N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte. You should not give her yet another crazy flash fiction challenge to take part in because she simply cannot say "no" to it.

The first sun had already risen by the time Beyari emerged from the plant room. QWERTY eyed her and the harvested lemongrass she carried to the galley. "One of those dreams again?" "Yeah." Beyari set up the kettle to boil water. "Rough enough to make Yak-Dayn cry."

Ever since the invention of functioning time travel, the course of history and future has started to blur... I yawned. Thanks to time travel, this essay, too, might go out of existence at any given moment. Yay. The fact that this moment could cease to exist made it difficult to care enough to put any effort into all this, no matter how much the scientists clamored about the multiverse theory and how it meant that our lives would never just pop out of existence, no matter who did what in the past.

Beyari dreams of Yak-Dayn. Like most dreams about her former mentor, it starts at the field near the Wara Order's headquarters on Frio-Lont. It was one her favorite places to be as an apprentice, the tallest grasses easily hiding her. Whenever everything became too much for her to take, she hid in the tall grasses. Unable to see the sky through all the vegetation, surrounded by nothing but life that could not care less about her, the only sounds being the wind, the chirping of insects and her heartbeat going from too loud to quiet enough, it was easy to feel like she was hiding from everything. Like not even the Night-Lights who had selected her as an Inzin could see or find her.

Despite his fatigue, Steirdrar could not sleep. The conversation he had had with Agent Ket over dinner and later drinks kept making rounds in his head, all the things he had learned about the Eskel-Zai and everything he had shared about himself with her cataloguing into neat compartments.

Steirdrar returned from the successful mission, uninjured aside from a few bruises and a road rash, to an immediately tensing intelligence department. Everyone who was on shift looked at him with expressions of fear or concern. Now what?

Steirdrar heard snickers and murmurs about formality behind his back before he had even left the office, the nosiest not having bothered with any kind of discretion in their hunger for more gossip material. Whatever. Maybe this would give people something other than his past actions to talk about.
