The Gates of City A

I woke up to the sound of explosions and Cerberus weaving back and forth. Grumbling under my breath that it wasn't a road trip without Lin trying to blow someone up, I pulled the covers up to my chin and fell back asleep.

Or at least, that was the plan. When Cerberus slammed on his brakes and literally slid to a stop, I had had more than enough. "What now?" I groaned as I looked around. It must have been early morning because the sun was just peaking over the trees on either side of the highway.

"Sorry, My Queen," said Cerberus, sounding truly sorry for waking me up. "Some Reavers have caught up to us, and the Horsemen were trying not to wake you up."
