All her plans had been... «Unmade»
istar118 марта 2016All her plans had been ridiculous, the laughable imaginings of a panicking child. Or perhaps that was just how they appeared to Ash. Kami was slowly losing her grip on how to differentiate between her darkening view of the world and the shadow through which Ash saw things. She felt Ash’s regret, sympathetic but chilling, like a cold hand placed kindly on her shoulder. She tried to pull herself together the only way she knew how.I have a plan to get in, she told him. This is fire. We can go to our school and steal all the fire extinguishers there: we can put it out enough to get in.It’s magical fire, said Ash. That’s why it never burns out and never spreads. Fire extinguishers aren’t going to work. He had vetoed every one of her plans. Lucky for you, I have another scheme. First I need a hundred ducks, but after that it will all be pretty simple.What do you need the ducks for?I’m going to put a whole bunch of them in a giant catapult and launch them over Aurimere, Kami said. This will create a distraction. My message will be: Look at all the ducks I give. Ash’s amusement sang through her body as a laugh would have sung through her ears: appreciative but humoring her too. Jared would have said, I’m in. What’s our next move?
