Chapter 139: “Fire of the Architect”

Archer crafted lamps

to hang across the third deck.

She said, "These should work."

With help from Polly and Chiron

they built an infirmary.

Well placed fire arrows

set each lamp ablaze with light.

Polly said to her,

"What are those marks on your shield?"

Archer said, “It spells Indus.”

They sat together

listening to Aries skip

on the deck above.

Polly asked, “Who is Indus?”

Archer answered, “A great man.”
