The War Party
TRAVELING BY MAL’GAMA AT NIGHT WAS ALMOST ENOUGH TO make Chloe
forget everything.
Not that she wanted to forget. In fact, she was annoyed that so much of
her anger had slipped away—anger about the Warren, her home and
sanctuary for these past few months, now invaded and conquered by the
Riven. Anger at Joshua, whose fault it sort of was and who was maybe a
traitor. Anger at Isabel—that was a given. Anger at Mr. Meister and Brian
and Sil’falo Teneves and the rest of the Wardens, who had hidden the
wretched truth about the Mothergates all this time.
It had only been a day since the Warren had fallen.
A day since she had learned she was going to die.
But up here, Chloe found it hard to cling to that anger. It was well past
midnight. The mal’gama sped through the darkness, a thousand feet above
the open farmland of Illinois, carrying its small crew of Wardens. All
around them, the night sky was a black dome of unbroken cloud. Somehow
it seemed right that there were no stars, since Horace wasn’t here to name
them. Chloe was glad he’d stayed behind. It was safer for him back at
Ka’hoka, a sanctuary deeper and better protected than the Warren had ever
been. The thought made her almost sleepy, him being safe.
And it didn’t hurt that the mal’gama itself, a massive carpet of small
soft stones, cradled Chloe as it flew, undulating like water. The front edge
of the mal’gama had formed into a kind of a prow, so that the wind barely
licked at her short black hair. The overall sensation, she realized, as she
fiddled with the Alvalaithen hanging from her neck, felt a little bit like
going thin and diving into the dark earth, soaring through solid ground, as
only she could. Except that here she was not in control. And although she
hated to admit it, not being in control right now was . . . nice.
She supposed Dwen’dailen Longo, the Altari warrior, was in control.
That was nice too. The mal’gama wasn’t Tan’ji, and so it didn’t have a
Keeper, but Dailen wore the ring that controlled the huge Tanu. Did that
make him the pilot? The dog walker? Flying carpet wrangler? She’d been
watching the young Altari, to see what he did, but he didn’t do much.
Maybe the mal’gama had a bit of a mind of its own. All Chloe knew was,
they were going fast. Fast was good. The faster the better.
This was a rescue mission. Allegedly. And Chloe had to admit that the
rescue team she was a part of was definitely badass, even if the word
“team” made her gag a little. Besides herself and Dailen, five other Keepers
rode the mal’gama now, all of them Wardens. They were headed back to
Chicago to try and save those who had been captured by the Riven in the
raid on the Warren. They were going to find Mr. Meister, for sure. And
possibly Joshua too, whether he wanted to be saved or not. And maybe
Isabel—her mother.
