Science Fiction
Twenty years of hiding, twenty years of fighting, twenty years of being hunted like animals. Why keep going? What is the reason to continue on this meaningless existence, when it would be so easy to just slip away? The story of an ex-military resistance member, who's lost his way in the uncaring world of Advent occupation. On the other side of the coin, a Viper with no previous experience in human interaction, but a strong sense of survival. Though both soon find their lives upturned by the actions of Xcom, forcing an unlikely partnership between the species. TRIGGER WARNING! This work contains numerous references to suicidal actions and idealizations, as well as self-injurious behavior. If you feel at all uncomfortable with these subjects, turn back and let no one judge you. Strong and frequent use of adult terms and language. This is merely a work of fiction and I do not wish to offend.
