Moments later, we stood outside the metal wall.

Atlas broke a lock on the front gate and shouldered the metal doors open. The area on the other side looked like one of those ghost towns, like the ones in Japan and Russia, which were deserted after a nuclear disaster. All of the structures were intact, but eerily lifeless, sheened in an inch of grayish black grit.

We strode through the center of the town and ascended the stone steps that fronted the tower. The main door was open, and as soon as we entered, I drew in a sudden breath. Something was seriously wrong.

For starters, the interior of the tower was significantly larger than it had appeared from the outside. I didn’t know whether it was some superhero’s illusion or a figment of my imagination, but it was readily apparent as I did a circuit of the interior space.

There was an entry hall, circular in design, that was centered by what I assumed was a metal staircase, broad and curving, that rose up through the tower, leading up to the lair of the Polymath, situated some unknowable distance overhead.

But the most impressive and challenging feature of the staircase was how it branched off into a countless number of different directions, like the arms of an octopus, angled in such a way that it looked impossible to mount.

“It was designed intentionally to thwart the curious,” Atlas said.

“And us,” I said. “How are we going to climb that thing?”

“There’s only one path through it,” Aurora said.

“I think I know the way,” Atlas said.

I quirked an eyebrow. “You think?”

Everyone secured their gear and followed Atlas, who placed a foot on the lowest tread and began hauling himself up.

“How old is the Polymath?” I asked.

“Ageless,” Aurora said.

“And his wisdom apparently defies description,” Splinter said.

“Dude’s nickname’s the Ancient of Days,” Kaptain Khaos added.

Whether it was a play of light or my imagination, I soon saw that the staircase seemed to expand the higher we climbed, spreading out, populating the other spaces beyond my peripheral line of sight. “Is it just me—”

“Nope,” Liberty said, reading my mind. “The thing’s alive. It’s expanding and evolving.”

“The Polymath probably did it on purpose,” Kaptain Khaos said. “To throw off any unwanted visitors.”

“To fuck with us,” Splinter added.

Thankfully, we had Atlas to guide us. The big man never looked back or uttered a word. He just set his jaw in a look of grim determination and continued hiking up the staircase, moving left, then right, ignoring the ever-enlarging staircase, following some unseen course that only he was aware of.

The higher we climbed, the more I felt a change in temperature.

It had grown cold, probably down around forty or fifty degrees.

I shivered and looked back and then wished I hadn’t. The bottom of the tower could no longer be seen and the angle at which we were positioned made it appear as if we were standing on the edge of a pyramid.

Hands grabbed me, and I looked back to Liberty and Lyric. They
