Service

I never set out to be a leader. I only fought to survive in a cruel, broken world. But now I lead a rebel group, plotting and acting against the oppressive Central Cities government. It's important work, and it's the only thing that can matter to me.

At my right hand has always stood Ben. He's my second, my advisor, my friend, and often my bodyguard. He's never let me down. But something is changing. He's wanting more. From me. From us. But yielding in this would disrupt our mission and possibly our world.

He's always at my side, but he can never be in my heart.
