Chapter 2

      Excruciating pain cause by a blinding light was what Thyra woke to. The pain of her wound was gone; in its place was the tenderness of a newly formed scare. It wasn't the light or the tenderness that woke Thyra though; it was the presence sharing the room with her. Trance Gemini wasn't normal by any stretch of the definition, but neither, Thyra admitted, was she. They were both oddities in a Universe that didn't enjoy dealing with any variations on the normal.

      "How long was I unconscious?"

      "Two days. I thought it would be longer but your system created an antitoxin before I could. I am bothered Thyra I did not see any of this and so I can not help but wonder if something is the matter with me."

      "The problem does not lie with you Trance, it was because of me. I once met one of your sisters and the same happened to her. My birth was in defiance of fate, around me predestine does not exist, fate can be bent."

      "That could be very hazardous to the road leading to the perfect future."

      "Or very beneficial. If something was set to happen and there was no way to use it to the advantage of the Universe I could step into the eye of the storm and anything would then be possible no matter what had been seen."

      "Why are you telling me this?"

      "Because I will not be bound by the chains of fate, if I see them coming I will break them, without care for why they are there."

      Gingerly she sat up, swinging her feet over the side of the bed in preparation to stand ignoring the hiss of warning and concern from Trance. Her muscles were stiff and a bit sore, but standing was not an issue. The world did not tilt, it did not fade, in fact Thyra had no difficulty what so ever as she made her way to where some of her clothes were sitting.

      Trance would have been amazed if not for the way Thyra's system had fought off the toxin that had been introduced into her system by the Drago Katsof. As she watched Trance wondered about the "sister" that had approached Thyra, most of her kind tried to stay away from those who interfered with the road to the perfect Universe. It made her wonder what had been seen in Thyra.

      "Was anyone else seriously hurt?"

      "No, you were the worst. No one else was infected with the toxin either."

      "That is because it was designed to neutralize the threat I pose. My Father deals with the Drago Katsof daily and has had a deal with them. They capture me and he'll help them take over control of the entire Nietzschean Empire. My Father has forgotten the many "adjustments" he had made to my genetic code when I was in his "care". There is very little that can kill me in the way of poison. I was created to be the ultimate assassin, his personal killer but he underestimated me. Thought that years of being deprived of normal contact would weaken the child I was, but that is where I met your sister. She told me of the efforts to create the perfect universe and I wish you well with your efforts. But I will not be a pawn in any game ever again."

      "Why would you think you would be a pawn?"

      "Because in the eyes of your kind that is what we all are, pawns in a game of creation. True you might grow close to one of us, consider us a friend but in the end you will still manipulate our lives towards your goal."

      Before Trance could reply Thyra had walked out of med deck and was looking for her crew. However the first person she ran into was Rommie.  

      "I think you and I need to have a little talk, so you can explain what was said between you and Trance."

      "Maybe in the future. Now is not a good time, now I have to find my crew and make sure my people are all right. Messing with the Drago Katsof tends to be dangerous to the health of the Clans."

      "I could make you talk to me you know."

      "You could, but you won't it is not in your nature unless there is a great need and it is the only way."
