Jerem looked up from the slowly disappating flames below to see Matherson coming to him with a deep frown.

“What is it?” Jerem asked, stepping away from the crowd gathered by the edge.

“I found something you need to see in the Captain’s office, sir.”

Jerem quickly called Gladstone, Hawkeye, and Elletra and followed Matherson below decks.

The room was cramped with a small desk littered with papers. What was more disturbing was the map on the wall. Silence fell heavy upon them as they stared at the strange map.

“Is that what I think it is?” Elletra asked, wringing her hands together.

“A map of the Otherside. Only, it looks like some parts of Tharass have been wiped off the map. Covered in black.” Matherson said, although it was pretty obvious.

“Blotted out of existence.” Gladstone sucked in a sharp breath.

“And I have a feeling how this might happen. Did you know the Earl owns a line of factories?” Hawkeye said between clenched jaws, holding up a map of Machina from the desk.
