The mountain shuddered under their feet.

"Well, that's it," said Huirn, staring at the now-empty sky.  "We're sunk."

"Not quite."  Tyces held up the Marking Pen.  "We still have this."

"You heard them; they've loosed the gods and broken the Lawstones.  They won't obey us anymore."

"They won't obey instructions," said Tyces, "but they still see the messages."  He unfolded a blanket from his backpack and scrawled something on it.  It rose gently up into the air.

"What did you do?"

Tyces tucked the Pen away.  "I commented it out.  As far as gravity is concerned, this blanket doesn't exist."
