Summary
"I think I am tired of destroying things," Torse said slowly. "Of hurting. I want to help grow."
Maxwell's face softened. "Torse, I may not have known you for a long time, but I've known you to do very little destruction without need. Truth be told, I don't think of you as a destroyer at all."
And, well. Torse found himself staring at the ground. What was Torse supposed to do with that?
Torse spends some time reconstructing Zern and then reunites with the crew after Maxwell requests it. It is, funnily enough, through Ludmila that he finds the ability to understand his own issues and reservations. There is some dancing and sparring involved.

Summary
The issue with making a go-bag at 12 years old is that the things you think you’ll need as a kid are not in fact that useful when you get whisked away at 20.
It started with clothes, her small child clothes in no way fitting her grown body, especially a few puberties later. Luckily, between Van and Marya she’s been able to make do.
It also means she doesn’t have her meds.

Summary
"Marya, Marya, look! Me and Gotch are destined besties because we got matching soulmate marks from a Zernian fortune-teller!"
Marya looked upon the gold and iron hearts nestled in Olethra and Maxwell's palms with a thousand-yard stare.
"Jesus Christ," she mumbled to herself.
"Yes, he exists in this world," Ludmila supplied helpfully.
**
On assignment in a rebuilt seaside city with time to kill, Olethra drags Maxwell to get their soulmate fortunes told at a local tourist trap. On assignment in a rebuilt seaside city with time weighing on her mind, Ludmila considers the concept of destiny.

Summary
"Are you sure you shouldn't have asked Freyja to come with you instead?" Dawderdale asked stiffly, feeling suddenly very self-conscious. "I thought she was your 'bestie'."
"Hmm? Oh, no, she said no right away. Remember?" Olethra winked at Dawderdale. Another wink from a MacLeod. At this point she was collecting them. "Actually, that's a good point, do you wanna be my bestie?"
**
Miryam Dawderdale has nothing in common with Olethra Macleod. There are few things she's more certain of than that. On the other hand, she also used to be certain that the sun rose in the east and set in the west, that she would be a courier for the rest of her life, and that adventures were something other people got to do. Not so, apparently, in Zood.

Summary
For some reason, the path to Marya's dreams eluded her. She cast her thoughts out, a great, invisible neural network, internal radio searching for the frequency.
And finally, she heard it. "Marya," the dream thought. "Marya," and "Ludmila."
"Ludmila."
Ludmila?
Ludmila was standing in a field, lush and verdant grass brushing her legs, squinting against the sun.
**
The Queen of Zern has the power to whisper into minds, to haunt the sleeping steps of her prey by calling out to their dreams.
But that doesn't mean she always calls the right number.
