Chapter 29

The Incredible Spectacularo stood upon the creaking stage, playing to a crowd of six. The small table upon which he’d placed his frayed top hat stood between him and his audience. “Behold,” he said, squinting into the lights and looking to see if the bulbous-nosed man called El Segador was there. It was too bright to tell.

“Behold,” he said again, forgetting he’d just said it. He reached into the hat, muttering as he did the words to a simple illusion spell. When he pulled his hand out, he held by the ears a white rabbit, which wriggled its nose, fanning its whiskers innocuously. As usual, the audience was not impressed, but then The Incredible Spectacularo flung the illusionary rabbit out into the audience, where it spread its ears and began to flap them like the wings of a bird. This made the people duck and gasp at first, but then laughter followed as the rabbit flew about their heads. The wizard sang into the illusion the gentle air currents of the flapping wings, and the sound of them, and soon the audience was laughing and clapping as the little rabbit did loops and twirls in the air above their heads.

After two or three minutes of it, he brought the illusion back and had it settle in his arms, where he held it, infant-like, for a moment before stooping down as if to deposit it somewhere beneath the folds of the tablecloth, which draped to the ground.

The people were still clapping when he stood back up, three of them standing as they applauded. He tried to smile, but it was all so pathetic it nauseated him. Still, it paid the rent, and for the time, the work kept him out of trouble and out of being vaporized by a rampaging Galactic Mage or being dissected by the inquisitive scientists at the NTA. But now he had that damnable El Segador to worry about. The fact that the man had found Annison was troubling. If he could find him, so could the NTA. Assuming they were still looking for him, which he could not confirm. He liked to think he’d made a clean getaway.

When the war was over and all the Hostile orbs went still and turned gray, the fleet people had come to the prison where all the Prosperion crew from the Aspect had been held. Annison had stayed among them for the time even though he could have teleported out, mostly because he’d had no place else to go. But when they came and opened the doors and told everyone they were going back onto a ship and heading home, that’s when Annison had disappeared. Literally. A quick invisibility spell followed by a teleport to the last place on Earth he could recall, a speck of land viewed through a porthole just before the landing craft flew over the walls at Fort Minot. From there he’d run.

He found his way into the back of a horseless wagon a few
