Prologue
Bolimar
∞
More than 10,000 years prior in a land known as Messolin, on a planet called Bolimar.
Jo-Laina exited the cave; her eyes cast downward, hands at her sides, as she walked to her only true friend left alive. Argimos waited for her to come back to him. The blood on his furry maroon mane had long since dried, some of it his, but most of it, not. Many of the scales along his back were damaged, his tail in one piece, but broken half way to the blade shaped point at the end and his massive muscles trembled at his weight.
Jo-Laina came to him, lifting one hand to his cheek, kissing his snout, before embracing him fully. Do you think they will understand the message? She thought to him.
We have no choice but to trust that they will, Jo-Laina. If they make it this far.
You trust that he’s telling us the truth? That he sees things properly? You know how premonitions go. Too many branches to trust in just one.
Doesn’t really matter now, does it? It’s too late to change course, and our paths are already set. They have made sure that we have no way off this mountain.
The Barakai stationed in front of him almost seemed to know that he was thinking about them. The four in front raised themselves, opening their chest-plates as if demanding the start of their meal right then.
I’m scared Argimos, for the sake of all the Gods, I’m terrified.
Argimos couldn’t help but to chuckle. The mighty Jo-Laina. The girl who knows no fear? Who has created an entire city on her own? Did what everyone said couldn’t be done, forming the greatest society that has ever existed, and who has delivered more names to the ribbon than any other Prim? I doubt it.
Will it hurt?
Argimos took a very deep and very long breath. Unfortunately, yes. It will be excruciating, and the pain will last for a long time. That is why they chose this death for us.
