I commissioned an artwork of Sue and Solstice's first meeting AND OH MY DUCK IT CAME OUT SO WELL @SWEET_MINTALITY IS AMAZING. I LOVE how Psychic came out, especially in Solstice's eyes. Yes I'm aware it's not an exact match for the events described but the changes make for a better visual...

Chapter 26: Kinship For the first time in a while, Sue let herself rest for as long as she needed. The surrounding tranquility soothed her as her awareness slowly drifted around, never quite falling back asleep; but not waking up either. Warmth, safety, just enough ambient glow for it to not...

Interlude IV: Investigation It was as if every new day only made this mess of a case even more utterly incoherent. The man stared intently at a chalkboard full of scribbles occupying much of his office. This wasn’t their investigation to be undertaking. Helping the cops as subject matter...

Chapter 25: Acceptance Hearing the weak, ephemeral voice almost toppled them both over, primarily because of Sue freezing in place out of shock. Thankfully, she snapped out of it shortly after, even doubling down on her pace just to find a spot to rest sooner. The sudden shift was rather...

Chapter 24: Damnation “^Aurelia… was Pollux’s mother.^” The words echoed in Sue’s mind, all the implications hitting her one after another. This entire building once belonged to Pollux’s family before they were banished, making her feel uneasy sitting here to begin with. Even more shocking...

Chapter 23: Namesake By the time Sue was done with her retelling, her strained breathing was the only sound filling their nook of the clearing. She wasn’t exactly sure when Spark had left, only that she did at some point. The once-human couldn’t blame her. There’s only so much tending to a...

Chapter 22: Curse For a while, Sue could only stare at the despairing heap. Much of her rational decision making kept urging her to get out of here and ask someone less crippled for help with… whatever this being was. As acutely as she could feel their sorrow, there was still the possibility...

Chapter 21: Freedom Eventually, Sue woke up. She had no idea when that happened, nor did she have much reason to care. Not anymore, at least. There were a few details she could piece together without opening her eyes, and that’s what her mind decided to focus on distracting itself with. She...

Interlude III: Distance For once, her escape had been swift enough. The Windrider gradually slowed down to her equivalent of casual stroll, relaxing from flying faster than all terrestrial beings ran to only flying faster than most of them could run. Her body was used to so much more than...

Chapter 20: Heresy Fortunately for Ginger’s back, the other construction workers expressed their joy at his return in less... abrupt ways. That’s not to say hugs weren’t present. The opposite, if anything. The bipedal rhino might have dwarfed the technicolor lizard to a comical degree, but...

Chapter 19: Treachery Sue came to with a startle, feeling herself jolting forward in shock at the sudden awakening. But her point of view didn’t shift at all. Her mind tried to move her body around, turn her head, her eyes, scream for help. Nothing, again and again. Moments later, the...

Chapter 18: Silence Thankfully for Sue’s strained... everything, Daystar wouldn’t end up stringing her along for very long. She might have known all of nothing about agriculture, but liked to think she had a relatively decent visual memory. Enough so to remember the unusually colored bark of...

Chapter 17: Darkness The tail end of the dream she’d just awoken from kept playing on repeat in Sue’s head as she came to, the vision equally unnerving and aggravating. Not only did neither Night Father nor that “Justice” entity convey anything of importance to her, but now she was tangled...

Interlude II: Absence *ba-ping!* The man let out a deep groan at the umpteenth repetition of that same annoying sound from the company’s email inbox this morning. He gave the bottle of liquor in his hand one last longer look before opting to not put it away after all. It was gonna see...

Interlude I: Remembrance Nearly there. The rumbling thunder of the distant storm was a constant reminder to keep moving. The unpredictable currents surrounding what remained of the archipelago were vicious in their temperament, thrashing aimlessly through the ocean with their master long...

Chatper 16: Justice Thankfully, the point blank recipient of a tidal wave didn’t mind having been splashed once the entire situation was explained to them. Meanwhile, Lilly’s rounds of apology gave Sue enough time to wrap up her own clean-up, letting them head out soon after. The dancer was...

Chapter 15: Warmth The leafy dancer’s reappearance took Sue aback, but she appreciated it greatly. Her wide eyes soon gave way to a soft, giddy smile as she eyed out another peach-like fruit in their hands. Barring Solstice and Sundance, they were the closest to her height out of everyone...

Chapter 14: Sibling The vixen and her student could only stare blankly at each other for a while afterwards. Both of them were trying their hardest to figure out what the other was thinking without resorting to explicit telepathy. Sue was the first to crack as she brought up her excuse. A...

Chapter 13: Bloom With everything that had happened last night and earlier today, Sue could only thank Duck for Astra’s and Joy’s appearance. She was relieved, both at knowing they were doing well after their sudden separation yesterday, and at the fact that Comet would have someone to play...

Chapter 12: Daybreak Sue remembered little of the rest of the day that followed her heart to heart with Solstice. Her exhausted mind kept slipping in and out of consciousness throughout, entire hours reduced to mere moments. Solstice holding her in silence for hours. Being half guided, half...
