Post: RE: [The Garden] Praeceptor of the Reliquiae

They had discussed the nominations, and Helena was in accord. Though she noted the shift in Nox’s posture when Zephyr Lelantos’ name was spoken. The Consul was the cleanest choice to represent the Cus...

The minutiae of the plans were Eliot’s. She did not agree with everything, but she did not oppose what she might personally consider sentimentality. Others would see it as goodness; a world worth figh...

Helena followed in silence. She sat in silence. Yet silence was not natural for Helena, a woman accustomed to speaking her mind irrespective of whether or not her words were well received. She deteste...

Post: RE: [The Garden] Praeceptor of the Reliquiae

She did not flinch; death was not an unknown companion. Helena had never been afraid of mortality, hers or others, and despite the ferocity of the action she did not feel any true fear. Or guilt for h...

Post: RE: [The Garden] Praeceptor of the Reliquiae

“You may not,” she said. Her eyes didn’t blink. She found the posturing irritating and wasteful. Helena was not offended or made angry by the amused twist given her name but she would not forget it ei...

Post: RE: [The Garden] Praeceptor of the Reliquiae

Helena didn’t talk in the car. It was not her way to indulge in small talk anyway, and she certainly didn’t want to get bridled with soothing Eliot’s nerves. She said nothing about the chair either; h...

Deconstruction was integral to understanding how best to put something back together. The Almaz, for all its distasteful violence, was the perfect grounds for experimentation. That was the reason she ...

Truthfully Helena did not see why it must be believable. But she understood that it was in their best interests not to incite any rumours that were easily avoidable. In these matters, she would allow ...

She was still preoccupied looking through the information he had provided, but his explanation of the Atharim’s purpose was interesting. Although Helena had approached him as though she knew precisely...

Helena didn’t blink at the first words out of his mouth. In fact she barely thought of the child that had existed inside her back then, or how she had callously had it removed after Cillian’s death. H...

Helena looked at him with avid calculation, deciding if he had enough power and influence of his own to be of use to her. Clearly he was not the head of this organisation, as she had hoped he might be...
