He quickly left a message by fire for the Council to come revive him when possible. They would take months to find the message and come to give him a new fire pump, plus he would be deeply scolded, but it was that or death and he was not done with life just yet. It was the last he could do before the water came upon him like a sick game of rock, scissors, paper.

Her golden resonance no longer flickered unpredictably. “Live-fire protocol?” Lucien asked. “Escalation model,” I replied. “Ballistic first. Then energy.
