ARC OF THE IMMORTALS/ Book 1 — Part 2
Pursuit: 38/ Down The Rabid Hole
Recap: A liquid fuel rocket takes off by Von Deign’s ship. Hannah & the younger Touzdae are on his view screen. They cut-off communication. The rocket explodes.
Recap continued: Touzdae as observer knows they didn’t perish. Jac works on testing the new ship.
Touzdae intends to go to Hannah and her younger self but goes to Gata during the collapse of the Levelz. Touzdae merges with her younger self grieving until the younger falls asleep. She transports to an earlier time outside Goto-ak’s shop where Luna walks away.
Touzdae wonders if what her mafa said about duplicates applies to Luna. Young Touzdae finds herself back on Von Deign’s ship in front of her mafa encased in salt in a half-life chamber. Intent on saving her mafa, Hannah appears and says her you can’t.
“You can’t save her, Touzdae,” Hannah tells the young Touzdae.
They stood in a long corridor. To the right, an embankment of transparent half-life chambers lined the wall. Filled with people. Each encased in salt of various colors.
“She’s alive within the salt. In pain. She must be saved,” young Touzdae beat her fists into Hannah’s chest in a feeble gesture.
