Irelia
A quiet calm surrounded the queen Ariata upon walking through the portal. Ears still ringing from the clash of battle left behind in her own world, the stillness of the air made her pounding heart seem louder. She took a quick glance back to make sure the way was closed, then stumbled forward, falling to her knees. The heavy bundle wrapped securely around her chest began to stir at the sudden impact. “Shh now my child,” she crooned softly, “you are safe.” Her blood soaked hands shook while she delicately unwrapped the girl, revealing large grey eyes and a head of jet-black hair.

The Heart of Rebellion
Rian Emerson knew he was going to die. In fact, the precise moment of his death was due to occur in 22 days, 5 hours, and 27 minutes, on the day of his 30th birthday. He supposed he ought to feel lucky for the 10 extra years his father’s good behavior had bought him, but it was difficult to do so when facing imminent execution for the crimes of a grandfather he’d never met. Even if he had more in common with said grandfather then he’d ever had with the father who’d been executed at age 20, months before Rian was born. The limited lifespan of the condemned was the price to be paid when an ancestor rebelled against the Republic. The Republic, after all, was responsible for uniting the survivors of Earth after the great world war and subsequent nuclear near-extinction. The same Republic was also responsible for the totalitarian laws they currently lived under, and the fact that it was seen as reasonable to continue to execute the descendants of rebels. Ideally, the condemned would continue to behave so each generation could live longer and their descendants could someday die again of old age, the perfect insurance that rebelliousness not be passed down. Unfortunately, this concept didn’t sit well with Rian, who decided from a young age not to have children and to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps.
