A.K.     Smith
Some legacies are not chosen—they are endured. And still, we wear them like second skin, hoping they won’t devour what’s left of who we were before.
A.K. Smith, Mark of Fate

G.B. Gabbler
There’s a name for what I am, Odys. I’m your Automaton. You’re my new Master. When Pepin, my old Master, killed himself, he canceled the bond I shared with him. I became functionless—stagnant—inanimate. I couldn’t change from my object-form until you touched me—until I took your soul. I need a soul to fuel me—to wind me up. We’re like machines— our soul is the rechargeable battery. But I’m far from wires, gears, and bolts.
G.B. Gabbler, The Automation
