if...if-"
Avonna smiled and helped finish her question. "If she could? Of course, it would be my pleasure."
"Oh thank you milady!" And with that the caretaker ran off, happy that the Lady had accepted.
Avonna watched the young woman disappear around the corner, her smile faded when silence hung once more on the air.

Venturia
Helios System
Duon Orbit
Delta Division Flagship

Commander Sullivan stood at the helm of his great ship. The bridge crew worked busily at the various controls. The ancient captain looked at the screen with the image of the planet below. He scratched at his trimmed grey beard, contemplating what would come next. Then his thoughts were interrupted by the monotone voice of his lieutenant.
"Commander, I seriously ask you reconsider. After all the boy has been through..."
"Navarre...there are some things that are meant to be. He will come when he's ready. Though sometimes we just need to help give him a nudge in the right direction."
"Of course..."
"Tell me, who did you choose to go and recruit him?"
"A young girl named Kiara, a technical supervisor of the Maverick division of our fighters."
"Good...good..."
"Sir?"
"Nothing. Could you do me a favor and check in on the Mavericks?"
"Of course."
Navare turned and briskly left the bridge.
As he worked his way through the passages of the ship, he seldom fidgeted in his step when others were present. But on the occasional point when there was no one, he would seem to be almost anxious, running his hand through his jet-black hair.

Venturia
Venion System
Planet: Nox
Manor of Ethereal Night

Blue flames flickered in the torches that were scattered along the walls and pillars of the great hall that was the throne room of the ancient mansion. The hues of darkness hung on the walls like an ghostly curtain. In the dim light, and old man with features that seemed to have been chiseled from marble sat in the great throne. His red eyes seemed dim. To most, he would seem dead, or merely a statue. But everyone knew better. Erebos, Lord of Nox, was not dead.

City of Spirits
The main square of the great city was quiet. The occasional cloaked person made their way through the darkness that was the day like a wraith. In the shadows, people made their livings and went about their peaceful lives. Under Erebos's protection, the people feared nothing. There was no crime, there was no disease. In essence, it was a utopia.

Venturia
Sol Inceneron System
Planet: Inopia
Temple of the Obsidian Gods

Dalia worked her way to the lower level of the entrance hall of the old temple, where it was cooler. Once she found a small crevice large enough, she found the most comfortable resting position she could manage. "Finally...peace...and...quiet..."
Her day was marked by the usual hunt for resources...which more often than not meant robbing any hapless traveler that ventured this far down the caverns. In this planet, it was survival of the fittest. And she was going to survive.

???

Mima found herself following this stange ghost girl through what seemed a never ending passage. Water flowed along either side forming a curtain between the edge of the path and the empty darkness. A faint blue light could be seen in the troughs of water, providing the only visibility in the strange place. The patterned stone path kept going on...
As Mima continued to follow her mysterious guide, she glanced over to the curtain of water. She noticed that the water was in fact flowing upward, to the troughs of the ceiling which looked like a mirror image of the floor. She kept going. The ghost girl seemed only a faint light as she kept a fair distance between her and Mima. She kept going.
Suddenly she found herself in a strange room with a great door standing in the middle. The girl she had been following placed a hand on the chiseled doorway and slowly, the doors opened. A blinding light greeted Mima and then she found herself lying in a field. Or so she thought at first. But the first thing she felt was a nagging pain throughout her body, as though something was taken from her...She couldn't explain it, but she felt different. she looked over herself. Ghost tail, blue clothes, blue hat, green hair. Everything was the same...but she still felt as though she wasn't herself...

Planet: Dua
Isle of Spirits - The Mirror Sea

A small sail boat bobbed lightly in the small cove of the star-shapped island. Nearby, a young man rested against a outcrop of rock. He was wearing a red bandana and jacket, yellow shirt, black pants, and glasses. He used a brown messenger bag as a pillow. The sudden bright light woke him from his sleep. He looked over the rock and saw a green haired woman laying in the grass. "Hm? well...I guess I wasn't crazy on coming here after all..."
