Heterozygosity increases microsatellite mutation rate, linking it to demographic history
Biochemical experiments in yeast suggest a possible mechanism that would cause heterozygous sites to mutate faster than equivalent homozygous sites. If such a process operates, it could undermine a key assumption at the core of population genetic theory, namely that mutation rate and population size are indpendent, because population expansion would increase heterozygosity that in turn would increase mutation rate. Here we test this hypothesis using both direct counting of microsatellite mutations in human pedigrees and an analysis of the relationship between microsatellite length and patterns of demographically-induced variation in heterozygosity.
We find that microsatellite alleles of any given length are more likely to mutate when their homologue is unusually different in length. Furthermore, microsatellite lengths in human populations do not vary randomly, but instead exhibit highly predictable trends with both distance from Africa, a surrogate measure of genome-wide heterozygosity, and modern population size. This predictability remains even after statistically controlling for non-independence due to shared ancestry among populations.
Our results reveal patterns that are unexpected under classical population genetic theory, where no mechanism exists capable of linking allele length to extrinsic variables such as geography or population size. However, the predictability of microsatellite length is consistent with heterozygote instability and suggest that this has an important impact on microsatellite evolution. Whether similar processes impact on single nucleotide polymorphisms remains unclear.
One of the most commonly encountered terms in classical population genetic theory is the compound quantity Neμ, where Ne is the effective population size and μis the mutation rate. By implication, these two terms are assumed to be independent, an assumption that has never seriously been challenged. However, it has been suggested that heterozygous sites might be more mutable than equivalent homozygous sites
Microsatellites are abundant, highly polymorphic DNA sequences that evolve mainly through the slippage-mediated gain and loss of single repeat units
Explaining trends in mean allele length across a large number of independent markers sampled from populations within a species is not easy. The most obvious possibility is natural selection, but this seems unlikely because of the vast number of markers involved. Not only is it unclear how slightly greater length at one particular (non-genic) microsatellite allele would impact on fitness, but also, even if there was an influence on fitness, the large number of segregating loci would mean that the differential fitness between individuals would likely be negligible. An alternative possibility might involve genes associated with DNA replication or mismatch repair. If such genes are polymorphic, carrying alleles that increase or decrease the genome-wide microsatellite mutation rate, a biased mutation process will tend to generate predictable differences in mean allele length. For example, among microsatellites showing an upward mutation bias, a population carrying a high mutation rate allele would, over time, carry longer microsatellites compared with a related population in which a slow mutation rate allele was common. Mutator alleles of this kind are known
A third possible mechanism with the potential to drive differences in microsatellite length between populations is based on the idea of heterozygote instability. In yeast, elegant molecular studies have shown that, when homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis, heterozygous sites are recognised and 'repaired' by gene conversion-like events
The heterozygote instability model is currently speculative, but in principle it could explain how maize microsatellite length could vary with altitude. For example, if the effective population size varies with altitude this would generate a gradient in heterozygosity which in turn would create a gradient in mutation rate. As with mutator alleles, in the presence of a directional mutation bias

Influence of genotype span on mutation rate
Influence of genotype span on mutation rate. Span is defined as the difference in allele length, measured in repeat units, of alleles in the parental genotype in which a mutation was identified. For each mutation, the expected span was calculated by averaging across all other alleles of that length in the dataset (open circles). Data from 203 observed mutations are presented as filled circles ± 1 standard error. For clarity, the graph is truncated to include only repeat numbers where three or more mutations were recorded, thereby excluding 12 of the original 215 mutations (span range 0 – 16). Considering all 215 mutations, mean span of mutated alleles is significantly greater than expected by chance (one sample t-test,
Predictability of microsatellite length across populations
To test the possible impact of heterozygote instability on microsatellites in real populations requires a series of populations that vary in their genome-wide heterozygosity due to clearly established differences in demographic history. Humans provide just such an opportunity because as we moved out of Africa to colonise the world, population bottleneck(s) eroded genetic variability
To test the HI hypothesis, we used general linear models (GLMs) to look for a correlation between human microsatellite length and distance from Africa (='distance'), using a large, published dataset of 783 microsatellites genotyped in the human diversity panel of 1048 individuals from 53 worldwide populations
One approach would be to fit all data together in a single GLM, with 'locus' fitted either as a random or fixed factor. However, a proportion of loci will inevitably behave aberrantly due variously to deletions or insertions in the flanking sequence, to large 'jump' mutations or to heterogeneity of slippage rate among alleles caused by interruption mutations. Even if such loci are rare, they could reduce greatly the fit of the model. In addition, the dataset includes di-, tri- and tetranuleotide repeats, adding additional heterogeneity. Consequently, we decided to fit separate GLMs for each marker in turn, using mean repeat number as the response variable and skew, size, distance, distance squared and all second order interactions as predictors. Each model was then simplified by backward stepwise elimination, aimed at minimising the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), to achieve the minimum adequate model (MAM). AIC is used for convenience when fitting large numbers of models, and we acknowledge that this is by no means a perfect measure and may somewhat inflate significance.
