Aegea stands at the edge of the sea as if it has the strength to hold this position, but its people are fragile. They do not deserve the illusion of peace.”                The cloaked man grimaced as he stood upon the quiet road which led to the city. Electrical lights scattered the buildings and pierced the night, illuminating banks of low clouds as they drifted overhead.

It’s way too early to let my bro’s day get ruined,” Seth said with a slight chuckle.             “I figured it was Phil! Not that that excuses you skipping History,” she teased.             “That punk-ass English teacher reported me for skippin’ his boring-ass class like ten times this semester, but it ain’t my fault! He tellin’ everyone that I’m jus’ some hoodlum cuttin’ class and getting into trouble and shit, but that ain’t true! I keep goin’ to the university and sittin’ in on them engineer
