    Summary

    This is the World, and he is its faithful Citizen. He knows the Layout as it unwinds in his mind, an endless procession of hallways and loosely fitted-together rooms, the many statues and niches, the courtyards open to the gray sky, and the grim dark depths that plunge like a dagger into the heart of the earth below. And this Knowledge transforms him.

    Structure is beauty. Structure is perfection. Structure is salvation. And the Structure of this place is Clancy’s guiding purpose. Because many have tried before, to know the Tower in its entirety, and now Clancy alone counts their bones. In all the World, there have been twenty-five before him. But none of them were able to complete the task given to them before they perished.

    Clancy is exceptional.

    Summary

    Rising from the forest floor, the figure is cloaked in perfect black, his face a mask of shadow. Nothing to define him from the void between stars except for the appearance of twin daggers in the shape of the Bishops’ trident.

    And now the escapee understands exactly who - or what - he is dealing with.

    “Please,” he sputters, hands held out before him, feet backing away one hesitant step at a time, “let me go. You-you’re Clancy, right? You hate the Bishops!”

    His voice echoes out among the trees, lonely and frightened. Falling on deaf ears.

    Summary

    Clancy doesn’t always see it, but Torch does. He’s got something special inside of him, a reckless kind of hunger that makes him a little wild, a little untameable. A thing with wings and claws, with all the sky to conquer.

    Torch sees it every time they race each other through the streets. He hears it in every song that Clancy sings. Every angry word he hurls at the sky sometimes because he can’t stand to keep them caged in his chest any longer.

    And that’s a thing he would hate to see die. But that’s what Dema does best. And every day it seems to swallow a little more of Clancy. Pulling him towards an inevitable means to an end.

    But if there’s one thing Torch knows, it’s that he’ll protect Clancy with his life. He’ll be his shield, his guard at his right hand. To keep that spark alive.

    Summary

    There is no exit to this city, you see.

    So when you leave him behind, it is not in retreat, but abdication of a throne. In the abjection of a corpse. He is a dead thing now, playing at life, with a crown of twisted good intentions cutting into his brow. Maybe he always was. This unholy thing. You're never quite certain.

    But you will not glorify the martyr you made.


    And I stare at the soldiers before me
    All my blossoms that have waited to fall
    And I walk, and I walk
    And I walk, and I walk
    Knowing every last one of them is painted in light
    As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

    Summary

    Escape is a black car left idling in a gas station parking lot just off the highway. It shines, dark as sin, and Clancy waits until he is sure no one is watching him before he breaks into a run so bold, so daring that he’s almost certain someone will catch his arm before he’s even made it out of their reach. But he’s been slipping towards the edge of the awning’s safety ever since he got here. Waiting for just the right moment to flee.

    And they aren’t expecting this, not today of all days. When the sun is bright and dangerous. And the summer’s heat is bearing down like God’s wrathful right hand.

     

    Especially not when they’re preparing to feed.
