"What happened?" Zinn asks in a concerned voice, the bag teporarily forgotten. Simona is one of the most religious people she knows. She reminds Zinn of her mother in some ways.
"If you don't want to talk about it, it's OK, of course."

"I don't think I can talk about it. I did fine at first. I was tortured but could stay above it. I was put on a cross, which was humiliating, but I could handle it. I watched videos of others being tortured. It made me sick, but I could put it in context..."
I look at the floor.
"It was building me. The pain was a spiritual experience. I felt...united in suffering....with my savior...."
I pause and think back.
"But I put into a darkness so great and a suffering so vile that I can never recover that. It broke me. I am left feeling empty, and that G-d is an idea, and Jesus was just a good man who threatened the Romans."

Helene sighs and eats some of her own soup.
If only it could come quicker. But untill it does, this is a haven. If only everyone could have a part of it...
She chews more food and observes the lily growing next to her.
When the day all of this looks like above, human nature will really understand the simple things.

"I should head back. The rebels may need me. But thanks for the food and taking me here, Helene. I enjoyed our time together."
Bassarov feels that he has a new respect for Helene. That he is somehow connected to her. She is the mother of the son who he adores, so he does care about her.

I am tired of the disturbing reports concerning the condition of the world that I keep recieving. Dead revolutionaries coming back to life, LIF members inside the Ministry of War... It is time I do something about this, time to bring back the only person EVER to be unquestionalby loyal... I walk over to Hera's office and knock on the door.

"I have to go...bye"
Bassarov kisses her on the cheek, and teleports to his apartment
He gets to work, writing out his arguments for the socialism forum.

I get no answer, and I do not have time to wait. I teleport back to my castle on the border of Walachia and Transylvania where I keep all of my darkest secrets. I materialize in front of a large metal cylinder which begins to open... The process has been completed, and a young woman steps out of the capsule...

Helene sits for a while after he is gone... thinking. The world would be a much better place if it was ruled this way...
she shakes her head.
No way nymph government would work on the outside world. Stick to what you already are working for...
She sighs and finishes her soup.

A dark look crosses Zinn's face.
"Bastards," she says, her voice almost trembling with rage.
She reaches out and holds Simona's hand tentatively, waiting for a reaction. She remembers how she did not like to be touched when she first escaped, and does not want to violate Simona's personal space.
She doesn't really know what to say.
"Simona, god is only dead if you believe god is dead. You mustn't let Red Infinity control you. They have not broken you. The fact I am talking to you now is a testiment to that fact. I can't say things are going to get any easier, because I would be lying. However, my personal philosophy is that apathy is living death. We're all a little dead sometimes. Fight for your life any way you can. You can still reach god if you want to, and if not, there is life without god."
Zinn pauses.
She empties out the contents of the bag she has onto the bed.
The ingredients for challah, a small bottle of Kosher wine, a chumash, a siddur, three Yarezheit candles, and a kiddush cup fall out.
"Yom Kippur is coming up. I was wondering if you would like to participate with me. I know you are Christian, but I thought you might be interested maybe..."
"My parents would have been proud. I managed to hunt this contraband stuff down in record time."

I look around me, my senses still somewhat hazy from the rapid-cloning process. In addition to being genetically cloned my memories from 500 years past have been inplanted into this body too, making me a perfect duplicate of that which lived so long ago...
I notice my Master, Lord Kolov, standing before me. I am naked, but this has never bothered me. I do grab a towel from beside the machine and wrap it around my waist, just to preserve ddcency... I kneel before him and say: "My Lord... I was dead, how long has it been?"

I was on my way to my next meeting. *That girl was rude. She made me wait thier with out an answer. Oh well I talk with the Gen. Vlad Kolov. He is my next meeting scheduled.*
We arrive at his castle through a helicopter. I was escorted to the front gates of the castle. The door opned as I arrived. I walked to the base of the stairs. Bodyguards all around me.
"Gen. Vlad Kolov?" i said looking up the stairs

"You were dead for more than 500 years. I brought you back because the most recent copy of you is no longer viable. It is now one of the enemy, and I needed a drone that is totally loyal." I glare at her, las time this girl had lived she had been killed at the age of 33, however she would have died of emphysema before dhe ever reached 40... I don't want a repeat of this. "You will be glad to know that we have finished your genome. Your body tissues will now regenarate themselves at an enhanced rate, now you will live a lot longer than the 38 years the doctors predicted."

"Yes, I know I smoke too much. But consider that it is the only liberty I take. Now, what are my orders?" I ask, even as I hear the knock on the distant door.

I heard some people talking upstairs. "Gen. Vlad Kolov?" I said a little louder. No answer
I decided to go upstairs. I went up and gave a signal to stop. My cape gracefully sweeped the stairs as i went up each step.
When I almost reached the top the voices became more clear. *Hmmmmm.......Whats going on?* I thought.

"Get some clothes on and meet me at the front gate." I immediately teleport up to the gate and open it with my power. "Welcome to my home. You must be Edea?"
