After Nova left, I found myself pacing with boredom. I glanced at Clover.

“Let’s go somewhere.” And I didn’t mean Earth. Where could I go with my three-headed dog that wouldn’t have people freaking? I mean, I guess we could have gone to a National Park or somewhere untouched, however, I had the ability to go anywhere so why not explore?

With Clover tucked to my side, I exited the cave and activated my talisman to bring us into the Continuum.

Hello, messovenata.

Given we’re friends now, I’d prefer you call me Sadie.

Very well, Sadie. A pause. You can call me Fay.

I would have blinked in surprise if I had a body. Hi, Fay. It’s nice to finally meet you.

A slight giggle preceded her next words. I am sorry for my previous reticence. It had been so long since I’d conversed with anyone that I forgot my manners.

I didn’t point out she’d previously worried I’d know her name and think poorly of her. I was glad to see her showing me some trust.

Fay spoke again. How did your visit with the Regina go?

Well. Awkward. She apologized for her actions, which was good, I suppose.

I initially tried to keep her from you, but she proved insistent.

Yeah, she can be bossy. I’m going to assume you didn’t send Nova somewhere weird when she left.

I should have. The sulky overtones shone through. She has a poor opinion of me, which is rude considering how beneath me she would have been had we both been alive at the same time.

She’s just worried you’re not a good spirit but a bad one.

If I were bad, no one would ever make it to their destination.

Her point is a few didn’t.

It won’t happen again. A promise I’d have to accept on voice value.

Listen, I want to take Clover for a run. I could use some fresh air and exercise too. Any chance we can go back to Topiia? The planet intrigued me. Not many people could say they’d set foot on an alien world.

There might be demons.

Good. I need to practice my combat skills.

Very well.

I suddenly found myself on the same path as before, the woods just as vividly colored, the sky and grass strange. But the air… I breathed deeply. It lacked the pollution of Earth and held a freshness to it that revived me. I glanced at Clover. “Wanna race?”

I lost handily to my dog. Like he literally ran circles around me. When we finally slowed down in a field of long grass with tufts of flowers swaying, I flopped on my back. Clover joined me and panted.

I almost fell asleep in the sunshine but startled abruptly when Clover emitted a low growl. I sat up to see Clover bristling with agitation.

“What is it, boy?” I rose to look in the direction he stared and saw the man I’d met and saved before. walking towards me, his gait stilted.

Oh no. Not again. The last time I’d come across people walking stiff legged they’d been possessed. The blood on his clothes made my heart almost stop as I recalled the faces of his wife and children.
