A Psalm Between Worlds
Crowds flocked into the capital. The masses who emptied into Tafar cheered, sang, chanted, and danced to the drums. Citizens from as far north as Ker and as far south as Mer stood shoulder to shoulder while dragon horns drowned individual thoughts. The white flags of the monarchy danced in the dust while high and low-born alike prayed for Queen Takah once word spread from the palace that her labor had begun.

Divided Paths: CH 2
On the way there I changed my look and car back to normal and went to work my usual day, the only topic that could be talked about in the entire building was Lexar and his evil deeds “It's incredible how this man has the entire population manipulated to such extent nobody even questions anything” I thought empty minded, still thinking if by any mean I could save Lexar, knowing that if there was any trace of my involvement I'd completely ruin my plans and my side of this 'destined path' “The only thing I can do is visit him one last time as his caravan transports him towards Albatraz, it is on another side of the country, flying him would be considered risky so I might be able to catch up with the caravan and have some minutes with Lex" I thought as the minutes and hours moved so painfully slow it felt everything was moving in slow motion, as every busy day usually is in Xantrac corp, I signed many documents, met with many suits and kept grinding to expand my company and my political reaches around the country, at least this kept me entertained while night time came. I pulled some strings and finally got some answers for when and where Lexs caravan was leaving for Albatraz.

The Princess of Egypt
In the heart of Ancient Egypt, where the sun shimmered gold upon the Nile's generous banks, the tale of a princess destined for greatness began to unfold. It was a land of mystique, where the ancient pyramids cast long shadows over the sand, where humans conversed with gods, and where secrets were as abundant as the grains of sand that carpeted the vast desert. The grand Pharaoh's palace, a testament to Egypt's grandeur, was home to Princess Anippe, the heroine of our tale. Anippe was the Pharaoh's sole daughter, a jewel in Egypt's royal crown. Her spirit was as fiery as the desert sun and as relentless as the Nile, and her azure eyes held an insatiable curiosity that mirrored the wisdom of the kingdom's scholars. She was born amidst the pomp of royalty, but her soul yearned for discovery. From a young age, Anippe questioned everything around her, delving into the mysteries of her kingdom's traditions, her ancestors, and the world she was destined to govern.

One such desperate soul was Aurelia, her face illuminated by the electric glow as she raced through the nocturnal cityscape. A woman on the run, hunted by the omnipresent government, the Collective, after committing an unthinkable crime. Aurelia was not always a fugitive. She was once a reputable codebreaker in the employ of the Collective. Tasked with decoding the most encrypted communications, she held a position of trust, working diligently behind layers of concrete and high-grade steel deep within the government's monolithic headquarters. Her life took a dark turn when she stumbled upon a mysterious transmission, the Sequence.
