The canister cracked onto the ground with a startling clank, and Pandora jolted out of her sleep, pointing a blaster out at the shadows. Before her Mercury lay dazed, the fuel can split open and leaking a few feet from his bloodied head. Slowly she turned, surveying the surrounding rock, even as her mind raced to guess her unseen attacker. 

“Mercury?” Pandora hesitantly stood to make her way to her friend, “Are you still here?”

Mercury groaned in response and clutched his forehead, “Shi...”

​Mercury watched a group of shadows creep over a distant dune. Lowering the spyglass he tensed his shoulders and took on a serious tone.


“There’s a pack of wild chalupas out there.”


Pandora growled as she pulled a heavy blanket over her head, “Chupacabra. If you’re going to be on watch try not to narrate.”


She pushed her back up against the side of the treader, shielding herself from the light of a full moon. It had been a long ride from the battle aboard the Hesperides, and Pandora was more than exhausted. Authority patrols swept over the dunes searching for the fleeing combatants forcing the pair to travel well out of their path home to avoid detection.

​Black skycraft swept in though the shattered dome, two descended to the deck and the third remained to keep watch near the opening.

“Why are they here?” whispered Lacea, slipping a dinner knife into the sleeve of her jacket.


“Because I am here.’ offered Andrew, ‘You need to leave.”


“What do we do?” asked Merc as he rose to his feet.


“Make yourselves scarce, find cover” the Professor’s face turned grey, “do not let them find you.”


Lacea nodded and taking Merc by the wrist sprinted behind the strange tree. No sooner had they ducked out of sight two figures dropped from the Resistance skycrafts and began to approach the Professor.

​Pandora retreated to the back of the garage, stepping carefully to avoid scattered tools that Wrench had left lying about. She pulled aside a canvas drape revealing the weathered airship beneath. Worry and admiration trickled through Pandora's mind as she weighed time against Wrench's progress on the vessel.

Chapter 15: A Forfeit Paid

Jaa had reached the bottom of the well. The well hadn't had water for centuries, save for a thin layer at the bottom. Jaa could see the scarlet light, but its origin was larger than Jaa expected. Jaa walked forward towards the scarlet light. The scarlet light came from a cavern filled with rubies which scintillated in the light of two torches. At the end of the cavern sat a granite throne upon which sat a six-winged creature. The creature appeared hewn out of a piece of granite. The creature's eyes were like gleaming rubies.

Chapter 14: Qel'qhet

​Delumer's now vacuous form roamed through Qel'qhet, the forest in which she lived. Very few humans inhabited or hunted in Qel'qhet, which caused animal life to flourish. Aside from animals, many other revenants besides Delumer made their homes there, safe from any human civilization. The low human populous was not by weather, resources, or any other natural feature, but by diseases which Delumer had constrained to the woodland. Delumer spared a smattering of humans who had experience in plant and animal magic and had respect for the forest.

​Embers flickered bright and red against the blue night as they floated up to join the stars above. A lone strix called from its rocky perch above the garage. The wind wound slowly over the desert chilling the air near freezing temperatures. Mercury, taking advantage of the smoldering Authority propaganda, had begun to warm bits of flatbread near the fire outside the bunker. He pondered how Pandora expected to get paid for burning the posters when it was intended for them to be hung around neighboring outposts.

...seven weeks after the last Halleaux


The malfunctioning lights flickered like an artificial thunderstorm within the iron halls of Roanoak. Blackouts had become a regular event within the base, but this was the first since Commander Petra had ordered the disarming of the Resistance as they prepared to carry the Gospel into the city.

The coils of lightning surged down Pandora's wrist with a terrible buzzing sound as her cord ignited. Swinging over her shoulder and then back across, the whip cut the metal door to Mech's armory into six pieces. Alarms blared and the din of pursuers could be heard down the hall. Pandora shoved crates and steel boxes aside as she searched the room. Four lights from her helm illuminated the darkness that flooded the armory at interval with the red glow of the alarm beacon. Finally a pale light answered the lights from Pandora's own helm. A glass orb sat sealed in a pile of time jump tech, and within shone the pale light.

the Metal Pyramid

​Ren’s sword rested on a stand atop Petra’s desk. It had been two days since his death and the whole army was feeling the shock. A man who had once seemed untouchable now rested in the unjust clutches of death. Then again Petra thought is the death of any one of these soldiers fair? She sat in the darkness of her office, the only light emitting from a small lamp that sat on her desk, providing just enough light to see to the edge. Her steepled fingers pressed against her lips as she pondered the Rebellion’s next move. Just for a minute she wished Ren was there. He would have known what to do. He would have known where to go, how to precede, how to move forward. She closed her eyes, deep in thought. She heard a rustle near the direction of the door.

​In a secluded corner of Queen Amelda's palace, Ahlogneir, Antlousai, Jaa, Meldontha, Novaci, and Toryna appeared. They hadn't been there long when a portal opened near them. Out of the portal flew a small book. After the portal spewed out its content, the portal closed as quickly as it had opened. The book landed at the feet of Toryna. Toryna picked it up and opened it. The book was a small, leather-bound journal with a brown string wrapped around it.
