CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Ares hadnât spoken to Alistair since he said heâd get everyone off the ship. Heâd given the man space since he knew the way Alistair worked. Space and time, and usually heâd come up with something interesting.
However, Ares didnât need a satellite to understand what had just happened. All he needed to do was look out one of the world breakerâs portholes. He saw enough from there.
Heâd been doing that when Monk approached, the click-clack of his blades audible from far down the hall. Sneaking up on people wouldnât be easy for the robot, not in this form.
Ares didnât look at him. He didnât want to talk to Monk right now since he knew the conversation. Monk doubted. Alistair wouldnât speak to him, and neither would Servia. Yet, he wanted someone to go talk to Alistair other than him.
Ares didnât know what talking to Alistair would do. At that moment, though, Ares could feel Monkâs doubt.
The four in the world breaker had spent much of the past day watching smoke billow off Earthâs surface. Some of the time, they could see where it came from, and others, the Earthâs curvature blocked the burn site. That didnât matter, though, because they could always see the smoke.
Then, the smoke had lessened, slowly at first but faster as the hours passed.
Ares hadnât left this porthole in two hours. Heâd watched the AllSeerâs ships move north across the world. They were heading to Carthage now, and Ares could scarcely believe what his eyes had just shown him: the AllSeer had destroyed the first Commonwealth city in under a single day.
Monk stopped about three meters from him. âYou have to do it, Ares. If heâs going to do something, if he can, it has to be now. It canât wait. There isnât time. I didnât expect the AllSeer to do what he just did, and I have more information than everyone in this military combined. There isnât time.â
Ares nodded. He didnât know if Monk was right, but he needed reassurance because from where he stood, it looked like all was lost. âIâll go. Stay here. Iâll find you when Iâm ready to talk.â
Ares turned without looking at Monk and walked down the circular passage. Alistair wouldnât be far away, not if he was watching the show.
Sure enough, Ares found him about ten minutes later. He was leaning against the outer wall, staring out the porthole as Ares had done earlier. Servia was on the other side of him at the next porthole. She stood with her hands behind her back. Obs was farther down the curved passage, his head between his paws. He didnât so much as wag his tail when he saw Ares. No one, not even the animal, felt a ray of positivity.
Alistairâs face was strained, as if he were holding a giant weight in the air. Servia looked sad but calm.
Alistairâs huge shoulders bulged out of the dirty shirt he wore. A ring of dried sweat ran around the neckline, and Ares wondered if heâd been jogging or something while thinking.
