From the perspective of a being as old as humankind, time was supposed to be meaningless. Dana had seen entire civilizations born, flourish and wither more times than she cared to count, but the years she spent imprisoned in Rathcroghan felt longer than the entirety of her past life.
Things didn't get much better after she was released because the world she knew and loved had disappeared in the proverbial blink of an eye. If the zeppelins were already a big surprise, finding out that humanity was now relegated within tall walls to hide from creatures of myth and legends was a complete shock, even to a supernatural being like her. But worst of all was the fact that when she finally got the chance to check her cellphone, she didn't have phone service or wi-fi.
"Is my thingy broken?" Dana asked Jon after giving up on fixing it on her own.
"You really didn't expect to have internet access with how things are, did you?" Jon said.
