Marlene walked beside Max, the intruder's parchment carefully stowed away, and felt how the weight of the decision she had made was beginning to influence every movement.

The wind knocked against Zailah's stone still figure sending blond ringlets of hair flying, mixing with the fluttering of her robes. You could almost convince someone she was a wrathful goddess. Amidst the dark rolling clouds stood a large mass of marble pillars in front of her. The temple of stars. The place where people willingly fell to their knees, worshipping stars and handing away their entire futures to the glittering beings. Just like her mother had when she had seeked out Zailah's…

A maze of marble and gold gleamed sharp as a blade in the glare. The palace of Queen Zailah. Servants swarmed the courtyard, frantic ants hauling trays and flowers to please their queen. Inside it was all, icy calm and royal glow. Zailah sat on the ornate throne that once held Argos's past rulers—now ruled by a face as cruel as the sun. Two pale maidens,…
