Warnings- argument, Miguel seems a lil toxic, Kinda spoilers? Not really tho
Itâs me or him
Miguel was pissed off enough as is, and you didnât wanna argue with him. But he was being harsh.
âMiggie, letâs just⌠think this out, okay?â You said, putting your hands on his chest, both on the high platform as they walked closer to the HQ.
âThere is no thinking it out.â He looked down at you, and shoving your hands off.
âHeâs a kid, Miguel.â
âAre you seriously taking his side?â He said in disbelief, fangs showing, eyes glowing red.
âNo! Iâm not taking his side. But heâs a kid, and thereâs gotta be a better way to do this.â
âYou donât get it. Heâs an anomaly, heâs a mistake.â He got closer to you as you backed up closer to the edge.
âI know that Miguel! Would you just listen to me. Why donât you just calm down a bit, try to sort things out and help him understand.â
âHeâs not gonna listen! Heâs a stubborn kid, they never listen.â
âMiggie-â
âItâs me or him.â
âMiguel..â
âItâs me or him.â
You sighed and looked at the floor. He stared down at you, and it wasnât a stare full of love and care like it usually was. âI donât⌠I donât know you anymore.â
His heart shattered at that one sentence. Just as much as it had when Gabriella died. He had lost her, and he was hoping he wasnât gonna lose you too. He just did.
âWait⌠y/n- Iâm sorry, okay? Donât-â
You dived off the platform, down to Margo.
âY/n!â He yelled, you didnât turn back and he groaned in frustration as you stormed out.
âWow, wow, wow, whatâs wrong?â Hobie said, grabbing your shoulder as he saw you storming out with tears in your eyes. Gwen and miles looked in confusion.
âFucking Miguel! I love him, Hobie. He just- Heâs so.. ugh!â You walked away again, in tears, ignoring everyoneâs questions.

Daughter of the Moon
Part 1
Narrator
We continue with our story, young Dawn has met the little princess and her brother. Their mother rather likes Dawn, and I am still telling the story hopefully Iâm not pulled away from it. Trantor is currently in a dilemma and the ReNarde family has decided to send their youngest members to Shima Homeworld. It is a neutral territory and can not be brought into any war unless fully necessary. Now letâs get on with the story, as we are about to jump through time many times in order to get it across.
15 Years Later
Ayla (Age 15)
Today is the day I return to Trantor and see my fatherâs family, I barely remember them, I left when I was an infant. My parents stayed and the children left for their protection, I did enjoy spending time with my motherâs parents. My return however is so I can attend Streeling University, I am one of the youngest candidates going this year. Iâm nervous because Iâve only ever had private tutors and etiquette teachers, I hope I can be myself here. Â
As I board the ship for the jump I feel something tumble into me, to my surprise it's my twin. âArtem what are you doing here? I thought you were staying to finish your curriculum to inherit Shima Homeworld.â âWell you know me, not one to stick to the lines that have been drawn for me. Also Iâve never been apart from you, canât leave without your partner in crime.â he said. I looked at him fondly and replied âHow could i leave without my other half, letâs start our next adventureâ. We both got on the ship and put on our suits for the jump, as we waited we were approached by a man named Jerryl. âYou must be the ReNarde twins, it is nice to meet milady, milord.â âYes we are but I wish I could say the same in regards to our acquaintance, how do you know who we are?â I said. He proceeds to say âI hear whispers here and there, also you my lady are quite famous, an IQ level far exceeding that of your predecessors, born to two of the biggest families in the galactic empire, and you have created your own industrial empire. What is there not to know?â I felt a blush bloom across my cheeks, as I walked past him Artem followed me and we ignore the looks in our directions. We get to our places to be put to sleep and I praise the droid as she blankly stares at me. As I feel the embrace of sleep my vision goes black and the jump is about to start.
CleonXIII (Age 25 Currently Brother Dawn)
I listen to the meeting notes with little interest, all I think about is the little baby with wispy white hair and bright blue eyes. Itâs been 15 yrs and Iâm still thinking of an infant, although now she should be an adolescent. Demerzel walks into the room excusing me from the meeting, my savior. As we leave together she has news for me, âEmpire I was told to tell you that young lady Ayla is returning to Trantor to attend the universityâ I looked at her in surprise, an adolescent attending the university, one that was the breeding grounds for revenge, betrayal, and humiliation. âDemerzel, what of her family, is the girl going to be a problem for other scholars attending the university?â âNo Empire, she has an intellect far superior than that of the staff of academia.â she says. She leaves me at the entrance of my bedroom to mull over my thoughts, why am I so consumed with this child. I ready myself for sleep and as I close my eyes I see bright blue eyes.
