			===[[Zenith]]===
			This trip was a good reminder that sometimes I should just listen to my instincts instead of trying to be what I think the situation needs. If I had grabbed Sparkles when I found him, beaten him to an inch of his life and gotten my answers, maybe I'd know where she is. Instead, I got a book, a hole in my side, and more questions that I need answers to. I've now saved two people who don't like me, and I doubt my stunt at the end there actually made things better, but at least I didn't do what I meant to do and just killed them in cold blood. Don't know if I could look her in the eyes after that.

			Am I coming up to the end of things? Or is this just a longer journey? Mara has her own issues, but she got in and out clean. Seems like she's gonna have to make that choice that all tourists have to make eventually sooner rather than later. Living in the light and living in the shadows can't work. I may be one of the few experts in that subject. I was only ever playing at being anything other than a runner. But once this is done... what do I do then...?

	I had been looking forward to a visit home for a while. Unfortunately this was a little more stressful than I might have wanted. I would have liked a year - more even - to examine the book, but it was not to be. And then Zenith... Poor troubled man, unable to even take his own advice. I would be more mad, I have been and should be, if it weren't so pitiful at the same time. In the end, I do hope he finds her, but I would be surprised if he does so before he gets himself killed.

			Frustrated by the fact that Rian escaped and that his leads once again lead dry, Zenith decides to do something foolish to make himself feel better. Tired of the haughtiness of Tir nobles and the way they look upon humans, he decides to steal one of the most valuable things in the Flannigan's library: ''The Rights and Rituals of Challenge.''

			Using his knowledge of the secret passages around the manor, Zenith sneaks into the library and waits until most of the occupants and staff are asleep, leaving only the Spirit of Man that he had seen the last time he had viewed the library. Explaining to the spirit that his desire is to spread the knowledge of the book rather than simply holding it in secret. The Spirit agrees not to stop him, and Zenith proceeds to use his abilities of the Invisible Way to not trigger the contact prep that covered the glass on the book and replacing the book with a copy of 'Sperethiel for Dummies' that he had been studying from.

			Passing through the alarm ward that covered the area around the book, he sprinted through the secret passages, pursued by a Guardian Spirit and confronted by it on the same stairs where he had previously fought the Paladin. The runner shoots the spirit, and while it doesn't have a lot of effect, it does allow him to run past it and stop it's pursuit as he jumps out of the window and scales down the tower for a second time in 48 hours, getting back to Ulster and meeting with the Ancients that are smuggling him out of the country.

Prologue - Zenith

	==Prologue - Zenith==		==Prologue - Zenith==
			Having spent the last month in Essen due to the deal that he made with [[Amrei Veidt]] during [[A Nest of Vipers]], Zenith is struggling with not taking regular work, and having to protect his daughter from Saeder-Krupp while in the center of their power. While not watching out for Harriot and exploring the new Metroplex he finds himself in, he spends time in a small shadow bar, mostly populated by people who don't register on S-K's radar. Working with the bartender, he has taken a few smaller jobs within the Metroplex under the alias "Sherriff".

			Spending his evening at the bar, Zenith is approached by Amrei, in disguise and knowing that if they are overheard his reputation will be shot, Zenith leads her to one of the quiet booths in the corner. Amrei asks what he has been doing and Zenith dodges the question, explaining that he doesn't like the city because he doesn't like being in any place that he can't break out of. Explaining that Seattle is ideal because due to the nature of intercorporate politics that surround the city, he can live in the blindspots, but S-K has a stranglehold over Essen and know everything that goes in and out of it.

			The S-K Prime agent tells Zenith a proverb about a poor man who tries to feed his family by stealing gold from the king's castle, but the king's guards come and find the man, kill his family and leave him to live out the rest of his life penniless, angry and sad. The shadowrunner knows a threat when he hears one and explains that he understands that making a move against S-K while he's here will result in his death, and while his child is involved with them, he won't do anything foolish.

			After Amrei leaves Zenith gets another drink and is approached by a woman he doesn't recognize. When she sits down across from him, he assenses her, and finds that it is his mother, the assassin and shadowrunner Stiletto. She castigates him for his association with S-K, and explains that she's there because she's worried about him and her granddaughter. Zenith explains that he's fine, though he had told Harriot about his wetwork over the last twenty years and Stiletto stikes him upside the head for the stupid decision he made. The two of them talk about what had happened, Zenith explaining what happened during the events of [[Casino Royale]] and finally asks if his mother got her deltaware from Black Star, rather than one of the corps. She confirms that, and asks him to be careful before she leaves the S-K metroplex.

			Later on, Zenith is sitting on the roof of the apartment complex that he, Harriot and [[Shine]] are staying in, when his daughter comes up and disables one of the cameras that watch them. She asks why he kills, and why he told her about it, and why he doesn't just give it up or work for a corporation or something. Zenith explains that he kills because he's very good at it, and that if he doesn't do it, a simple assassination can turn into a massacre. He wanted to be honest with her, and not give her the illusion that what he did was redeemable. He was afraid that if she found out about it from somewhere else that he wouldn't have any chance of still being in her life. While she doesn't forgive him for everything, it's clear that she still cares about him, and that gives the jaded runner some comfort as he gets the message from Mara that it's time to go to work.
