《The Inhabitants》Chapter 4. New Ability
Advertisement
The death of his people did not make Lando stuck in the sadness for too long. He could quickly turn his emotions to something else. This attitude has been trained since Lando was a child. In fact, if Lando drowned easily by the grief, he might have been depressed by the severity of his childhood life. Lando also doesn't get emotional easily. He always put rationality over emotion. After all, when he was a child Lando was almost killed by the locals for retaliating after being stoned. So for his revenge, Lando felt the need to prepare a few things in advance.
Before embarking on his revenge plan, Lando checks out his new abilities. His wounds were completely healed, in fact there were no scars at all. Fortunately Lando is not completely blind about his current body condition. Lando got the new knowledge of the new ability in his head instinctively.
Lando is able to make any kind of wound heal very quickly. In fact, Lando can even replant severed limbs although it takes time. Lando felt his healing abilities were a bit similar to the state when a person was still in the womb. Of course, Lando felt the similarity only based on knowledge he received in the process of merging his soul and four spirits.
Lando's healing abilities operate automatically, but could made it stop healing. Lando could maintain the non-healing state only when he was conscious and would revert back to the automatic state when he loses consciousness or falls asleep. Strange thought appeared in Lando's mind, he tried to stop his heartbeat!
'This..'
Lando was very surprised. He found he was alive without a heartbeat. But it didn't last long, only a few seconds until Lando was unconscious and his heart started beating again.
Lando feels he can fully control his body including organs and pores. Lando also feels his new abilities can be developed further. Unfortunately, Lando didn't know how to do so. Lando assumed that he had to increase his understanding of his new ability first in order to figure out how to develop it, at least he should get used to it.

Lando put away the conjectures in his mind for now. Lando didn't have time to think about this any further, he didn't have any further clues anyway. Lando began to analyze the situation of Willburg residence. There are more than 20 guards who are always active and half of them armed with guns. Fortunately, Lando was very familiar about the hidden paths of Wilburg residence, thanks to Mrs. Willburg's guidance. Even so, Lando felt the need to be careful.
Next was about Anderson, Lando understood that Anderson is always sleeping with his wife in the master room. Lando had only been to that room a few times, the job that Elisa ordered usually took place in another room. Lando only came to the main room when Elisa ordered him to carry goods or move something outside, however Lando always looked at the room very carefully, there were something that caught his attention.
Anderson himself is an unpredictable variable because when Lando worked Anderson was far away. Lando didn't know if Anderson had a gun on his hand or not. If that was the case, then it would be very dangerous to meet face to face.
Lando clears his mind as he prepares to leave the orphanage. Lando felt that the orphanage would not be the same without Johanes. Although all of the current caretakers of the orphanage are Johanes' confidants and nothing has changed so far, Lando sure of this situation will not last long, considering that people outside often looked the orphanage as a business opportunity.
Moreover, the only elite who had same standing as colonists in the orphanage was only Johanes. Locals and the mixed like Lando wouldn't be considered even if they wanted to take the lead. Donors will definitely send their people to replace Johanes.
Lando left the orphanage quietly. He didn't want to worry the children and other caretakers. He also didn't want to get them into trouble in case his plan goes wrong. Lando decides to leave the orphanage first before taking revenge in the future.
Lando walked towards a mountain on south of the village. There was an abandoned mine on the way. The mine was abandoned due to several mysterious deaths on it. Lando had a feeling that there was something that could be of useful to him inside.

Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).
