"Seven seconds!" Kael screamed.

I stared at the streak of fire dropping from the stars. It wasn't just a weapon. It was a message.

"Osric, jump!" Jax yelled. I didn't jump. I looked at the system screen glowing in front of my face.

[THREAT ANALYSIS: KINETIC IMPACT INBOUND. ENERGY SPIKE DETECTED FROM LUNAR SURFACE.]

"The moon?" I whispered. "They're shooting at me from the moon?"

"The global satellites are picking up massive spikes," Kael reported. "It’s not just one rod, Osric. They’ve turned t

    I laid in the mud and gritted my teeth. The pain in my arms was like fire. Both bones were snapped. My hands were just heavy weights at the ends of my sleeves."Osric, stay down!" Jax yelled through the comms. "The legion is five minutes away. Don't move!""I can't wait five minutes," I gasped. I looked at the water around me. It was still glowing from the red moon. I could feel the essence in the air. It was thick and heavy."What are you doing?" Kael asked. "Your energy levels are spiking!""I'm fixing this," I said. I pulled the air into my lungs. I reached out with my mind and grabbed the raw essence floating in the puddles. "Consume," I whispered.[ESSENCE ABSORPTION ACTIVE. RECONSTRUCTING BONE TISSUE.]"Agh!" I screamed. It felt like hot needles were sewing my skin together. I heard the bones in my arms grinding. They slid back into place. The purple bruises faded in seconds."Did you just heal yourself?" Jax asked."I had to," I said. I pushed myself up. My arms felt stiff, but

    "I'm going!" I yelled into the wind.I kicked off the edge of the bone platform. The air was thin and freezing. I was falling toward the clouds at a crazy speed."Osric, you’re going to die!" Jax screamed. "The impact will turn you into a pancake!""Not today!" I shouted back. My heart was pounding against my ribs. The Abyssal Pearl in my eye was still hot. It felt like it was trying to crawl out of my face.[EMERGENCY MEASURES INITIATED,][GRAVITY FIELD UNLOCKED. LOCAL MANIPULATION ACTIVE.]"What does that mean?" I asked. "It means you can fly, man!" Kael yelled. "Look at your speed! You're breaking the sound barrier!"I felt a weird pull in my stomach. It was like I had a giant magnet in my gut. I leaned forward and the wind roared past my ears. I wasn't just falling anymore. I was a missile."The wave is hitting in thirty seconds!" Jax warned. "Can you see it?""I see it!" I said. The wall of water looked like a mountain made of blue glass. It was 500-feet high. It was moving so fa

    "Jax! My eye!" I screamed. I clutched my face. The Abyssal Pearl was beating like a heart. It felt like it was trying to rip out of my skull. Every pulse sent cold energy through my body."What's happening?" Jax yelled. "Your vitals are spiking!""The moon," I gasped. "It’s pulling. No, I'm pulling it.""You're pulling the moon?" Kael asked. "That’s impossible!""I'm serious!" I roared. "The Pearl is locked on to that gate! I can feel the gravity shifting!""He’s right!" Kael’s voice went thin. "The moon’s orbit just shifted. Osric, it’s a disaster!""What does that mean for the ground?" I asked. My head was stuck looking up. "The tides!" Jax screamed. "The ocean is reacting! We’re getting reports from the Amazon. The river is flowing toward the coast!""A massive tide is pulling the water out," Kael added. "Osric, the refugees! They’re right in the path of the return wave!""Shut it off!" I yelled at the System. "Cancel the lock! Shut off the Pearl!"[ERROR][EXTERNAL GRAVITATIONAL

    The light from the probe was red. It was burning into my skin. I didn't care about the scan. I didn't care that it was taking my data. I just wanted it gone."What did you do?" I roared at the silver sphere."Osric, stop!" Kael yelled in my ear. "The data stream is too fast! If you hit it now, the feedback could fry your brain!""I don't care!" I yelled back. I swung with everything I had. My fist hit the silver metal. The sphere shattered like glass. Pieces of silver flew across the platform. "You broke it?" Jax asked. He sounded shocked. "I broke it," I said. I was breathing hard."Wait," Kael whispered. "Osric, look at the pieces. They're still glowing." The broken shards were vibrating on the bone floor. They were pulsing in a pattern."It’s sending a signal," I said. "A final transmission," Kael said. "It’s calling for help.""Let them come," I spat. Suddenly, a sharp pain hit my left eye. It was the Abyssal Pearl. The thing had been quiet since I got to the top of the Spire. No

    "You still alive?" Jax’s voice was barely a whisper through the comms.The ringing in my ears was loud. The rod had hit the shield and vaporized. The air was thin up here. It was freezing, too. I looked down at the world. It wasn't the green and brown ball I remembered. It was blue. Almost ninety percent water."I’m alive, Jax," I said. My breath came out in a white cloud."The Spire held?" Kael asked. He sounded like he was about to cry."It held," I said. I touched the bone floor. "It’s solid. Earth is safe for now.""Safe?" Jax snorted. "Osric, you’re standing on a bone tower in the middle of the sky. The billionaires are hiding in their basements. The Director is probably screaming. How is that safe?""The ground is secured," I said. "Nothing can touch my people down there anymore. But the threat isn't on the ground.""You’re looking at the moon again, aren't you?" Kael asked. "I’m looking at everything," I said.I stepped to the edge of the platform. The sun was right there. It

    "Move faster!" I roared. My voice echoed across the dark surface of the Atlantic.Millions of Drowned workers were swarming in the water. They were hauling the massive, white ribs of dead Leviathans. They were stacking them into a pile that looked like a mountain growing out of the abyss."Osric, the satellite feeds are going nuts!" Jax’s voice crackled in my ear. "The whole world is watching this! They think you're building a tomb!""It’s not a tomb, Jax," I said. "It’s a ladder.""A ladder made of bones?" Kael asked. "Is that even stable?""The System says it is," I replied. "Start the next phase. Bring the heavy skeletons to the center!""You heard the boss!" Jax yelled. "Get those Drowned moving! We need a base that can support a hundred miles of bone!"I watched as the workers stacked the remains. They didn't use cranes. They used their hands and my energy. I stood at the very center, on a small patch of dry rock."The wind is picking up, Osric!" Kael shouted. "We’ve got a Categ