Across the 783 microsatellites examined, 757 (96.7%) explain significant amounts of variation in mean length across populations at α = 5%, and 578 models are significant after Bonferroni correction for the number of loci examined (α = 0.05/783 = 6.4 × 10-5). The MAMs explain an average of 54% of the null deviance. We then assessed the importance of each of our original predictor variables, refitting the models three times, excluding in turn size, skew and distance (plus distance squared, removed together). The significance of each of these three primary terms was tested by asking whether its exclusion significantly reduced the proportion of deviance explained compared with the equivalent full MAM where all three primary terms were fitted. Numbers of models achieving a given level of significance and explaining a given proportion of the null deviance are summarised in Figures

To what extent can variation in human microsatellite length be predicted by demographically induced variation in heterozygosity and allele length skew?. Separate general linear models were fitted to data from each of 783 microsatellites genotyped in 53 worldwide populations, with mean allele length as the response and distance to Africa, distance from Africa squared, skew in allele length and log(modern population size) plus all second order interactions as predictor variables. Distance from Africa is taken as the land-only distance from Addis Ababa in kilometres
Our results suggest a high degree of predictability of mean allele length across human populations. However, neighbouring populations will tend to share a common origin which, together with migration, could create an autocorrelation in allele length that might inflate statistical significance. To control for the possibility of phylogenetic non-independence, we used the method of comparative analysis through independent contrasts, CAIC
Having extracted independent contrasts for the four primary predictor variables, we then refitted all models and repeated the full analysis described above, summarised in Figure

Repeat of the analysis presented in Figure 2 above, but this time with full correction for possible phylogenetic non-independence using the method of independent contrasts
Finally, although partitioning the predictors of genome-wide heterozygosity into their components, distance from Africa and population size, allows the relative contribution of each to be estimated, as well as any interactions with each other or with skew, there is a clear prediction that average heterozygosity alone should be a strong predictor of relative microsatellite length. To test this prediction we fitted multiple regressions to each locus in turn, with the response variable being mean repeat number in each population and predictor variables being average heterozygosity across all loci and average heterozygosity squared. A total of 568 of 783 models are significant at P < 0.05, the 783 models on average explaining 21% of the total variation in mean repeat number.
Here we conduct two tests of the heterozygote instability model, first examining human microsatellite mutations identified in pedigrees and then looking for a correlation between mean allele length and each human population's distance from Africa. We find that any given length of allele is more likely to mutate when it has a dissimilar length homologue and that mean allele length is strongly predicted by both modern population size and a surrogate measure of genome-wide heterozygosity, distance from Africa.
The greater mutability of alleles with a large span appears to support the heterozygote instability hypothesis. However, this only holds if the only (or primary) other determinant of mutation rate is repeat number. Whether this is true is open to debate. Within a repeat type (di-, tri- or tetranucleotide), repeat number is certainly a good predictor of apparent mutation rate
A strong link between distance from Africa and microsatellite length is not expected under any of the standard neutral models of microsatellite evolution, but could conceivably arise without invoking HI in one of three ways. One possibility is natural selection, for example if longer alleles were favoured in warmer climates. A second possibility is ascertainment bias
The third model for how markers across the genome could show correlated patterns would be if mutation rate or mutation bias were to be under the control of a polymorphic gene. Whilst difficult to exclude, this seems unlikely on several grounds. First, as with the previous two hypotheses, the expectation would be for all loci to behave similarly, rather than in the diverse patterns actually seen. Second, this mechanism seems unlikely to interact either with modern population size or, specifically, with distance from Africa (as opposed to any other geographic trend). Finally, this explanation does not include any obvious way to generate global trends rather than a patchwork of local differences between one region and another.
