Chapter Fifteen: Before the Storm

FRISCO, TEXAS (A SUBURB OF DALLAS)

As the rest of the group listened, Holmes and Piper gave Lys an overview of the ongoing battle between the Irin and the Archons, and the crisis confronting the human race. Then Eliel shared a brief explanation of the synaxis.

She concluded, “To put it simply, Lys, a synaxis is a group of ordinary humans who choose to align themselves with the Irin. In the context of that synaxis, their depleted life-force is renewed and their lost abilities recovered. Through this, they gain the power to stand against the forces of evil that threaten your world.”

Eliel glanced around at the members of the group, then smiled warmly at Lys. “That’s why we’re all here tonight. This is our synaxis. It’s the first synaxis to meet in your world in more than a thousand years.

“The Archon’s goal is the total destruction of the human race, and they won’t settle for less. But through this group, and others to follow, you will gain the power to resist them and drive them from your world.”

Lys was still in shock. “When will all of this begin?”

“It’s already begun,” Eliel responded. “Last week we began the process of activating your gifts. Last Wednesday night, Piper learned she’s a healer. We discovered that Reetha’s an empath and that Marty has the ability to see into other dimensions. They’re just beginning to learn how to exercise these gifts, but as you saw tonight, the gifts are already powerful.”

“In the coming months we’ll continue this process. For this synaxis to be fully functional, all of you need to be equipped to use your gifts.”

Eliel glanced again at the members of the group. “Michael, we never got to you last week, but you have the ability to dispel shades. Patrick and Erin, you both have the gift of second sight—the ability to sense future events before they happen.

“Just by being here—being part of the synaxis—these gifts will begin to stir. As you continue to meet with the Irin, your life force will grow stronger. Each of you will learn to recognize your gifts, and discover how to use them.

“Over the next few months we’ll also add new members to the group. In a synaxis, each member draws on the abilities of the others. Each of your gifts strengthens the gifts of the others. Because of that, there’s a power that comes when you’re gathered in synaxis that you can never have individually. It’s generally felt that the minimum number for a fully functional synaxis is ten. The ideal number is twelve.

“But beyond unlocking your gifts,” Eliel continued, “this synaxis has a second purpose. And that’s to open a portal between Basilea and the earth-realm.”

“A portal?” Lys asked, looking genuinely perplexed. “What’s that?”

“A portal is a passageway between dimensions,” Eliel explained. “Your physicists would call it a wormhole. It’s an open doorway that allows free movement from one world to another.

“The Archons have been able to open many portals between the earth and Hades.
