flash, he apparently couldn’t manage to move faster than my right hook to his jaw. the smell of soot stings my nose, forcing me to clamp a grimy hand over it to stop a sneeze from slipping out. that would be a very pathetic way to get caught. when i’m sure that my nose won’t alert the imperials lurking beneath where i’m hiding, i return my hand to the filthy wall my back is currently pressed against with my feet planted opposite me. after taking a deep breath that nearly has me choking on soot, i slowly begin my climb upwards once again. with thighs burning almost as much as my nose, i force my body to continue shimmying while stifling the sneeze. climbing up a chimney isn’t exactly how i thought i would be spending my evening. the small space has me sweating, swallowing my fear before scrambling to …

rise, nonetheless. even honey soaking my clothes beats trying to wash blood out. i take in a deep breath and look out over the crumbling, rundown buildings cast in shadows by the flickering lampposts dotting the street. there’s not much electricity here in the slums, but the king generously spared us a few lampposts. thanks to the volts and scholars using their abilities to create a sustained power grid, i have to work exceptionally hard to stay in the shadows. farther from the slums, the more the rows of shops and homes slowly improve in condition and size. shacks turn into homes, homes turn into mansions, leading up to the most daunting building of all. squinting through the darkness, i can just barely make out the looming towers of the royal castle and the sloping dome of the bowl arena that resides beside it. my eyes flick back to the …
