The Price of Harmony

In a galaxy ravaged by war and haunted by the ever-expanding Dead Zones, Naia is a skilled Harmony Navigator - a person of extraordinary powers that can temporarily stabilize paths through them. Thus she was trained and recruited into the branch of the military known as Vanguard Operations. She finds her romance - a welcome stabilizing factor in her life - thrown into turmoil when the enigmatic and powerful soldier, Theia, joins her squad. It would be clear to anyone that the two women looked very much alike… and it was long clear to Naia that this woman was the one she was always meant to replace in Evander’s heart. Bound by duty, Naia must navigate not only the treacherous reality-bending terrain of the Dead Zones but also the growing tension and unspoken desires within their team. As her squad leader Evander's attention slips ever more towards the alluring and unpredictable Theia, the Navigator grapples with feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and a growing sense of isolation. Love & Duty - Or Duty & Sacrifice? A balance that the three can live with is sought. Will she be able to maintain her focus and fulfill her vital role in the war effort, or will the discord fomenting within their squad consume them all? Naia must confront the rising tide of chaos, both within herself and slowly building in the world around her… ultimately discovering the true price of harmony. ---- Romance-Drama with a Science-Fantasy setting. Messy Triangle - yes. An Omni-Directional one? At times, but it's not poly. Some FxM R-18/Smut... Interspersed tastefully and plot progressively. --In this author's opinion, anyway. * Eventual Les/Yuri/FxF scenes, yes. * You're Welcome. ---- If you like your love stories poking you in the feels in the middle of fantastical settings, check out my other works too! It's kind of what I do.

Chapter 33 - To Journey With Power

The airlock for the transit pod hissed as it sealed them inside. While housed in an EV suit, Naia couldn't really feel the familiar press of air pressure - but she could still hear the low hum of the shielding field activating. Low, but louder than that of a normal pod.

The vehicle designed for warping those with powers had a few key differences. A kind of greater protection was one of them. Unshielded warp travel could have adverse effects on individuals for a time after it was over. A sort of disorienting sickness that could persist.

Those with powers were especially susceptible, as their connection with the higher forms of universal energy acted almost like a conduit. Naia felt that she would probably not enjoy going through this unshielded, even if it wasn't for her trauma. She was grateful that Command had sent one of these special pods when she was recalled on the last mission with the 373.
