A small taste of something I'm working on, it's short i know - the next chapter will be way longer, only intend 2-3 chapters maybe, but we shall see where it goes. Enjoy.
Femshep/Liara pairing incoming.
Rain softly pattered the ground in an expected drizzle whilst dark grey clouds towered over and across the reddened orange hued horizon - faintly booming with signals of a hastily approaching storm. The sun was just barely setting, what little was visible through the approaching tempest, fingers of dim sunlight breaking through the occasional crack between clouds - stretching across the city heights and reflecting brilliantly off the shimmering metallic beams and one way tinted windows. The winds were soft and gentle now, but with every passing moment of time it grew in strength and persistence, adamant in its mission to carry in its natural delivery of precipitation and set up the darkening stage for the violent paired dance of electricity and heated air, their passion creating sparks that lit white fires that leapt across the skies and sang deeply with a rumbling voice that could force the ground beneath it to shudder and shake in awe and respect of its natural power...

She proceeded on a hastened path towards the nearest taxi console, tapping her foot anxiously as she awaited transportation, rarely shifting her vacant stare from the clouded horizon - her mind and sights lost in the mists of her own memories, her own thoughts...
"Goddess..."
