A Storms of the Sky short story Quarry Klaus recalls his youth, and most importantly, his mother.

Borne with their new ability, Star Bastet Mesbah must come to terms with their mistake: the murder of the Queen of Maylea. Tossed into too much they must find the balance outside and within themself, to continue on living as they watch their friend group crumple. Watching afar, Briar must watch her target and love Bastet shun her away. Met with the decision of life and death, Briar must decide what is most important to her, and if it is worth living in the hell that is her life. Star Nyx stays secluded on xer island, isolated and alone from everyone to hide. But this is an invitation. Come and find xem.

Every mythical world Bastet has read about is paradise compared to the hell they live in. Maylea is not that place. With some possessing unordinary abilities, two friends as different as the sun and sea, and a pretty assassin out for their head, Bastet has to learn the consequences of running away. Briar has always kept her mind at a distance. Maybe if things are put afar then she won't feel the sting. She's always been searching for an out, a way to escape her life and create a new one. That escape just might be the person she accidentally fell in love with. It might be the person she was ordered to kill. Nyx's theory is do harm be harmed. But nobody can touch you if you're up in the sky. Unfortunately , nobody ever tells you the burn out of a god. And all these visions of the world aren't helping xer's case. So, what happens when a Runaway, Assassin and God meet? ----- this is for my two beta readers. If you find this and want to read it go ahead! But there is a very long TW list and TW will be at the beginnings of chapters!!
