The Return of the Queen

[Katya]

Something about his dream was a bit unsettling to Katya. She was not sure why but something all the same.

"I do not know what your dream meant dear Nigel. But i think maybe we should talk about your magnificant weapon there. It seems that it glowed during your dream so maybe it is connected."

She leaned back again crossing her legs.

[Antero Black]

I sit down on the swing next to her, but don't bother to say or write anything. I just swing slowly back and forth.

I do need something. There has to be more to life.

[Metsanneitsyt]

I watched Flask frolic in the forest as I leaned against the Tree. I smiled. He seemed so happy...happier than I've ever seen him before.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Simona went to her room here to think." Bassarov tells Rodthingy. The past few days have been exhausting for Bassarov. But at least now that new bird rebel is going to get knives for Toivo.

[Mart]

"I know most everything. Your present is chronicled in our future, so I know that up to the time I came back, that information would be true. I know most things. I know an Idea of what could happen. But, nothing is for sure. The smallest fly can tip a grain of rice. Any little thing can shoft the flow of time.

But, I have come to do just that. You see, her desendnt has stolen everything from me. Now, I must steal everything from her!"

I look around

"So, will you help me, or not?"

[Nabiki]

Caine and I finished our meal and then headed for the Ministry of Environment.

So, have you decided which project you want to participate in yet Caine?

[Rodthingy Maestro-Reborn]

"Alright, thank you. I will just pop in, then take a rest."

I start walking up to her room. I knock at the door. I hope I don't wake her.

[Linda ~ Death's Symphony]

I hear some rebles aplaudding. I look up. *Thats it???* I thought. I bow some more. "Thanks you, you've been a wonderful audience.

[Zinn]

Zinn closes her eyes and feels the breeze on her face as she swings back and forth. Her legs are much longer than the last time she went on a swing set. She can smell the grass. She thinks about taking her shoes off, bt she doesn't want to accidentally show any of her scars. They embarass her.

Flashback:
"Higher Abba, higher!" Zinn sqealed. She was six years old, and she was already reading at a high school level. She was a tiny child with skinny limbs and large glasses. "OK, a few more times Ariel, and then we have to go back inside. Ima is making dinner, and we can't go swinging on Friday night," Zinn's father says. Zinn pouts. "All the other kids get to swing on Fridays." "But you aren't like other kids. You're a super special kid," Zinn's father says. "You're only saying that because I'm your kid," Zinn says wryly. Zinn's father stops pushing. "I'm saying it because it's true," he says. He kisses her on the cheek, and then lifts her up. He puts her down. Zinn holds his hand as they walk inside. His hands are huge compared to hers, and rough like sandpaper from working.
End flashback.

Zinn stops swinging abruptly. She feels tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but fights them back.

"Antero, can we go back to the base now?" Her voice doesn't concey her feelings.

((FYI, Abba is the hebrew word for father. Ima is the hebrew word for mother.))

[Ukko]

"Yes, I want to see Violet die. She is in the way of my plans. You are authorized to do whatever it takes to bump her off." Ukko says with a cruel grin.

[Nigel Eckhart]

"It could well be..." Nigel said as he looked at his weapon.

"I have read that this weapon can pass knowledge of previous users into its current users. I haven't realized it until today. It must pass on knowledge as I sleep. I have just realized something..."

Nigel looked over to Kayta, as his skin become pale.
"The Black Alchemist still lives to this day..."

[Jareth]

Jareth looked at Zeek. She had enjoyed their little reunion but knew she had to return to the ministry soon.

She missed Omadon and wanted to make sure he was taken care of. He was her spouse her lord afterall.

Zeek...i must go now. I need to go and finish up my work and go back to my home. I shall see you again sometime. Please do not be afraid to send me msgs at the ministry of science or terror. I really must go now....

[Mart]

"Exactly what I was hoping to here. I have an idea already. You are working with Lin-Sat, correct? Have him assign me as a new personal assistant to her. I could get chummy with her, brake out the wine, and then stab her in the back!!

Ah, yes. Sweat revenge! What do you say?"

[Antero Black]

"On't...yyy....eawse..." I walk over to her, I feel like crying myself. I put my hand on her back and rub it, trying to comfort her. What the hell am I doing? I shouldn't give a f'uck how people feel. I wait for her to push me away and start to yell.

[Cassandra]

My eyes widen. "I can kill Violet. You don't need this person." i said "I will gladly kill Violet." I said to Ukko. I glare at the newcomer. *Your not going to take my spotlight!* I htought
