“Fuck, that guy flies fast!” I shouted as I passed through the labyrinth of tunnels, hundreds of golems rushing past me like ants in a colony. “Gearthur, have the diggers found any gaps in those strange wards in that last chamber?”

“Negative,” replied one of the golems beside me regretfully, speaking for the collective hivemind as the new Gearthur. “The unidentifiable magic protection seems to completely surround the innermost chamber on all sides.”

“So much for the easy route,” I grumbled, pushing forward and continuing my march as I drew my sword. “Has Zuthina made any progress breaking the wards?”

“Negative,” Gearthur said, once again giving me no good news. “Opening a voice channel to a nearby worker now.”

“I’m gonna miss this,” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else. The golems were truly remarkable, and I never knew if I’d see such technology again. “If I could talk to anyone I wanted around the continent, my life would be so much easier.”

“Markus, can you hear me?” Zuthina’s voice crackled as she spoke through Gearthur from somewhere far away. “I’ve made no progress on the wards. They don’t respond to any of my spells. I can’t guarantee they’re magical in nature at all. It could be something beyond magic altogether.”

Beyond magic? What the hell?

“Okay, forget the wards then. Move to the first chamber to open up the starport,” I told her. “I’ll be there shortly to help you with the chimera golems. How is your duplication spell holding up?”

“The golem duplicates are still at two-thirds of the full strength of the originals,” Zuthina replied, “but Xalvex is destroying them by the hundreds. At this rate, I expect them to only retain half strength, but if they ever get lower than a quarter, all the existing duplicates will destabilize and disappear entirely.”

“As long as they’re strong enough to keep pissing Xalvex off up there for a few more minutes, it’ll have to do.” I marched through another tunnel in the wall, following along through the maze of tunnels to head further into the temple. “I’ll keep a real Gearthur golem nearby, so call if an emergency comes up. Gearthur, connect me to Aiyana.”

“Opening a voice channel to a worker nearby Aiyana now,” Gearthur replied in clipped tones, complying immediately with my command.

“Aiyana, if you’re finished with the soil detox, head to the first chamber,” I spoke to the alchemist through the inexplicable voice pathway. “Zuthina and I will need your help to wrangle chimera golems before Xalvex catches on to Tana and Jacob’s distraction.”

“Don’t you think Tana and Jacob need our help?” Aiyana spoke through her own golem. “Buttercup is fast, but Jacob is frail without his adventurer powers. If he ever gets caught, both of them are dead, and Tana won’t be far behind.”

“If they get caught before we deal with the chimera golems, we’re all dead,” I said matter-of-factly as I neared the first chamber. “Have a little faith. Tana’s tough, Jacob’s slippery, and Buttercup is smart. They’ll be fine if we work fast.
