[spoiler]thank you guys so much for reading this far, for allowing me to share my guardian’s story, for letting me love someone regardless of race/realism/ appearance etc. Sharing her journey through destiny has been incredibly fun for me, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it as well. This is just a little something celebrating 20 pages in. This one is so short because page 21 is SUPER long, Shadow versus Skolas I hope you’re ready for all [i]that[/i] [/spoiler] As soon as Petra’s voice filters through the com unit, Shadow mutes it. She knows where she’s going. She knows what she’s doing. She leans back in her seat, hands linked together in front of her black painted lips. Golden eyes narrowed, glowing in the darkness of her ship. She allows herself to dwell in her anger. Contemplate her execution. “Shadow...” The hunter ignores her ghost. There was nothing left to say. As Venus looms closer, she sits straighter, preparing for transmat. Shadow flicks her comms back on in time to hear Petra. “...When you find him, we’ll be ready.” [i]No. [b]I’ll[/b] be ready.[/i]
