the Blind Guardian: A New Life

Chapter Two

"I went to a hair salon and got it cut." I said as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Oh. It looks gorgeous on you, though," Gamora said as I heard the holographic communicator ring.

Gamora must've tapped on it, but I heard a representative of my least favorite person.

High Priestess Ayesha of the Sovereign.

Total snob who hates Chleorians since their visit to Chleoria, which thankfully is three jumps away.

"Is this the Guardians of the Galaxy?" The golden girl asked.
