Gasten walked with purpose. He strode through the tunnels with the
ease of ownership. He was looking forward to tonight. Keeping the peace in
Alloy City just happened to benefit his cause. With his metal army, he
would charge through new dimensions and steal their power for his own.
Once he had the machine, of course.
“Damn her.” He remembered the visions he’d seen of her. Getting
her apartment, stopping the fight for that guy… He wished he could have
seen Fale defeat his best men. She was a mystery to him. But as much as
she fascinated him, like a beetle-on-a-pin, he hated everything she stood for.
And he wouldn’t stop until she was dead.
Caverns in the lowest levels of the industrial plant glowed dimly
yellow. Furnaces vomited their heat in shivering plumes that chased the
whirling shadows. The heat was repugnant to the Source Wizard as he wore
his ceremonial robes for this induction. Tonight’s agenda was a man who
had aided Fale’s group and could not escape punishment. He had worked
for the Control Agency under Gasten’s own influence, and yet helped the
mages’ cause by sheltering the group and proving himself a traitor.
“Good evenin’, Sir.” One of his cronies appeared as he found the
right cave. He knew by the pleading.
“Please, have mercy. I didn’t mean any harm. Where’s my wife and
child?” The man lay on a silver table, his body naked and bound by his
wrists and ankles. By the time they were done he would be one of Gasten’s
elite army. A soldier with human insides, a human face, but the rest made of
a valezsan alloy, the strongest metal on the planet. He would be taller,
broader, heavier, and a great addition to the guards in Garrith.
“Ah, Teague. You know very well that they await you. Your wife is
already recuperating, and you will be sent to Garrith together. I will induct
you myself. Don’t feel too bad if you don’t recognize each other, though.”
“What of my daughter?” Teague’s eyes were wide with fear, like a
horse in a storm. It gave Gasten a little thrill to be the source of his fright.
“The girl didn’t survive the transfer.”
A sob hiccupped through the man’s body. “You are a cruel, heartless
… monster.” Teague spat the words at him but couldn’t stop the tears from
running down his temples to pool in his ears.
Throwing his head back, Gasten laughed heartily and then wiped his
eye. “Why yes, I am.”
He was already beginning to have fun. This transfer would be the
highlight of his week. The woman—Teague’s wife—had only lasted
through the removal of the first few strips of skin before passing out, and
she remained silent throughout the procedure, apart from some whimpering.
No fun at all.
