Capítulo 21: Chapter 21: Decision

Jack jumped as the glass broke somewhere nearby. He shook his head and peered into the dark quarters. Eerie green and purple light glazed the surfaces of the small room. Shadows of things danced through the windows. He summoned a fireball to fill his hand. As soon as the light of it caught dirty paint smeared faces, Jack flew to his feet, flinching as his jeans rubbed at his raw groin. He threw the fireball at the broken window and into a man whose grimy paw was reaching into the car. The train rocked back and forth. Two more of the dirty fellows fell.

"What the hell is going on?" Jack shouted.

From beyond the door to the cabin, Weylin responded in a meek voice, "Vestarians."

"Get us moving!" He shouted, sending a line of fire out the window. A group of five Vestarians took the blow, catching fire and flailing like mad men. They screeched and howled, which only rallied the men around them who threw themselves upon the train.

"Almost there!" Weylin shouted from the cabin.
