Iris’ words were so outlandish that she had to repeat herself twice before Arthur understood what she was saying. The moon's rotation was slowing down? Was that a thing that just happened? Myan’s eyes flashed a dark blue, and he started to curse.“He’s insane. He’s actually fucking insane.”The boy looked like he was moments away from hyperventilating.

When the dust settles, the Solmonds will have lost everything. He wants this to be a bloodless victory. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s negotiating (...)
