Status Updates From Rules of Redemption (The Fi...

“I'm sure you have it handled," Kira mumbled, already half-asleep.
Her duffel was yanked from under her. A cry of protest burst out as she landed on the hard ground.
A caramel bar appeared in front of her face.”


🤣🤣

“Vague surprise filled her at the sight of a sword point sticking out of her chest. Ayela stepped around her, her expression gloating. "Guess I'm not so useless after all. I killed you, didn't I?
“Protocol Phoenix! To me, to me. Jin, get that cage down!" Raider screamed
“Her vision wavered.
Raider and the rest were almost at the cage.
She needed to hold on. Just a little longer.”

🤩👏🏻

“Tsavitee kept any bargains they made. It was a weird dichotomy in such a backstabbing race.”

🤣😭

“He gave her an enigmatic smile. "We'll see. I have faith I can change your mind."
Kira felt a spurt of alarm. Graydon was the type of man who felt the need to conquer any obstacle in his path. She was the ultimate challenge, a woman unimpressed with his station and utterly consumed with running as far from him as possible”

🙂‍↕️👏🏻 yass gurl leave him

“Kira smiled at the subtle jab, meant to imply Kira's lack of attractiveness as the cause, given how hard the girl had to work to make her appealing.
Ayela had claws, delicate but sharp, nonetheless. Good for her.”


🤣

“Graydon's eyes darkened as he studied her. "You're being ridiculously stubborn."
"Good. It’s my life to be stubborn with," she said.”


😞🤣😭

“Hopelessness choked Kira. This, this right here was why she left. It didn't matter how many people she saved or how many times she risked her life. Most humans would only see the monster.”

“It seemed even among her people she was a freak.”

😞🫂

“she would have made sure to hunt the perpetrators no matter who their target. It said bad things about your leadership if someone under your protection could be hurt with impunity. It was only a matter of time before others attacked too.”

🙂‍↕️ true, it’s a hole in your armour

“She'd finish this mission, get them an “in” with the Tuann and make sure her departure didn't affect their treaty. Then she was gone. This time she would make sure she stayed gone”


you go girl 😞🫂

“Not until Liara confirmed you were a first cousin. She only has one—a girl, stolen days after her birth. If you're her cousin, as Liara believes you are, it would make you ninety-two," he explained.
"Damn Phoenix, you're so old," Blue said.”


🙂‍↕️🤣

“The Luathans stood straight and proud, their bearing regal as they watched Kira and the rest approach. There was no sign of friendliness. Nothing to indicate they were looking forward to recovering a lost member of the flock. No. They wanted to throw Kira out and bar her from ever returning.
Her lips curved up in a private smile. That was fine with her.”
😁

“How ironic would it be for her to come through a war, only to be killed because an alien horse decided it didn't like her scent.”


😆

“This her, then?" he asked.
"It is," Graydon said.
"Are you sure she's Luatha? She looks nothing like us.”


🙂‍↕️thanks for the confirmation, all right let’s go

“She'd always been the rebellious type. Give her an ounce of disapproval and she'd do everything in her power to prove you right.”


felt this 🤣

“Arrogant ass," she grumbled to herself as she headed toward Joule and Ziva.
"Graydon has excellent hearing," Amila said in a neutral voice.
A wicked smile curved Kira’s lips. "I'm counting on it.”

😆🤣

“Her smile became sugary sweet. Jin muttered a curse next to her. "Well, aren't you thoughtful? Too bad you're as dumb as a rock. I suppose intelligence isn't really required of a man in your position."
"Oh god," Jin said, feeling in his voice.”


Jin you know it’s coming 🤣

“Jin peeled off, drifting closer to the ceiling as Kira's body woke up. He liked to tell her, exercise was for those with flesh. He had better things to do with his energy than run around in circles like a damn rodent”


🤣

“You know some people call her a mass murderer for what was done there. She caused nearly ten thousand deaths with that stunt."
Kira paused with her fork halfway to her mouth before setting it down. Suddenly her appetite was gone.”


😞🫂

“We can't help you break the treaty." Himoto clasped his hands on the table in front of him.
They sure expected a lot from her when they had nothing to give in return.”


🤣

“Why are you telling me this?" Kira asked. This information was classified.”
“I know you, Kira-chan. I trained you, remember?" Himoto said. "The Tuann might think they have you trapped, but how long will that last? You'll take the first opportunity to disappear.”

😂

“in their culture, you might not be considered fully grown."
Kira pointed at her face. "Do I look like a child to you?"
"You certainly act like one sometimes," Jace murmured.”


😭 what did you do to them Kira?

“a wild feeling surged in her chest as the sense of being trapped closed in all around her.
It'd been a long time since she got that feeling.
she was struck by the urge to lash out until this nasty feeling in her chest was gone.”


☹️ my baby 😤

“Himoto explained as she read. "You never formalized your retirement. It gave us “room to recall you to service. Your orders are included in that packet as well."
Kira felt a dull horror at his words. Jin drifted lower so he could read over her shoulder.
"Is he right?" she asked. “Yes”


🥺😢☹️ now i feel betrayed

“Himoto and his team had rescued her from all that, killing the group of scientists who had been trying to train Kira and the others to be the best monsters they could be. Children as young as three taught to fight and then beaten as their caretakers tried to mold them into living weapons.”

🫩😞😞

“His sigh was long and he shook his head slightly. "You always have to do things the hard way."
"It's the only way I know to be." Kira didn't let herself feel bad about that fact. Maybe once, before she'd rebuilt herself from the ground up”

😞

“Kira peered over the side, what she was contemplating giving her pause. If Jin was here, he'd have a whole bunch of statistics about how unlikely her odds of success. Right before he forbade her from undertaking such a reckless action.
Her smile grew. Good thing he wasn't here.”

🤣🤣

“The wizard held out his hand, a demand in his expression. "Come," he ordered in accented standard.
Kira gave him a slight smile. She'd never really been one for orders. Probably why she was no longer in the space force.
She leaned back, spreading her arms and letting gravity take her. Her balance passed the point of no return.”

🤣😆👏🏻

“thought he'd won.
Well, when you were trapped on three sides, there was only one choice. Kira walked toward the terrace, hopping up to stand on the railing, her balance precarious”

😆 looove her

“And if she doesn't want to go?"
"She is Tuann. She will go." Graydon's order was definite.
Jace ran a hand through his hair, frustration and a hint of amusement in his expression. "You really don't know her if you think that kind of logic will work on her.”


🤣 Jace knows
