202 Days Until Collapse And the Uncertain End (Part 6)

Evester struggled to run. He had broken something. A rib perhaps? Jumping from a moving vehicle was not the best idea, but it was all he could have done in that instance. A broken rib, how could he have been so stupid? Heia looked worse for wear, but she was fine. Lynx seemed to have dislocated her shoulder grabbing Heia. Not that Heia realized.

Evester rounded the corner towards where he was supposed to meet the others to find a massive blockade of cars that had been moved by the fall, as well as broken buildings. Fires lit the street, and the smell of oil was clear. They’d be lucky to get over it before it went up in flames.

“Uly…” Evester could not find a way around it.

Buildings were broken, cars discarded, bag and clothes thrown about, items scaattered all over the streets. There was food, blood, but no signs of most any body as Heia followed Evester through the city.

“This district has been evacuated.” Lynx looked around. “No casualties.”

“Which is a good sign,” Evester then jumped with the sound of an explosion. Turning back Heia slowed her pace in time to see an Evacuation ship breaking free from the CloudCity. The sound reverberated through the whole of the city. The ship was large and moving away quickly. “My mother will be on that one, with all of the other first evacuees.”

“You three go.” Estashia told them, looking to Evester with the eyes of a mother. A look that he had not seen in years. “Figure out how to stop this. Help as many people as you can evacuate.”

Did they have time to save everyone now? High ranked Circles and many Stars had been evacuated already, but the others… those in the Tower? Evester did not say goodbye to his mother as he ran off.

“Lynx get in contact with your sister.” Evester demanded not sure if his friends had survived the initial shaking. Hoping he did not have to say goodbye.

“Attempting to.” Lynx snapped back. She tossed him and Heiphillia headsets.

It was hours later when they were finally called back to the Council Room, much to Heia’s dismay. Everyone looked worse for wear but Evester, who stood with a smug look upon his face. They had not bothered cuffing him this time. There was no point. They could not contain him, or that was what Heia assumed that they would say. She did not blame them. He was far too shifty to be contained.

“Come to an agreement?” Evester asked before they could begin the meeting.

“He’s just ancy.” Heia apologized for him trying not to piss off those who could control their fate.

“We all are.” Estashia answered. “But yes we have.”

The shakes were all encompassing in a way that made his mind blank. In some way he knew that this was not normal. Everything told him that it was not normal. The sounds were so loud. Everything was too crisp, too vibrant. There was too many emotions in the voices that he could hear. The magic was swirling, tickling, calling, crying, warning. Warning. Warning.

“Zeydar?” 

Zeydar opened his eyes to see Onyx with Phil looking down at him. It was only then that he realized he had been yelling. Screaming rather. About what? What had he been—
