A pretty girl, skillfully made up to hide her true beauty, sat in a soft chair and looked out the window, as if observing the sprawling countryside. Not a single psychologist, not even the most experienced, looking at her, would have guessed that the girl was furious. Yes, furious, in the most natural rage!

In the north of the region, she also found no trace of the Gray Giant. And the Master of Distol, Black Fifth, seemed to be able to sense her weakness and behaved insolently and defiantly. Black, one rank lower, contradicted Silver! At any other time, she would have undoubtedly put him in his place. But not now, not only is her Spark barely flickering, but time is precious. Very precious!

She must first find the Source that fed the slug.

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:31

First!

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:31

But so far, her search has been fruitless.

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:31

The bigest mystery, how such a giant gets unnoticed through her town, past the Black patrols, all the way to the high school? For now, it remained a mystery. That Gray had grown up locally and had come into town small, a thought she had long ago dismissed.

She had ruled Ristol for three hundred years, and if the Source of Power had been hidden in her city, she would have found it long ago. Silver didn't doubt that for a moment. Which meant Gray had eaten somewhere. The question was where? Certainly not in the big cities, where he would be spotted at once. Major transportation junctions were also out of the question, as Steel was constantly feeding there, and no Knight would let such a large prey pass him by. The neighborhoods of Ristol remained, unless there was a mistake in her reasoning. She had made this trip through the region to find out.

The Source...

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:33

The more she thought Gray had found it, the less she believed it. The last True Supreme shard had been found in this world more than two thousand years ago. She was just giddy at the thought that Gray had found something that had gone unrevealed to the world for so long. To get a shard of the Spark of the Gone was the realization of all her dreams of strength, power, and...

And safety.

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:35

No one saw the pretty girl's palms clench into fists.

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:35

She was deluding herself. Dreams of the Source clouded her mind.

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:36

But something fattened the slug, didn't it? It couldn't have been born like that, could it?!

Camrad_RIP 21.05.25 в 08:36

Under the even rattle of wheels, pressed her forehead against the cold glass, the girl sat in thoughtfulness, paying no attention to anyone and anything ...
