NINE TIME MACHINES: Do you want to undo your entire life on planet earth?

CHAPTER 107

"I forbid it!" said Xaxu. "Fantum's unfit."

"Not as unfit as my failure."

"You haven't failed. What are you talking about?"

"I came forth to create harmony."

"True."

"Yet evil doesn't dance well with the good."

"Where are you going with this?"

"Just let me do what I was brought forth to do."

"Kat. I won't let Fantum become the black wand. Period!"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Not like I'm in the room or anything."

"Who says I'll make it easy for her?"

"Tell us," said Xaxu. "Not that it will help any but still, tell us."

"Everything's already set in stone."

"How so?" Qira said.

"I've already created the thirty-three Karmic Islands and selected people to snatch."

"And what of this girl? Is she in there? Does she even know what's going on?"

"I dropped the veil on her world," Kat replied. "She knows what I allow her to know."

"Still," said Qira, "twenty-seven mirrored years is a long time for them to sleep."

"That won't be a problem for her. She's a rhesus null; the Zuka blood type. A sacred one."

"You found one of the children? You found one and said nothing? All this time?"

"And now we finally know why she dropped the veil," Fantum said. "She's been keeping secrets again."

"Fantum," Xaxu scolded. "Let her answer. I want to hear about the girl with the ancient blood."

"Yes, I found one. And in case you're wondering, she made the call."
