Chapter 197: Beginning Part 1

"Well?" Blovid asks as we enter Sampson's home. "What happened?"

"The Lynzees took us to the Origin of the Gifts," he says and an audible gasp rings. "And then... we saw Her."

"The Mother?" Blovid approaches, his hand at his chest. "You actually saw Her?"

Sampson, Clarence and I nod, just as the Arizal Leader shifts his focus to Reid. "Not him... she had him asleep by the time she appeared. But," Sampson exhales, "She told us there's nothing we can do to stop the war."

All six Dofinikes frown, Qippert nodding to himself. "No... I suppose not."

"Did She say anything?" Jothkore asks, "anything at all that might possibly assist..."

But Clarence and Sampson are shaking their heads. Clarence looks at me. "Except that Fallon would need to leave us at some point."

"What?" Blovid's eyes find mine. "To go where? And do what?"

"We don't know. She only said that when the time comes, Fallon must leave so that she can learn something so that she'll be prepared when the time comes."
