The Elder looked into their minds and it was Clarona that came to him first and spoke to him by name “ my dear Ramon we have never spoken to you since we departed before you were created but we know of you for you are wise and we feel this in you but we must hasten to tell you what we know.” She continued “When we left we were not alone for two others left unnoticed by the collective but we saw them” Aleciamora now took up the story “These two are unknown to you but we know them well for they are Broga and Egesa they were the ones who were destined to guard the Existence but they were turned by their own insatiability they did not want to maintain the Existence together each was as egotistical as the other. Each of them thought it was their right and could and would not agree to combine their wisdom for the Existence they were cast out by your predecessor into different dimensions to remain there in exile. They are not content and are finding ways to destabilise the Existence so that they will ultimately meet and destroy one or the other. These are the troubles we have been preparing for”
Ramon finally spoke to them “you are correct these two I do not know but have felt them and their disturbance which concerns me deeply and we will greatly rely on the knowledge that you have gained since leaving us and we shall speak again for we do not wish to harm your hosts for they are young and not yet strong enough to continue the conversation that we must have, therefore we must let them rest and recover but soon we must speak in detail”. Then Ramon released Alecia and Clara who collapsed onto the bed with their mother. “What have you done exclaimed Alec” They are fine said Ramon but they need time to recover they sleep for now. “Sue we must speak” and both Ramon and Sue disappeared.
This is going to be another bloody mess thought Alec and will probably cost us all dearly but his thoughts were interrupted by Claire who was now awake. “I know you doubt them but we have little choice in this matter”. Alec turned and looked at Claire “you know what’s going on don’t you why is it me that’s always in the dark, always the last to know?” Claire took hold of Alec’s hand “don’t forget what has happened over the years I feel as though I have a connection with them I don’t understand them but can at times be part of them”. Alec looked at Claire and said why does that worry me? Both Clara and Alecia were now awake “What’s going on?” How do you feel asked Claire are you two okay?” Yeah fine but tired I had the strangest thoughts” said Alecia “me too” remarked Clara “there seemed to be someone talking within me almost like a dream” Alecia nodded her agreement “and it seemed to be very important but I couldn’t tell who they were or what it was about” . The storm continued to rattle around them with no sign of diminishing in fact it seemed as though it was getting stronger and the wind was beginning to rise at an alarming level now hurling the rain against the windows the power had gone long ago and the only illumination they had at that present moment was the increasing lightning flashes which were alternating in colour from a brilliant white to a deep purple that none of them had ever seen before.
They all sat huddled around Claire listening to the storm as it raged around them and each clap of thunder seemed to shake their home down to its foundations. What is to happen now remarked Alec, the words had hardly left his mouth as Sue appeared. “It as we feared there is a destabilising within the dimensions and gatherers have been dispatched to seal any breaches particularly where the exiled ones are and we hope that we are not too late” Alec looked at Sue “and if you are?” Sue returned Alec’s look “then the result could be cataclysmic for us all”
