The worst headache of Taako’s life was solved by drinking jellyfish piss. Literally. Not even slightly an exaggeration. The cannonball brought them to the moon and an even worse headache, to the point where Taako was practically seeing stars. Lots of faded memories of people staring at them all as they were led through—through what was like a campus but they were on a moon but it wasn’t a moon but—but—but— And then the jellyfish piss. It tasted terrible, Taako nearly doubled over, was certain he was about to vomit, but then he remembered. Remembered through the static of the words, how Killian had called the gauntlet the Phoenixfire Gauntlet, how she’d said she worked for an organization called the Bureau of Balance, working to keep powerful items—the seven Grand Relics—out of the hands of a world that had been made to forget. Taako blinked. Blinked again. He’d woken up in the cave that had hid the gauntlet. Lup had brought them there. “Fuck,” he said.
