The world was awash in pink, singing exquisite notes that near shattered the ears, and Nigredo could merely shudder in the wake of another miracle. Hadn't the false tones of the eldest laid it out so clearly? The dilemma of the U.R.T.V. and their talents.

"You're gonna tell him about something that gives back your powers when that's what screwed ( Read more... )

Guy's head was still spinning from finding out that his friend was back once again. He realized that he'd done a good job of keeping his cool while explaining everything to Luke, mainly because nothing would have been solved if both of them had been reeling, but ( Read more... )
