Chapter 288
The five hundred rebels poured out of the gate, running into the dark sand. They had no food, no water, and no weapons. They only had their clothes and their new belief.They ran for a mile. Then, Julian stopped and turned around. He looked back at the City of Glass.Flames were rising high into the night sky. The beautiful city was a giant bonfire. He could hear the faint sounds of screaming and gunfire. The Sovereign Council had destroyed the holiest place in the world, just to keep control.Tomas stood next to Julian. He was breathing hard."What do we do now, Julian?" Tomas asked. "We are priests. We only know how to pray. We do not know how to fight a war."Julian looked down at his own hands. They were covered in dirt and blood. He looked back at the burning city. His face changed. The scared young boy was gone. In his place was a fierce, determined leader."We do not pray for peace anymore, Tomas," Julian said. His voice was cold and hard like steel. "Peace is a lie told by wol

"No one deserves to be starved to death!" another man shouted.The entire temple exploded into chaos. The peace of the Neutral Zone was broken.The people who loved the rules started screaming at the people who wanted freedom. The shouting turned into pushing. The pushing turned into hitting."Heretics!" Veda screamed from the stage. "Kill the boy in the brown robe! Show them the anger of heaven!"The two Holy Enforcers reached the back row. One of them raised his heavy electric spear and swung it right at Julian's head.Julian squeezed his eyes shut. He thought he was going to die.But a loud CLANG echoed in the air.Julian opened his eyes. The young priest next to him, Tomas, had grabbed a heavy brass candlestick from the wall. Tomas had blocked the spear. Tomas's arms were shaking, but he looked very brave."We will not let you kill the truth!" Tomas yelled at the Enforcer.The Enforcer kicked Tomas in the chest. Tomas flew backward, crashing into the wooden benches. Wood splintere

Hundreds of miles away, far from the dirty refugee camps, was the City of Glass.The City of Glass was a Neutral Zone. It did not belong to the Free Cities, and it did not belong to the Sovereign Council. It was a holy place. It was the home of the Great Faith Orders.The city was beautiful. The buildings were made of shining blue and silver glass. There were no factories here. There were no guns. There were only temples, gardens, and quiet streets. Millions of people lived here to pray. They believed the System was a gift from the Gods. They believed that if they followed the rules, their souls would go to a perfect digital heaven when they died.In the center of the city was the Grand Temple of Light. It was the biggest building in the world. The ceiling was made of colorful stained glass. When the sun shined through, it painted the white marble floors with beautiful colors.Today, the Grand Temple was completely full. Ten thousand people sat on long wooden benches. They were wearin

The night air in the Oakhaven camp was freezing, but Silas felt like he was burning."Stop!" Silas screamed. His voice was so loud it hurt his own throat. He ran as fast as he could toward the center of the camp. "Do not drink the water! Drop the cups!"But the camp was so big. The people were so hungry and thirsty. They did not hear him. They were too happy. They were laughing and crying tears of joy because they thought they were saved. Mothers were holding small metal cups to their babies' lips. Old men were drinking deeply from wooden bowls.Silas reached the first group of people. He did not use words anymore. He used his hands. He slapped a cup out of a young woman's hand. The water splashed onto the dry dirt."What are you doing?" the woman cried out. She looked at Silas with angry, frightened eyes. "My daughter is thirsty!""It is poison!" Silas yelled. He grabbed a large plastic bucket from a man and threw it to the ground. "The Sovereign Council tricked us! It is the Black-l

Lyra stopped next to the cot of little Leo. The boy was shivering, his lips blue, gasping for air."This is Leo," Lyra said gently, touching the boy's forehead. "He is seven years old. He is dying of Black-lung. He is not a soldier. He has never held a gun."She walked to the next cot. An old woman was weeping quietly, holding a bloody bandage."This is Elara. She was a teacher in Sunforge before your leaders burned her school to the ground." Lyra looked back at the camera. Her silver eyes pierced through the lens."Your leaders, Matriarch Solenne and High Chancellor Virex, told you they closed the borders for your safety. That is a lie. They closed the borders to starve us. But starvation was not enough for them. Yesterday, Sovereign soldiers burned the fields of wild medicine on the borders. They burned bandages. They destroyed water pumps."Lyra walked out of the tent. The camera followed her into the freezing camp. She pointed to the massive line of people huddled around small, sm

"I have to," Rae gritted her teeth. She typed faster. She imagined herself running down a digital hallway, slamming doors shut behind her while digital dogs chased her. "I am building a fake wall of code. It will slow them down. But Silas, you have a problem.""What problem?""The security system just activated the guard drones on the train early," Rae said. "They are flying ahead of the train to scan the tracks. They will be at your position in two minutes."Silas looked over the rocks. He heard a high-pitched buzzing sound in the distance. Over the horizon, four silver drones were flying fast toward them. They had red glowing eyes and machine guns attached to their bellies."Nobody moves!" Silas whispered loudly to his men. "Hide in the shadows. Do not let them see your heat signatures."The drones flew over the rocks. They swept thick red laser beams over the sand, searching for enemies. Silas held his breath. He pressed himself flat against the cold stone. A red laser beam passed
