--- Chapter 18 ---
The group settles into a hotel room.
Sole: Ok who wants first watch. two people need to scan the town.
Hiro: I can go.
Ame: I'll go as well.
Elias: Great.
Hiro puts his backpack on. And Ame straps a large golden brown rectangle to her back. They head out into the streets.
Hiro: So, do we split up or?
Ame: We would cover more ground that way.
Hiro: Alright, sounds like a plan.
They split and go separate directions. Hiro walks around, in hopes of locating any shady figures. As he's walking he passes a beautiful woman wearing furs and sunglasses. Hiro gets a weird feeling passing her so, he quietly starts following her. Ame starts to head towards the shipment, to check up on it. She turns the corner and sees a couple guys, and they were not the owner or employees. She quickly hides behind the corner.
Ame: Shit, are those guys Tenyi?! I might be overreacting but still. I have to be cautious. I'll go in through the front.
Hiro continues to follow. Ame heads to the front and grabs the door knob. She twists.
Ame: It's unlocked.
She continues to open it, only to see a blood bath, the owner tied up in the corner upside down, with the workers all over the floor, some not even whole.
Owner: Please… Help…
She slowly opens the door to help this man.
Ding!
The sound of a bell rings as the door opens.
Ame: Shit!
???: Well well well. What do we have here? That symbol, Elune I presume?
Ame: …
???: Ah, the silent treatment. That works for me.
He dashes in, she quickly reacts with running out. They stare at each other down the empty street. Hiro follows this lady, but sees Ame about to fight this guy. He looks and sees a group of guys around the material.
Hiro: There already there?!
Hiro runs into the room of guys, abandoning pursuit of this lady.
Hiro: So! You're the Tenyi I have been hearing so much about!
They all look at Hiro and smile.

The Featherlight Transmission
In the ancient desert metropolis of Wellspring City, magic is dead, and technology reigns supreme. Baulric Featherlight, one of thousands of street mages for hire, is summoned by the City Watch to assist with a particularly grisly murder - the deed was done by a rogue mage, and the fanatical Dynamic Brotherhood will have every arcanist in the city pay for it. The killer continues carving a line of death throughout all twenty sectors of the city, and anti-magic sentiment begins to rise. Will Featherlight's singular skills be enough to hunt down this elusive killer? Or will fear and old hatreds finally tear Wellspring City apart? (Cover art by the inestimable UncertaintyCrossing. You can find more of his enchanting works here.) hi! im the guy that wrote this story. i hope you like reading it. im bad at elevator pitches ^ and honestly, it's a little misleading. it's really just a detective noir with a few extras. if you like detective stories, this is a good one. it's got robots and magic and stuff too. have fun! (obligatory extra note: im an internet busker who subsists on the generosity of readers like you. if you haven't done your good deed for the day and you think my work is worth paying for, why not tip some spare change into my hat? i'd be awful appreciative ♥) [premium game of the year DLC edition edit: if you've read the whole thing for free and want to buy a copy for yourself, this dang ol' story is available for purchase on amazon now. it's not super special, but showing your support by buying it would make writing new ones a lot easier. thanks a million billion for reading either way ♥]
