Original sci‑fi short story with HFY vibes. A mercenary named Kian lands on the ice world Ilya‑13 to retrieve a “bio‑key” for Helix—until a woman rises from a hot spring and the water starts to sing. He covers her with his coat, ignores the order to seize her, and together they awaken a planet’s memory.
This is a story about choice, dignity, and a world that refuses to forget. Stay to the end to hear the planet’s song.Chapters
