When I wasn’t watching the boy pace back and forth in the cell, probably trying to think of some “resourceful” way to get us out of here, I stared out the small window up at the sky once again. It seemed to be the only thing familiar. It comforted me.

“The tiny blue dot beside that? That’s where I’m from.”

I glanced back at him, recalling our last conversation. He had to have been kidding. That was obviously impossible. How could anyone have come from that speck of a blue star in the sky? He had to be delusional.

On the other hand, if he was telling the truth, it might explain why he believed he needed the power of such an object as the relic to get back to his home.

It was surprising. I had naturally assumed at first that he was from this world given how much he seemed to know about it. Indeed, he gave off the impression as though he’d been everywhere on Arcadia as well—knowing every back road, every shortcut, every village. Then again, who’s to say he hadn’t?

You have no idea what I’ve had to go through just to get here…

He sensed me watching him and looked over. “What?”

I cast him a meaningful glance up from my seat on the floor. “You are far from home. Just like I am.”

For a moment, he didn’t know what I was talking about then he remembered that he had already told me where he was really from. “So you believe me.”

I shrugged. “I’m considering it. Everybody thought Gaea was just another speck in the sky.”

“Yeah well, it’s not,” he replied before he continued to pace back and forth. “We didn’t even know your world existed at all. We were always taught that it was all gas planets past Mars—that’s Terra to you.”

“How is it that you speak our language?” I wondered out loud, mystified.

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if I’m actually speaking it or if you’re just hearing me in your language. But I could always just understand.”

“I myself know many languages but I cannot read your…” I gestured to his shirt.

“Oh, this.” He glanced down. “It’s just the swoosh—never mind.” He dismissed quickly. “It’s not important.”

“And how long have you been here?” I wanted to know. “You seem to know an awful lot about Arcadia. Even more than I do.”

“Let’s see.” He rubbed his chin in thought. “January. That would have been almost…damn.” He groaned a little. “I’ve been here for eight months—or cycles to you.”

I noted his expression. “Is Arcadia not to your liking?”

“Hell no, I love it here,” he countered, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “I love it when armed militant men chase me down everywhere I go. I especially like being thrown in the dungeon. Yeah, that sure gets me for kicks.”

I made a face at his tone. “If I recall correctly, these men took me away. I don’t even know how you came to be here.”

He chuckled under his breath. “I know. You weren’t easy to track down.
