The Alien's Fate

Axlos

My people are fighting for their lives against a power determined to rip our planet apart for a valuable energy source. I am on the front lines, leading our forces. I knew this would be my fate if we went to war, and I don't expect to survive. My only regret? Not telling Arria, the shy little human we rescued, that I loved her. Now it's too late. I've taken my last steps on my home planet of Heveia. I'll fight to the end alongside my warriors to ensure that my people survive. That she survives.

Arria

I may be one small, quiet human, but I have a knack for a few things. One of them is seeing patterns that even computers miss. When I unlock an enemy command cipher, I know it can help our forces, but the algorithms disagree, and it's deemed too risky to send me out in the middle of battle. Instead, I do the riskiest thing I've ever done and steal a shuttle with the help of a friendly cybot. When we arrive on Axlos' ship, his feelings become crystal clear. Amid a battle that will end the war-one way or another-I learn if I can open my heart or if the scars of my past will determine my future.

Contains mature themes.
