“Have you done this before? Piecing together magical tools like this?”

“Oh sure, but they weren’t magical. Well, you could say they were similar to magic. In the worlds I come from, people can’t do things like transform into animals or send lightning bolts from their fingers, but they built tools and machines that perform incredible tasks that you might call magical. A long time ago, I was a government scientist, sort of like a magic researcher, and my team was tasked to reassemble an alien craft that had crash-landed.”

“A what?”

“The world we’re on is just an island in an ocean of stars, and to cross that ocean, you need flying metal ships. One such ship landed on my planet, much like a regular ship running aground and getting smashed on the rocks. The pilot—or sailor, as you might call him—didn’t survive. He was an alien, a member of a species originating from another planet. He had a scrawny gray body, a large head with big black eyes, and four long fingers.

On one sunny day, her ears drew her to a scuffle in the city's western section. A squad of patrolling soldiers had come under attack by three fiends, all carrying weapons and wrapped in armor. Through repeated battles against the fiends, she had learned the Pack’s patterns. They focused on guerilla tactics, killing patrolling soldiers too far away to call for help or attacking military cargo and shipments between Welindar and Colbrand. They also tore down flags or any sign of Uther’s dominion over the city. Though they could easily slaughter soldiers, they tended to retreat as soon as their mission was completed, lest they draw too much attention and set off a war in the streets.
