Caution to the wind Family
Third Person POVArte blinked at the door. She took in the appearance of their in-laws and then slowly looked at Malik with a confused expression. She leaned in and whispered, "I feel like you've deceived me, brother", she said with a sceptical tone. Malik tilted his head at her with a grin "Whatever do you mean, sister?" He knew exactly what she meant. "The way you spoke, I thought your mother would be a little old lady! Your parents don't look a day over thirty, you liar!" She whisper-yelled at him. Malik turned his face away, very obviously trying to hide his laughter. His muscular shoulders were shaking, giving it all away. Arte playfully slapped his chest with a huff "What a shock!" It was true. Seeing Malik's family caused her the shock of a lifetime. She imagined them to be a little elderly couple with a whole litter of kids and cute little farm outfits and maybe a straw hat or two. The month-long image she'd conjured in her head was shattered with one mere glance. Malik's

Artemis White's POV A month had passed in a flash. The manor had become so loud, so populated - More than it ever had been. And yet, my head seemed much louder. Since I was forced into a simulation where the people I cared for had died, I tried my best to bury the memories. But it's hard to forget watching people you've become close to choke on their own blood and then die or get crushed under a roof before you even have the chance to save them. For the first two weeks after the incident, I did no physical training at all. The only thing that I did was medical training with Theo and Emma. Restricting my focus to their lessons and being guided by them really helped me mentally. I still fumbled occasionally, but I was now much more confident. After the two weeks, I slowly started to ease back into the lessons with my other instructors. My schedule had become busy again, and Malik had taken on the task of my meals instead of Ayame. They were less restrictive, I could pick and choose wh

Third-person POVA storm of darkness raged in anger, swirling and destroying everything around Artemis. She sat peacefully in the centre of that dark storm, eyes heavy. The screen showed them slowly closing, Artemis leaning more and more to the side, until she finally dropped with a thump that made even Ayame flinch. The screen was black, and only the sound of Arte's ragged breaths came through the monitor. All of a sudden, the lights in the facility began to dim and flicker. Ayame's breath caught in her throat as she watched a figure claw her way out of Arte's shadow. Right in front of them. In the real world. She was tall. Beautiful. Inky black hair pooled in a perfectly straight blanket down her back, stopping at her waist. Her eyes were pitch black, completely. Her skin was pale, almost translucent under the sterile lights. She wore the shadows like a dress, barefoot. A crown of void and silver veins sat atop her head. "Tempest..." Ayame whispered. "She's a Spirit Queen..." Th

Third Person POVArtemis paused at the threshold of the 'comm-lab' - A room that originally looked like a high-end security room and now looked even more high-end, techy and secure, blinking as banks of consoles and tangled cables sprawled before her. She’d spent years burrowing through encrypted networks and dismantling firewalls in midnight raids on corporate servers, assisting the military with her hacking skills, but field communications were a different beast. Captain Mara Quinn - Signal - turned from a holo-terminal, braid swinging over her shoulder like an antenna. She offered Artemis a half-smile. “You know your way around code, White. But this” - she held up a handheld scrambler - “is hardware. We’ll start with the basics.” Artemis was slightly taken aback by the change in Mara's personality. She was usually so kind and graceful. Now she just seemed cold and detached. Nonetheless, she accepted the device, running a fingertip over its matte surface and tiny LED screen. Un

Artemis White's POV"Today, we start from zero", Herrington said. He removed his jacket, revealing a short-sleeved shirt and arms covered in faded campaign tattoos. His skin was a story of every time he was deployed. Every battle, every comrade gained and lost. I could feel admiration and respect welling within me, more than I already had for him. "We build the body before we teach it how to fight", he explained. I listened carefully, nodding when he looked at me with eyes that asked if I was listening. "I need to know what you're capable of already. At your core," he said, pulling a chalk from his pocket and drawing a table on a chalkboard that sat on the wall. I'd never seen it before, so it must have been something Herrington brought in. In each row were 'speed', 'strength' and 'stamina'. It seemed as though he was going to grade my basic abilities first, before deciding on his method of building my body. "Let's warm up. Copy me," he said, placing the chalk down.For three minute

Artemis White's POVI stood in the garden, Khione, Major Herrington, Miguel, Maria, Sebastian and the team behind me. They were silent, as was I.Ayame Rivers stood in front of me, her eyes observing me carefully. "The first test is a Trial of Will", she said slowly. "Walk the firewalk. Show me that you can endure the pain, push through at all costs. Only those with a strong will can face their future properly," she continued. Then, she raised a hand and swiftly, in one fluid motion, jagged and uneven rocks catching fire, coal burning on them, under them and between them. It definitely looked painful. But so was having my back slowly shredded by a rusty, blunt dagger. "Arte, this is insane, you can't-" Khione said frantically. I turned to her and smiled, "I can do it, Khi. You don't trust me?" I asked. Khione looked at me, stunned. "I-I trust you, but...You're going to get hurt, Arte. You just came out of the hospital, not even two hours ago!" I turned my head to Ayame, "No need to w
