When I wasnât watching the boy pace back and forth in the cell, probably trying to think of some âresourcefulâ 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.
âThe tiny blue dot beside that? Thatâs where Iâm from.â
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 heâd been everywhere on Arcadia as wellâknowing every back road, every shortcut, every village. Then again, whoâs to say he hadnât?
You have no idea what Iâve had to go through just to get hereâ¦
He sensed me watching him and looked over. âWhat?â
I cast him a meaningful glance up from my seat on the floor. âYou are far from home. Just like I am.â
For a moment, he didnât know what I was talking about then he remembered that he had already told me where he was really from. âSo you believe me.â
I shrugged. âIâm considering it. Everybody thought Gaea was just another speck in the sky.â
âYeah well, itâs not,â he replied before he continued to pace back and forth. âWe didnât even know your world existed at all. We were always taught that it was all gas planets past Marsâthatâs Terra to you.â
âHow is it that you speak our language?â I wondered out loud, mystified.
âIâm not sure. I donât know if Iâm actually speaking it or if youâre just hearing me in your language. But I could always just understand.â
âI myself know many languages but I cannot read yourâ¦â I gestured to his shirt.
âOh, this.â He glanced down. âItâs just the swooshânever mind.â He dismissed quickly. âItâs not important.â
âAnd how long have you been here?â I wanted to know. âYou seem to know an awful lot about Arcadia. Even more than I do.â
âLetâs see.â He rubbed his chin in thought. âJanuary. That would have been almostâ¦damn.â He groaned a little. âIâve been here for eight monthsâor cycles to you.â
I noted his expression. âIs Arcadia not to your liking?â
âHell no, I love it here,â he countered, sarcasm dripping from his voice. âI 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.â
I made a face at his tone. âIf I recall correctly, these men took me away. I donât even know how you came to be here.â
He chuckled under his breath. âI know. You werenât easy to track down.
