Chapter 10
Fortunes Told
"Look, Detective, how do I know I can trust you? You put the tracking dust on the Tardis," the Doctor asked, trying to stay calm. "The "Tracking Dust" as you call it came out of my skin pores, involuntarily, and I don't need to trace your signature, in any case. I know each and every ten reactions you make, three earth weeks before you make them. In case you haven't figured it out, my mother was a prophesier, and guess who inherited that. The only reason I put my hand on the Tardis, was to get your DNA, in case you needed to get into Jewel one day. If you have a problem with that, then leave now!" the Detective said, steaming. The Doctor did not say another word, but groaned, thinking, "If I didn't owe her my life, this would be much easier."
Cherry asked, "If you don't need to track the Doctor, why has it taken so long to meet with him?" "I was given trouble finding him for a while, that is true. However every time I appeared, the Doctor had already left hours before I arrived. It was only when our ships nearly collided, that I was given the chance to catch up," the Detective said, smiling at the Doctor, for a moment. "Your ship? It isn't Tulip shaped, is it?" Cherry asked. "Yes, his Ultimate Form is a pink tulip, but it can be altered," the Detective said, "Now, can we focus?" "Very well," Cherry said. The Doctor said nothing, but was sending flaming arrows with his eyes at the Detective. The Detective ignored his glares, and said, "The enemy is at Ging Ging Castle, in Sim City, but he is sending his troops through the sewers, to take over those that would cause his downfall, before they have the chance. They will attack tomorrow morning at seven from the Northwest sewer." "We must block their advances, at all costs!" Jonathan said. "Yes, and why don't you get George to help! He is also trained to defend his people, is he not?" Cherry asked. "Himself and all others," Jonathan said.
At this point, a ginger haired lady came in from a tunnel. "Hello, everyone! The creatures will be here around 6:30 to 7:30 tomorrow morning, and will start their attack from the North-west, according to our mole, Janus," the lady said, with an American accent. Everyone looked at the Detective, and the Detective asked, "Are you people going to introduce Amber to the circle, or are you going to continue gawking?" "Excuse me, who are you, and how do you know my name?" the Lady asked. "Amber, this is the Detective, or at least she goes by that name. She seems to be like Jacklin of Planet Frog. Though I have to admit, Jacklin was never this sharp," Jonathan said. "Excuse me, who was Jacklin?" Cherry asked. "Jacklin was the equivalent of Merlin, from the King Arthur autobiography," the Detective said. Amber walked up to the table, and asked, "Why do we even have Janus, if the Detective can see what will happen?" "Amber, I am only a visitor, and I won't be here for too much longer. I am in need of getting answers to my past, but first, the Cybermen will need to be brought down, along with their master, known as Goliath, but Goliath is only a pawn," the Detective said. "Who controls Goliath?" Jene asked. "Let me worry about that, Jene!" the Detective said. Jene narrowed her eyes and the Detective, and responded, "You have been acting a bit odd, for the last three weeks. What exactly has gotten under your skin?" "Jene! Drop it! There are some events, which you should not know, at this point!" the Detective said. "You know, I was once a Gypsy, and I did learn their ways. Maybe I can find something in the cards, which explains the past," Amber said. The Detective looked at the Doctor, and the Doctor said, "Why don't we all take a card fortune, before we prepare for war?" "Very well," the Detective said. The group, who lived in this time all had normal fortunes, and Jene and Cherry had Journey fortunes. The Doctor's cards read: "A Janus from the winter will reveal a hidden secret, and your fears will be neutralized." Everyone else had normal cards, but the Detective's cards, were very odd. The Samarai, the snakeskin, and the war and love card were the cards she got. Amber revealed to the Detective, that her lover would choose to return her to her home, during a war, but could not specify which war. The first two cards made no no sense as snakeskin represented life, and the Samarai represented death. These two cards were in the wrong order. "I think you need to sharpen your gypsy skills, Ma'am," Cherry said. "We should get some rest before tomorrow," Jonathan said.
