Considering she’d woken him in the dead of night, Ryu was not as receptive as he might have been otherwise. Sitting up in bed, he did see that his sister was excited about whatever she had to tell him, so he tried to pay attention. As she went on, Ryu realized that something important really had happened. It was a little unbelievable, but amazing.

“Sis, slow down. This Trok guy just appeared out of nowhere? You’re sure it was a portal?”

“Yes!” Alex was pacing excitedly. “I think he’s been watching us for a long time. He seemed to know everything about us. He knew our parents and Grandma. He knew I was abducted. He knew you had been wandering in search for me. It was like we were old friends, or something. He’s just…comforting. I’d say loving, even. I trust him. Ryu, I believe him.”

“Are you sure he’s not with the Dominion. Maybe he-”

“No, he’s telling the truth. I saw in his mind, Ryu. More was there than I’ve ever seen in a mind before. I think he’s seen and done more than any normal person ever will. It was amazing, but he shut me out before I could see everything. There’s something strange about him, and it’s as if he wasn’t really here, or something.” She chuckled in bewilderment. “But I believe him.”

Ryu was silent for a minute. Maybe he’d become more jaded than he’d thought. The longing to accept what she was saying slowly crept in.

There is more to life than what we’re doing, he thought. I’m not satisfied at all. What, am I going to spend the rest of my life fighting in sparring clubs? I’ve known for a long time that that’s not what I want. I’ve been so worried about protecting Alex… But now it sounds like these Magi people aren’t evil after all. Whatever they did to sis, maybe it really was only meant to help her. Who knows? I’ve always wanted to use our gifts to help people… Now we’re destined to save the world? I could finally use my strength for something good! But sis, a Warrior? Well, if there is some prophecy saying she will be, I guess I shouldn’t worry. If we’ve been meant all along…

“This prophecy stuff is more than I imagined,” he said as he thought this through. “Kinda takes this to a whole new level of seriousness, doesn’t it?”

Alex chuckled with a nod. “What do we do now?”

“I guess we should start looking for these two other people with our Mark.” Ryu flopped back into bed. He needed to think, and he’d rather she not invade his mind while he did it. “Right now, we should get more sleep. It sounds like we’re going to be moving around a lot, starting tomorrow.”
