Chapter 4

Once back inside her office, Ursula sat down in her chair with a sigh. That could have ended much, much worse than it actually did. She should never have asked Nux. That was her fault and her fault alone. She wanted to push them but failed to take into account Akkos current abilities. She would have to rethink this whole thing.

She kicked back from her desk and rolled her chair over the corner that had a mirror and wrote on the glass with her finger, "42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on death's door…"

The mirror rippled and started to ring. A few seconds later, Lord Death himself appeared in the mirror. "Hey hey hey what's up? How's it going, Ursula? Long time no chat!"

Ursula chuckled nervously "I know. I'm sorry sir, these extra classes have been eating into my time lately."

"You work too hard! Maybe it's time for a vacation? I know this wonderful spot in Florida!"

"Thank you, sir, I'll keep it in mind. Right now I'd like to report in on Akko and Diana."

"What about them? Oh dear, did Miss Kagari cause another explosion and catch Miss Cavendish in the crossfire?"

Ursula sighed. "No, sir. They had the training class today. Remember they're the ones who resonated out of the gate."

"Hmm… Ah yes! Please, tell me how did that go?"

"Well…" she went through the whole incident. When she finished, he was quiet for a long time. After what seemed to be an eternity he finally spoke. "Well, for now, I'd like you to continue to train them. Keep them on track and keep them focused but don't discuss resonating with them just yet. I'd be afraid they would hurt themselves. It sounds to me like they don't quite understand what's happened. "

"Yes sir, of course"

"Good! Oh and tomorrow, I would like you to come down to my room. I have a few reports I'd like your opinion on."

"Sir?"

"It's on the Greek situation. I'd like to utilize your strong tactical abilities."

Ursula perked up. "Oh! Yes sir of course!"

"Thank you! Well, that's all for now! Have a good night!" Before she could get another word in, he disconnected, leaving the room dark and silent once again.
