On their way, though, Misty starts feeling sick. The remaining friends decide to flee the village. Whatever was in those darts is poisonous, and it's spreading. Then he-gulp-whacks his head on the wall until he dies. He's screaming about something hurting in his head. Oh, and Darnell is locked up in a cage going nutso. But when they trek back to the settlement, they find people dead everywhere. Alec and Mark break down some doors and generally cause mayhem, and pretty soon the Berg crashes.ĭon't worry: Alec and Mark are fine. Mark follows suit with another grappling hook, and pretty soon the two are walking around in the Berg trying to figure out what's going on. Phew.Īmid the shooting, Alec takes out a grappling hook (from who knows where) and shoots it onto the Berg. People drop like flies (including Darnell), but Alec, Mark, Trina, Lana, Misty, and the Toad escape. It's super-rare for a Berg to show up, and the people who come out of the Berg shoot up the village with darts. The conflict begins when a Berg shows up at the settlement-that's right, a Berg (a giant airship that WICKED uses back in Book Two and Book Three of the series-it's basically a plane, but with more rooms). They're all survivors of the sun-flares, and they're living together in a village somewhere. There's Mark, Trina, Alec, Lana, Misty, the Toad, and Darnell. So we have a bunch of new characters to get to know. Right from the beginning, we're told that the story takes place thirteen years earlier than the Maze. Let's take a step back: before Thomas, there was Mark.
