Our vehicle arrived a short while later. The way into the city was as smooth as promised. One of those weird, automated rounded-rectangle carriages showed up, we got inside, and the guard waved us right on in. There hadn't been anyone inside the vehicle, but it had apparently been pre-programmed to take us to Senator Rylos.

I was crammed in a corner, eyes wide as we flew through the streets with such speed that the world outside blurred to streaks of color.

"It's perfectly safe," Kolyr said as he sat on the benched seat across from me.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Solys used to brag about your technology, too."

"I see." His voice was stiff.

I tore my eyes from the window. "What?"

"We're all the same to you, aren't we?"

"I mean, you all do brag about yourselves a lot, so . . ."

"Do I?"

I frowned. "Well, no, I guess not."

Kolyr said nothing. He was the one looking out the window now. I followed his line of sight and saw we were slowing down. That meant we were reaching the senator's, which meant I was one step closer to freedom.

Even with the promise of true freedom right around the corner, I was more concerned with whatever was going on with Kolyr. I couldn't figure out where any of this was coming from. He'd been ready to give me up to Solys at some point, and now he was acting like I was the one who'd done something wrong to him. I'd been nothing short of nice lately, especially by my standards.

I wouldn't get any time to ask him though. The moment we stopped in front of the ivory-colored gates set in matching walls, the car was whisked inside and we were rushed straight to the front steps of the mansion located within. It was slightly smaller than Solys's, but it was just as filled with guards. The most obvious mark of a Korysti politician, in my limited experience.

Before we'd even started toward the doors, they burst open. The guards scrambled to hold them open as a human woman ran to us, her expression twisted with sadness.

"Marion?" I could hardly believe my eyes. "What're you doing here? I figured you'd be long gone by now."

"You know her?" Kolyr asked.

"She's the one who helped me escape from Solys."

"You still have that thing?" Marion pointed at the staff I was holding and smiled, although it was still tinged with sadness.

I rolled my eyes. "Hey, c'mon, why're you looking at me like I'm dead?"

"Because you look like death, Naomi."

"I'll have you know this is an improvement."

Marion brought a hand to her mouth, smothering a laugh. From behind her, a tall Korysti male walked through the doorway and draped an arm around her waist.

I lifted my brows and looked between them. "I was going to ask what you were doing here, but I think I've figured it out. He must be the Korysti you were talking about? The one who could help?"

"The very one," she replied, her faint smile growing wider. "This is Senator Rylos Sonethel.
