The screams of battle faded behind me, as the clouds of toxic ash
whirled around us, kicked up by the invisible mechanism of our
hovercrafts. Blood dried on my arms and face like ink blots that
changed shape each time I dared lift my palm to try and rub the tears away
from my eyes, but I felt like one of the fountains from Denvato, pulling up
moisture from somewhere deep below.

It seemed unfair that time should continue. That new landscapes should
exist to fill in the blank spaces beyond my vision. My head was filled with
macabre scenes. Rushing back and killing Farrah, storming the walls if I
had to. Smashing open the wooden sanctuary that had become Damien’s
prison. Blighting out the sun if I had to. The sun I’d released, by removing
the veil of toxic skies.
The wind rushed in my ears, but the hum of the fans beneath us were
quieter than their vibrations suggested, and the ride was much smoother
than the horse and carriage. We never had to slow down or go around rocks
or debris, as the craft flew a few feet off the ground, scattering dust and
leaves behind us. The landscape flashed around us like a moving picture. At
first, I tried to keep my sense of direction, but the sun was spinning in
circles above us and I gave up. I tried counting the signs I recognized, that
Damien had pointed out earlier. Anything to block out the specter of
Jazmine’s face, just before she got ripped apart. One moment she was
standing there with a half-smile, her brown eyes expressive and full of
emotion, then—
My stomach twisted in knots. I fantasized about hunting down the
slagpaw, cutting them open, pulling the pieces of Jazmine out of their
bellies and dousing them with elixir until they begin to bind themselves
together. I replayed our final moments a thousand times, seeking ways it
could have gone differently. Finding fault with every decision since leaving
Iklebot.
I felt a buzzing in my ears, like a hive of bees. I thought it was
mechanical at first, but then the world got deathly silent, as my heart
pounded between my ears. It wasn’t the craft, it was me. I was broken. I
jerked back a sob, causing the rider in front of me to flinch.
“You good?” He shouted.
“Fine,” I said. I forced a few slow, ragged breaths, but my whole body
was trembling and my skin felt like it was on fire. My teeth chattered
between my jaws and even my skull felt brittle.
“Too much elixir,” our guide called back. “Ride it out.”
I felt like I should be asking him questions, but my head was foggy.
Who was he, where was he taking us? I couldn’t care enough about the
answers to incite a conversation, shouting above the wind.
