Chandra stormed out of Jace's house, looking for a place where she could think. It was hard, especially on a plane like Ravnica. Every corner was something new, but she wasn't in the mood for an adventure. Finally she came across an overlook of a plaza square. She leaned against the railing watching the people walk around.

"The last time I snuck up on you, you were upset." Liliana spoke up behind Chandra, "So don't be alarmed."

"I just need a minute." Chandra turned around, "The rest of them aren't coming are they?"

"I don't believe so. They thought it was best just to let you.. Have some time to yourself." Liliana walked to the overlook, leaning over with Chandra. It was an angle of Liliana that Chandra had never seen. It was weird seeing the glamourous Liliana act casual. "But I thought you might want someone to talk to, especially since it seemed personal."

"Was it that obvious?" Chandra frowned.

Liliana laughed, "To me it was. Nissa is too busy bringing a plant back to life, Jace is too busy playing chess with himself… and Gideon is too concerned with being polite." They both laughed. Of course, Chandra was glad just to distract herself before she started crying. "You can tell me if you'd like." She pried.

"Well… I just know there's been stuff happening on Kaladesh that no one knows about. I grew up there and-" It clicked together for Liliana, planeswalkers always had some kind of vendetta against where they sparked. But in her experience, they always looked the other way. "And you know. I hurt a lot of people when I sparked."

"They could have forgotten all about you by now. Plus you look different."

Chandra blushed, "Well, my family was kind of renowned there."

"Am I speaking to some kind of member of Kaladesh parliament?"

Chandra scoffed, "No. They were criminals. But it was for a good cause."

"For a good cause." Lilliana said slowly. She sighed, "I guess I really don't have a track record of knowing the difference between the moral high ground or low ground."

"You are a necromancer after all."

Liliana sighed, "I'm not evil because of what magic I have, I'm seen as evil because of what I do, and because people don't care to understand everything I do." She smirked, "but most people aren't smart enough for that."

They stood in the silence. Liliana looked at Chandra, "Why don't you go to Kaladesh. You're part of the Gatewatch… but you aren't one to let some book gremlin tell you what to do."

"I suppose you're right." The tone in Chandra's voice made it obvious that she was being swayed without too much resistance.

To Liliana this meant she wasn't making her do it exactly… but that she was just telling her what she wanted to hear, "You should go. You should see your home and figure out if anything is actually the matter."

"Will you go with me?"

It was a sincere question that caught Liliana off guard. She always liked Chandra, but she didn't realize anyone actually would trust her that quickly. 'Not everyone is Jace I suppose' she thought to herself, 'though I do deserve Jace's mistrust'. "Yes." Liliana agreed, "Anything to get away from the rule books in Jace's house."

Chandra gave her a quick nod.

Gideon looked at the door a few minutes after Liliana left, "Do you think they've been gone for a long time?"

Jace opened a scroll looking through all the things he needed to do that day. "Not that I've noticed. Not that I am by any means an expert in either Liliana or Chandra."

"Should we continue without them?" Gideon looked over at the vacant side of the table.

Both of them looked at Nissa - who since Liliana left was less on edge, "I'll go see if I can find them. Who knows what's happened with Chandra."

"Hopefully nothing is on fire." Jace said under his breath. He wasn't aware how callous the remark was, especially because it was very true.

"She can do that." Gideon said with wide eyes, remembering being on the receiving end of Chandra's emotions the same way the rest of them remembered Emrakul, "I'll go look for her. I'm afraid I may have hurt her feelings-" Gideon stood up from the table and went to the door.

Nissa and Jace sat in the silence of being alone, both happier because of it.

Gideon rounded out from Jace's house and first tried to find if anything was noticeably on fire. Thankfully there were no plumes of black smoke, so the worst case scenario wasn't actualizing. He turned down the meandering streets, trying to make sense of everything before he got lost. Finally there was a bend and he could see Chandra standing with Liliana talking. They remarked back and forth until they took each others hands, and vanished from Ravnica.

Maybe the worst case scenario wasn't a fire.

Liliana and Chandra stood in a side street of a strange new place, that Chandra only knew in nightmares. Her skin prickled at the thought of everything that could be waiting for her here, every ghost and terrible memory, never for a moment considering that there could be actual danger. But instead of staying in the bad memory, she was too busy being curious. The sun was the same, the smells were even better, and a part of her finally felt soothed.

Liliana's first impression, was that Kaladesh was considerably hotter than Innistrad- to her dismay. "So this is Kaladesh?"

"No." Chandra looked over at her travel partner, "This is an alleyway on Kaladesh." They both walked to the entrance of the street as Chandra chuckled, "Don't be so dead serious." She threw a light elbow into Liliana's shoulder trying to be funny.

Liliana looked over with a pitiful smile, "Please no Zombie jokes."

"Sore subject?"

She scoffed, "Not in the slightest, I've just heard them all."

"Well I'll keep that in mind." Chandra walked out onto the regular sidewalk, and took a look at the plane she'd missed. There were red banners draped across every building to celebrate the inventors fair. Vendors pushing carts with small thopters in the shape of different animals. In the sky, airships were flying over and cruisers zoomed by driven by a reckless aetherborn. Both of them weren't even sure where to look first.

While Chandra was trying to soak everything in, Liliana was trying to make sense of everything. It was all fast, and loud, decadently beautiful, but loud. "This explains a lot about you."

"What is that supposed to mean." Chandra started walking in the direction of a food cart.

"This place is so hectic, and fast. I'm amazed how it can all stay together."

"Are you saying you expect me to have a mental break down and light everything at fire at every moment."

Liliana weighed her response, then chose the most honest out of anything that she could think up, "Well, Yes."

"You're probably right." Chandra chuckled, "We can't get too comfortable though, we need to find the inventors fair, maybe some of the people I knew when I was a kid were still around."

"Are you… wanted?"

"Like criminally?" Chandra asked over her shoulder, walking backwards, "Probably-" She tripped over some hunk of metal, falling backwards. The ventilation pipe on her shoulder made a loud clank as well as the artifact creature under her legs. It was a small fox made out of intricate metal. Its eyes were bright blue shining with Aether, the source of Mana that kept Kaladesh powerful and regulated. "Look at you."

Liliana dropped down to investigate the creature, "How strange. It's quite adorable."

"Most things here are. I mean, I was raised here." Chandra flipped her hair off her shoulder, extra dramatically.

"Don't flatter yourself too much dear." Liliana stood up. "So where are we off too?" She gestured to the banner as a joke. Every inch of what they could see was covered in advertisement for the inventor's fair, "I think there must be some sort of affair going on."

"Yeah, it should be near the city center." Chandra stood up, brushing herself off. She looked down at the creature as it started to skitter away.

Very quickly Liliana noticed that the streets of Kaladesh were like meandering paths that matched the engraving on almost every object she could see. The most basic of objects were covered in scrolls, and detail that made it difficult to see where one thing ended and the other began. Every once and awhile a vehicle would zoom by with a rowdy group on them. "So where did you live while you were here?"

"Oh we lived in some of the underground hangouts for people who are trying to.. Meddle with the Aether rations."

"What does that even mean?"

"Kaladesh has an insane amount of Aether. But you wouldn't know by looking at it's people. That's what the inventors fair is for. The people bring their inventions and see if it's worthy of the consulate to allow them to run. If your invention doesn't win- the thing you've spent all your money, all your work trying to create - you're destitute."

"And that's what your parents were fighting against?"

"Yes." Chandra nodded slowly, "And that's how I got them both killed."
