angel," the woman whispered. "It has to be."
    Abby wasn't so sure.
    Around her, more people were getting to their knees. Prostrating themselves in front of the creature like he was indeed the second coming. Or if he was heralding it.
    There were no wings to speak of on the creature, but he did look angelic. At least until he opened his mouth.
    The voice was soft and melodious, almost too lovely to belong to a man. "This planet is ours now," he said. "You will all submit."

Chapter One: Begin
    “You would think it’d be easier to find a moving city,” Sorrin muttered as he banged on the side of the machine that held his radar sensor. It was old, definitely not one of those fancy new ones that worked all the time and never caused anyone any trouble, but it was what he had. If he’d stayed with the Queen’s Men, then he’d have had access to more delicate equipment, but Sorrin didn’t need delicate. He didn’t need fancy, either. Hell, most of the time, he didn’t even need completely functional. He just needed it to point him in the direction of the floating city when it showed up.
    And it would show up. Sorrin knew that well enough. Creatures like the Camadors didn’t just vanish into thin air, never to be seen again. They were sadistic and cruel, and they liked to play their games. They would destroy a place and then leave for a while, probably picking out some new and different place to wreak havoc on in their downtime. But they would come back.
    Sorrin meant to be ready for them.
    Though he was a member of the Dirnamen clan and had been born on planet Shor, Sorrin hardly considered himself one of them anymore. Part of taking up the mantle of being one of the warriors who served any member of the galactic Senate was leaving behind the ways of your past and embracing who you were in the present. At twenty years and some days, Sorrin had been more than ready to do that. His family had cautioned against it, of course, joining any warrior band was a dangerous thing, and some Senators weren't above using their warriors as living, breathing meat shields, determined to make sure that the warriors kept them safe one way or another.
    Senator Halphia hadn't been anything like that, of course. Unlike her fellows on the Senate, she'd been kind and open to embracing the ideas of the people. Her warriors would have died for her if only because that was the kind of loyalty she inspired.
    For all they were still using the warrior method of battle and protection, they actually lived in a rather advanced society. The city of Gollen Par had been something of a mixed bag, calling people from all over the galaxy to it. There truly had been something for everyone there, from job opportunities to better housing to all kinds of culture. It was a new city built on the bones of an old one, and it had been ever expanding.
    When Sorrin had taken the job working for Halphia, he'd brought his family to live there. The squalor they'd been living in back on Shor hadn't been worth staying in, and he wanted the best for them.
    Unfortunately, that had gotten them killed. Should have just stayed on Shor.
    All his thoughts usually circled back to that, and he gave himself a mental shake and turned his eyes back to the sensors. They were black screens that were monitoring the space around the planet and just outside of it. Ever widening green rings indicated distance, and a softly pulsing yellow line showed where there was nothing. If the floating city showed up, the line would turn red, and then Sorrin would know.
    But it had been years of nothing. Hundreds and hundreds of days of nothing, and honestly, it was starting to make him go a little mad. All he wanted was a blip. A little sign. Something.
    He knew he wasn't wrong about this. If someone else had defeated the Camadors then he'd have heard about it. His personal tablet and communication device was set up so that any major news stories with 'Camador' or 'floating city' in the article would ping
