I should have known guarding two magologists would not end well. When the majii came, a thick dangerous black substance, the world was caught with her knickers down her ankles. Magic, cried the scientists. Magic was causing it. We were too reliant on it. It powered so much, was in so much of our lives. The majii growth was too fast. Everything it touched fell apart or died: buildings, plants, roads, even people.
It was up to Tourn and Stone, the two men I guard, to save us. Their solution? Some would say it came too late, others, that it came just in time. But Simon started connecting the dots. He started noticing the Nine Seers and the difficulties that followed their presence. Were we too late to save anything, even ourselves?
