Among the Ruins of Light T-shirt

The hangar slept beneath the twin moons, its metal bones humming with the slow breath of machines. Lieutenant Kael Arden stood in the blue light, his flight jacket unzipped, his gaze locked on the horizon where the world ended and the void began. Behind him, the strike carrier rose like a city in the sky, its decks stacked with fighters that would never all return.

He had grown up believing the war was about freedom. But years of dogfights and dead friends had blurred the lines. Every empire swore it was the good one. Every rebellion thought it was righteous. Out here, truth was just another casualty.

Kael reached out and ran a hand along the fuselage of his starfighter. The metal was cold, scarred, and familiar—like the hilt of an old weapon. Somewhere above, enemy patrols drifted in the dark, their engines silent, their intentions obvious. The battle would come again, and soon. It always did.

He looked up at the moons. One was whole, the other fractured, as if even the heavens had taken sides. The light touched his face, and for a moment, he almost believed in peace.

But peace was a rumor soldiers told themselves to keep flying.

Kael climbed into the cockpit, sealed the hatch, and let the engines roar. The sky split open, and he disappeared into it, just another shadow in a galaxy that had forgotten how to rest.
