It's Always Darkest

"What, that they're working to pit Athelon and Reblox against each other, so they can move in afterwards?"
"I believe we are all on the same page with this. Bragdon infiltrators executed the Northstars and clearly pointed their fingers at us."
Loresk chuckled. "This is true, and unforgivable, something for which Braxis will pay dearly."
"After Athelon is dealt with?"
"After Athelon is dealt with."
Flurogh cupped his chin with two thick fingers. This made him uneasy. If Braxis was truly working in the shadows to disrupt relations between Athelon and Reblox, perhaps Athelon wasn't a true enemy? Perhaps the entire crux of this war was based on Braxis lies? If that were the case, were they transporting a massive weapon with the sole purpose of executing thousands of innocent civilians?
Did Loresk have something else in mind?
Flurogh took a few steps towards one of the outer windows and looked out upon the vastness of space, pin pricked by countless tiny white stars. Mixed in with the stars he could see at least three dozen smaller Reblox ships moving in determined formation alongside the largest cruiser in the Reblon fleet, heading towards the floating green orb of Athelon, a planet of millions, most of them innocents.
By the time this was all said and done, would they feel right in what they had accomplished, or would a higher power stand in judgment of their deeds and find them lacking?
Could he change Loresk's mind, or would he be risking death to even try?
There are too many questions and too many options for one who lives and dies by planning, and too often lately planning is becoming more and more impossible.
Time will tell...but time itself is running short.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in San Diego, California, Justin Bell has lived most of his life in the sleepy Upper Valley area on the New Hampshire and Vermont border, near where The Fog of Dreams takes place. He first realized his love of writing at a young age, and had grand visions to go to school for English. Somehow, he sidetracked into the world of Information Technology as a career, but throughout it all, he continued to write and write often.
The world of self-publishing has opened up his eyes, and in recent years, he has embraced writing much more thoroughly, polishing some work from past decades, and working on new material as well.
With an interest in military adventure, science fiction, and action, the focus of most of his work is within those genres.
He currently still resides in the Upper Valley area, and lives with his two beautiful little girls, his wife, and his part Bichon/part Rottweiler dog Maxwell.