One further model for how to link microsatellite mutation rate to population size has been suggested by Ellegren
In contrast to the expectations of natural selection, ascertainment bias, a control gene or neutral drift, heterozygote instability appears to offer a plausible explanation for the correlations we observe. Distance from Africa and modern population size are strong and weak predictors of genome-wide heterozygosity respectively. Under HI, both these factors should act to modulate microsatellite mutation rate. In the absence of any mutation bias, the resulting variation in mutation rate between populations would impact only on the variance in allele length. However, almost all studies of microsatellite mutations report varying levels of mutation bias
Under heterozygote instability, a key assumption of population genetic theory appears to be false, at least for microsatellites. Instead of population size interacting with a fixed mutation rate to determine an equilibrium heterozygosity, our analysis suggests that a feedback loop can operate causing heterozygosity to increase over time, each increase also increasing the mutation rate which in turn raises heterozygosity. Within this framework, changes in population size may act to modulate the rate of change of heterozygosity, with population expansion causing acceleration and population contraction causing a slowdown. For example, population decline erodes genetic variability through drift, reducing heterozygosity and hence potentially lowering the genome-wide mutation rate relative to a related population that has not declined. Such effects have previously gone unnoticed but this is perhaps expected because the resulting differences in mean length are slight and most species do not exhibit the strong, well-defined trend in heterozygosity seen in humans. None the less, we show that the effects of HI can be far from trivial, with highly predictable trends in mean length developing over time spans of the order of 1000 generations.
Although we conclude that, among the alternative models considered in the paper, HI offers the most parsimonious explanation for the patterns we describe, determining the size of the effect and the exact way HI interacts with the other forces shaping microsatellite evolution will require further modelling. However, it is already clear that many standard analyses will give misleading results, since, in humans, microsatellites in populations equidistant from Africa will be more similar in length than in similarly spaced populations where one lies much closer to Africa than the other. Also, although it is unclear whether HI impacts on single nucleotide polymorphisms as well as microsatellites, there are reasons for believing this may be so. Thus, the studies in yeast suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms are recognised while the chromosomes are in synapsis and attract 'repair' through gene conversion like events in which one strand is removed and resynthesised. Unless this process is perfect, DNA replication errors could plausibly cause new mutations to occur in the regions neighbouring the original SNP. However, without the directional evolution that affects microsatellites, formulating a convincing test is not easy. Finally, if HI is found to affect SNPs it might not simply be a quirk of evolution, but could even be adaptive. Specifically, HI would tend to attract mutations towards regions where polymorphism is already present, and hence tolerated or even beneficial, and away from monomorphic regions which will include those regions where selection has eliminated polymorphism. Consequently, it could be argued that HI would be beneficial and promoted by natural selection.
In conclusion, the hypothesis that heterozygote sites could be more mutable than equivalent homozygous sites predicts that the length of human microsatellites in diverse populations will correlate with distance from Africa, responding to a strong gradient in genome-wide heterozygosity that arose due to one or several population bottlenecks that occurred as modern humans colonised the world. We find that microsatellite length is indeed highly predictable, varying both with distance from Africa and modern population size, a second correlate of heterozygosity. Alternative explanations for this predictability such as ascertainment bias or natural selection fail to account for the impact of population size and tend to require all loci to exhibit similar trends, when in fact a diversity of trends is seen. Consequently, we believe that heterozygote instability provides the most convincing explanation for the patterns we observe. The existence of heterozygote instability would challenge a key assumption of classical population genetic theory, namely the independence of population size and mutation rate, and would require a reappraisal of how genetic diversity originates and is maintained.
