Okoye remained in silent contemplation until Jaq and Subori proposed their offer. Their suggestion mirrored Zero’s, but with a key difference: they offered tangible incentives where Zero had leaned solely on the gravity of the cause. The mention of siege weapons tugged at her resolve — she couldn’t ...

Okoye stood steady, unfazed as the Buster Rifle’s wild misfire scorched the air, its energy veering off-course. Subori’s attempt to shield her, though lacking in the appropriate muscle, was not lost on her. She silently acknowledged his effort with a subtle glance but chose to raise her own hand ...

..Jaq’s chest heaved as Okoye disparaged Zero’s character, compelling her to spit back without a single signed word, “He’s going to come back!”Jaq shot to their feet and stood right next to Subori glaring at Okoye. Subori gave Jaq a judgmental once over with his eyes as he moved half a step away ...

Okoye absorbed Subori’s words with a calm exterior, though beneath her steady gaze, her mind was working tirelessly.

Okoye descended from the sky, her feet landing softly on the grass covered stones of Neovia, as her demonic mount dissolved into the air behind her. The creature, with its massive wings and shadowy form, had been a constant companion during her journey, a symbol of the power she had gained in the ...

Okoye's gaze went inward, wondering just how she could appropriately answer Ovan's question. What had She gained, other than power and perhaps more strife than she reckoned for. Despite conquering the demon, Asura, Okoye was unsure whether or not the Voudani people were exercised from its clutches ...

Okoye was still struggling to maintain her balance. The dim light filtering through the room cast long shadows that added to the solemn atmosphere. The air felt heavy with the weight of uncertainty, each of her labored breaths a reminder of the precariousness of her situation. Yet, amidst the ...
