    Summary

    There is something inevitable about them; like the certainty of the sun in the morning and the moon and all her stars at night.

    After all is said in done, how will history tell their stories?

    (Set after the One Hundred Year War and the years following.)

    Summary

    “The IPC is holding their annual Amber Ball in a month. Of course, I’m invited. The problem is that I’m lacking a plus one, so to speak.”

    “…and you need my help in finding someone for you, or…?”

    Aventurine mindlessly fiddled with his watch, but his suggestive gaze held firm and steady on her. “Mm, yeah, I guess you could say I need your help again…” he teased out.

    Her face slowly flushed, but she didn’t care if he noticed. Her impatience overpowered it.

    “Don’t tell me I really do have to play matchmaker between you and someone else. Or play the bodyguard for you and your date or something –”

    “Isn’t it obvious?” Aventurine folded his hands in front of him. “I’m asking you to do me the honor of being my date for the ball, Miss Stellaron.”

    His date?

    -------
    Aventurine desperately needs a date for the upcoming IPC Amber Ball, but no one is lining to be the gambler’s date anytime soon and he has to choose within a month of his tight schedule. After exhausting his options, there was only one person he could think of talking to, and he hoped she would accept.

    The walls stretched as they broke into a run, he laughed as the lights became distorted and the detail in the rock smoothed out. The way ahead darkened as flecks of the world seemed to fall apart, the walls were pulled away and the floor fell out from underneath them once more. Stelle spun to face him as they headed into the void once more, there was a smile on her face. She seemed to find this fun despite everything, she stretched her arms forward as though welcoming him to join her in the fall.