Mutation analysis
Mutation analysis was conducted on 236 tetranucleotide repeat marker mutations identified and verified previously in 287,786 parent-offspring transmissions in a genome-wide screen for genes associated with hypertension
Mean expected span was calculated for each repeat number by averaging across all alleles of that size, across all loci and all possible genotypes, using allele frequencies derived from the full genome screen. We also explored the possibility of bias due to mutation ascertainment: when mutations create other parental alleles they sometimes fail to be revealed as deviations from Mendelian segregation. Generally, mutations are more likely to be detected in homozygotes, where alleles cannot mutate to their homologue's state, and in extreme alleles, where a preponderance of one-step mutations

Stephen Hendry has not won a title for three years but went some way towards confounding those who have been writing him off as a major force by beating Ryan Day 5-4 to reach the last eight of the Welsh Open at Newport.
"It was a good win, especially from 4-3 down," said Hendry. "I missed a few, including one of the easiest reds you'll see. When you're not 100% confident that's the kind of thing that plagues you but confidence comes from winning."
Day, who has risen to 11th in the provisional rankings, is the highest-placed Welshman. He made the five highest breaks - 78, 84, 54, 77 and 49 - to lead 4-3 but was frozen out in the two remaining frames as Hendry reached his first ranking quarter-final of the season.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has not lost to Steve Davis for 10 years and never looked as if he would yesterday but from 2-0 made a few mistakes before completing a 5-3 victory.
After Davis missed a none-too-difficult red which would have assured him of going level at 2-2, O'Sullivan concentrated much better, clearing up with 68 for 3-1.
At 4-1 the end looked nigh. But Davis, who at 50 still tries as if his life depends on it in the arena, even if he can no longer face the practice regime which sustained him in his years of greatness, closed to 4-3 before O'Sullivan secured victory with his run of 69 in the eighth.
"It's all good in the hood," said O'Sullivan cheerily. "I'm enjoying my snooker again. It feels like a hobby again and that's helping me."
Allister Carter, who has risen to 15th in the rankings without appearing in a final, eliminated the defending champion, Neil Robertson, 5-3 after leading 4-0.

Posted Sat 14 Nov 09 at 17:07 PM
Wanderers suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon as the home side marked the designated Help for Heroes game with a stylish win.
The Sky TV cameras were present at the Galpharm Stadium to see the Terriers take a 2-0 half-time lead through Peter Clarke's header and Gary Roberts' close range finish, and the Blues' misery deepened after the break with a further onslaught from Town.
Anthony Pilkington fired home from the edge of the area, Clarke bundled home his second, Michael Duberry netted an own goal and Theo Robinson converted a penalty amidst a whole host of chances to complete a day Wanderers fans will want to forget.
And it was a wretched day all round for those supporters who were held up in traffic on the M1 following an accident in the morning, forcing many fans to miss large parts of the match.
Gary Waddock made five changes to the side that drew 4-4 in the FA Cup last weekend, with Jamie Young, Chris Westwood, Luke Oliver, Matt Bloomfield and new arrival John Akinde all named in the starting line-up, while Scott Shearer, Matt Phillips, Jon-Paul Pittman, the suspended Craig Woodman and the injured Leon Johnson all missed out.
Huddersfield enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and the Blues needed a couple of vital interceptions from Lewis Hunt to keep the scores level, but the deadlock was broken in somewhat controversial circumstances on 21 minutes.
Gary Roberts and Anthony Pilkington made a mess of their short free-kick but referee Mr Oliver bizarrely allowed Roberts to take the kick again, and his curling effort was met by the head of Peter Clarke who powered a header past Jamie Young.
Wycombe were clearly rocked by the disappointment of conceding from yet another set piece and it could have been two when the Terriers broke forward following a Wycombe corner, but when Michael Collins rounded Jamie Young, the superb Kevin Betsy had raced back to slide in and clear Collins' effort off the line. Luke Oliver repeated the trick minutes later from Jordan Rhodes.
Jordan Rhodes then saw a header somehow kept out by the legs of Jamie Young on 26 minutes but the lead was doubled two minutes later when Wycombe failed to heed the warning of previous counter attacks and saw Gary Roberts end a fine flowing move.
Keeper Alex Smithies quickly threw the ball out to Michael Collins, who burst forward and played in Lee Novak before his square pass was easily tapped home by Roberts.
