Afterword
That was how we found out about Metis, the Thulians, and the secret cities that had been operating under all our noses for decades.
There were more secrets to come, of course. None of us knew about the March Prophecies yet. And I don’t think even knowing about them would have made a bit of difference to Bella and Saviour.
But if we had all known how sorely we would be tested and tried in the weeks to come, would we have still been as determined as we were that day?
I don’t know.
But I’d like to think we would. Because the choice really was to fight, or to lay down and die. We could be predators, or we could be prey. It was time for the real fight to begin.
