High above the fractured mountain passes, three colossal sky bodies condensed from the swirling cloud banks to enforce the automated decrees of the Last City.
Juna watched the three sky bodies separate before spending her first daylight thread on the nearest relay.
The radiant apparitions hovered like weeping sentinels over the northern, eastern, and western roads, casting unnatural pale halos across the shadowed valleys.
Ferra stood beside her mobile workbench near the refugee wagons, tracking the separate frequencies across three calibrated copper dial gauges.
The needle on the primary dial fluttered with nervous energy, measuring the intense magical pressure radiating from the skyward anomalies.
She tightened the bronze grounding clamps to ensure that the violent feedback would not distort their diagnostic readings.
"The external signals remain completely distinct on the dials... so keep your internal focus limited to a single node!"
