It went as Morena thought it would.

Death sent down from a group dying themselves.

The thought, that she would die very, very soon, felt strange. Bynums lived. They lived for a long time, and by any standard, she was just now reaching middle age. She had another half of her life to live, and yet a group decided that her time was over.

She finally understood Chilras' fear of colonizing other planets. Before, she had only been concerned with Bynimian’s survival, but now she saw why Chilras didn’t want to kill. The Makers decided when life ended; it was planned that way, and for another being to decide they know more than The Makers bordered on blasphemy.

Shut up with that nonsense, Morena.

If that was the truth, then why did The Makers create free will? She thought such idiocy right now because she was just told she would die. Chilras was frightened because she was old and couldn’t see around the corner, though someone was standing on the other side screaming at her what to expect. The Makers created this place, but they didn’t dictate what happened in it.

And if they did, if this illusion of free will was nothing more than that, then Chilras never had a choice in killing Morena. Her Knowledge grew in strength, telling her that whatever she needed to be looking for was rapidly approaching. She would die here, but only if she messed up. She would never get to the point of having her aura smothered if she paid attention and acted.

She wanted Briten next to her. Whatever happened over the next two days, they were going to meet their fate together, whether that be death or life. When the chance showed itself, she would only take it if Briten could take it too.

The world saw Briten as a slow moving river, or perhaps a still lake. She knew differently, though, because she saw inside his aura. She knew that if pushed, the power bred inside him would erupt on this world as lethal as any exploding core. Morena needed to get to him, somehow. She had to get out of this cage and find her husband, and then they would face their fate together.

Calm down; it’s coming.

Her thoughts were running away from her, would continue to if she allowed them. She had been sentenced to death and perhaps such a decree caused one to lose focus.

The decree didn’t matter, though. That’s what she was coming to realize. The moment of opportunity was approaching, and Morena smiled as she thought about it, because all of Chilras’ well laid plans would lay scattered like sand during a storm. Morena might not be able to save her people, but with each passing second, she felt she could save herself and her husband.
