    Summary

    Nominal Bravery officially hates the stars.

    He had been mid-wrestle with Katie in their backyard when the spaceship appeared.

    When he woke up next, he was in a sterile cell, Katie asleep on his chest, and an endless sea of unfamiliar stars gleaming out of the one window.

    Summary

    There’s no time. His chest burned with every step, a hot striking pain shooting up his legs. He sprinted, fumbling for a potion of swiftness in his emergency bundle. Nom slammed it onto the ground, ignoring the glass of shards scattering around him. A rush of adrenaline coursed through his decaying lungs, running past the circus and closer to the kingdoms.

    “Gotta go- gotta warn them.”

    It’s still too slow. Why did it feel like nothing happened? Of course, he couldn’t have missed the splash effect, but he swore it hit him.

    There! The Rue-bars in sight. He could see the bridge, the arena, but no people at all.

    “Anyone?!” He reached the bridge, frantically searching. There were signs of a battle, grass trampled, blood in the air and the smell of gunpowder. “Where-where is everybody?!” The crows squawked uselessly above him. Why was no one here? Nom started heading towards Red, avoiding a large crater when he heard the same gravelly voice.

    Summary

    Katie is sick. She refuses to rest.

    After a... failed... trip to the Blue Kingdom, she ends up being cared for by the one person she expected not to care.

    Or, to better quote my extremely rough notes
    “Katie is sick she has the ill oh no”

    Summary

    It’s so easy to kill someone with their helmet down, Nom has realised.

    But when you’re born of the same soil, suddenly you see their face everywhere in the place you once called home.

     

    Seeing the cliffs of the kingdom made Nom’s skin crawl beneath his armour.

    He steered the sail towards the beach, wanting anything but to see his homeland again, and yet being unable to look away.

    Part of him had hoped that war had torn it apart while he was gone, that he would come back to a ruin, a place he could fit in, that would match how he felt inside now.

    But it remained unchanged.

    It was only Nom who was different.
