The Fifth Vertex (The Sigilord Chronicles)
“The foreman sipped at his mug of blute, savoring every drop of the glowing red brew, a tea made from a naturally fluorescent algae that only grew in the puddles ringing his home town of Mog. The sweet-smelling steam drifted to his nose and filled his mind with images of home.

"What does that mean?" asked the foreman, finally looking up from his drink. He regretted it instantly, for now he could see the stacks of paperwork piling up on his desk, and the stacks of other matters piling up in front of the desk, and pretty much everywhere else in the command post.MoreLess
