City Of Desire (1)

Ed stepped out to the other side and looked round at grey rocks and grey grass. Even the sky stood grey and the blue hue of the two suns above it were, defeated by the blandness all around, as it's light reaches the ground already filtered grey. Everything looked grey, no matter what colour of garment one wore, it looked grey. Only Ed's robes remained ink black.

"Where are we?" Ed asked Nti Anem

"We meet again." Ku Nam said.

"Afiong plains?" Ed asked in answer.

"Those suns up there are but four moons spinning around each other at such speed, they look like two moons standing still." Ku Jian answered. She frowned at this cousin of hers that had just walked up.

"How do you know brother Ed?" she asked.

"We met a few times." Ku Nam answered, "Are you intending that we follow his lead?"
