Karma Girl tried to speak but just couldn't articulate, her breath was choppy and Ed with her dangling elbow in his hands could imagine clearly why. He put a piece of wood between Karmagirl teeth, count to three in her ear and with a whack, put her shoulder back. Karmagirl did a weird sound and closed her eye. Her breath start to become smoother, her head fell slowly, Ed sat on the crouch with her head on his thighs, he start to caress her blond hair while watching her sleeping. Now he could think, Sir Peter Maxwell's hit men wouldn't come back soon. He felt like being in the eye of the hurricane and he liked that...
Gem City used to be a very peaceful place, people were coming from far away to live there. The city has been set up from nothing by Draginol, following his vision to rule on an arena where people would suffer no limit to their freedom of speech. He worked hard to build the heaven of Gem City And for years, he succeed. A lot of philosophers came from all over the world and so the legend started, talker and listener were arguing without limits of any kind. The following prosperity started to attract a different type of immigrants. But, soon or later, the newly Lord Draginol would notice them and send them to exile without any way to ever come back.
Gem city was a sea city far north and the climate was temperate. With the passing decades, he could watch the city becoming larger, philosophers were talking and talking, the city become a big and influent shire, the lord crowned himself a king. Gem City was his precious jewel and his glitter blinded him so he didn't notice the danger coming from the rise of the temperature. He didn't realise the problem before the first attack of the Scandinavian penguin.
