MARKED BY THE SILENCED WOLF
The air was thick with the smell of coal smoke and hot oil, a toxic cloud that muffled the musical whispers of the canyon.
Standing at the base of the spire, illuminated by the rhythmic pulse of a blue energy core, was a man. He wore a long, structured coat of Western silk, but beneath the fabric, I could see the glint of metal. His left arm was a complex arrangement of silver pistons and copper wires, moving with a terrifying, inhuman precision. He was looking up at the salt dome, his head tilted in an attitude of profound concentration. When he turned to face us, my heart stopped.
It was Silas.
