Mira felt more than saw the citizens of Chilon surrounding her. There was very little surprise at Sandy's condition, but she should probably expect that from a city in the realm of Bravery. Danger was as fundamental to the land as the loss that inevitably followed.Mira didn't look away from Sandy. What was she even supposed to be doing here? Imagining her new friend not dying—what did that even mean? Maybe that meant Kallisto would show up behind her and put a knife in her back. She didn't, though.…-

Tracy stared back at Rose. He might’ve been the one to scream at her an hour ago, but the anger and betrayal had cooled during his visit to the library. He was too tired for any righteous indignation, no matter how entitled to it he might be. “You could’ve just asked what I was doing here,” he said, flipping the binder closed with one hoof. “I would’ve told you. I wasn’t keeping any secrets.”She rolled her eyes, stalking towards the table. Rose began scooping up her belongings, thankfully…-

Chaos overflowed around her. The air filled with dust, and the harsh echo of gunfire. As a human being, she'd been trained to deal with situations like this. But all that training and practice couldn’t help her as a cat—she could only press herself to the ground, cowering in terror. What was going on? Why was everything so loud? What was that awful smell of burning?“Child. Open your eyes. Look at me.”His voice might not have pierced the awful noise if it came as word alone. But Capper's speech cut…-

Lane floated through the jungle, only bobbing slightly as she flew. So long as she didn't try to move too quickly, it was easy enough to keep herself above the ground while simultaneously moving forward. But try to move too fast along one axis, and she'd lag in the other. "Do I have to find more motivation for you, kitten? I will let you eat meat if you do this. I'm not just saying that. It’s so much tastier than seaweed." Korina bobbed along behind her through the early…-

We couldn’t exactly go anywhere to escape the presence of our rescuer—his strange device was the only reason we were still alive, slicing through the ash and somehow leaving an intact trail behind. I couldn’t begin to imagine how it could actually work, or how it could produce traversable paths without having them collapse on us. But that also mattered far less to me.I had a captive subject for an interview, so long as he didn’t leave us behind. So under the increasing weight of ash over our heads,…-

Chapter 14It’s… kind of amazing you have time for this,” Jackie said, when she was laying down with her back against a metal headboard.

Not when she knew what was coming. “Trying to help all of us, I mean. They tell us about you in Unity… the two of you rule this whole country. You’re like… half of the president. With enough time to be a doctor…-

She felt movement in her sleep, and a few dim impressions of distant voices trying to wake her. She could smell their worry and concern even while asleep, and that made her feel a little warmer.
