    Summary

    Frivolous
    /ˈfrɪvələs/
    (Adj.)
    Not having any serious purpose or value (Something of little importance.)

    König is the definition of frivolous. He doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. He's just a tool to be used for other people's gain. One that ends up being tossed away once the job is done. Forgotten. And he’s fine with that—fine with being nothing more than the dirt people walk upon, trudging through life alone, constantly looking over his shoulder, keeping everyone at a distance, and doing whatever it takes to survive.

    Everything’s as it should be, until he gets loaned to 141.

    Summary

    My second life begins in a world of heat and death with him by my side. It begins again in a maze, where I can only remember a false name and the feeling of being incomplete.

    ( They told me to protect him with every breath, but I was doing it long before they felt the need to tell me. )

    --
    It feels like a loss. They’re shaping us into something new, forcing our hand when we don’t respond the way they want. It’s just a name, yes, but it’s the name our parents gave us. It’s all we have left that belongs to us, and now we can’t even keep that.

    The pain stops, but there’s an ache that I can feel in every muscle of my body and mind. I lay gasping on the floor until the door opens, barely able to move my body as Stevie is dragged back inside. I grunt, raising myself to onto my knees as Stevie is dropped besides me. Like beacons, we seek each other, curling our throbbing bodies together and sighing with relief.

    Summary

    Elida Gardner, Callsign "Aegis", has chased her way through life following the loss of her younger sister. She enlisted in the army to separate herself from things she couldn't change, and save the things she could. Now, after years of stagnation, she gets ambushed one morning in the gym after a particularly dark nightmare, knocking the man prone only to come face to face with her C.O. and two strangers. She comes to find that they're from Task Force 141 and her C.O. has pushed her through to sign on as their new combat medic. But can she keep the pace she's been setting, or will she- or they run her ragged. Can Aegis keep up appearances? Or will the weight she's been carrying finally drag her beneath the waters edge. Or worse, will someone pull her out of the water and make her learn to stand again?

    Feel free to go to "The Journal of Elida Gardner" where I'll post little blurbs from her diary that follow the story and give deeper insight into her thoughts and feelings as the story progresses!
