Lisi's choice will make... or break us.

Our Red Empress has gone all out for our first ever Halloween on Ula Nui post-independence. Lisi, the human abductee and abused & terrified former slave, is part of the past I'd like to finally leave behind me. Tonight, I'm embracing my present—happy, healthy, empowered, and working a job I love in The Pit.

Most importantly, I'm FREE. Free to make new choices... if I'm brave.

F'sah & Ss'tin share in the darker parts of my past as my former guards. Joining our revolt saved their lives. Since then, they've done the work on their own to grow and change in this new world we've built together, but will it be enough? I've healed the wounds they gave my mind and body, but risking my heart is a two way street. One we seem to be slowly walking on together—including Kartok a recent immigrant and doctor building a new life for himself.

Will F'sah & Ss'tin repair our dark past together? Will Kartok seize our moment for more? Or is this Halloween night only for fleeting fun?
