Tiffany completes groundbreaking research about the storm. The mysteries of the storm are slowly unravelling.

    Kiloannum Orbit 14, Time's Eye Part 6

    This episode contains content warnings of transphobic parents. The limits of Argos' powers are put to the test, Auña gets a taste of a different life, and Tiffany must face Ida all while the storm encroaches on Feinzon. Zelin, my love, Fate is testing me. Ciza's daughter has joined the travelling community I found myself in but I am unsure if this is a good or bad omen. I have filled my time with duties for the community, making a bit of a name for myself, and I almost felt like I had put that chapter of my life behind me. Perhaps this is another chance to atone for past mistakes. If so then I shall be dutiful and vigilant. ===========REFERENCE GUIDE============ 👥 CHARACTERS 👥 Aaron LeStrand [he/him]: Head of the LeStrand house of the Fur Elite.
