Edot sat before the Admin with a steaming hot plate of bacon before him. Edot glanced up at the assembled Admin. “So…what are we looking for this time?” he asked. Pete immediately spoke up “I’m sure that you’ve heard of Rawrs success in the north yes? Well, we managed to extract some information from the Yce he captured and we now know that there is an Yce meeting in this remote area of Rwanda, Africa.” He said gesturing to the screen. Edot raised an eyebrow. “Really? I thought the Yce tended to linger in cold regions. Why would they set up camp somewhere warm. It does dampen there power and all y’know” Pete nodded. “Evidently they hoped that this kind of thinking would throw us off target. If Rawr hadn’t succeeded we’d be clueless.” Edot considered this for a moment before answering. “What about the anomaly?” Pete stared “Who?” “The new kid, the Chosen, the anomaly. What about him?” it was a long pause before Cookiecups answered for Pete. “How do you know of the Chosen?” Edot shrugged “After all that has happened, It wasn’t that hard to piece together the clues, and after the way you’ve reacted the truth was quite obvious.” Brett and Gu exchanged sidelong glances before Pete interjected “The Chosen needs to learn to control his gift, if we set him lose now then we’re going to have trouble on a catastrophic level. For now it would be best if we ignored him.” Edot blanched “Ignore him! You know what the Prophesy foretold! I don’t care what kind of person he is; he is a threat to everything we’ve worked for! If you let that…thing, live, your plunging the world into war. You of all people should know about that!” “Edot” Pete said slowly “Chosen exist to rectify disharmony between the sects of the Tempest. Something terrible has happened and if we…exterminate…this Chosen then we are doing ourselves a disservice.” Edot looked shocked “But the Treaty, you would have killed Chosen before, so would have all the other sects! Don’t you recall that the Treaty’s core revolved around eliminating these anomalies so that nobody could start a war and win for certain? Why is this one any different? You leave him be and the world will descend into chaos.” Pete growled in frustration. “Look we will deal with the Chosen later but for now we need you to look into that Yce meeting.” Edot threw up his hands in exasperation and reached down and picked up a piece of the bacon. With a withering glance at Pete he placed the bacon into his mouth and slowly began to chew. The intense flavour began to consume Edot’s senses. Edot let himself be taken up in the rush of sensations as the crisp bacon flooded his mouth with powerful taste. When the symphony of sensation reached its climax Edot felt something give, his spirt felt release, and then, he was free.

Edot rode the unseen curves of the transcendent Fyre. Edot could travel back and forward in time. He could be everywhere, nowhere or anywhere he wished. No place was safe from his scrutiny, some thing he exploited regularly. But now he had a destination, he soar towards it with frighting speed. I a few moments the exhilarating rush disappeared as Edot slowed to stop, hanging a few meters above a congregation of people. The ethereal Fyre avoided the figures and Edot felt a strange presence, Yce. Beneath him the Yce gathered, Edot could come on closer with so many packed together the area around them became oppressive as the effects of the small eddies of Yce became more pronounced the close they came, merging into a large void in the Fyre. The individually who was obviously the leader began to speak. As his words flowed forth Edots specteral eyes widened, he had just discovered something every important.

Four hours after Edot had consumed the bacon, his sagging body jerked as his sprit returned to it. Edot knew that time didn’t pass differently as he made out. But after this secret was uncovered by the Admin they had become very strict about when he could use it. After having spent a while simply enjoying himself flying around and talking those of the Fyre who were long since dead but now existed in the stream if ethereal Fyre, Edot felt ungainly and clumsy back in his body. After the freedom of his flight through Fyre, his body felt inhibiting, almost a prison. For the next few minute Edot staggered around the room trying to become accustom to the unnaturally weight of flesh. Eventually he turned towards the expecting Admin. They looked back expectantly, Edot wasn’t sure how he was to break this to them but he needed to do so. This was the major reason he had taken a short time to joyride before returning, he had needed to figure out how he was going to say this. Hardening his resolve against what he knew would be a negative response Edot spoke six fateful words “The Yce know about the Chosen”. The stunned silence was deafening. Edot continued, “They’re setting up preparations for the war they think is going to happen” the Admin continued to stare. Edot thought that if Pete’s eyebrow continued going up it would soon disappear altogether. Edot swallowed, “I told you so”. Finally the Admin seemed to be roused from their stupor. “But, how could they know of the existence of the Chosen!” someone said, “This is insane!” another voice broke out. Pete quietened them with a smouldering gaze. He turned back to face Edot. “Is this true? He asked. Edot looked back challengingly, “Yes”. Pete groaned, “It’s early days yet, perhaps we can avoid blood shed” he glanced at Gu. “Get the Chronicler and Defnop. I want them kitted out and ready to be out of here ASAP!” “Do we send Rawr as backup? Pete didn’t hesitate to answer “No, he isn’t the best at negotiations. And I don’t think that the Yce will appreciate us sending in someone who recently killed and captured two of their own” Gu nodded and went off to see to the preparations. Edot stepped in front of Pete and asked “But the Chosen, look Pete. I can see your reluctant to kill him but if you do then the problem goes away and this war won’t happen.” Pete looked at him and replied “I think you believe in that Prophesy to much. Think before you act Edot” and with that Pete shouldered passed him ignoring Edot’s cries of “Your making a big mistake Pete!”
