" The people on the ferry couldn't understand the foreign language and could only watch the unfolding scene. Inside the ferry, the people couldn't understand the foreign language and could only stare at them. Susan also couldn't comprehend the interaction between Rebecca and these people. However, judging from the aura brought by Beardo's men, she could sense their hostile intentions. Regardless of whether these people could understand her, she roared like a young beast and attempted to intimidate them. "What's the meaning of this? With so many people around, are you singling out just the two of us women? After taking so much money from me, now you want to harass me? "Let me make it clear, i

Tomorrow is the grand finale, the day in which history could be born. The fight will commence when the sun will be in its intensity. The next day was like hundreds of years away, everyone had got their eyes fixed on the morrow; the age had kept their fingers acrossed as they waited for that day to come. "May the gods keep us till tomorrow." An elder said. it's seem as night was running away, night refused to come, arguments about who the winner will be rumbled in the midst of

Baraka commanded. Slowly, hesitantly at first, a dozen men and women stepped out of the crowd. Some had rocky, hardened skin; others vibrated with latent energy. Jabari stepped up beside them, his obsidian armor sliding over his skin with a sharp, glass-like shhhk. "We are going to dig deeper," Baraka told them, placing his hands flat against the cold, unyielding basalt of the mountain wall. The violet fire roared to life, traveling up his arms and illuminating the entire northern face of the cavern. "We are going to carve a city out of the stone. A city where Tindo’s militias can never find us, and where Malik’s zealots will never rule us."

I was so hungry I saw stars. Everything had double vision. The book of 20-dollar scratch cards Mom gave me felt like a countdown to my death. Only one card remained. The 30 dollars I had won before this, even though I had been incredibly frugal, eating nothing but plain bread and canned soup for every meal, had lasted two weeks at most. My stomach felt like an invisible hand was squeezing it tight, cramping with pain. So I clung to one last shred of hope and called Mom.

Then, I stopped short at the sight ahead. In the distance, Louisa was holding Ewan's hand and waving at me. My fingers locked tight around the door handle; my whole body tensed. I shut my eyes, took a deep breath, and hurried over. Louisa's head was tilted up, and she was talking to Ewan. As I approached, her voice grew clearer. "I'm not afraid of pain. I'll be like Mommy. Mommy had a huge monster on her face that she had to fight, and she won. I'll definitely beat the demon inside my body."

It wanted to be understood. I closed my eyes again. The visions came faster this time. A pack territory I had never seen. Mountains in the distance. A great hall with silver banners hanging from the rafters. Wolves in fine clothes with their heads bowed and their voices raised in a song I could not hear. And then fire. The hall was burning. The banners were torn. The wolves were screaming and running and falling and dying. I saw a woman lift a child into her arms and run toward the forest. I saw her press her hand against the child's forehead and whisper words I could not understand.

Waiting for the city to become brave enough to ask what lay beyond the horizon. Waiting for someone to answer. The expedition suddenly felt real. Not someday. Not eventually. Soon. And somewhere beyond every known world— another light waited in the darkness. Waiting for a ship called the Wayfinder. Waiting for a story to arrive.

Barbarian spoke in a disappointed tone. Sierra looked at Barbarian regretfully, "I'm sorry, Barbara. I didn't mean to make you feel neglected. I just thought that maybe you had other plans or didn't want to join since I know you are usually busy with your own affairs." Barbarian pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No, there are no specific plans. I just like to be reminded and involved in things like this. So, I look forward to your invitation." Sierra sighed, "I apologize, Barbara. Of course, you are also invited. I would be very happy if you could join us."

*The Next Day* The buzzing sound of my alarm clock woke me up. It is a brand new day for another grind to work. I got up out of bed and get ready to work at Ross. As I walk down the block, I noticed a familiar face, It was Jane. Must be on her way to work. I continue to walk down to Ross’ Mechanic Shop and then it hit me. I remembered that I was supposed to help Jane with the case about these stupid bloody barbies. I went inside the shop when Ross greets me with his usual morning business talk. “Hey there! Ready to make some of that money?” Ross greeted

“Picts . . . so many . . . ” “Yes, but they’ve all gone back north now.” “North?” Flavius gagged. “Good . . . good . . . ” “Sir, monsters?” Eyes shut for a while, Flavius breathed deep. “Monstrous, I mean . . . just terrible . . . what the barbarians can do . . . ” “Yes,” the centurion agreed. “They are pure savages on ice, sir. We’ll get you cleaned up fine and healed up well again.”
