Scion 1325 - Epilogue 2
Wepp stepped out of the College of Synergetics and back onto Rata Sum’s wide upper walkway. Morning light filtered down through passing clouds, and he muttered his thoughts aloud as he slid a steel cylinder under his arm and pulled his collar higher with freed hands. It wasn’t cold, per se. No, empirically it wasn’t cold at all, but with the change of the season, the weather had gone from wonderfully steamy to an almost Krytan coolness nearly overnight. It was the suddenness, not the temperature itself that had caught Wepp off guard, and of course Rata Sum’s altitude didn’t particularly help. It felt like being back on assignment in Divinity’s Reach, which was a memory Wepp still hadn’t come to terms with—who had time for that?
Chapter 54: One Road’s End

Chapter 43.2: Alarming Mistakes
Before long Jinkke and Penny reconvened with the two soldiers, who appeared to have been long since roused by the screaming alarm and were fully prepared for the next step, geared and ready to move. Fjornsson spotted them first, calling their incoming position to Jindel as he hoisted his big broadsword into the scabbard over his shoulder. At his hip was the asuran warhammer they’d gotten from the Vigil captain, a tool that looked a great deal smaller when hanging from a norn’s belt.
Chapter 43.1: Penny Turns
The air had stilled and the trees quieted. Despite the shade, a stagnant warmth settled between the mimosas and other broad-leafed trees that composed the thicket, only adding to the claustrophobia that brewed in Penny’s gut. It was a different feeling than the serpentine knot that sat anxiously alongside it—gods, the two had become fast, stomach-turning friends.
