“Yeah...it’s much better when you can see the sky.” With a big stretch, I filled my chest with fresh air. The ceiling of fog hanging over the Valleys of Death had been a persistent and stifling weight on my shoulders, so seeing a bright and clear sky at last was a relief.

The Far West was in the midst of a great change. I imagined that whatever was driving that change forward, Win wouldn’t be far away. However, the region was still very much in chaos. There was no telling which way the scales would tip. There was no telling what would happen...and really, at this point, there was no telling what was happening right now.

What would happen if the alliance of non-human races won out? Would the enmity they had built up over the past centuries leave any human survivors in the West? There was certainly a possibility of mass slaughter, no matter how much Win would want to avoid it. In fact, more than that, the fact he had human blood as a half-elf meant he was likely to get caught in the crossfire.

Hopefully I was worrying for nothing.

No matter what changed on earth, the sky always remained the same. The sunlight filled it, clouds and rain came and went, and the great winds traveled through it, following nothing but their whims. Today’s wind was blowing north and west, and so I let my feet carry me in the same direction.

If you traveled for a while, you’d eventually come into contact with bandits and highwaymen. With the help of the spirits, I was always highly aware of what was happening around me, so I could avoid interacting with them altogether most of the time...but not always.

I had stopped to ask a traveling merchant for some directions, and his reply had been to attack me together with his escort. Traveling merchants were normally good at balancing risk versus reward—a vital skill for their own survival—so they were supposed to be pretty smart.

“You know what happens to subhumans like you who treat humans this way, right?!” the merchant spat, all attitude despite being buried up to his neck. I guess it didn’t really matter how smart you were. It was hard to look the part in a situation like this.

But “subhuman?” Subhuman. It was a single word that really encapsulated the swollen egos of the humans living here.

Ignoring the ranting merchant, I turned instead to his two bodyguards, buried nearby in a similar fashion. They were still glaring daggers at me, but as they had only fought me as part of their job, they were much more willing to admit when they had lost. They seemed much more likely to talk than the merchant.

“I just want to know about this area, so if you answer my questions I’ll let you go,” I offered, causing the two guards to sink into thought. Of