As I wake up and rub the sleep from my eyes, Demerzel is there waiting for me looking as if she has something to say. âDemerzel, what could you possibly want to say this early in the morning?â She says âEmpire, Lady Ayla has arrived here at the palace with her family. By invitation from your older brother.â I choke on my spit, my brother invited them, my own brother invited them. This isnât good, brother only ever invites people if he needs them to do his bidding. âDemerzel, did Day say as to why they were invited to the palace?â âNo Empire, just that he wanted to talk to them about Lady Aylaâs acceptance to the university.â she said. I ponder what she says and get ready for the day, as Iâm about to leave Brother Dusk walks into my room. âIt seems you donât need a wake up call. Would you mind hearing the thoughts of an old man?â He asks. I reply âNot at all brother, whatâs on your mind?â âI fear our brother may be seeking the aid of Lady Ayla to watch Hari Seldon.â he told me bluntly. I paled when I heard that name, heâs been causing problems for the empire with what heâs teaching. We canât arrest the man because of his popularity and with the thread between the people and our rule already so thin. We canât afford to put the people against any further. Dusk continues âI fear for the girl, barely returning and then being asked to watch a professor all because we canât seem to trust him. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.â I think about his words and canât seem to come up with a response. All I can say is âLetâs hope thatâs the only thing he asks of her and not something that causes our loss of her families in our council.â Dusk looks at me with surprise, âNot what i expected out your mouth brother, how wise you are becoming before my eyes. How proud Iâll be when I become Darkness.â he finishes and leaves my room. What a long day it will be.
Artem (Age 15)
How can people space jump? I feel my insides have been rearranged. I shouldnât have eaten before we left, now the entire deck will know a young boy had crab and tuna for dinner. Goodbye cruel I will be swallowed up in shame of my jump and how I didnât hold my stomach. Oh no Ayla is glaring at me, wait why is coming at me. âAyla, you mustnât come at your brother when he isnât feeling well.â I better start making a run for it.
Ayla
As I wake from the jump I feel a slight headache and some hunger, Artem to my side however looked very pale and ready to be swallowed up. He started mumbling and I heard part of it, I started going towards him. He proceeded to say âAyla, you mustnât come at your brother when he isnât feeling well.â I chased him around the deck until it was time to leave for the transport down to Trantor. As we boarded the Star Bridge Artem sat down and a child approached me âYou're very pretty, like a princess.â she said. I melted at the sight of the child, round rosy cheeks, light hazel eyes, and a petite frame that made me want to hug it. The young girl was staining her looking up so I knelt to her level. We huddled together until she started swaying with exhaustion and I picked her up so I could find her parents. All of a sudden I see a woman frantically looking around and all of a sudden she looks my way and rushes towards me. âWhy do you have my child thief why? Do you come to planets like this one and steal children? I bet you find satisfaction in children.â she yells in my face. I stared at her and said, âMaâam I do like children but I am not a kidnapper, however the way you came to me and didnât even ask if your child was alright. You have no right to accuse me of the crime you commited.â She gapes at me and is about to reply before guards show up and take her away. The crowd around us that had gathered now disperses, the girl in my arms wakes and looks around. She says, âThank you for getting rid of the mean lady. I went to bed yesterday and then I woke up in a dark room.â I looked at her and hugged her to me tighter, âWhereâs your mom sweetie?â I asked. âShe left me and I donât know where she went. She never came back.â she said. That broke my heart, âHoney , do you have any other family?â I asked. Her little chin wobbled and said, âNo it's just me.â I held her to me and decided on one thing, Iâm taking her home so she can have a happy life. âWhatâs your name honey?â âRaven, my name is Raven.â she said.
Time Skip(14 hours later)
Raven in my lap was so adorable, she was holding a piece of my hair and cuddled into my neck. Iâve always wanted a little sister, but all I got were brothers, at least I got plenty of presents when they visited. We arrived at the level our family would be picking us up on, Artem was snoring and his head was on my shoulder. So I knocked it off and he grunted at me, he looked at me and was about to talk when I stood up and started walking towards the door, which then opened. âCome on Artem we have to hurry up, our grandparents are coming to pick us up. We mustnât be late.â I said. All Artem did was grumble all the way to the terminal until we saw our grandparents. We smiled and ran into their arms and then they looked at a sleeping Raven in my arms. âWhoâs this little darling?â my grandmother asked. I looked at Raven, âThis is Raven, I plan on making her my ward. She came up to me on the Star Bridge and I found out she doesnât have a family.â "Oh the poor dear, such a shame. Ok sweetheart you can apply to be her guardian." My grandfather cleared his throat and said, "We are expected at the palace in an hour, you both will get ready on the way there." Artem and I both groaned, we both hate meeting with dignitaries, envoys, and other politicians. However we are meeting the Empire of our galaxy. Someone kill me now, how much more must I suffer if not to listen to 3 men talk and ignore us. Let the torture begin.
Cleon XIII
As my brothers and I wait in the throne room for guests I think about what little Ayla might look like now. The last time I saw her she was an infant, is her hair long or short? Are her eyes still a beautiful bright blue, is her hair still that platinum color? My train of thought is interrupted by Demerzel introducing the ReNarde family. "The ReNarde family patriarch and his family." "Thank you Demerzel, go back to where you were." Brother Day, blunt as always, holds no regards unless it is to his gain. "Empire, I thank you for your invitation to your home, but may I ask why." The patriarch asks.
