Boundary (2014)
“Augustus 10Year 242, A.H.
I finally retire to my bedroom, spent from the Northern Lights festival. Good thing Lukas didn’t send word to meet tonight. Tomorrow night I might be ready. But tonight, I’m not certain I can tear myself away from the memory of my kiss with Jasper.
I shoo Katja away from my bedroom; I want to be alone with the feeling of Jasper’s lips on mine. As I collapse onto my bed, an envelope slides out of my pocket. How could I have forgotten it even for a few ticks? Once again,... I’m amazed at the dangerous lengths Jasper has gone to for me. Stealing these Genesis documents out of the Lexors’ archives could have gotten him sent to the gallows.
I smile a little, thinking of his heroic acts—all for me—as I delicately remove the few yellowing pages that I find inside the envelope and begin to read. The words are strange and oddly entrancing. They sound like certain sections of our Lex—the parts about our history, not the rules—and yet they are a doorway to a world that seems ancient and otherworldly.MoreLess
