Summary
“I have your toll right here,” Edward motioned to the gate behind him — his gate. It had taken him a long time to figure out what he could use instead of a Philosopher’s Stone, but he figured this would be equivalent.
Truth hummed, unimpressed, and said: “No.”
Ed stopped, breath frozen in his chest. “What do you mean, no.” His mind vacillated between disbelief and anger. “Isn’t this what you’re all about, making deals? This is equivalent! A lifetime of-“
“Deals, hmm?” Truth interrupted, amused. “Let’s make a deal then.” He stared, about to argue that’s what he’d been trying to do. Truth continued, its smile deranged without any eyes to balance it. “A wager, perhaps.”

Summary
They could have had anything, he could have given them endless possibilities, had they sought Asha; but they didn’t. So he took their flesh and blood, gave them what they paid for but not what they wanted — souls, love, power — and thought them foolish.
The Seeker had long since passed into the Knowing, but Mithra longed to ask them where he wet wrong.

Summary
Ishval — May 13th 1908
He had run as fast as he could, as far as he could, until he reached the edge of the desert. He could still hear the screaming ricocheting through his head and the roar of the inferno in the distance.
There were no faces, he hadn’t gotten close enough for that — he wasn’t sure if that made it better or worse.

Summary
“Coran, what’s happening?” Lance didn’t like how Shiro's voice shook. Was something wrong with the wormhole?
“The integrity of the wormhole has been compromised,” Coran yelled. “We’re breaking down!”
Lance sucked in a breath, eyes wide. Compromised? Breaking down? “What does that mean?!” He asked into the comms.
“It means we have no control where we’re headed!”
Oh no. Oh no no no no no no no.
After narrowly escaping the Galra, a corrupted wormhole leaves Lance stranded on the other side of the galaxy. With no team, no lion, and no idea what to do, Lance must fight for survival and show the universe just who Lance McClain really is.Asterism (noun): a prominent pattern or group of stars, typically having a popular name but smaller than a constellation.
