Premonitory Star
Hyperspace, The Shooting Star: Siikos
(Silence)
Zyra stared at the stars in the window of her ship. She noticed a white nova in the distance.
She had a strange feeling that something was going to happen.
"Mistress?"
"Yes, Veronika?" Zyra said.
"Is something wrong?" Veronika asked.
"No," Zyra said, "Just thinking."
Zyra turned to look at her.
Veronika wore a frown of concern. She was about Zyra's height, they were both similarly ball-shaped, except for Veronika's horns and large fork she used as a weapon. While Veronika's skin was a reddish orange, Zyra's was a slightly pink violet, except for her darker purple hair. Veronika's eyes were black, and Zyra's were blue.
"Are you troubled?" Zyra asked.
"No..." Veronika sighed, "Merely bored. You were staring..."
"Well-"
"Mistress Zyra!" A Zy ran in, shouting, "The Envoy of Darkness has appeared!"
The Zy, like all of them, looked like Zyra- minus the hair and eye color.
"Zerezia?" Zyra whispered.
Zerezia came in, at least three times their height, her black gown dragging on the metal of the ship. Her long, black hair covered some of her dark face. Her dark eyes seemed to be windows into the Darkness itself.
Zyra, Zerezia thought, her mind seemed to soften the edges of her name, We have work to do.
"What is it?" Zyra asked.
The Hidden appeared before me, Zerezia said, You and Masituri shall help us fix a problem.
"Not the others?" Zyra inquired.
They were not mentioned. Zerezia thought.
"...very well," Zyra said, "Veronika, summon the officers to take care of things, we're leaving."
