The Ajreb colony -- idyllic shores of timeless splendor and ominous

alleyways of more recent intrigue…

No…it can’t be!

Those wings…!

“…see to the sprite, child,I’ll look after your friend.”

That’s all he said, before running off, sword in hand!

And even nowI can’t figure how

LCN was able to light back up --

or why!

Master…? Are you

listening?

Oh, heavens no.

Do you see that, Eleni?

After night falls…

I mean…

in front of the Library.

Lighting up that way…

endangering them…

None of my kind

have ever dared treat a

sprite-circuit like scrap

iron, and I will not be

the first to.

But don’ttry my patience,

LCN!

Listen to this storm…I live for the moment when it lifts. When angry spirits

will loosen their grip.

An end to raging in sky or

land. My watchful eye will

keep vigil over them.

And this is why you’re

coming with me, sprite-circuit.

We will see that she is not

corrupted or endangered by

anyone, any…thing.

“…because I am the Guardian of the Harmony.”

Lemnos! Lemnos ahead!

What a night from Hades!

I never closed my eyes!

And how about me?

Who can sleep with

someone breathing on

her neck all night?

You’re right…

I couldn’t stand

that goat in the

hold.

Who’stalking about

the goat?
