A Vanguard Double Feature

Merriandra updates her popular Vanguard-themed fanfiction series "Rain and Roses" with episode IV (and it's sure not to disappoint like that other Episode IV).

Her eyes opened, unfocused, looking at the past, not the present. The next would be the hardest, the actual telling. Now it was just a disconnected narrative, as if she were still in the army and giving a report on the day’s work. He noticed that her speech didn’t slip into the patterns of her home. No, instead her words were without accent or dialect.

And, don't miss the latest artwork from Niborea:

As he scouted ahead he caught a glimpse of something out of place. Proceeding causiously, the ranger bend down to investigate further. He would need to tell the others he had found the rare herb they'd been serching days for. He didn't mind, they paid him well for his time and expert tracking skills. He'd let the others handle things from here, for he knew that even though it looked harmless, it could mean instant death if the leaves touched the skin.
