"With Sayd gone it is imperative that we continue expanding our numbers." Ganthet said as he and Saint Walker sat at the foot of the stairs leading up to the blue central power battery. "I agree guardian but...never mind." Saint Walker replied as his eyes sagged down. "No my child speak freely. All children of hope will be heard here." "Guardian its just..." "Saint I have told you call me Ganthet. We are all brothers here." Ganthet said making a wide gesture to all of Odym. "Ganthet it's just that I feel it would be best for us all to rest first. It has not been that long since the Manhunter incident and we could all use it...even you."

"You are right my child even I feel the wear of our most recent ventures. Rest it is then. Hope does not die. It simply builds whether we move today or tomorrow." Walker smiled at
Ganthet as he finished his sentence.

As they both began to gaze off into the distance the light of the central battery starts to grow brighter emitting to all of Odym becoming blinding. Walker and Ganthet jumped up facing the battery shielding their eyes from the light. "Ganthet what is this?"

" I do not know child." Off in the distance they could hear brother Wrath and the two other lanterns calling out to them.

"It is time." A voice that seemed to emit from the central battery.

"Time for what?" Ganthet asked not knowing who or what he was asking the question of.

"Hopes truest champion to come forth." As the voice said this a ring emerged from the center of the battery coming straight from the blue light itself. "Let this ring seek out this champion where ever they may be. GO NOW!" The ring shoot up into the sky and through Odym's atmosphere.

"Ganthet?" Walker asked looking to the guardian who was starring after the ring.

"I know child this even has me speechless."

"What do we do?"

"Follow the ring."

"What?"

"Go follow the ring and see where it goes and who it picks out."

"But Gan..."

"Walker please do this for me. Brother Wrath and I will attempted to figure out everything we can from here, but we need someone to see where all this will lead."

"Yes Ganthet."

"We observed this a few times when I was still a guardian of will. Will has chosen green lanterns before with out the guardians or any other lanterns intervention before. Perhaps hope is just as free willed. Thought the voice has me dumbstruck...Go Walker before the ring is to far away for you to catch up to." Without another word Walker lifted into the sky surround by energy form this power ring and speed off in the direction the unknown ring had headed.

"2814..."
