    way of the universe.” Seth said with a sigh. “The LOS won’t interfere. Rhylos is worthless for the league council. Everybody hold on. We’re going in.” They’d taken the Silver Comet Garethiel had left Ashriel. It jerked as Seth put the engines in full burn and they slipped under Rhylos thick atmosphere lighting up like the crafts brand name. Gravity began kicking in and Anniel felt like she was about to get sick. Another yank and her eyes widened when she realized the ground was flying up to meet them incredibly fast. “Seth,” she cried out. “Easy. I’m trying to keep us from getting shot at.” Almost as if on cue, a volley of laser fire streaked past them. Seth dipped and spun the Silver Comet, weaving past exploding ships and laser fire. After passing the worst of the fighting, he tipped the nose of the transport straight down and hurtled into the darkness below. Behind them, Anniel heard a loud thump followed by Abdiel’s groan of pain. Black feathers floated about, but she was too terrified to look back.

Light flashed, catching her eye. She turned to see Abdiel unsheathing his divine sword, the inside of his eyes completely black in kill mode. The smell grew worse and even as she drew the strap to the respirator over her head, she already knew what was drawing closer. Anniel turned her head just as the first one shambled out from a darkened alleyway. It was just a little boy, his reddish-gold hair smeared with grime. His skin was grey, but not like the Grei aliens. No. This was not some hybrid Grei-humanoid mix.
