NINETEEN

He rapped his fingers on the glass. It was surprisingly durable. Runed, if he had to guess. There was no other way for it to survive a fall of this height.

Before he could start adding new components, the damaged ones had to be stripped. He used the scribe to carefully remove several of the plates covering the machinery, then started to work out the broken pieces and set them aside.

The internal damage was as bad as the external damage, but at least a lot of it was salvageable. By the time Angel finished, he had a small pile beside him and pen wires hung from his arm.

Now that all of the damaged parts were out of the way, he reached up to his shoulder, working the scribe for several minutes. With a hiss and a disconcerting grinding sound, the arm detached.

He set it down in his lap, trying to ignore the strange feeling that came with losing that much bodyweight. He felt naked without it. Every part of him longed to put the arm back together as quickly as possible.

He crushed the desire. Angel’s movements were slow and methodical. He used the scribe to draw a thin line in the top of a plate, continuing the motion and using the raw magic to carve a hole into it. It took nearly five minutes for the metal to pop out.

He inserted the glass tube, routing the wires to the ones in his arm. He held an orb of magic to the power source and the tube hummed to life, emitting a faint red light. However, it was too dim. He didn’t even have to test anything to know that the tube wasn’t going to be enough.

With a sigh, Angel scanned the room. The tubes hadn’t been rare, and he was pretty sure that at least a few of them had fallen along with him.

It took him nearly an hour to confirm his suspicions, and another two hours to find two more of them. He found some other useful bits as well, including several tubes about half the length of his forearm. They had thick spirals of metal running through them and weighed a considerable amount. The thicker tubes looked like they’d been made in the same fashion as the smaller ones, but their size and heft suggested they were for a different purpose. Throughout his search, Angel kept to the boulders and rocks around him. He had no desire to venture out without a functioning arm.

He returned to his cranny and sat down beside the pile of parts, setting his new treasures close. He carefully created three more holes in the top of his arm, inserting the small tubes beside the first one.

A test of the power source lit them all up. A smile flickered across Angel’s face, but the repairs were still far from over. His orb was drained and vanished almost instantly. The converters drew much more energy than what his arm normally did.

His mind was starting to feel
