CHAPTER 17
Honestly, That Could Have Gone Better
A sick feeling shot through Marrill, worse than Remy and Coll wobbling beneath her feet. It was true. Back on the Stream, the Iron Ship had entered the whirlpool after them. But in Monerva, it had come out years before the Kraken arrived.
Continuity cannot be guaranteed.
The Master of the Iron Ship was here, now. And heâd gone to the Wish Machine.
âHe must have found the Syphon and kicked it into high gear,â the tall lady, Talaba, added from under her rag canopy. âIt really started pulling in the Stream water after he showed up. And then the gears really started turning. Which has been quite exciting, as you can imagine. Lots of fresh building material coming in on the tide.â
The little man on his pedestal nodded enthusiastically. âLook at this great new stuff!â He pointed down to where several cranes struggled to lift an entire warehouse. âThere hasnât been a haul like this since the time of the Salt Sand King himself, when the Syphon sucked in some poor little backwater world and ripped it to pieces.â
âThe Shattered Archipelago,â Marrill whispered. Once again, Ardent had been right. It had been a world like hers, drawn onto the Stream and torn apart by its raw magic. Drawn in, she now knew, by the Syphon of Monerva.
A world like hers.
âMarrill?â Fin said, circling around her. âAre you okay?â
Everything seemed to spin. Her eyes unfocused, sliding up the smooth surface of the Wall to the gnarled tower at its top, to the plumes of smoke and orange fire rising up from whatever lay on the other side.
First, thereâd been the flash flood back in Arizona, and the mysterious message on the stop sign. Then Rosebergâs. Now this warehouse.
The Stream will touch your world again. But if itâs close enough for you to stumble upon, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.
âOh no,â she whispered. âOh, oh no.â
Remy clamped a hand on Marrillâs leg. âWhat? What âoh noâ?â
Marrill clutched her hands to her chest. A tear formed in her eye. âItâs our world this time, Remy,â she said. âThe Stream is leaking into our world. Arizona, Bostonâall of it!â
âThatâs it,â Remy ordered. âPut us down, Coll. Team meeting!â
Coll grunted. âWith pleasure,â he said as he lowered them to the ground. Fin landed on the platform next to them.
âExplain,â Remy said. âNow.â
Marrill swallowed, trying to keep her voice from trembling. âItâs the Syphon,â she said. âThe Master of the Iron Ship is already here. He did something to make the Syphon suck in Stream water faster, and now itâs going so strong itâs sucking our world onto the Pirate Stream. The magic will tear it apart, just like it did to the world that became the Shattered Archipelago!â
Remy stumbled, grabbing onto Collâs arm to steady herself. âOkay, now Iâm really sorry I asked.â
Fin touched down next to them. âI hate to step on your tails when theyâre already drooping, but is anyone else worried about what the Master might be wishing for?â
Marrill dropped her head into her hands.
