Vuko POV We come out on the other side of the staticky, magic-drenched crossing that was once the looping highway around the city. I shake myself, relieved to be rid of the feeling of ants under my skin. Esme is staring ahead, her face grim. The Barren stretches out before us in early dawn light, no different than when I had first crossed it. Sand stretches as far as the horizon, a dull grey color more like ash than sand.

"I have to oversee the boarding handoff with the UN Fleet from the upper deck. Excuse me, Mom." ​Maya stepped forward, kissing Arthur's cheek gently. "Go, my son. We are so proud of you." ​An hour later, the sun began to set over the vast, endless horizon of the Pacific Ocean. ​The sky exploded in brilliant, breathtaking ribbons of deep violet, fiery amber, and soft rose gold, reflecting off the calm blue surface of the sea. ​With the operation complete and the UN Fleet handling the custody transfer five miles away, the upper observation deck of Horizon Station Alpha was quiet, peaceful, and bathed in the cool ocean breeze
