In the fractured world of Arcadia, where superhuman abilities are both a blessing and a curse, some powers carry consequences more devastating than any external threat. Levi, the Twisted Mirror, discovers this brutal truth when his unique ability—creating and reabsorbing mirror copies of himself—transforms from a tactical advantage to a personal nightmare. The moment he touches his newborn son Sean, erasing an entire potential life in an instant, reveals the terrifying cost of power unchecked by understanding or restraint. Through Sol’s haunted perspective, we witness a profound meditation on identity, the fragility of existence, and the monstrous potential that lurks……
Sol.18 – Becoming Prime
Eight Years Ago
Sitting on the laughably called ‘bed’ in my room, it was just a futon on the wooden floor. I thought about what had happened with Valkyr. I was alone in my room again, the faint scent of Valkyr still lingering in the air as if to mock me. My cheeks burning with humiliation and guilt from the tongue lashing I had gotten from whom I considered my closest friend.
At first we had both avoided talking of old times. Too afraid to pick that scab and start the bleeding again. He told me about his modelling jobs, about how……

Sol.17 – Levi Prime
Present Day
I was slowly roused out of a dream that I was being burnt alive but for some reason I was treating it more as an annoyance than death. I slowly came to as I head the sound of someone trying to navigate the minefield of old plates of food and dirty clothes piles that were strewn around the floor of my generously labelled “Office”.
I tried to crack an encrusted eye but it wouldn’t……

Sol.16 – Bronski
Present Day
I had somehow made it back to my place last night and crashed. My body cashed the cheques I had banked up while my mind shied away from any form of coherent thought. The pain, guilt and shame I had felt left me with fever dreams, reliving memories I had long since buried or in same cases thought I had made peace with.
Upon waking after midday the inside of my mouth tasted like the Barley Boys had partied in it, my ribs were still creaking in pain and all I wanted was a drink. The case of room temp……

Sol.15 – Becoming Harder
Seven Years Ago
The sounds of a shamisen filled the temple and floated out through the open doors and into the mountains. I breathed in easily, held it and breathed out. The twinge in my legs breaking my concentration. I tried to stop myself from reaching down and massaging them but I couldn’t help it, same as I had not been able to stop for the past 3 years since Valkyr had worked his……

Sol.14 – Facing the Whitehands
Present Day
3Ball shuffled through the papers on his desk, barely reading them. He was furious. It was a cold fury, he had had long enough now for the heat of it to die down and be banked into coals.
The man had tried to stop Sol. It really threw a spanner in his plans, 3Balls’ carefully constructed narrative was teetering on the edge now, he needed to know how much those idiots had said to Sol. How much had they given away. Maybe more importantly though, how had they failed to mind slave a drunkard.
3Ball changed the music to something more……
