Part 2- The Off-World: The Flight - Chapter 03 - The Station Cafe (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1646733900-part-2-the-off-world-the-flight-chapter-03-the?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=dreamweaver69 Fenwick's escape begins the moment he boards the droiater, leaving Chicagonia behind in a blur of grief and fear. The off‑world journey is harsh: cold cargo bays, sleepless hours, and the realization that he is no longer a cop or citizen - just cargo being ferried away from the only home he's ever known. His mind fractures under the strain, slipping into dream‑Chicagonia where Murphy, Baabby, and Strix appear in distorted echoes of memory. The transfer station offers no comfort. Fenwick drifts through crowds like a ghost until a stranger - Marty, a human hauler in a neon vacation shirt - gives him the first kind word he's heard since fleeing. But the kindness is brief. Fenwick is swept into the courier web, where living vessels and faceless couriers judge him by biology instead of reputation. The relay network becomes a gauntlet. Fenwick endures the Between - a mental channel that amplifies fear - and faces hybrid smugglers who see him as "valuable." At the checkpoint, an alien system nearly detains him for "instability" until he sacrifices the last piece of Chicagonia he has left: his Time‑Loop Band. It becomes the price of his freedom. A stopover station finally gives him rest, food, and space to breathe. There he meets Naa'kira, a sharp Goral hauler who offers him passage without extortion. Her help carries him to the final droiater - a clean, quiet vessel that delivers him to Virelia Prime. Part II ends with Fenwick arriving in New Carthage, where Strix's brother Strax welcomes him inside. The long, frantic flight is over. What comes next will remake him.

PART 01 - The Making of Fenwick - Chapter 16 - The Last Night in Chicagonia (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1645989064-part-01-the-making-of-fenwick-chapter-16-the-last?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=dreamweaver69 Fenwick begins at Chicagonia Academy, where he's paired with Strix, a disciplined dragonfly‑folk recruit whose precision balances Fenwick's chaotic instincts. Their partnership becomes brotherhood, strengthened when Fenwick brings Strix home and Ma welcomes him into the family. Fenwick later protects Strix's career by taking the blame for a clerical mistake, cementing their bond. Years pass. Strix rises through the ranks, marries Lira, and starts a brood of ten hatchlings who become part of Fenwick's extended family. Fenwick, meanwhile, becomes known as the honest officer who refuses corruption, earning enemies in both the precinct and the city's criminal undercurrent. Everything shifts when Murphy - a hyperactive squirrel‑hybrid rookie - becomes Fenwick's new partner. Their chaotic dynamic quickly turns into genuine loyalty. Together they make a major bust, unknowingly crossing the wrong people. The mob takes notice. The precinct looks the other way. Murphy is murdered in retaliation, and Fenwick is framed for the fallout. With the mob hunting him and corrupt officers closing in, Fenwick realizes staying will endanger Strix, Lira, the brood, and Ma's household. Forced to choose between justice and survival, he flees Chicagonia - leaving behind the only family he's ever known. Part 01 ends with Fenwick must go off‑world, alone, grieving Murphy, and officially a fugitive.