John Akinde had battled hard up front for the Blues but his second debut for the club was ended on just 38 minutes when he twisted his ankle in a challenge and was replaced by Jon-Paul Pittman.
Two minutes later, there was further controversy when Peter Clarke's header cannoned off the bar and bounced down onto the goal-line, with officials and players seemingly both confused by whether or not the ball had crossed the line.
The situation wasn't helped by Huddersfield's inexcusable decision to show the replays on the giant screen, but in the end, the referee had spotted a handball by Lee Novak and a free-kick was given.
Wycombe had a good chance to halve the scores just before the break when Scott Davies' corner was nodded down to Jon-Paul Pittman, whose elegant flick was superbly kept out by Smithies, but the half-time whistle sounded with the Terriers 2-0 up.
The second half began in the same vein as the first, with the Terriers on top, and Robbie Williams' free-kick after a foul on Pilkington wasn't far wide of the target.
It was Pilkington himself who bagged the third of the afternoon, when Jordan Rhodes' run through the defence went unchallenged, and his pass found Pilkington in acres of space on the edge of the box, although he didn't need much time or space to curl an effort past Young.
Michael Collins hit the post with a header ten minutes later when he should have scored and Young pulled off a fine flying save from substitute Theo Robinson, but after two successive corners, Peter Clarke bundled home to end a strong spell of pressure from the home side.
Kevin Betsy had a half-chance to reduce the arrears when his shot was saved by Smithies, but all the best chances came at the other end, with Theo Robinson missing a hatful of chances, firstly when he skewed wide from four yards and then rounding Jamie Young but being unable to beat Lewis Hunt with his effort.
Robinson then cheekily stole the ball from Jamie Young after lurking behind the Aussie keeper, but Young recovered in time to win the ball back, and saved a long range effort from the same striker moments later.
Four soon became six in a matter of moments when firstly Michael Duberry turned Gary Roberts' cross past his own keeper and then straight from the restart, Roberts stole the ball and broke into the box before being brought down bu Duberry, with Robinson netting the penalty.
Fortuntately, that was the end of the onslaught, leaving Gary Waddock to reflect on an "embarrassing" afternoon in charge of the Blues - click

harry campbell @ Your PF Pro writes Save Time and Money When Traveling Through Airports – Maybe I haven't traveled in a while but when did airports become such a rip-off?

Kevin @ Passiveincometoretire writes Why Real Estate is the Best Passive Earner – Real estate is one of those things that will continue to rise in prices as long as our population keeps on increasing. More people mean more requirements for space to live, which will naturally increase the prices of real estate for the foreseeable future.
Pauline @ Reach Financial Independence writes Why an early start makes all the difference – I started working early, saved hard and had time on my side. An early start can help you achieve a lot more than ignoring your finances for years.
Jon Haver @ Pay My Student Loans writes Investing made easy for Graduates – Investing money can be difficult for those who aren't experienced with the process and don't know who to turn to to get help. With the added stress of mortgages and taking out loans to pay for college, most people give in and go with the first investment company they come across without shopping around and seeing what other companies are offering. Most people run into problems because they don't invest enough, diversify their investments, or allocate investments properly for a specific sit

FMF @ Free Money Finance writes Confusion with Precious Metal Pricing – I noticed there are a TON of commercials for gold and silver investing. After a while I started keeping track of the advertisements, wondering what the difference would be from one company to the next. Service? Shipping? Something else? I thought that pricing would be the same. Boy, was I mistaken. I decided to do an experiment.

Sylvester Stallone recently spoke to Metro.co.uk promoting Escape Plan. The subject of Jason Statham's near fatal accident was brought up.
'We had a scene where a truck went out of control and Jason Statham went to the bottom of the river. 'If all the Expendables had been on that – we were supposed to be on it a minute later – it could have been fatal.'
He praised Statham's professional behavior after he managed to escape from the vehicle.
'The truck went to the bottom of the river taking the camera crew and the camera crane, we lost a million dollars of equipment in a moment and Jason was unbelievable because he's in heavy boots and swam to the top.
'He was cool. He cleaned off. A lot of people would have said, "I'm done. I'm just telling you how dangerous this is. This isn't a little going into a pond. This was off a 12 foot pier, five feet to the bottom."
