    Summary

    “I feel as if I have the right to know what business you have with my friend,” Hyrule retorts. “I kind of tolerate him the best out of anyone else, y’know.”

    Legend rolls his eyes. Really feeling the love, traveler. I tolerate you too!

    The wizzrobe sighs. “So nosy. Fine then, if you must know, he has a special affinity that I find quite delectable. I plan to make use of him.”

    Legend stiffens. A special affinity? Delectable? Did she somehow sniff him out as a hero of myth? But if that were the case, wouldn’t she have come to the same conclusion about Hyrule?

    Hyrule’s expression grows bewildered. Ah, so the strange phrasing also threw him off. That’s nice to know!

    The wizzrobe clicks her tongue in displeasure, and Legend gets the distinct impression that her patience is beginning to wear thin.

    “I crave magic, sweet boy,” the wizzrobe purrs, as if speaking to a child. “And he has enough to satisfy me for months.

    A chill settles in Legend’s gut. Gods—Is she going to harvest him?

    Summary

    It had been hard to keep the destination of the trip from Collie, but it was wildly easy to convince him to drop four days of classes to spend fifty-two hours in a car with seven other boys, round trip.

    They've been in the car for five and a half hours so far, and Art is realizing it was kind of a bad idea. It's been fun, don't get him wrong, and it's worth it for Collie, but he fears something will boil over in the next few hours.

    "Is there a single city in this damn state?" Collie asks eventually. There it is.

    --

    The Musketeers are on a road trip for Collie's birthday!

    Summary

    "Say Ray, you know this is the forty-seventh time we've done this walk. Kind of funny, given it's your number and all. Maybe this will be our lucky one.”

    “Yeah. Maybe we'll die for real this time,” Garraty said flatly.

    “Aw, don't say that, boo.” McVries gave him that hard, slanted grin. Ray wanted to punch him. “Let's think about something happier. Maybe you're my Sleeping Beauty, and we'll ride off into the sunset together. Maybe I'll lasso the moon down for you so we can dance forever. How about that?”

    There was still so far to walk—and walk—and walk—and—

    Summary

    Pete considered the question for a long moment, then said, “tell me somethin’ you never told anybody else.”

    Ray blew out a quiet laugh. One foot in front of the other. “You wanna know my secrets, Pete?”

    Pete’s voice was slow like molasses in the dark of the night. “I wanna know everything.”

    Summary

    Billy tries turning to look them in the face, but it's a futile attempt, one so pathetic it makes him want to cry. McVries comes to his bedside, puts a fever-checking palm on his forehead. That touch does something to Billy, and he stops fussing.
    It's the most lucid he's felt in a while: there are memories in his head that are recent, not just inane childhood-hallucinations. He remembers the sabotage, the kind of insurrectionist action so loathed by his father. It happened not long after Arthur Baker's death. Then came the run-for-it, ride-for-it in the rebel car, the pain and the screaming and the careening out of the world.

    or: The last three Long Walkers are rescued by rebels before Stebbins has the opportunity to come clean about his family situation. Forced to lie low in an isolated cabin with his former competitors, he's grappling with old demons and questioning his loyalties.
