Of all the places Alyse had visited during her travelling years, Shimmermist Falls was by far her favourite. She had often thought back to her time in the quaint town, with its simplistic lifestyle, and friendly people. If ever she stopped adventuring, she thought, that would be the place she chose to live. Something about the chatoyant glow of the waterfall drew her in. She would happily sit for days, her eyes captive to its shimmering beauty, living out her final years.

After weeks trekking across our dustbowl valley, we smelled it. A siren sigh of currents lured our dehydrated muscles the final yards to the river, #chatoyant beneath a smoke-hazed sun.

A guard's whistle halted us at the bank. "Can't drink that. Polluted."

"But we heard this was the last town with water." Words scrape my parched throat. "If the river's bad, where do you get it?"

A grin cracks his face like dried mud. "Siphoned from the aquifer down in the valley."

The old man was odd, but he was kind and served milk and cookies. So kids would sit on his porch and read comics.
— Mister, what does #chatoyant mean?
— Well, if you cut a crystal, sometimes it reflects a bright light on one side. If you have a kyrolax crystal, useful for time travel.
— Wow, howdya know? That’s what Capt. Rob Ryder is, a time traveler! He’s gonna rescue his girlfriend!
He grabbed the comic with tears in his eyes.
— Do I manage it this time? Please God, i hope so …

Asteroids were mined for the minerals needed to feed FTL engines. This one had been closed, a dud. But one of the miners had smuggled a stone out, an inch long chatoyant gem the likes of which Finn had only seen once before, in the heart of an astronavigation AI.

The scouts’ map was all Kane had left of his former companions, but its detailed drawings served him well; after two more days of travel, he reached the safety of Mistfall. The spray of the river bisecting the city shone with a chatoyant glimmer, and the smell of a thousand cookfires promised that one of them would warm him against the burgeoning snowstorm. Kane’s search would need to resume soon, but first he needed a few days’ rest.
