When the Gem awakens to call a Hero, the world is ill prepared...and its fate is placed in the hands of a 17 year old boy, named Wendell. 

Some will say this is nothing but a tale of fiction.
Let them think as they may. 

After all...I can't fix stupid.

Previously: Wendell reunites with Chuck, Lili, and a badly weakened Dax at Morty’s ruined warehouse. Father Noah tracks them there and takes the whole group prisoner at gunpoint.

Chapter 102

When one door closes, another always opens for you to walk through.

The Centurions made no pretense of honor or kindness.

Each of the prisoners was struck multiple times, including Lili. Twice the guards turned to put a bullet in Dax’s head while Chuck and Vin struggled to carry him. In the end, I requested my hands bound in front of me so I could carry my prone friend myself.
