Chapter 45: Hot-heads

Sol finally had some things worked out in his head about how his magic worked. Sophia was tight-lipped (lipless, even) about how a lot of this worked. When asked why, the spirit always suggested that it either didn't have the ability or desire to interfere in their natural development.

Sol suspected there was more to it. It had the ability to sense future events. Surely it had access to some knowledge of past events. Whether it was directly or through their own minds when it chose to access their memories (he was sure it had), he knew there was some deeper connection to the timeline.

Pieces of conversations with Sophia drifted through his mind as he contemplated this. They had been chosen, it had said on several occasions. The spirit had also said it loved them for what they could become, for the people they were becoming.
