We all reappear in the white room at a round table. A Copper woman wearing a broad yellow hat and matching tailored suit sits facing the entrance. I can barely see her black onyx eyes through their slits but they dig into our souls regardless.
"Sit," she orders with a shrill tone. "We have lots to discuss."
The five of us shuffle into the large black leather chairs quite noisily, and take accusing glances at each other to see who will come out the loser. Once we're all settled, I study them closer and notice they all look the same. Dark grey skin, light grey freckles that change form in step with their breathing, light grey eyes, micro twists like mine and thin glossy lips.
"I am Fejj!" she offers. "The five of you have been chosen."
"Chosen for what?" I interject, as always.
"For what's coming next!"
"Well, I've definitely heard that before!" I finally snap. "Everyone seems to be speaking in riddles but nobody's really telling us what the hell is going on."
"Let's get a few things straight right now!" Fejj says. "If our words seem like riddles, that's because everything you were taught is a lie. And it'll be my job to fix. That said, I won't stand for any disrespect. I'm not the yellow wand for nothing, you know."
"Look! I didn't ask to be here. Just talk like normal people, and answer my damn questions so I won't have to explode."
"You want explosion?" Fejj says enraged now. "I'll give you explosion."
