A...Again?

[Xanth lets out a hollow, bitter laugh.]

I... n-no, you, you have to be k--kidding. I-I already d--did this. M-My world was... a-already gone. Th--The End took it. K-K'lai, a-and Grams, they... th-they were... already gone.

[He takes in a shuddering breath. His chest tightens, his voice cracks.]

N--Now you say it... it's all g-gone? Unmade? D--Didn't ev--even-- h-happen? How!? I-- I lived that! It-- it can't-- not again--

[There's a small gasp, like a prelude to a sob, but then Xanth slams the book shut.

Xanth takes his record, takes his key, and immediately sets out into the Keep. He's tired, he's so fucking tired, but he has to know if anyone else got snatched into this mess too.]

Probably. Not definitely.

Until I see a bunch of space dust where that planet was, I'm not buying this shit.

[Yeah, this attitude is probably very familiar to the poor kid.]

You just watch. I left a good man back there. Good kids.

I'm getting back to him. I don't care what these people say.

Then we'll just have to find out.

Because.

I have to get back to him. Simple as that.

[His voice softens. This kid is clearly frightened. Hurting. He knew a kid like that.]

What's your name, kid?

Harding.

[A pause.]

... Wait for proof. Then panic.

How is that proof? Maybe we were just targeted. Specifically.

[Harding pauses, too, turning that one over.]

How long were you on the 'ship', kid?

Nine months ago, I was on my planet.

So much for worlds being destroyed.
