This story is part of Battle Of The Cubes. It's my submission to Royal Road's 2024 Community Magazine. Don't worry about which order in which to read Battle Of The Cubes, except for Adia, Scientist, Molly's Miracle Colonies, and the novel I'm working on now, Adia, One Of Prophecy. Becky's Gift and Ella's Saga also tie into this series, but are not the main stories. However, this one is very important to Battle Of The Cubes. 

It's not a novel, but at 15,191 words, it's a novelette, that length between short story and novella.

I'll be uploading the entire rest of it today, Jun 28, 2024, since I've made you wait so long for the conclusion. I usually upload on Tu, Th and Sat at 1 am, but I was working on Molly and then thought to make Granny my Jul 2024 Camp NaNoWriMo project. Now I'm thinking I will make Adia, One Of Prophecy that since I finished Granny.

Looking forward to your comments!

About The Cover

I created the characters in DAZ Studio. You can get it for free at daz3d.com and I always try to give the details about what models I used, to help other folks using this software.

Aine, or Granny, is a Genesis 8 Female older Black lady with ancestry from Somalia and Ireland.

Raynard had a morph for the huge eyes I needed

DogZ&Zev0 200 Plus Faces also contributed to his look

Most of these products were available from DAZ 3D. I think Raynard morphs are from the Catoon product, no longer available, sadly.

Did the expression with sliders.

For the background, I used a photo I took on Ponce de Leon Ave, Atlanta in 2006.
