Desert Door

Dica and Lox had been around Sec long enough now to recognize when it was the other Sec talking, even R.o.b. had started to notice. It was the same voice as normal, but the cadence was different and with a slight unplaceable accent. Also, there were the glowing pupils, it was subtle, but sometimes, if she was in shadow when the voice came it almost looked like her eyes emitted a faint glow. They were always striking, heterochromia and all, but this was something more than that.
This time felt a bit different though, stronger somehow. Sec began speaking about the kingdom and how she could fix what they’d done, about how she’d helped to build this place, that she’d left something she needed inside…a ridiculous notion, the temple is millennia old maybe even predating the cataclysm, beyond any written memory.
The siblings thought she was losing her mind, they’d find help for her somewhere, they had to.
