Nova Lunosis - Part 2
Avea felt her feet leave the ground, drifting upwards into the starfire galaxy. Her limbs frantically scrambled to retain her balance, while her wild eyes looked around to see the rest of the claimed with the same bewildered expressions. Floating higher and higher, nothing tethering her to the ground, until suddenly they passed through the barrier of cosmic mist. Shielding them from the prying eyes of the luminaries below, who disappeared behind the shimmering mist. Leaving only the eight Claimed floating in this cosmic plane, all alone for the first time since they'd met. The galaxy stretched out all around them, vast and breathing, strewn with cold constellations and slow-drifting blue nebulae, it's celestial light unfolding softly all around them, as if the universe itself were watching in quiet wonder.

Nova Lunosis: part 1
Avea’s feet ached, every one of her limbs burning with fatigue as she strained to hold her arms in an elegant dancer’s pose. She was repeating the same steps for what felt like the hundreth time, her movements growing increasingly stiff and labored.

The Codex
Avea stood beside Dolunay with the Pillar of the Cyntherial moon ignited behind them, with a burning ultram blue. Glowing brightly with those strange symbols almost like scripture along the pillar, flickering as they tried to morph clearly unsure of how to become one. Dolunay's massive body overshadowed her, with a completely stone face. He refused to look down at her, instead directing those cold black eyes to the rest of his fellow galad, as though he were sizing them up for battle. Avea could feel the pulsing current between them from uniting their uri, she might as well have blacked out standing on her floating rock in front of this monster that had brought her mother here. She recalled the movements Dolunay made, they were measured, controlled, and it was almost for a single moment he thought he was alone. Until the mark glowed brightly on his forehead and his uri shot out towards Avea.

The Claimed
As she stood among the seven claimed, all Avea could think about was her mother's face, with her pleading eyes begging her to leave, to understand. But she didn't understand any of this, only that the longer she indulged the Supreme, the more entangled she would become. The so-called 'claimed' had configured themselves into a circle around the Supreme, all perfectly aligned within the Octave. They all stood in order of their lunar moons, and Avea, as the eighth moon, was the last one to complete the cycle.

Majesty Creature
One moment, Avea was drifting into the cosmic cloud, and the next, she was plummeting, her face landing harshly against solid ground. Her body lay sprawled across the cold surface, and truthfully, Avea felt she lacked the strength to even lift her head. That is, until the murmurs around her.

Mirrored Ripples
There was an endless ocean of luminous light, almost blinding in its lustre. Sailing effortlessly through the sea, there was a feeling of weightlessness that took over Avea, as though she were no longer bound to any physical form. The heavy burden of reality couldn't anchor her to the ground.

No Trace
Avea felt her heart lurch into her throat, as soon as her feet leapt off the ledge into the dark abyss below. As she felt herself become weightless, and the moonstone locked in its beautiful capsule glowed before lifting off her chest. A beacon in the dark, and just like everything else in the outlands the trench wasn't what it seemed. The mystic air around her caught her, and carried her gently to the ground. Avea felt her feet hit the ground below to the sunken depths where no other living soul could be heard. She didn't feel scared, instead she could feel the hum of the portal like a subtle melody echoing out to her. "Alright let's find where you are" she whispered closing her eyes, the moonstone around her neck recognising the call of power guided her through the narrow escape towards the end where she saw the opening of the dome.

The Weapon
Avea Maxwell unleashed a triumphant howl into the roaring winds, embracing the sensation of flight and unbridled freedom. The makeshift sand skiff rattled against the powerful gusts of wind, a testament to the scrap pieces she had ingeniously fashioned together. Flimsy goggles flapped wildly on her face, and her lean arms stirred up and around the dried cracked planes. The distant wail of sirens and the piercing spotlights from guard watch towers erupted around her, shining outwards from behind the wall, but she was too far gone. While Guardwatch could remotely destabilize hovercycles from a distance, the unique design of her stand skiff left them powerless. An ancient relic relying on nothing, but the steady winds and silent prayers. The echoes of the chase faded away, leaving Avea and Bebop alone in the vast outlands, gliding past the skeletal plants that stood as a memorial to her mother.

Break out
By the time the cart finally came to a stop, Avea still hadn’t figured out a plan. The portal would close at the zenith tonight, and she didn't have much time left. She sat in the creaky cart as it screeched to a halt, in an dark abandoned warehouse. Where, rust had slowly crept across the metalworks, steadily eroding its once-sturdy foundation. The only sign of movement was the metal crates rumbling in on the train tracks, their screeching echo haunting like a ghost train.

The Rat
Avea was still clutching the stone when she awoke. Blinking away the cloudiness of her vision she could just barely make out the lining of the steel walls that ran along the ceiling, where a loose flickering over light hung. Her body felt heavy with a deep aching in her bones. That was when she heard the two hushed voices above her, Avea followed the sound of the voices and felt the tension leave her body realising she hadn't left Brigg's bunker. Recognising the blurred outline of Brigg's hunched body and Bebop's spherical bodice floating in the air beside him.

Memory Echoes
The black waters had swallowed any faint ripples of light, leaving only the unknown dread of something slithering beneath. Of course Avea nor her mother's memory self could see beneath the surface. The darkness had defiled the waters, so that it had even destroyed the glistening reflection of the glowing moons floating above. A piercing cry broke through the vast silence, Avea's eyes fell upon the babe nestled in the mother's robes. She had to remind herself that this was her past self inside her mothers memories, it was unsettling, as though she were watching her life through glass. "Shhhh my girl don't cry, I won't let them take you," her mother's voice was low and yet melodic, like a lullaby whispered into the night. As she tried to soothe the crying babe tucked under her ceremonial cloak, that had been torn and tattered to unruly shreds.

The Orb
Avea stayed close behind Briggs whose buckled metal shoes with every footstep sent shaking vibrations through the pipeline. They didn't speak choosing to fall into a sullen silence that was driving Avea slowly insane, as she was now twitching with an anxiousness that made her want to rip out of this pipeline with her bare hands. She had so many thoughts squirming in the back of her mind, that there was now a fierce throbbing behind her temple. She was tired at staring at Brigg's hunched back that moved with a dangerous grace, and all the while trying to understand her instinct to trust this man. The network of pipes were all interconnected throughout the Valent with endless possibilities of where it could lead out. For all she know Briggs was planning on leading her straight to the guardwatch patrols as payback for ambushing him. Or better yet take her straight to Cyrus Elrod to collect on that bounty.
