Bastion Rising
October 22, 2020Okessa Málaga – “Lady Steel,” as the other Houses call her – stands at the balcony rail, sipping her morning tea as she waits for the first warming light of the coming dawn. The spiraling tower of Bastion drops away beneath her, plunging into darkness from a dizzying height.
Someday, she thinks, leaning out over the rail to peer down into the abyss below, I will feel the final wind on my face. One last, brief adventure, and then rest.
“But not today,” she says aloud with a weary sigh. “Today we build. Today we climb.” She sets her teacup down on the rail.
The Last Bastion – the one remaining wonder of a lost age – stretches ever upwards. A spiraling tower city, home to untold thousands of survivors scattered across hundreds of labyrinthine levels, its denizens united in the great work of the tower’s continual construction, willing itself away from the darkness below.
The ascension of House Málaga through the ranks of Bastion’s rigid political order has come dearly. But the Okessa needs only to turn her eyes upward, to the heights of the Reach above, where the ceaseless rhythm of construction thumps on night and day, to know that she is the right woman for the job.
The first flare of dawn cracks across the edge of the world. The Okessa watches it race towards the tower – her tower, for she has done more than most to prolong this generation’s survival. The light’s path runs straight, pure. And as it travels, it reveals what little remains of Myria: an endless Shadowsea that swallows the world. Corruptive darkness reaching from horizon to horizon, lapping hungrily at the lower levels of Bastion.
And with each passing year, the Shadowsea rises. With each passing year, more of the Last Bastion disappears beneath its dark surface. The people of the tower race against time. Against the certainty of what will come, and what awaits when Bastion can reach no higher.
Lady Steel’s eyes harden as she turns from her balcony. “Today we climb.”
