FORTY-TWO

THE LAST MEAL

Astrid peered at the new arrivals. One team consisted of the people they had run into before, though, there were two fewer than before, and they had more recent injuries. A quick check with Identify showed that they had lost their healer. Their faces were dejected and battered, yet they travelled forward.

Astrid shook her head. Greed. It was one of the biggest killers in the bubbled towns and cities.

“What the hell is this?” One man walked forward. He held an enormous axe in one hand and was covered in beast fur. He wore no armour. Despite that, he was whole and healthy. The only evidence of battle were the many scars etched on his powerful body.

“Food?” the man said.

He stopped in front of the table, and his large hands grabbed what appeared to be a cooked bird. With a snap, he tore a leg from its body. Placing it to his nose, he took a sniff and his eyes lit up. He opened his mouth and tore into the golden skin. Liquid trickled down his chin and disappeared into his thick beard.

“Dig in!” he shouted towards his team members, who quickly joined him.

“Daniel, what do we do?” Astrid looked at the leader.

The murals that lined the walls held Daniel’s focus. Astrid followed as he approached them. His fingers trailed across the pictures. Monsters in the millions left darkened doors and spilled out into the world. They slaughtered without hesitation or remorse. They feasted to their heart’s content. Once they were finished, they moved on to the next target. The next destination. Fire engulfed the world, followed by a raging wave that obliterated anything—and everything—in its path.

“Holy shit, this resembles the murals back on HMS Rebirth,” Brett said, gazing up at the wall.

“No. History told us that the monsters appeared from the sky. These… came from the dungeons that we’re currently in.” Daniel’s palm ran across one of the many darkened doorways that filled the wall.

“Daniel, are you saying that what you thought was right all this time?” Lisa pressed her hands together.

“Maybe,” Daniel said with a trembling voice.

“I don’t see the Leviathan,” Losef said.

Daniel began looking at the other murals. Monsters of all different sizes and strengths appeared in the millions. But none was a Leviathan. Then Daniel stopped at larger murals on either side of the enormous set of doors. These monsters were larger in scale than anything Astrid had ever seen. Even the Leviathan in the picture books couldn’t compare.

At the corner of the mural, away from everything else, something caught her attention. Wandering closer, Astrid saw a strange black blob attached to a a man’s head. He appeared to be trying to fight it and tear it off. But it didn’t budge. The mural showed it slowly absorbing into his body. Astrid’s finger wiped at her eyelid.

“Don’t tell me”—Rachelle paused—“that the Leviathan isn’t, or wasn’t, the biggest threat?”

“Surely they’re all extinct, right?” Brett said.

“I’ve never heard of anything bigger, or more powerful, than the Leviathan,” Lisa said.
