Morning light poured over the valley like warm water. It caught the dew on every blade of grass, turning the hills silver and gold.

The sky had the soft color of honey. Birds called in long, lazy notes, and the river below hummed as it bent around stone and tree.

A figure stood at the edge of the high meadow, watching the sun rise. His hair, once pale, now carried faint silver threads that glimmered in the light.

His cloak moved in the breeze, and the shards that circled him glowed gently lik

    The giant red numbers burned in the dark sky. They did not go away when the sun came up. They did not go away when the clouds rolled in. They just hung there, floating above the world like a terrible promise.22:14:59.22:14:58.22:14:57.Below the glowing red numbers, the world was dying.The Free City rebel army was camped outside the massive, shining walls of Apex City. Apex was the capital of the Sovereign Council. It was a beautiful city made of silver towers and white glass. But right now, it was a fortress. A giant, glowing white energy shield covered the entire city like a glass bowl.For four long weeks, the rebels had tried to break the shield. They had fired rockets. They had thrown explosives. Julian and his holy rebels had even tried to use their golden fire. But nothing worked. The shield was too strong.It was a perfect, terrible tie.The Sovereign Council’s army was trapped inside the city. They could not come out without lowering the shield, and they were afraid of th

    But somewhere, deep inside the darkest, most hidden corner of Everett's brain, a tiny spark of light remained. It was a feeling. Not a thought, not a memory, just a pure feeling.It was the feeling of Lyra's soft hand in his. It was the feeling of Silas trusting him as a brother. It was the feeling of the starving children looking up at him for hope.I am not an error, the feeling said. I am a protector.The System tried to delete that feeling. [WARNING: RESISTANCE DETECTED. DELETING…]"NO!" Everett roared.The roar did not come from his throat. It came from his very soul.Everett forced his eyes open. He reached up with his bare hands and grabbed the purple beam of light.It was not physical light. It was pure data. It burned his hands like highly concentrated acid. His skin blistered and smoked, but he did not let go.Everett was unique. He was not a normal citizen. He had been tortured and experimented on by the System for years when he was taken as a child. His body was part human

    "Gather them up," the Sovereign captain ordered smoothly. "Put them in chains. The High Chancellor wants them alive for the labor factories. The old and weak ones... you can just shoot."Silas watched in pure horror. He could not fight. He could not run. The Council had weaponized the System's own math. They had changed the rules of reality so the Free Cities could not even hold a gun."Get up," Silas told his own body. "Get up!"He forced himself onto his hands and knees. His nose began to bleed from the extreme effort. He threw his weakened body over Lyra to protect her from the soldiers.A silver soldier walked up to Silas. He aimed his rifle right at Silas's head."Well, well. Commander Silas," the soldier smiled behind his glass mask. "Say goodnight."Far away in the dark, cold desert, Julian and his five hundred followers were walking. They had escaped the burning City of Glass. They were tired, hungry, and terrified.Tomas walked next to Julian. "Where are we going, Julian? The

    The heavy chain-sword swung directly at Everett's neck. He dropped to his knees in the black, cracked dirt. The spinning metal teeth cut the air just an inch above his head. The sound was deafening. VRRRRRR!Everett rolled backward in the toxic dust. He looked up at his sister. Her face was completely blank."Sarah! It is me!" Everett yelled. He pulled off his dark mask so she could see his face clearly. "I am your brother!"Sarah did not stop. She stepped forward. Her heavy white boots crushed the dry bones on the ground. She raised the huge, roaring sword again."Target locked. Heretic detected," Sarah said. Her voice did not sound human. It sounded like a cold machine. Her green eyes were gone. Instead, they glowed with a sick, unnatural yellow light.Everett refused to pull out his combat knives. He could not hurt her. He jumped to the side as she brought the sword down. The blade hit an old, rusted car from the ancient world, cutting the thick metal in half like it was soft butte

    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
