I saw the grey plain again. There was one person standing in the centre of it, a blond-haired man dressed in leather armour. He pointed his finger at me.
“Michael belongs to me not you.”
“Michael belongs to himself,” I said.
The blond-haired man grew transparent before vanishing completely. Where he’d been standing, the grey dust of the plain was covered with flowers.
Everything went black for a moment after that, and then I heard a familiar voice speaking. “Are you awake yet?”
I opened my eyes to find I was lying on a medical table with two controlled medical droids looking down at me. I turned my head sideways, and saw the black-haired boy lying on the next table. He rolled on his side to face me and smiled.
I smiled back at him. Nathan was a Game Tech. Jex the Deathless was sleeping in her castle on Celestius with Hawk the Unvanquished at her side. I was back in the real world with Michael.
Message from Janet Edwards
Thank you for reading Reaper. This book is set in the Game Future, but I also have book series set in two very different future universes. The Portal Future where the invention of interstellar portals has allowed humanity to colonize hundreds of worlds scattered across distant star systems. The Hive Future where humanity lives in vast hive cities.
Please visit me online at my website to see the current full list of my books, including suggestions on the reading order. You can also make sure you don’t miss future books by signing up to get new release updates.
