Finally, Jonah raised his hand. "Stop," Jonah commanded. "Save your energy. The training is over."The survivors dropped their weapons. They were exhausted, sweating, and panting. But they looked strong. They looked ready."Pack your bags," Jonah ordered the camp. "We are leaving the mountain. We load the trucks now."The room exploded into organized action. People grabbed their thin blankets, their empty water bottles, and their heavy new weapons.Jonah walked over to the giant, silver teardrop shape of the Echo Seed.The ancient machine sat in the center of the room. The pure blue light pulsed softly. It was the only thing keeping the freezing whiteout blizzard and the dark yellow fog away from the building."Gage. David," Jonah called out. "Bring the heavy chains. We need to move the Seed into the back of the lead truck."The two men hurried over carrying thick, rusted iron chains. They carefully wrapped the chains around the base of the massive silver machine."Be very careful," L

"I am terrified, Lisa," Jonah whispered. He confessed his deepest, darkest fear. A single tear escaped his eye. "When I saw him falling off that cliff in the dark cave... my heart stopped. I cannot watch him die. I just cannot."Lisa moved her hand. She gently touched the tear on his dirty cheek. "I know," Lisa whispered back. "Love is terrifying. It is the heaviest burden in the world. But love is not a shield, Jonah. You cannot wrap him in bubble wrap and put him on a shelf."Lisa looked across the room. She looked at Kevin sitting alone on the wooden box."Love is a sword," Lisa said firmly. "You have to arm him. You have to teach him how to swing the sword. If you truly want him to survive this broken world... you have to let him stand beside you. Not behind you."Jonah looked at Kevin. He saw the sadness in his son's slumped shoulders. He saw the fire that had been put out.Jonah took a deep, shaky breath. He nodded slowly. "You are always right, mechanic," Jonah whispered.Lisa

Jonah had almost lost his son three times in the last week. He could not lose him again."I said no!" Jonah roared. His giant voice shook the dust from the ceiling. The other survivors stopped swinging their weapons. They stepped back, surprised by Jonah’s sudden fury.Jonah reached out his massive hand. He grabbed the steel pipe from Kevin’s grip. He ripped it out of Kevin’s hand and threw it across the room.CLANG! The heavy pipe hit the concrete wall and bounced onto the floor.Kevin stared at his father. His face turned bright red with anger and embarrassment. "Why did you do that?!" Kevin yelled. "I am trying to help!""You are trying to get yourself killed!" Jonah shouted back. He pointed a thick, scarred finger at Kevin’s face. "If you swing a heavy weapon, you will rip the muscles in your back! You will tear your broken shoulder completely out of its socket! You will be paralyzed!""I do not care about the pain!" Kevin screamed. "I care about living! I care about protecting Li

The concrete room was freezing. The air was so cold that every breath looked like thick, white smoke.SMASH!The loud, heavy sound bounced off the gray walls."Again!" Jonah roared. His deep voice filled the room.Elena raised the heavy iron mace. Her arms were shaking violently. Sweat poured down her scarred face, freezing instantly on her chin. She gasped for air. She swung the heavy mace down as hard as she could.SMASH!The iron head of the mace hit a large, solid block of frozen concrete on the floor. Pieces of ice and rock flew into the air.Elena fell to her knees. She dropped the mace. Clang. She was completely exhausted. She could not lift her arms anymore."I can't," Elena cried. She stared at her red, blistered hands. "It is too heavy, Jonah. I have no strength left."Jonah walked over to her. His heavy boots hit the floor. Thud. Thud.Jonah’s broad chest was bare. The thick, dark iron scars covering his skin were cold and gray. He did not feel magical power anymore. He onl

Suddenly, a loud, sharp shout came from the front of the building. It was one of the guards who was watching the heavy metal door."Jonah!" the guard yelled in pure panic. "Look outside! The blue light!"Jonah frowned. He grabbed his heavy sledgehammer. He ran to the door. Kevin and Elena followed right behind him.Jonah looked through a small crack in the broken door frame.Outside, the gray morning was incredibly cold. The wind was howling like a screaming ghost. WHOOOOOOSH.But the terrifying part was the Echo Seed.The giant, silver teardrop machine sitting in the center of the dirt courtyard was struggling.The extreme, impossible cold of the Cryospheric Collapse was attacking the ancient machine. Thick layers of white frost were building up on the silver metal.The pure blue light, which created the safe bubble around the camp, was flickering wildly. Blink... Blink... Dark.The blue light turned off for a full two seconds. The safe bubble vanished.In those two seconds, the dark

Jonah raised his giant, scarred right fist. He brought his fist down onto the glowing orange metal.CLANG!The sound was absolutely deafening. It sounded like a massive church bell ringing inside the concrete room.Bright orange sparks exploded into the air, flying like tiny, beautiful stars in the dark room. The thick steel pipe flattened instantly under Jonah’s bare fist.The survivors gasped in pure shock. They covered their ears.Jonah raised his fist again.CLANG!More sparks flew. The hot metal bent exactly where Jonah wanted it to bend. He hit it again and again. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!He was not just hitting it blindly. He was shaping it. He was folding the heavy metal over itself, making it incredibly dense and heavy at one end.Jonah was acting as a living power hammer. His iron-scarred hand did not burn. It did not blister. The intense heat of the glowing metal felt like nothing compared to the agony he had survived on the cross."Incredible," Gage whispered, staring at the
