En Route to Holgate

Jordan was sore from the bounce of constant travel along the roads unwinding like a tangle of yarn from Philadelphia’s careful grid work of streets. That night there was no tavern or inn and they rested as well as they could, curling atop each other in an awkward, shifting, and snoring mass of humanity. Rain clouds dampened the skies and a sad drizzle filled the air, soaking anyone too near the wagon’s edges. Clothing grew wet and stained with rust from the bars. A light came on in the carriage and the Tester appeared, snarling at the squish of mud beneath his boots.

“Who is responsible for this?” he demanded. “Which one of you brought a storm without permission? Do you not understand the consequences of such things? Our country thrives due to a uniquely maintained balance. Crops have the correct amount of water and all have the proper ratio of sun.” He peered into the cage, watching the prisoners shift as the light stung their eyes. “There is a way we do things. A way we maintain a proper balance. Now. Speak up. Who is magicking this rain?”

They were silent—cowed with fear.

He dragged the lantern across the bars, making a rhythmic clanging as he paced the area, watching them. Silent, they watched him in turn with frightened eyes. “Fine,” he finally said. “The truth will out. I will know the culprit tomorrow and I will need no Test—nor further questions to find my answer. That is my magick,” he muttered as he disappeared once more into the carriage.
