    As the sun was beginning to set, Dozi followed the mystic and his husband into the meeting hall where the Unity Between Humans and Shifts members were gathered. The tension in the air was palpable. She overheard a few angry remarks. "The Messiahs' violence needs to be stopped," one man said. "We outnumber them," added a woman. "Someone should retaliate," another person suggested. Several comments of agreement came after a di

    Lahari led Agrell and Ilya from the apothecary through the dark streets of the Spritehood to one of the few ways to the underground. The sun was starting to rise over the harbor as they reached it, but they were stopped by a group of Biological Shift guards right inside the entrance. Each was unique. "No one is permitted below," declared an individual with transparent skin and organs; the bones beneath their flesh were visible. "It's me," Lahari stated, and she pulled back the cloak

    "Fall back, warriors!" roared Madame Hart. "Affirmative!" confirmed the Principal Messiah. "We got more than we came for! Get topside, now!" she shouted. The small army of enhanced Demifae and Messiahs abandoned their dead. They left the carnage and the darkness, for the fading light of the setting sun above. Several Biological Shifts chased after them and even managed to slay a few more of the invaders before they made it to the surface. The surviving Demifae and Messiahs hauled th

    "Agrell!" Lahari whispered, and the three sleepers awoke. "What the fuck?" Dozi snapped with a start, and she repeated herself when she came face to face with Lahari's frightening appearance in the shadows. "What the fuck?!" Agrell jumped up, grabbed a candle and Lahari's hand, and she pulled her into Dozi's kitchen area. Lahari was startled by the physical contact, but she followed. They could hear Dozi and Ilya whispering harshly to each other but could not make out t

    Agrell, Dozi, and Ilya made the short trek across the Spritehood to the mystic's shop the following four mornings. On each visit, Ilya received treatment, and Agrell looked for Lahari. She walked to the waterfront, entered the pipe, and descended the underground stairs to the cave-in where the two young women first met. There was never any sign of Lahari, but Agrell kept insisting to search for her. Dozi did not readdress her desire to become a Demifae, and neither the mystic nor his husb

    Behind the massive desk in the leadership chamber, the heads of the hunters were stirred up in a rage. The one woman among them was standing with her palms on the desk again, leering over it at her kneeling subordinate. "What do you mean that Talin's entire team is dead?!" she fumed. "Affirmative, milady," replied the scout with his head bowed. "How?!" "They were cut to pieces, literally pieces. There were body parts everywhere, heads, arms," and the man's voice faded.

    Agrell and Lahari were both shuffling through the short tunnel that let out above the waterline, and they were surprised to hear the sound of muffled voices echoing into the mouth of the tunnel. Agrell turned and asked Lahari, "Who is that?" "Sounds like people talking." "It sounds like shouting." They came to the opening and Agrell stepped out onto the stone path below the railing along the walking trail. A man was standing on either side of Lahari's stepfather, a

    "I can hear the cosmic music from the radiation of the universe." A woman was speaking and her voice echoed from multiple locations along the alley where she was cornered. "I can taste the elements that burn in the stars." She sounded like a goddess. "I see the world; I can see eons. I look into distant corners of alien galaxies." There was wrath in her words, and they reverberated against the old concrete walls. Black discs of shadow hovered in the air like holes punched in reality, void

    The next morning, while the three women were getting ready to head back to the mystic's, a spark of inspiration struck Agrell. "Maybe Lahari can use the crack in the bedrock that now leads to the underground, as a passage up to see her dads. Since her hidden path is blocked, she's stuck in the stairwell and doesn't have any way back down to be with her people." "Whoa, whoa!" Dozi interjected. "We will not be offering my home to be used by a monster from the underground as a thoroughf

    Agrell turned and ran up the stairs, as the bird-like woman approached the door to the chamber with the well. Without being seen, Agrell slipped into the crack of the wall. She shimmied back a few paces from the stairwell, and paused. "Oi, you lot!" a new voice called from farther the down hallway. Agrell peeked out as the bird woman stepped out and turned towards the approaching figure. It was a person with four arms. Agrell could not determine much else about the ind

    Talin stepped up in front of his superiors, lowered down to one knee, and bowed his head. The huge desk behind which they all sat loomed over him. "Did you get the gland?" one of them asked. Talin held up a small jar, and other leaders began speaking. "Call the grand hierophant!" "Bring the next group of unborn!" "Gather the ingredients for the spell!" "What do you suppose the next generation will be granted?" One of the attendants took the jar from Ta

    With fresh bandages on Ilya's face and side, the three women left the mystic's shop and made their way back to Dozi's hidden home. One after another, they slipped inside behind the fan cage and began to descend into her chamber. It was much colder down below than it was that morning when they left. "What happened?" Agrell asked. "Why is it freezing down here?" Dozi questioned the room at large. They reached the bottom of the stairs and Ilya leaned on her crutch. She rai

    The mystic and his husband led Agrell a few blocks to where the land fell into the ocean. She turned her gaze out to the vast expanse of rolling blue beneath the grey sky, and she stared at the sea with wonder. A railing ran along the path above the water's edge, which was only a short drop below them. They stepped up and placed their hands on the rail. "Her passage is just there," said the mystic, as he leaned over the railing. He pointed down and Agrell could see the lip of a pipe. It w

    Most of the citizens of Teshon City lived in ignorance of the old munitions depot that still sat in one of the deep vaults beneath the city. Those underground chambers were cut from the very bedrock and were some of the first Oselian constructions on the peninsula. During the base's brief heyday, multiple access points allowed military personnel entry to the different storage facilities below. However, after the fall and over the following two centuries, many of the shafts collapsed and the deep

    Ilya awoke in shocking pain and unfamiliar surroundings. She moaned aloud and shoved herself to a seated position and the sheet that covered her fell away from her upper body. She was on a padded table in a small cluttered room. Shelves were lined with countless jars and boxes of herbs and shells and dead insects and seedpods. Dried fish hung from the ceiling in one corner and a large clock adorned the wall directly in front of her. Ilya's head was spinning. She did not remember where she

    "You've got yourself quite a little savior," Dozi commented, as Ilya opened her eyes. She tried to sit up. "Whoa, take it easy, girl," Dozi encouraged. Ilya's eyes were unfocused, but the pain in her side was a precision fury like being electrocuted. "They're coming," she groaned. "Oh-ho," Dozi chuckled in disbelief. She gave Ilya a confused look and replied. "Don't you worry about them. Agrell's done them right. I told her they were after you fo
