The Glorious Becoming
“It was 0600 hours when his comm sounded, not with a mission callout, but with a communication prompt. It was General Thoor, ordering him to report to the Citadel. No explanation was given, but when Thoor was the one dishing out orders, none were required.And so morning began, not with a training session, but with the donning of his Nightman uniform and his reporting to the Terror.As impossible as it was to fully remove his incident with Esther from his mind, Scott tried his hardest to at least ...push it to the back burner. The ache was still there, and he still wanted to pretend that everything had been a bad dream, but reality spoke otherwise. He was afraid of seeing her again. She was probably just as afraid of seeing him.With the entrance to the Citadel so close to his room, it took Scott no time at all to descend down its limestone stairwell. He was standing outside General Thoor’s door within ten minutes of being called.The general was waiting for him atop his throne. Gone was the casualness of yesterday.MoreLess
