Sue, Aleciamora and Clarona were desperate to locate Egesa they had to find him but his disappearance mystified them.  They had gathered together to discuss what had happened. Sue consulted with the old ones "how could he disappear from us and leave no trace?"  Aleciamora was as amazed as Sue was "these are the powers he now possesses and we do not know how to trace him he could be anywhere" Sue looked at the old ones in disbelief surely there must be someway to find him she thought.clearly he must be found.  Clarona was deep in thought "he is pursuing his revenge that there is no doubt she said but where.

Sue quickly turned to them both and said follow me I know where he is and we must be quick.  Sue had become aware of the struggle her old friends were having and could feel the pain and suffering of Claire and her family.  She explained her feelings to the old ones but also stated that there was something else at work something that she had never felt before.  Aleciamora and Clarone joined with Sue to try to understand what she meant.  It was Aleciamora that spoke when their minds finally separated the feeling that i have from this is one that I have never experienced before but have only heard of looking at Clarona who nodded her agreement but will see if I am right shortly.  What is it asked Sue "it is but a legend and has to seen for it is folk lore to us well beyond our years of existence" said Clarona.  Then you must tell me before we get there for whatever it may be it is calling to me by name.

Aleciamora and Clarona looked at each other in amazement and then began to explain the legend.  It was said long before even our time when the need was great there would be one who would answer the call.  The one who would answer the call would be inconspicuous and would possess none of our powers but would prevail for the powers of the lost gatherers would be upon that person and would be wielded wisely for te good of all.  That person would be solid in character and protective to those around him.  It is only but a legend but we feel that is what is happening at this moment the one has come forward and is calling for aid.  Sue looked at them both "it is Alec that calls to me"  Then we must hurry to his aid for he is but human and does not understand our ways answered Clarona.  He knows more than you think thought Sue .

They came upon the struggle between Alec and Egesa and watched with amazement as the battle between them took place it was looking as if it were a stalemate between them no one gaining the upper hand.  This is where you are needed Sue remarked the old ones you must join with him.  He would never let me for his dislike of me has always been paramount.  He will accept you this time for the sake of his family if nothing else they are his world and nothing else matters to him go to him now for he needs you and the power that you have that is needed.

Sue did as she was told she appeared quickly to him which caught Egesa off guard.  Alec looked at Sue and a hatred was upon him as in his eyes she was the one who had caused all of the problems in his life.  You need me explained Sue for the sake of the ones you love so dearest in your heart and soul. This struck at Alec his family was his world and he could not bear to see them suffer as they did now reluctantly he allowed Sue to join with him.  Sue could now see what the old ones had described to her the power within Alec was immense but needed focus.  She now called on all her knowledge to release the power he possessed Egesa was weakening but he was not defeated.

The old ones beckoned Sue to use the power that she had buried deep within her but she was struggling to use it.  It was then something very familiar to her came to her in her need.  It was Ramon his thoughts ran through her mind and directed her to a part of her that was hidden and now became unleashed through Alec.  Egesa was destroyed and disappeared from them in an almighty explosion and blinding flash of white.  Sue immediately released herself from within Alec and stood before him.  For a mortal Alec you have a power and understanding which has surprised us the legend has come forward.
