After years of feeling helpless, like I had to wring every tiny bit of good fortune out of the wet rag of my life, it was nice to have the power to do something.

Q

But his dreams were like dazzlebugs: so bright and flashy that they kept him from seeing the rest of the world like it really was.

A

Nightingale

36
Q

The vortex generator gave a loud pop and opened, revealing a whirling twist of darkness.

A

Nightingale

37
Q

I’m going to run some tests on this red steel.

A

Nightingale

38
Q

Squinting, I could just barely make out the symbols etched into the blade itself.

A

Nightingale

39
Q

Where two sapphire eyes had once winked at me, now there was only one.

A

Nightingale

40
Q

Clear tubes spiraled in the air and looped out along the walls, weaving in complex patterns as they carried the bubbling torrent of soda here and there.

A

Nightingale

41
Q

Before I could move, before I could even shout out a warning, he tore something from the very heart of the device: an intricate contraption of tubes and crystals that pulsed with an aetheric glow.

A

Nightingale

42
Q

I gritted my teeth, trying to spot Dark Spectacles, but I’d lost him in the bubble-filled chaos.

A

Nightingale

43
Q

My flowing black cloak snapped, abruptly closing around me like a clamshell.

A

Nightingale

44
Q

Didn’t you just promise your brother to give up heroing?

A

Nightingale

45
Q

It’s big enough to boil a watermelon.

A

Nightingale

46
Q

All you need to do is fly around the city until it starts making noise, and then go in the direction that makes it get louder!

A

Nightingale

47
Q

As I swung the tracker in a slow arc toward the left, the wailing increased.

A

Nightingale

48
Q

The tubes were made of crystal, which meant I could see very clearly the swirl of glimmering dust inside.

A

Nightingale

49
Q

I set the gold rook down beside the receipt with a satisfying clunk.

A

Nightingale

50
Q

It’s worth what I say it is, if you want to get your mother’s locket back.

A

Nightingale

51
Q

So if we follow the tubes, we could figure out where the waste is coming from.

A

Nightingale

52
Q

Project Red will be fully functional on the day of the coronation.

A

Nightingale

53
Q

The union will be the perfect scapegoat, and we might just kill two birds with one crimson stone.

A

Nightingale

54
Q

By the time he’d given a startled yelp, his entire torso and legs were sheathed in ice.

A

Nightingale

55
Q

We never know our own strength until the world tests us, Mum had told me once.

A

Nightingale

56
Q

Aside from the wheels, he looked like any other dog, slobbery and furry and far too eager to love anyone he could.

A

Nightingale

57
Q

They were the most comfortable, most lovely clothes I’d ever worn.

A

Nightingale

58
Q

Because being his friend was so impossible.

A

Nightingale

59
Q

The symbols represent different qualities and properties - ingredients - and when you combine them in the right way, you generate effects.

A

Nightingale

60
Q

It was late by the time I crept back into the boardinghouse.

A

Nightingale

61
Q

The last thing I needed was to accidentally show off my other new outfit.

A

Nightingale

62
Q

I, er, might’ve slipped a batch of sleeping powder into her favorite perfume atomizer the other day.

A

Nightingale

63
Q

I flung the door open and charged in to find the other girls gathered there, all of them staring in horror at a frail, luminous gleam that drifted near the center of the room.

A

Nightingale

64
Q

Was I imagining things, or were we flying there for a moment?

A

Nightingale

65
Q

And the good new is, I think I managed to stabilize everyone for now.

A

Nightingale

66
Q

Why would it be dangerous for me to know I’m your best friend?

A

Nightingale

67
Q

There’s a line between making the world better, versus just making it what you want it to be.

A

Nightingale

68
Q

If there was ever a moment for my third power to show itself, this was it.

A

Nightingale

69
Q

Except…there was someone lying on the floor, not far from me, lanky limbs spread-eagled across the tiles, held in place by a rope-net.

A

Nightingale

70
Q

Except…there was someone lying on the floor, not far from me, lanky limbs spread-eagled across the tiles, held in place by a rope-net.

A

Nightingale

71
Q

The runes flared so bright, my eyes filled with stars.

A

Nightingale

72
Q

The new factory will be ready tomorrow, just in time for the coronation jubilee.

A

Nightingale

73
Q

The fingers around my chest tightened.

A

Nightingale

74
Q

Dimly, I heard something that sounded like a growl, followed by ferocious yipping, then a crackling clap like thunder.

A

Nightingale

75
Q

If I couldn’t do the same, then I had lost something a lot more valuable than gold.

A

Nightingale

76
Q

Assuming your connection rune works, I’ll be ready to broadcast my article over the ephemeras.

A

Nightingale

77
Q

It’s better than sacrificing your own brother for the sake of power!

A

Nightingale

78
Q

But I was a pretty good thief for the two years before that, and right now, that’s what really matters.

A

Nightingale

79
Q

Don’t worry, it’s just a minor beverage malfunction!

A

Nightingale

80
Q

It was my choice.

A

Nightingale

81
Q

The only question was: Did I believe I had the strength to try?

A

Nightingale

82
Q

That was where I needed to strike.

A

Nightingale

83
Q

Reunited, our bond was even stronger than it had been before.

A

Nightingale

84
Q

Metal clashed on metal, sending me flying away like a pitiful bird bouncing off a glass window.

A

Nightingale

85
Q

I’m pretty sure the only way to unmake him now is to hit all six of them at the same exact time.

A

Nightingale

86
Q

Five more gems winked up, black, white, gold, green, red.

A

Nightingale

87
Q

Because the world needed more than just one hero.
