“Is he with you?” I asked, gesturing with my thumb. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a figure in a hoodie a few dozen feet back leaning against a wall. Here was a guy who I wanted nothing to do with trying to pick a fight with me. By the end it became a piece about finding friendship in unsuspecting places and closed on a wholesome note. Typical fourth wall breaking, but I’d been pleasantly surprised several times watching it. A drama about a lonely girl whose world had come apart at the edges, causing her to realise her life was just a movie.

A movie I’d been waiting for had come out earlier in the week and this had been the first chance I’d had to see it. He was taking a really strange angle to approach mugging from though. He had a knife, I could see it strapped in a holster on his belt, which had me on edge. His clothes were rough around the edges, and I saw a bruise going up his neck and creeping over his jaw. The guy mugging me had a few inches over me, putting him at around six foot and forcing me to look up to meet his eyes. Being out at this time was asking for trouble and to top it off, I was pretty sure I’d made a wrong turn trying to get home. It had been cooked too hot and scalded my tongue on the first sip, but had just reached reasonable drinking temperature.
The only comfort was the still hot cup of cocoa I had bought on impulse ten minutes prior. It was late enough that the sun had gone down, I wasn’t familiar with the area yet, and this area was a particularly seedy area of an infamously seedy city. Fulfilled by one, and later sworn by Victorious. Oath sworn publicly by Archangel, Kinetic, and Hope after the third appearance of Quetzalcoatl. By my soul, I swear to stand on the shoulders of the fallen and seek vengeance.” By my mind, I swear to set aside the disputes that divide us when the inevitable arrives. “By my body, I swear to become the Aegis that protects the ones unable to protect themselves. There are many differences that will become evident as the story progresses. Duality has a very different tone, and the story is frankly different when you look past the apparent similarities in the setting.

But SpaceBattles demands, and who am I to say no? Plus I wanted to upload it, so I was negotiating from the weaker position, and negotiations were very short.
Like, seriously, I cannot overstate how much of a spoiler that is. Armed with an unconventional superpower, Michael signs on with the heroes in an attempt to do good, only to find his heroes aren’t as heroic as they appear, and struggles to hold on to himself as the morals get gradually greyer and the risks grow ever higher.Īuthor's note: The title "Duality" was too short for SB to let me start the thread, so I compromised, and gave an additional title that hints to things happening in the background and down the line. Michael is faced time and again with danger in a world populated by superpowered transhumans that have taken to heroism and villainy, and the monsters that have taken to destroying both. Duality is the story of broken people with extraordinary abilities.
