EventAcross the pillars
A Glint in the Riverbed
One of the men crouches at the streambed at dusk, washing gravel through his pan the way the old hands taught him, and comes up cursing and laughing at once: a single bright grain of Target Material caught in the silt. Upstream, then, there is more of it. Whether it is the treasure the whole march has chased across a continent or a seam of worthless glitter fit only to gull greedy men, none can say tonight, and none much wishes to ask.
