Map of the Iron Province

TRANSCRIPT

After everything, I so badly wanted to just jump in there and find out once and for all what the fuck was going on, but obviously that would be a terrible idea. Instead, Brick and I plotted, and waited for the dust to settle. Only one could emerge out of there.

Plan was, Brick and I remained close as he has no abilities to counter a wielder. 40 likely had some stake to not kill me immediately, not so much for Brick. So, if things turned violent, he would be the first target. I'd keep my stone at the ready to counter

After an hour, the darkness lifted, revealing another distorted landscape. I could sense an energy, 40, but its clear she was not in the best shape. Brick and I marched towards her. Both with our guns drawn.

We found her at the center, her gun already pointed in our direction. With her enhanced senses she heard us coming, go figure. So there we stood, guns drawn in a 2v1 standoff surrounded by corpses of crazies within this broken battleground. We stared at each other for a good while in silence. Without speaking a word, she knew why I was here.

I was first to break the silence, asking if she was also being pursued by someone, and thought it was me when we first met. Slowly, she nodded yes. I pressed further, if she killed the one persuing us. No answer. Asked again, and still no answer.

Then I asked if she knew of other wielders. She paused, looked at Brick, then me. In only what I could describe as a flash, she dashed towards Brick with unnatural speed.