Here is a new video of Arnold working out, looking good for 66!
Tons of new EX3 set photos!
New posters for the upcoming Grudge Match
Just a reminder that Escape Plan is now playing worldwide! Look for our review of it to be posted at some point today!

Forex Signals - EUR/USD Bullish Breakout
Outlook is a bit muddied at the moment as it always is when we have strong retracements in the middle of trends. The question is always is this part of a larger move to the upside or will we see the resumption of the downtrend soon. The only answer is the charts will tell us, and to that end I see 1.2765 as the key daily support level: above this level I will stay bullish and look for longs, below this level and I will look for shorts on the day.
As always CP users can check multiple pairs/timeframes for intraday candlestick signals and you should watch out for news events on the forex calendar.
Trading Idea: Looking for longs above 1.2765 and shorts below. Trend is a bit muddy right now so standing aside is a good option for this pair, but my primary active trade will be a long with confirmation near 1.2765 with long targets at 1.2790, 1.2820, 1.2850 and 1.2880 for 115 pips profit.

Victoria Defrancesco Soto: The assault on food stamps is misdirected. Aside from the fact that the overwhelming majority of recipients are families with children, the elderly, or disabled, the cuts won't fix our economy.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp program, provides support to low-income people in the United States by supplementing their income specifically to purchase food. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), though benefits are distributed by each U.S. state's Division of Social Services or Children and Family Services.
Fast-Food Strikers Fighting for Us All
RJ Eskow: In fact, if the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, it would be more than $16 today. These fast-food workers have pitched their wage request exactly right.
How Dare D.C Demand Fair Wages from Walmart!
Jim Hightower: This Mother Teresa of Global Retailing is now wailing that its generosity has been spurned by an impudent city council that says it's not interested in corporate pretensions of "charity," but in tangible fairness.
Cutting Food Stamps
Steve Hochstadt: Congressional Republicans say that reducing the national debt will save future generations from financial disaster. To do that, they are taking food off the table for today's children. What kind of morality is that?
Just Try Living on Food Stamps
Julie Driscoll: If it were up to Republicans, poor children would be eating thin gruel three times a day in the "please sir, may I have some more" tradition.
Constituents Tell Waxman: No Cuts to Food Stamps
Lauren Steiner: So while America is supposedly coming out of the recession, many Americans are not experiencing any relief. 50 million Americans live in food insecure homes, including 17 million children.
Who Will Be the GOP's New Gays?
Tina Dupuy: But as long as Republicans don't stand for anything other than freedom for corporations, they will need to find a group of people to be their boogeyman.
An Exploitation Tax Is Past Due
Charles D. Hayes: Many full-time employees of some of America's largest employers need government assistance, including food stamps. Guess who picks up the tab?
Now the Battle Over the Debt Ceiling
Robert Reich: The White House's and Democrats' single biggest failure in the cliff negotiations was not getting Republicans' agreement to raise the debt ceiling.
As New Jobs Return, Employers Slash Wages
Seymur Slavin: The startling fact is that low wage jobs now constitute 58% of all job growth. The jobs with the fastest growth were retail sales at a median wage of $10.97 per hour. At this salary, workers would be eligible for food stamps.
Blame Politicians for Homelessness and Hunger in America
Randy Shaw: While the media's highlighting "the unfortunate" during the holiday season raises vital private donations to help their needs, letting the politicians responsible off the hook perpetuates the crisis.
Taxpayers Should Stop Subsidizing Walmart
Tina Dupuy: Since Walmart, the largest private employer in the country, generally doesn't pay its "associates" or "Walmart family members" enough to live on – the giant multi-national corporation is relying on the U.S. government to feed its employees.
A Guide to Black Friday Walmart Strikes
Steven Mikulan: Walmart is ordering in armies of its underpaid employees to work on a night they have traditionally enjoyed as a holiday. But the only tradition this company respects is that of making money on the backs of its mistreated "associates."

Missing in ActionMature
I nodded to Artonus while the healer finished patching me up. We hadn't even started the lesson and I was already completely winded. My muscles were so sore from the constant abuse and the frequent healing that they could not adjust fast enough to the repairs. It made my whole body tense and stiff.