"I suppose you may ReNarde patriarch. It is in regards to your only granddaughter attending the university. It is a small favor that I wish to ask of her." The family head looked surprised, "What would you ask of my granddaughter of importance that the empire would ask of himself?" âI ask that your granddaughter watch a professor at Streeling. Heâs been under surveillance but we donât know what he is planning.â Brother Day says. As he continues talking I look at Lady Ayla, as I look upon her however she is not what I was expecting. Tall, beautiful, pale, anad her eyes sparkle, a vibrant blue that is most captivating. She locks eyes with me and I realize Iâm entranced. She smiles and then focuses back on the conversation, she must be very intelligent to keep up with their jargon.Â
Demerzel then goes to the twins and escorts them, she looks back at me and has a look that says âcome hereâ. âBrothers, may I excuse myself?â Both look at me and nod and go back to their discussion. I exit the room and follow after the small group, when I get closer I notice a child clutching at Ayla. I notice that they look nothing alike and realize the child isnât hers. A sense of relief washes over meâŚ.
Wait! Relief over the fact that the child isnât hers. I must be sick, my heart was speeding up, I started sweating, what is wrong with me.Â
Ayla sees me and approaches, âHello Empire may you reign over the galaxy for many years to come.âÂ
I stand there frozen and not able to say anything, after a few seconds I realize Iâm being rude. I apologize and reply back, âLady Ayla, welcome back to Trantor and thank you for the kind words.â She smiles at me and goes to talk with Demerzel, her brother walks up to me with a blank stare on his face. âI see you appreciate my sister's beauty but I suggest you keep it to yourself and leave her alone. Sheâs been hurt enough by the person she was supposed to have trusted the most. So kindly stay away from my sister.â The boy walks away and leaves me to lead his sister to another room which Demerzel has shown them to.Â
Who could have possibly hurt the girl that her brother threatens me in my home, I must find out.Â
Narrator
The story continues and we follow the paragon and her Empire, what could have possibly hurt to the point that her brother felt the need to interfere? Will we be able to learn of it before it is too late, or will it be told by those who will be there to take the light. This will become a twisted web that our young paragon will need to unravel before it is too late and can no longer be what it is she wishes to become.Â
How the universe wishes to keep us from the truth that may traumatize us further, let us value the way it embraces and tries to protect us from more sinister forces.

Prologue
Narrator
Shima Homeworld is a planet of renowned beauty, known for its lush fields, bright blue oceans, and its millennium of culture.
This however is not where the story takes place, where we begin is the planet Trantor. The homeworld of the Genetic Dynasty, clones decantored at different ages. Dusk, Day, and Dawn, these clones make up the rulers of which rule the empire.
Our story starts on a day like any other, except for an important family close to the rulers of the empire. The ReNarde family was expecting the birth of twins, a boy and a girl. Not many would foretell that the girl born would become the greatest weakness to Cleon XIII. Born to two powerful families, a celebration would be had because she was a princess.
Cleon XIII (Age 10 currently Brother Dawn)
I stand next to Demerzel as we await entrance to the ReNarde abode. The birth of the twins was something to be celebrated, I donât completely understand it. Standing outside the property isnât what i expected to do today, I wanted to go to lessons and spend time with my brothers.
Demerzel is making greetings to the leaders of the family as my brothers and I look at the deor of the house. We were led to a grand room where a small crowd was clustered together. I walked over, not knowing what took over my body, I was then called out by the mother of the twins. A petite woman with long brown hair and pretty hazel eyes, they were shaped like almonds. She gestured me over, I donât know what compelled me to go to her. To her side stood a crib, with two bundles in it.
âHello young empire, these are my children Ayla and Artem.â The woman with hazel eyes said. âMy name is Kyoko ReNarde.â I looked from her to the children, the girl had platinum hair while the boy had stark black hair. Kyoko must have noticed she giggled and proceeded to say, âYes the twins' hair contrast shocked me as well but I assure you they are healthy.â
Brother Day came up to us and started congratulating Kyoko. He said, âCongratulations to the new mother, Demerzel, did you bring the gifts for the twins?â âYes empire, they were given to the attendants upon our arrival.â she replied.Â
As I continued to look at the twins, I couldnât keep my eyes off the girl, it seemed she couldnât stop staring at me as well.
Kyoko smiled at me and said, âInfants often can sense the best and the worst in us, that is why children are revered in most cultures.â I couldn't say a word, I just stared into the little girl's bright blue eyes and didnât say anything.Â
NarratorÂ
How would young Dawn know that this small bundle would alter his future just by staring into his eyes. He wouldnât, only time will tell, for the path he takes to be with her will be harrowing and long. Then again arenât the truest relationships built on the hope that it will last.
