Lunumbra raced through the broken moon, Silas motionless across her back.
Beside her, Lunumbro bounded over shattered ridges.
Behind them came Cosmotaur.
Each footfall hurled ancient fragments skyward. Every shelter they passed vanished beneath his fury.
Silas stirred as a shadow swallowed all three.
He opened his eyes.
The lycats had reached the edge of a vast crater. Beyond it, nothing but exposed ground.
Silas slid from Lunumbra’s back.
For a moment, his legs failed him.
Then his wings opened independent of his thoughts.
He rose to face what he had created.