Artonus truly was an adept swordsman. Even when I tried to adjust to his combat style, he would discover a new way to throw me off. Aside from being painful, it was...inspiring to see him topple a mage without an overwhelming magic reserve.
I was excited to learn from Artonus, but also worried. How much more of this could I take? I managed pretty well with Grimlock as my mentor, which kept me a little less frightened about the whole ordeal. But I still didn't know Artonus well enough as a teacher to properly gauge my own endurance.
For all I know, he could be much worse than Grimlock.
"Stand up, boy!" Artonus called to me once the medic finished healing my back for about the twentieth time.
Groaning in pain, I struggled to lift myself off of the ground. My sword trembled in my hands, not from fear (at least, not most of it), but from the throbbing in my upper arms.
"Alright, boy. Now I want you to—"
"Excuse me! You three!" A woman shouted at us. A guild member, I assumed.
"Is this important? I'm trying to train this kid, and I need her here to heal him."
"Master Grimlock is assembling all of Supernova in the center bonfire. He wants the entire guild present."
Artonus laughed, most likely at Grimlock's new title of "Master." Had Grimlock been in proximity, he would have yelled at that mage in annoyance.
"Fine. Your training can wait. Seems like good ol' Grimlock has something more important to discuss. You know this place better than me, so I'll follow you to the central bonfire."
I responded solely with a nod, and Artonus, the medic, and I approached the bonfire. All of the guild members crammed on one side as a wooden platform stood across from us, towering over the blaze. Mages of every shape and size flocked to where Grimlock requested. Conversations of all kinds went on around me, and I had become so distracted by the massive crowd that Artonus could no longer be found.
He probably went off to see Grimlock, I thought to myself.
"Hello, mages of Supernova!" A gravelly roar hushed the crowd completely. Everyone stopped immediately and turned to the platform that rested behind the scorching flame. The roar was so familiar to me; I had heard it many times during my time as an apprentice.
Grimlock stood on the elevated platform with his daughter, Ceres, by his side. He must have been relieved that he was done training me because they could finally spend time together again. Just before he could announce retirement, however, he stood above us, taking the title of Guildmaster against his will.
I have to give Grimlock credit though. He sure knew how to keep an audience attentive.
Seeing Grimlock behind that vigorous flame reminded me of Master Juxon. Although, he never assembled the guild in this manner—or at all during my time there—but everyone could feel the intensity in the air. It was very much like when I met Master Juxon for the first time, and I could sense the magical aura that permeated his skin.
It pained me that someone so influential could die so quickly.
"I assume all of you know what has happened to Master Juxon. As a result, I have been elected as Supernova's newest Guildmaster. However, I did not gather you all here just to tell you that. I, for one, loathe my new title, but I shall wear it with honor."
"As for why I truly gathered you all here, my daughter and I have composed a list of all those killed or missing in action after our battle with Nightwing. Let us take this time now to honor our fallen comrades, and do our best in the future to prevent such a tragedy from befalling us again."
The breeze that once sailed through the air died down in an instant. Whimpers and depressed moans were dispersed within the crowd. Even the fire, the luminous inferno that brilliantly burned in our midst seemed to be tamed. Its once ferocious roar was reduced to a somber flicker.
But that was probably how all of Supernova felt.
Ceres handed Grimlock a few pages of paper. After a deep, melancholic breath, he began reading off the names. On and on, the list grew, and I could hear members sobbing within the group. Just how many did we lose?
Grimlock continued, until he hit a name that finally I recognized. And in that moment, my once lifted spirit, the revitalization that Supernova brought me was replaced with sorrow.
"Blue Alder."
A wave of emotions rippled through my head. I should have went with her, even if Grimlock told me to follow him. I could have prevented this. She did not have to die; she couldn't be dead. She was the only person that could make me smile whenever I saw them.
She was my anchor that kept me from spiraling into the next world.
I turned around. I could not handle my emotions. I ran, pushing people out of the way. They yelled angrily, but I did not care. I just kept running, faster and faster.
I knew where I wanted to be. I knew where I had to be. And no one would stop me from going there.
