"I see" she smiled and hummed— skipping through the Academy garden. A slight chuckle was released by Taehyung as silence carefully broke.

"So.. uh—" He cleared his throat "Are you doing anything this weekend?"
:
"uh.. hmm.. Nothing that I know of."

"if you're free.. maybe.. we can—"
"What are you two doing here?"
Taehyung gritted his teeth from the vision of seeing Yuzu walking towards them. he clicked his tongue.

"Ah! Yuzu!" she smiled "Taehyung wanted to show me the garden.. I did not know the Academy has a garden?"
:
"Yeah we do. If you wanted to go around.. you could have asked me."
:
"uh well I—"
:
"How is she supposed to know what to ask.. if she did not even know that we have one."
:
"She could have said she wanted a tour"
:
"So.. you're waiting for the girl to ask you rather than initiating to tour her?— gee.. slick move i bet?"
:
"Why do you even bother with her— when for sure you got a lot of girls around you"
:
"Why do you even care if i wanted to treat her better?" They both gritted their teeth at each other with their brows knitted

"uh guys.. guys.. what's going on?— Come on.. surely a new student like me should not get this much attention? What's wrong with the two of you."

War Queen
Strip away wants. Strip away desire, strip away dreams and hopes. When you peel it back, such things are luxuries only possible when you have first guarenteed your survival. Survival is everything, and in its pursuit, even the self may need to be stripped away for the survival of the species. Life, of her and her people, was nothing to the aliens if it was not useful. So she would be useful, she would be obedient, and she would survive. Under the control of the new rulers of her world and species, as a pawn in a conflict she could scarce comprehend, she would survive. And in this cosmic war of forces beyond her understanding, when all that is known is stripped away, survival is not just everything; it is all there is left.[Winner during the Royal Road Writathon Challenge Fall 2021](( Chapters are 5,500 words on average.
