The title "The Shield and the Sword" could symbolize the two central characters, Cassandra and Caylus, representing the dual forces of protection and strength within the story. Here's how it breaks down:
1. Cassandra as the Sword: Cassandra, with her assassin skills, represents the offensive and aggressive side of the rebellion, the "sword." She is the one who fights directly, leading the charge in battle, making strategic strikes, and engaging in physical combat. Her role is to defeat enemies, lead offensives, and protect those she loves by destroying the forces that threaten them.
2. Caylus as the Shield: On the other hand, Caylus, though only 10, embodies the "shield." His role might be more symbolic as someone who, even in his youth, represents the hope, innocence, and the reason why Cassandra fights. He is the one who needs protecting, but also, as a mark-man, he has the ability to contribute in ways that act as a shield to their cause-perhaps through intelligence, stealth, or even strategic support from the sidelines.
In this dynamic, Cassandra is the protector and the warrior, fighting on the front lines with her sword, while Caylus, though young and innocent, is her heart and her shield, reminding her of why they continue to fight. Together, they form a complementary bond of strength, where one's role is to defend and the other's is to strike.
In this way, the title fits not just the physical roles but also the emotional and thematic weight of their relationship. Cassandra is the warrior who actively engages in battle, while Caylus is the symbol of the innocence and future they're fighting to protect, thus offering an emotional shield to her fierce nature.

Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Concluída

Before Rift Apart (Complete)
Original Story here on Wattpad. No other accounts made. This story is meant to explain events prior to Rift Apart to build up Rivet as a character. This is meant for imagination only as we don't have a fully done back story for Rivet's behavior, and I don't own Rivet as a character, or the world(s) she shares. Those are owned by Insomniac Games.(if you need a writer IG, totally game for that.) Backround we know: unlike her dimensional counterpart: Ratchet, Rivet distrusts robots, and for that matter, most people due to the regime she lives in. That of Emperor Nefarious. Before Rift Apart, Rivet was already hailed a hero in her galaxy, despite never actually having won a fight against the Emperor. Her distrust is a huge and important part of her character we barely scratch in-game due to a good momentum of story with only sprinkles of who she is. Her canon outfit(non-armor) has a scarf to it, despite her living on acid swamp world like Sargasso. Some of this story is told from Rivet's POV, from the POV's of others, as well as just story narration. Things this story is meant to touch on: Rivet's early life before the Resistance. Rivet's reason for eventually joining the Resistance. Why Rivet wears a scarf (not really important, but details are nice..) Her distrust for robots. The loss of her arm. Why she simply refuses to give up. Meeting Pierre Keep in mind, minus her distrust of robots, and the loss of her arm, none of this is canon.Concluída
