"Hand me that torch, will you?" said Pego, who had by that time gotten inside the maintenance rooms. The hallway ahead was pitch black, but there were some torches in the room. Direnu gave her companion a torch and locked the door behind her. Cautiously they headed into the tunnels. It was quiet. Direnu would have expected some noise from machinery, but there was nothing. It almost felt like they were going into a catacomb, until Pego broke the silence like a sledgehammer would an egg.
"So," she inquired with a cheeky smile, her words echoing down the hallway. "I noticed you've been gettin' rather friendly with Vare..."
"Keep it down!" Direnu replied. "And what makes you even say that?"
Pego raised a shoulder. "I'unno. 'S just that I noticed you two talking earlier. Alone." Direnu looked away, her face unable to hide a trace of embarrassment. Pego continued. "And it's not the first time either, I've seen you two together quite a few times. What's up with that, huh?"
"Well..." Direnu st

Rebellion extract: Caught in the act
After a while, the party reached the tan stone walls of the city. The fog was slowly starting to clear, and Kotha coloured the landscape a vague pink. As the team edged along, Direnu felt cold with her back against the wall. She looked up and thought of the guards that were most likely up there, ready to shoot anyone who had the poor judgement of being seen. Eventually Thojal signalled. She found the entrance; a portion of the wall was very slightly sunken in. A bit of prying made the door open, creating an opening hardly large enough to fit through. Once inside, they found themselves inside a storeroom, filled with barrels and cupboards. Pego looked into one of the barrels, took out a piece of dried meat and put it in her pocket. Vare looked a bit disdainful at her.
"What?" Pego defended herself in a muffled voice. Vare just shook her head. Suddenly, someone came into the room from the other side. A rebel guard, they presumed, and oblivious to the invaders by the looks of it. Everyone

Rebellion - extract: Vare
Extract from chapter 2: Vespen
Vare and her guards left the encampment shortly afterwards. Vespen was over a hundred kilometres north-west of the front line, close to the old border. As they rode their mounts through the trees of the massive Ra'vemean forest, Pego, one of the Guardians, looked up to the now overcast sky.
"Kotha is hiding among the clouds." she said. " 's Usually a bad sign.". Some of the others nodded in silence, and all of them touched the ground with the tip of their sword to avert the bad omen. Only Vare refrained from unsheathing her broadsword. Pego scraped her throat.
"My Lord, don't you want Kotha's blessing as well?" she carefully asked. Vare turned her head, and smiled her polite little smile.
"I do not need the Prototypes' blessings." she replied, and turned back to the road. "And neither do you". She sighed softly. "A person decides her own fate". Pego shook her head.
"Suit yourself..." she said under her breath.

So I posted the first extract of my story, and you guys probably wonder: what or who is Kotha? What's a Prototype? Why is the prince a girl? To answer that, let me tell you the story behind the story.
Somewhere in the vast expanse of space there is a gas giant orbiting a rather insignificant star. This gas giant has a moon that is home to the Teka: humanoid creatures, a good meter tall. The Teka are much like us, except for the fact that they have no distinct genders. I chose to refer to them as female, but they are in reality neither male nor female.
The Teka believe that they were brought into existence by the Creator. She, first created three Prototypes; Kotha, Tilisu and Esuna. Each of them posessed the power to manipulate one of the three elements; Earth, Water and Light respectively. Kotha is thought of as the guardian of the world, and is symbolised by the gas giant that fills a good part of the sky. Together they are told to have created the world. Around the three elements then arose three different cultures, three nations. Vare is the prince of the earth kingdom, Ra'vero.
More updates later on.
