The Salt Flats were turning a deep, bloody red, the shadows of the cooling towers stretching out like long fingers.
When they reached the ground, they were met not by a crowd, but by the silence of a city that could finally breathe. Alexander stepped out onto the dirt, his legs shaky. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the black box. It was cool again, its light dim.
"We cleared the first ring," Alexander said. "But there are four more. And the winter is only getting started."
Jax nodded, looking at the tower that still loomed over them, a skeleton of a god that they were slowly turning back into a tool. "One ring at a time, Alex. One harvest at a time."
