But now I have too much to live for. I watch as Kane halts us, putting his finger to his lips, “Shhh, we don’t know if anything is out there,” he whispers. Veronica and I nod as the three men move the boulder. I watch as she shakes a little, reaching for my hand. I know that she is still afraid that Alpha Perez’s scouts may find her. I hold her hand tightly, letting her know it’s okay. She smiles faintly as Finn walks back inside, “It’s clear, let’s go,” he tells us.

Kael was somewhere in the center of that star, his hand fused to the core, his body becoming the very frequency that was screaming into the dark. The satellite groaned, a deep, metal scream that vibrated through my bones. Below us, the dead Earth loomed like a bruised charcoal coal. It wasn't just scorched; it was silent; no city lights, no blue oceans, just the slow, indifferent rotation of a tomb. "Broadcast at 12 percent," a voice whispered in my ear.

Chapter 26: Alive Kit: “Earth!” Prem’s voice forced Kit to open his eyes as Earth’s hands were ripped off of him. Kit found Prem standing between the two of them, blocking his attack with both hands before he pushed Earth back hard enough that he stumbled to the ground, falling onto his back. “Get the fuck away from us, Prem!” Earth hissed, his anger no longer under his control. “You have no idea what this son of a bitch has done!

"You've finally landed in my hands. Do you really think I'll just let you go? How about a little game?" Liana snapped her fingers, and Hugh set up a stand, propping his phone to film her and Gwyneth. Gwyneth gave a puzzled look. "What are you trying to do?"

The binary suns had set, and the permanent violet nebula of Earth was visible in the distance, a small, glowing reminder of the home we had left behind. "Four children, Elara," Killian whispered, pulling me against his slate grey chest. "Leo is our anchor. Toby is our reach. Maya is our pulse. And Lyra... ."Lyra is the bridge," I finished, leaning my head against his shoulder. "They are the four pillars of the new world. We did more than just survive the mud, Killian.
