The artificial night of Aethel-7 was a shroud of deep blue and lingering shadow. Elara moved through it, a woman officially dead for eleven years. Her thoughts, as always, spiraled back to Lyra, the daughter she'd left in Kael's care. A familiar, aching worry tightened her chest: how tall had she grown? Was there still a place for a ghost in her life? Her boot caught on a jagged piece of conduit, sending her staggering forward. A frustrated sigh escaped her. With a sharp gesture, a coil of azure energy—her Chrono-Flux—lashed out from her wrist, violently clearing the path. She straightened her shoulders and continued her lonely, endless circuit of the derelict station.
