Emryc was on the couch at the Thorne manor in a rare moment of downtime. He was sipping from one of his vegan smoothies while watching some local political news. The Consortium had grown stagnant, and he knew it. He would have to start making some waves again to secure another long term in...

Emryc was not normally a man of emotions. With the loss of Raze, he was able to express them easier, but his half Sephi heritage still kept him largely muted on that front. However, when news of Julia’s death broke, he sat in stunned silence for a long time. He thought of the early days of...

The President of the ISC was on his way to a diplomatic briefing when he felt a sudden, piercing pain in his mind. It was overwhelming enough to where he stumbled and collapsed right there in the lobby. His droids rushed to his side, along with an entire entourage of staffers. He squeezed his...

Emryc, the President of the ISC, the most powerful and largest governing body in the galaxy, stared blankly as Senator D’Avignon told the hall that the Emperor was ‘too busy’. He wasn’t going to poke holes into her counterpoints because it was clear she didn’t buy into half of what she was...

Emryc kept a stoic face despite fighting the urge to roll his eyes. His ISC senators were refuting one another and neither of them were making their points articulately. Tendree essentially handed the Imperial Senators talking points to use which meant the Imperials didn’t even need to come up...

Like Carrick, Emryc often didn’t see the point of these sessions. He wasn’t briefed on what Hugo Parasini intended to present on the agenda item concerning the Empire’s membership of the Senate. With the ISC not being a complete totalitarian regime, it often meant other ISC senators put in...

Emryc didn’t get this far in politics without being ruthless. He had stayed largely silent as his daughter made her big splash on the galactic political scene. He didn’t offer public endorsements nor condemnation, keeping his distance to allow her to establish her own career. However, even he...

Moments of silence lingered after that, and Emryc had nothing else to say on the topic. It was nothing but the distance chirping of birds and the sounds of the waves rolling and receding. Emryc finished off another fruit and stretched briefly, his shoulders cracking. He couldn’t remember his...

Emryc was silent for a moment, pondering his husband’s words, “On the contrary,” He stated curtly, “I do not consider our children infallible,” He finished. Jaikus may have thought Jayna was incapable of outright stupidity, but Emryc did not consider their children without flaws. Even if he had...

Emryc bristled at Jaikus’ notion of accepting this Dash Pavan. However, even he had to admit the Pavans were established names and came from wealth. The boy had grown up in comfort enough to avoid becoming a leech…hopefully. And there was the matter that Dash had anchored Ezra. There was no...

Emryc quirked a brow as he looked at her, “Her wanting to go into arts is more like you than you realize,” He said dryly as he took a seat. While he didn’t voice this aloud, he couldn’t help but notice how relaxed Tia was now around him - more than she had ever been in the past. There was no...

--- Hours had passed, and he didn’t care how many. The sun was still high in the sky, summer seasons calling for far longer days. They were out of the water and Jaikus managed to fall asleep in the grass. Deciding he didn’t feel like putting up with the snoring, Emryc went for a jog around the...

Emryc would never say this aloud, but at times he missed having Raze confined within his mind. While the entity was entirely too unbearable when fully unleashed, inside the confines of his mind Raze served as a perfect guardrail against spiraling emotions and disappointment. While Emryc was...

Emryc turned to regard Jaikus, watching him as he moved to close the distance. He looked different than when they first met, but the vibrant emerald eyes were the same, as was that sultry smirk. He tilted his head to accept the kiss, his fingers gingerly tracing down his husband’s back, sliding...

Emryc expected retaliation, of course. The cool water splashed against him, and almost took him under. However, he bore down where he stood, grinning with his hands in his shorts pockets as the water slid off his body. His styled hair was matted now, but he was largely unfazed. After all, the...
