"How are you alive?" Melayne's voice cut through the silence like a blade. She was still staring at Lucille, who stood there as though she hadn't been stabbed through the chest just minutes ago.
Lucille turned, complex emotions rushing through her eyes at once.
"That's... complicated," she said quietly.
"We've got time," Jax said, though his eyes kept darting to where the golem's remains lay scattered. "The next round isn't starting yet."
Lucille looked at each of them in turn, then sighed deeply. "This… isn't my first time on the Celestial Express."
Her admission caused the others to be a little taken aback.
"I've been here before. A long time ago. Longer than you can imagine." She sat down heavily on a piece of crystal rubble. "I made it to the Navigator then. Got to ask him for anything I wanted."
"The Navigator?" Roman asked softly in disbelief.
Lucille nodded.
