Guardian Harvard Chronicles – Travis Dean

“Spread out ’cross the prison planets, I’d say. Not seen ’nother dwarf since we arrived. Lucky we were ta be kept together like this.” “We saw another dwarf,” Kalia revealed, “in the marketplace.” Branik perked up a touch at the news. “Ah, yeah,” I recalled. “The chubby one. Long red hair and beard. Was purchasing the largest flagon of alcohol I think I’ve ever seen. Was almost as big as him.”

Branik chuffed and nodded, a smile breaking out. “Doesn’t ring a bell, but that be great dwarven action right there. Might be we should meet them before long.” That sounded pretty messy. While Branik’s mind was on this other dwarf, Domal spoke up, his voice softer. “How ’bout yerselves? Why are ya here?” “Politics,” Kalia revealed, giving me a little extra time to think.

“After the conglomerate took over my planet.” The dwarves all nodded in understanding. I’d only met a few of the conglomerate so far, if the velusum counted, and then there was the red- horned woman here and the cloaked guards we’d seen on the islands and at the market. Were they a part, too? “And you, Noah?” Domal continued, fidgeting in place. Ah, to hell with it. “I’m not supposed to be here,” I revealed. “Wrong place, wrong time.” Branik perked up at that.

The dwarf grinned and nudged his brother in the ribs. “Ah-ha. He be innocent.” He air quoted, and I shook my head and shrugged as both brothers laughed, Domal finally relaxing. “Believe what you will.” Branik continued to laugh, having to hold his side at one point, but the questions stopped, so I left it there, choosing instead to take a drink from my canteen.

If that was all I had to reveal, that was fine with me. They clearly didn’t believe me, but that sounded like a them problem. “Shall we work out a watch schedule then?” I asked. We’d finished eating, and all of us needed rest before we tried to finish off this latest zone tomorrow. “I be needing sleep,” Branik declared, his words a little slurred from the potent alcohol he’d thrown back since we’d settled here. “I’m happy to take the first one,” I admitted. “Domal, you want to join me?”

The younger brother nodded. “Sure, Noah. I be happy to.” “OK.

Fumbling around in the twisted bed sheets, I sent my phone crashing to the bedroom floor, somehow managing to find the only section not currently covered in discarded clothes or half-filled moving boxes. Groaning in frustration, I threw back the sheets, leaned over, and picked it up from the wooden floor, the knuckles on my right hand tender and sore as I clenched my fist around it.

Squinting at the screen, 3:00 pm glared back at me as I silenced the alarm with a sigh. Already? It felt like I’d only just closed my eyes. Last night had been the latest finish yet since starting my new job, and by the time I’d gotten back home from the bar and wound down, the sun was already coming up.

I was due back in at five, so I’d left it as long as I could before getting up and still being able to make it there in time for my shift. It still didn’t feel long enough. I ran my hands over my eyes a couple of times, wiping away all thoughts of further sleep.
