Later that evening, they returned with belongings in tow. Elias didn't have much more than what could fit in a single bag. Most of what was in there was clothes: personal items, a few extra shirts, a shark-tooth necklace that once belonged to his uncle, and face paints of course. He wore that makeup tonight, carefully rimming his eyes with thick lines of black. Black painted his lips too. He was already pale and wan, the darkened contours of his face only made him look sickly and wasting.
The amount of Rage that he sensed coming from the Lir compound was enormous. He ground his teeth, but didn't comment. Ascendancy wielded exponentially more in the Red Square, so much Elias had watched in awe. Manix must be the source he sensed ahead, but it was so much more than Elias knew he could handle. That much Rage would crush him.
They approached the compound, not quite sure what kind of scene to expect. Manix told him about an eastwing but Elias didn't know how to find it, or whether they should go there first.
Unsure, he traced the source of Rage that still radiated on his senses.
The scene he found was insane. Two city blocks were devoted to what appeared to be old warehouses, but inside was a giant swimming pool. Dummy ships floated in the water and Elias couldn't fathom how deep it must be.
A crowd had gathered, voices were raised and orders barked. Elias frowned when he looked at Asha.
"What's going on? What do you feel?"
