Stars in Nova by Sky Gold

SAMIRA
Whenever I close my eyes, visions of my dying home fill my mind.
My world—once a paradise of fountains, lakes, cascading waterfalls, and limitless horizons—has been reduced to a desolate husk.
A relentless enemy has destroyed our sanctuary.
Our once vibrant society has been reduced to isolated pockets of survivors.
Now, so far from home, I carry the burden of my people’s despair.
My mission is clear and involves one man with the most brutish and merciless reputation in all Pegasi.
Perhaps it’s foolish to trust he’s the answer I’ve been searching for, but I’ve no choice.
My loved ones and I are at the mercy of a darkness unlike any other.
We cry out for freedom and mercy.
We need his brand of darkness, more powerful than most, to annihilate our enemy.
Deep down, I need him, too. The fact is, I crave him more than I care to admit.
Is he the liberator we’re desperate for or the monster who will vanquish my heart, soul, and those I love?

KISAN
They call me the annihilator.
The destroyer. The marauder. The killer of planets.
A reputation forged in blood, fire, and the fury of a vendetta war I waged.
It clings to me like ash from the worlds I burned, even now,
as I stand among the Sable Riders—the brotherhood I once sought to destroy.
Now, with each moment of quiet, I relive the past, the guilt crushing my soul.
Every face that glares at me with wariness, anger, and disdain twists like a knife in my gut.
While the burden of my past sins churns at me in my penance, I fantasize.
About a woman with fire, grace, and strength in her soul—gazing at me not with fear or pity but with desire.
Given my past, failings, and monstrous legacy, will I ever find the solace and acceptance I seek? Or are my dreams the cruelest of hopes, destined to be ripped away the moment I dare reach for them?
