Mines of Hestra
Elian pulled the hood of his red cloak tighter and adjusted the black mask
covering his scarred face. From his vantage point atop the windswept and
long-abandoned watchtower, he looked out over the vast desolate landscape
of Hestra. For as far as the eye could see, the land was pitted with great scars
that marked the heart of the Imperium’s mining industry. Each pit was
worked by tens of thousands of slaves from right across the Supremes’
Empire. Somewhere down there in that maze of tunnels and misery was his
parents and the other captured denizens of his home village of Fork. A sound
came from far below; it was one of the many trains that carried fresh slaves
into the meat grinder. The engine was barrelling down the tracks towards the
nearby rail depot. A perfect way in. He crouched and braced himself.

Channelling Anger, he felt the Power surge through his legs. He jumped.
The leap taking him out above the train tracks far below, whistling air filled
his ears as he fell, his cloak billowing out behind him. With a thud, he
landed on the roof of the train, the impact creating a dent in the metal. Rising
from the landing, he kept low and made his way towards the locomotive. In
the carriages beneath his feet came the desperate cries of hundreds of men,
women and children. With the rebellion spreading across the Imperium more
and more people were being rounded up and sent to the mines. Hestra was
the main source of iron ore and coal, the commodities that fuelled the
Imperium war machine.

Maintaining his balance, Elian reached the rear of the locomotive. Thick
black smoke billowing from the chimney obscured him from the driver and
stoker’s view. Lowering himself from the roof of the carriage he reached
down to the carriage’s coupling. With Anger, he gripped the pin and pulled.
With a satisfying clunk, the locomotive was detached from its human cargo.

Quickly, the engine sped on, but the carriages fell back as they lost their
momentum. The slaves were now safe. Once Marcian and his force of
Liberators arrived they would free them from their bonds.
A surprised shout came from behind him. The engine crew were now aware
of his presence. The burly soot covered stoker gripped his shovel tightly and
advanced. With a shout, he swung the makeshift weapon, but Elian tapped
into Fear allowing him to move at incredible speed. With ease, he dodged
the stoker’s clumsy attack and shot out a hand. He grabbed the end of the
shovel and with a burst of Anger hurled the stoker from the speeding train.

He didn’t look to see the mess the man-made from striking the iron tracks at
over sixty miles per hour. His attention fixed on the driver who reached for
the small pistol in his overalls pocket. Elian narrowed his eyes and focused
on the panicking driver. His breathing increased, and his pupils widened as
he channelled the emotion of Anticipation. The world slowed to a crawl, and
the driver before him appeared to split into several ghost-like images.
