“Vasha Zakrov, do you understand why you’re here?” The young heiress narrowed her reddish eyes contemptuously. “No doubt because of some trumped up charges that my lawyers will rip apart in court, making you insufferable Imperators look foolish in the process.” Vanser let out a chuckle. “Of course they will. No, what I mean is, …

Chapter 16: Priorities Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Yvenna Mirendy sat calmly in the anteroom, waiting patiently to be called in. She wasn’t particularly comfortable, not with the large security guard casting her wary eye on her. But then, this was a business meeting. She wasn’t expecting to be comfortable. The door opened, and the guard’s commlink beeped. “Lady Tarsuss will see you …
Chapter 15: Legal Maneuvers Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Zhalem, with Sam sitting next to her on the headrest of the couch, watched apprehensively as Rixie poured over the data in the files stolen from Vasha Zakrov. The three of them were in a budget hotel room across the city from the Imperial Jewel. The accommodations were not nearly as opulent, which did nothing …
Chapter 14: Sam’s Odyssey Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Rixie paced the floor of her suite. It was late evening and she’d returned from the holosuites an hour previous. On the one hand, seeing Alex had done wonders for her mood, on the other it only reminded her exactly what was at stake. “Would you stop?” Zhalem muttered from her place on the couch …
Chapter 13- Offers Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Renna’s earpiece buzzed with the voice of her supervisor, bringing along with it an electric whine and a sharp pain in her eardrum. With a wince, Renna reached to the control pack at her hip and turned the volume down slightly, irritably wondering whether the person who used the equipment before her had cranked it …
Chapter 11: A New Avenue of Attack Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
Pryvani couldn’t help but roll her eyes as Larinius entered the courtroom. Her cousin was dressed in High Court Attire. It was the kind of outfit that was still in fashion among the old-moneyed set in Tuaut, and absolutely nobody else. He had eschewed his cape which was, she supposed, progress, but he had completely …
Chapter 10: Respite Titan: Arena by Johnny Scribe
Alex awoke suddenly when he heard a rustle coming from outside the room he’d refurbished into a bedroom. It was early evening on Avalon and Alex had closed the bar to continue his refurbishments. Unfortunately, he’d over exerted himself and had decided to lie down for a nap. Cautiously, he slid himself from his bed …
Chapter 9: Assistance Titan: Arena by Johnny Scribe
Renna opened the office door with her access pass. Only the familiarity of the cleaning routine allowed her to complete it successfully. Her mind and body were both on autopilot as she entered Lady Fand’s office and began the dusting. Dimly, she was aware of movement within the glass terrarium that Sam lived in, but …
Chapter 8: Mirages Titan: Arena by Johnny Scribe
The courtroom was surprisingly full for a preliminary hearing in a civil case. This didn’t surprise Hurassen; indeed, he had quite expected it, which is why he’d recommended to Pryvani that she stay away. But Pryvani had ignored her attorney’s advice, and sat in the front row, directly behind him, wearing a smart business suit …
Chapter 7: Groundwork Titan: Arena by JohnnyScribe
A/N: Large portions of this (and subsequent) chapter(s) were written by DX. You can probably suss out which parts. The street stood empty, save for two young men walking down the side of the road, occasionally having to detour around piles of debris that hadn’t quite been cleaned up yet. Eventually, they made it to …
