Welcome Party

After sunset, the people of Wardenclave—the ones who called it home—hosted a party for the Elderboughs. They set out lights in a big, round field. Coop could tell they weren’t normal lanterns because they didn’t flicker with flames. They twinkled.

Sitting in the soft grass, he tested a metal edge, then colored glass. Not hot.

So he picked it up.

Just as a chunk of glowing crystal slid onto his palm, someone crouched and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Coop glanced up into a freckled face. Then back at the rock. “Umm… learning?”
