How many of us have had a secret acknowledgement of understanding with a person, demanding no language; the unsaid being the strongest bond? A silent beating. A satisfaction guaranteed. People on different planes need words; rivals don't. Here is the story of Skyra which represents exactly the same elements. There is something about Ridaline that only Skyra can see and there is something about Skyra that has got Ridaline pissed. Their psychological connection becomes stronger as time flows, and the daggers they got for each other sharper. Can Skyra save her Prestoria? A mental game with extension of all normal parameters of human tendencies, transcending beyond conventional boundaries. Sheer intolerance of somebody's being, distortion of all accepted laws- all reaching towards the summation of a clean victory.
