"Is this your village, Riki? It's so peaceful..."

Like Colony 9's, it was a true peace, despite the abundance of activity. Nothing like barren Mechonis metroplexes.

"Would you show me up to the terrace?"

Riki, beaming through a litany of exclamations about the mighty Heropon's hometown, readily assented.

They didn't call it contemplation for nothing. All her stray thoughts, scattering on the rooftop pond, very nearly made her want to scream.

This peace? No thanks to her.

Riki's wing was gentle on her back.

"Fiora should never worry that she not do enough to help. Is enough to be alive."
