“Hey, kiddo. Wake up.” Litvir blinked, then rubbed their eyes. Once their eyes were somewhat cleared, Litvir glanced around. They weren’t in the same place. Someone had moved Litvir while they were asleep. They hadn’t moved far though. They seemed to be in a medical-related tent. But there was commotion outside. Whispers. Lots of emotions. … Read more

Litvir could smell smoke. Bad smoke. Although Litvir was supposed to be asleep like everyone else, they could definitely smell that something was wrong. They quickly got up and glanced out of their tiny window, but they didn’t see smoke. Mostly because it was dark. Feeling concerned, Litvir climbed out of bed and quickly put … Read more

“What do you mean, there are no lessons today?” “There are no lessons today.” Litvir peered through the window looking into the empty classroom, then turned back to their teacher, Tekni. Tekni was there to set up an art activity for later in the day involving paper and glue, and thankfully, they had caught Litvir … Read more

“So, how are you doing?” Dalosisaar asked as Kohra and Litvir both sat down. Kohra shrugged. “I’m honestly fine. Just finished a university project, and I finished it early, so I have some extra free time.” “Ah, good. Litvir, how are you doing? Elkay informed me that you were upset yesterday.” Litvir squirmed nervously. “Was… … Read more

“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I need you! I have questions! I do not know who or how to ask!” Elkay was quietly reading a book in his office, taking a well deserved break. He’d been running all over the place recently, mostly with a lot of legal stuff, helping Aesop with making the Torr less … Read more

The study hall was busy today. It was coming up to the end of the school year, so most young Rethans had exams to prepare for. The tests weren’t until the end of May, but the teachers had all explained that it was better to prepare early than to rush everything at the last minute. … Read more

“Are you busy right now?” Litvir glanced up from their packet of potato crisps. They were just sitting on the sofa, staring blankly ahead. “Oh, hello Kyr Relkir. I am not busy. Do you… need me?” “Not in particular…” Relkir sat down next to Litvir. Litvir was a good 40cm taller than Relkir, despite being … Read more

The sofa was soft. Very soft. Fabric covered and fluffy. The cushions were filled with feathers and the seats were backed up by a weird foam. Either way, Litvir was feeling very, very comfortable right now. Sure, Litvir had several beds, but none of them were as comfortable as the sofa Litvir was currently lying … Read more

Most Rethan kids stayed within their local Junior Stratos sub-legion, where they’d live together and learn together at the same time, and they only went home on the weekends. Litvir though normally stayed until Monday morning, at the barracks of their sub-legion, only occasionally staying with one of the other Twelve Anew. Either with Elkay … Read more

The final bell for school echoed across the Junior Stratos Sub-Legion, signalling the end of the work day. Normally, Litvir would have hated that, because they knew they’d have to rush back to their tiny room in the main barracks, do as much homework as possible and then immediately rush off to do their actual … Read more

After-school activities were common at the Junior Stratos, and there was often several after-school activities every day, set up for all sorts of interests for young Rethans. Litvir though normally missed these fun extra lessons, and would spend what little spare time they had in the study halls, trying to do as much homework as … Read more

It felt wrong, not wearing heavy armour. Litvir always wore armour. The strong, metal armour. They needed to, as it was their duty to protect the universe, and, in order to do that, Litvir had to protect themselves. Today though, Litvir was wearing casual armour. Similar to what everyone else was wearing. Litvir only had … Read more

“Um, hello, ma- uh… Kyr Elkay…” “Hello, Litvir, please, come in!” For reasons Elkay couldn’t quite work out, Litvir seemed somewhat uneasy today, as they entered Elkay’s office. Elkay noticed that Litvir was clutching their gun-staff very tightly, and there were specks of gold blood all over them. Litvir glanced around, then did as they … Read more
