《Steven Universe - Don't break this one!》Chapter 7

« I'll lead the brunt of the invasion. » Yellow exclaims.
Pink Diamond is moving as fast as possible. She tries to stay behind her big sister, who rushes down the hall like an arrow. It's difficult to keep up.
« Is this really necessary? » Pink asks.
« Yes. It took us almost ten millennia to perfect our technique. This is your first colony, so I want you to watch me in action. Next time, this process will be entirely under your care. »
« Very well, Yellow. »
Pink isn't unhappy that another Diamond is taking care of this. She wouldn't have known where to start. The corridor opens onto a square where thousands of uniformed Gems await, as well as a hundred ships. Their new uniform was created in the colors of Pink Diamond. This is the army and fleet she dreamed of in her youth. Why does it all seem so irrelevant to her now? Her soldiers salute in a perfectly choreographed movement, uttering a clear:
« Welcome, excellency! We are at your service! »
Pink shivers before such a sight. She feels the weight of a gigantic responsibility crashing onto her shoulders. The Gems fall back into parade rest. There are all kinds: Peridots, Amethysts, Bismuths, Nephrites... Two Lapis Lazuli also stand a little to the side. They wear Blue's uniform. She only lends her specialists, nothing more. A Lapis terraforms planets and Blue Diamond knows how to take care of this task better than anyone. They are therefore, with Sapphires, the only Gems that no one can produce except her. Yellow and White have tried, of course, and failed.
Impossible not to see the huge pair of pink legs that sit at the end of the square. So here is her famous ship, the one that everyone talks about constantly. Blue and Yellow's ships are in the shape of an arm, and White's a body. Pink inherited the legs, literally the most subordinate of any positions.

« She's beautiful, isn't she? »
« Who is? »
« Your ship, of course! White made me work on it for weeks! »
« I imagine that this could only be her idea. »
« Indeed! Legs, nothing less! She still sees you as the force that sustains us! I imagine this is... appropriate. »
Pink hadn't looked at the problem so positively. She finds it charming that Yellow is suddenly so optimistic, but she doubts that White actually saw the gift that way.
« Okay, let's get to work! Everyone gets on board! Forward! » Yellow concludes, pointing at the horizon.
Pink’s pearl arrives just then, settling next to her mistress. Her outfit is intended for space travel. She remains silent. This departure seems terrifying to her. The poor little one does not want to leave, but will follow her matriarch wherever necessary. Pink Diamond starts moving. She approaches the vehicle with determination in her steps, climbs aboard and sits in front of the controls. As the Diamond prepares for takeoff, her foot slips: the pair of legs fly up in such a ridiculous way that any individual with a minimum of wit would burst out laughing in a second. Her Pearl remains impassive and simply says:
« A magnificent takeoff, my Diamond! »
Pink chuckles. It was an inelegant start, but what does it matter? Nothing can scare her anymore. Her second chance awaits at the end of this path into the unknown. In a few years, she will have it in her hands and... her mistakes will finally disappear into oblivion. Soon. Very soon. You just have to keep hoping.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face. The first is the goblin, the small green humanoids that often cause problems out on the frontier. The second is the slime, the sneaky ambush predator that likes to drop down from the ceiling and seems to be just about everywhere. And then, there's the giant rat, the plague of the sewer and the tavern cellar. But they're nothing but a petty annoyance, right? Right? Wrong. Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive. But not if The Ratter has anything to say about it.
