Sibling Story

Summary:

Crimson, like the petals of a poppy, her favorite flower, and his favorite color. Crimson, like the blood shed by cruel men. Like the one that murdered her husband and son.
Titanium, like the metal shunted aside by the tastes of the higher castes, disliked for its grey color, but strong. Titanium, like the framework of a building, standing strong against the setting sun, alone.
The Orokin, like any great empire, would fall. The Tenno, led by her children, would rise.
Her family's blood demanded no less.

Chapter 1: Awake

Chapter Text

She opened her eyes. Where was she? Who was she? A voice whispered around her ears, gentle, but firm. 

     "Wake up, Tenno. Wake up."

     The surface under her buckled and disappeared, and she dropped to the floor, staring at her hand, at the coils wrapping her arms. Hard voices echoed from somewhere nearby, sending a shiver down her spine. 

    “Hrmph. I see The Lotus has tried to wake you… Pity she’s too late. You’re my prize now, Tenno.”

    The man had what looked like decaying skin and numerous cybernetic replacements, but still was somehow stronger than her. He attached… something to her left calf and started to walk away. As he went, some of the soldiers (soldiers? When did they get here?) raised their slugthrowers at her menacingly, but the man (Officer?) sneered at them with a “No! We are taking this one with us.”

"What has he done to you? I can't lose another Tenno. I'm surging your warframe's power systems."

(Who is that? How is she talking to me?)
