《Ignis》Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard
Advertisement
You close your eyes and take a deep calming breath, Willing yourself to Awaken from your dream. You open your eyes again, and see your hands as they actually are. Slightly pallid, long-fingered, elegant. You flex them, and they respond with their usual grace.
The arrival chime dings, and you stand up and glide to the storage bin to collect your things. You muse at the irony of having to do so: most nobles would have a footman or minion to do such a thing, but not you or any other Navigator. No one likes to touch the belongings of a psyker, no matter how safe or sanctified.
As the ranking passenger aboard the Dark Voyage, you were the last to board and the first to disembark. Again, despite your esteemed rank and birth, there is no over-elaborate greeting ceremony. The shuttle bay is neat and clean, and the other passengers disembark and peel off to their destinations, clearly crewmen returning to their ship. You glance about, and your eyes fix on a uniformed officer, clearly there to meet you. She sees you at the same time, and comes your way.
"Lady Dannan, I presume? Welcome aboard the Ignis. Executive Officer Ravi Ekhi." She reaches out to shake your hand. You take a moment and a second glance to appraise her as you shake. Of average height and build, brown hair, brown eyes. Were it not for the uniform, you would easily have lost track of her amidst a group of people. "Shipmistress Faunia Von Sebastion extends her welcome as well, and would appreciate you joining her in a meeting, if you are not too tired from your journey."

Alive
At the center of a now unmoving battlefield the remains of a corpse rose from the others. A pile of bones held together by unknown means looked over the cadaver covered soil into the starry night. "What are those? Where am I? Who am I? What is my purpose?" Words formed questions in its head, none of which had an answer... For now, as a thought creeped up in its mind giving a reason to its movements: "I want to know" [Hello everyone, before you start reading this, if you want to read this, do know that this is just an idea that suddently appeared in my mind and I wanted to write it down so I'm not sure when the updates will appear though I did imagine the whole story {More like the beginning and the end}.
