Two hours later and with his belly absolutely stuffed with food, Luke waved goodbye to the couple and walked onto the street.

No wonder Al is as fat as he is. That lady can cook, and she knows it.

“Well, if it isn’t the rogue,” a familiar voice called out in the dark. Other-Luke stepped out from behind a house across the street.

“Hey.” Luke waved at him. “I was just about to come to you. You didn’t have to stalk me.”

“It’s not like I wanted to. Anyway, let’s go. I waited for you to finish your food, and I would rather be over and done with all this.” He started walking down the paved path, expecting Luke to follow after him.

Hesitating briefly, Luke did just that.

“What’s the Rising Sun like?” Luke asked.

“You want to join?”

“I’m not opposed to it.”

“It’s not impossible, I suppose. How’d you end up by yourself, anyway? You look too young to have fled a mine, so what is it? Why’d you leave your sect and come here?”

“Why are you so sure I fled from my sect?”

“It’s not like there are many other options, now are there? You have the robes, you have a sword, you know about talismans. Clearly you’re not a mortal who figured out how to cultivate. Most of them keep their mouths shut and don’t strut around in the open. You also mentioned knowing the rules. The only way you’d know them is if you had been told them, ain’t that so?”

“Hmm.” Luke hummed. I can work with this. The mines are supposed to be brutal, so it’s not a surprise that people would escape from them. I’m too young, but maybe …

“I didn’t escape from anywhere. My dad was a member of some sect. A different island from what he told me. He taught me how.”

“I’m guessing that’s his sword you have on your hip, then?”

“It is.”

“Where have you been all this time?”

“Up the river.”

Other-Luke looked at him flatly. “Where did you really live?”

“Up the river?” Luke said again, trying not to panic.

What’s so weird about living up the river?

“That’s impossible. The cyclops kills every human that trespasses in her territory.”

“What?” Luke asked, suddenly feeling a cold chill down his back.

A cyclops?

“The cyclops. Sophia the Big. She came to Sylcra a hundred years ago and fought Lord Cyzicus to a standstill. After fighting for ten days, they agreed to split the island in half until one became strong enough to kill the other. Until then, the east side of the island would belong to her, and the west side would belong to the emperor,” Other-Luke explained, looking at Luke incredulously. “Nothing? Everybody knows that! Even the mortals know about it. It’s why they’ve been so pissy about us being here. They think we’ll make her angry or something.”

“I didn’t know that, and I guess my dad didn’t, either, but now that you mention it, I always thought it was weird that no one lived there. It seemed like perfectly good land.”

“I can’t believe you’re not dead.
