Phoenix Trails does not own Andromeda. If I did Gaheris Rhade wouldn't have died and would be part of the crew as well as being best friends with Dylan. That and the Abyss wouldn't exist because he makes no sense as the biggest villain in the dang show. He wouldn't be some weird creature that makes no sense, so, that's my piece.
This story is rated Teen and WILL NOT include mature themes. There will be some bad language be only when necessary or on script. There will also be violence.
This story is set before Rommie meets Gabriel in "Star Crossed."
Angels cry
Against the setting sky
Tears fall
The long night has killed them all
Deep in the charred soil
A little one recoiled
Her face, carved deep with canyons made of tears
Angels cry
Against the setting sky
Tears fall
The long night has killed them all
Empires rise
Empires fall
The long night has killed them all
Here in my arms, lies the last shard of the broken picture
Her cries pierce the night
When her time comes she'll put up a fight.
Angels cry
Against the setting sky
Tears fall
The long night has killed them all
Slowly a shadowed figure walked down the empty halls of the Drift. Her almost silent song keeping the infant in her arms from crying out in the silent air. The figure's tired gait betrayed the long nights she had been kept up trying to take care of the poor soul. The baby looked no older than a month but she was small, her pink skin looking too innocent for the setting of the Nokyorian Drift. Looking around the baby's care taker kept moving till she spotted the Andromeda Ascendant. She gently caressed the baby's tiny face before setting her on the metal floor. A flexi could be seen poking out from the yellow blanket enveloping the young child.
She slipped something else in the soft blanket before running off down the hall. If one looked for the woman carefully they could she her hidden behind some metal crates watching and waiting for the right person to pick up the child she had left behind. She didn't have to wait long.
Lumbering footsteps and high pitch arguments could be heard down the left hall. Four people walked up the hall towards the ramp that connected to the airlock of their ship. As they approached, they woke the child, who let out a couple of high pitch 'feed me' calls.
One of the males stepped forward, a gun already in the air ready to kill anyone wishing to ambush them. He had darker skin and dreadlocks, as well as bone blades. Any skinny male hide slightly behind that one. The other two, a woman and a male stepped forward, waving off the other with the weapon.
"Tyr, wait." The woman said walking up the ramp towards where the baby had been laid. Her face softened as she looked at the waling infant. Brushing aside a piece of her dark locks, the woman picked up the child and cradled it in her arms. The infant young trilled as it tried to grab her fingers as the passed by, eventually snagging one and holding on to it.
"It's just a child." She told her group as they started to ascend the incline. They crowded around they little girl. She giggled at them, trying to get other fingers that waved over her face without letting the female's go.
They started to walk onto the ship when Tyr spoke up.
"We should just leave it here."
"No! It is a little girl who needs our protection... Tyr, I can't believe you would say that, she is defenseless." The female replied her arm tightening around the child.
"My point exactly, Andromeda." Andromeda moved to punch him before the leader broke it up.
"Enough! Both of you. No one is leaving anyone behind, especially the girl. Rommie take her down to med deck have Trance take a look at her. Everyone else get some rest because tomorrow is a long day."
