FFM 2020 1: Refugees
While our humanitarian work was a point of pride for Earth, I must admit that the system took a heavy hit when our allies, the Glieseans, lost their home planet in the Gliese 667 system. With a planet and population far bigger than our own, even when the rest of the Inter-Galactic Union (IGU) did their part in taking refugees in, we were stretched thin.
Prose-ject 2020 30: The Journey’s End
At first, my blade-to-blade battle with the ghoul went well. We were evenly matched, with the ghoul having become slightly rusty with no challengers while I had honed myself for months. When it came to magic, I was having more trouble, but the Harmony Blade kept me safe.
Prose-ject 2020 29: A Departing Scout
Jeff was leaving on a scouting round again. He said that he had seen an interesting new building which we might be able to blow up if we got close enough.

They say that there's no place like home. I say that they're right.
Prose-ject 2020 26: Immediate Danger

Prose-ject 2020 25: Magic-augmented Items
Ria told me that being able to use augmented items to cast spells took long training and the basic skill at casting spells normally, but otherwise it was actually quite easy. It did require more concentration than normal casting, but the increased power was worth it if the augmented item was strong enough.
Prose-ject 2020 24: The Daylight Beast
We had been hunting the Daylight Beast for a week when we finally found it.
Prose-ject 2020 22: Among Strings of Manipulation
Even though she lacked her memories of her previous life, Louise still knew how to spot the hidden strings of manipulation when she saw them.
