Summary:

Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

“Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

or;

In Gabriel’s final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

Today is the day that I am kicking off my professional career.

Another quiet day at the Refuge, and Aleyanna wouldn’t have had it any other way. Truth be told, she wanted some action, something different, something exciting. But for now, she would enjoy the serenity, the joy of good times and good company.

It was the sudden knock on the office door to the war room that surprised her. She went to the door and opened it. She was surprised to see her sister Samantha on the other end.

“Aley, hello!” The magister remarked.

“Hey, Sammy. What brings you here?”

“An opportunity for you.”

“What sort of opportunity?”

“Word is, an expedition is going south. Beyond Elona.”

Aley just looked at Sam, curiously.

“Elaborate.”

“I don’t have too many details right now. Just the Priory is wanting to head south in a couple of weeks. And I know that of the two of us, you’re the one more apt to strike out into places unknown and do what you need to.”

“I see. And I’m guessing you trust your older sister to do right with this then.”

“Yeah. Do you know who you’ll be bringing with you if you go?”

Aley thought about it for a good moment or so. She didn’t exactly know who all would be willing to go out that far away from a world they knew into a complete unknown. She sighed as she looked back to Sam.

“I have at least one definite yes in mind. But then, hard to say.”

“Well, you have time at least. Get whoever you want together, then let me know. I’ll easily make arrangements so nobody baats an eye.”

“Don’t think they’d bat an eye either way if I just showed up.”

So I’m gonna keep this blog around and I’ll still be on here, but I’m also gonna make a new blog so that I can actually reply to you guys and interact with you all more. So, step one: I’m gonna change the url of this account JUST A LITTLE BIT so that al-damnvers becomes available to the new blog. I’ll start reblogging all my fics, asks, etc onto the new blog, and then let you know when it’s all set so you can follow.
