A FRIEND IN NEED<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a heat behind my eyes. I\u2019d forgotten warmth, what it felt like. All I can make out are the weapons pointed at my face. If this is my fate, I will end with the fury of a tempest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLower your guns!\u201d<\/p>\n

Petra? <\/p>\n

\u201cEris Morn. Apologies for the welcome. Never know what will come out of there.\u201d  <\/p>\n

The Dreaming City. I did not think I ever would set foot here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis place\u2026 it\u2019s miraculous .\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t get used to it. We won\u2019t be staying long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere  are we going?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see the Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Witch  aims to bait me. I require your guidance, my Queen .\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is calculated, meticulous. Proceed cautiously. Her intent is obscured.\u201d<\/p>\n

My Queen  is wise. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhere do we begin?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEris\u2026 there is understandable urgency in this matter\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Not you too. Please do not think lesser of me. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou were on the brink of death. That is not a loss I\u2019m willing to bear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shadow of death cannot hinder me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She takes a concerned pause at my words. Did I misspeak?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou walk a thin line between duty and obsession. Take it from one with experience.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI am driven, but only due to what is at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what is that to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cMy Queen \u2026 everything. Human and Awoken alike will wash up on the shores of death if we do not act.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. What is it to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026vengeance.\u201d<\/p>\n

I watch as she deliberates the validity of my claims. To be dismissed as mad now would be my end.<\/p>\n

\u201cA noble cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same desire runs through my Queen\u2019s  veins.<\/p>\n

\u201cSavath\u00fbn\u2019s cunning has its limits… We retrieved a log dating back to the Golden Age that may aid in deciphering Her  riddles. It is one of many. The rest are scattered across the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI must seek them all out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not have to do it alone.\u201d <\/p>\n

My queen.<\/p>\n

The months working alongside my Queen  were exhilarating and treacherous. I\u2019ve traversed more of the known universe than I ever thought I would see. Through all the vile creatures vanquished and treasures discovered lurks a new sensation\u2026 A place in this story.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve collected several of the logs we seek. Each offers a new perspective on the threat we all face. The Golden Age understanding of the concepts of Light and Darkness were primitive, nascent. I wonder if in the millennia that will come to pass, our comprehension will be viewed similarly. It matters not, if we are unable to avoid our looming calamity.<\/p>\n

We have come so far, and now I feel our journey coming to a close.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s here, in these ruins. I can sense it.<\/p>\n

I push the refuse off an ancient chest.<\/p>\n

Inside\u2014what we\u2019ve been searching for.<\/p>\n

I read. My worst fears confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Queen \u2026 it\u2019s been there all along.\u201d<\/p>\n

To think I must return to those twisted tunnels where the screams of my fireteam will undoubtedly reverberate throughout my mind\u2026<\/p>\n

My fate is eternally bound to that place.<\/p>\n

There is no escape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
