Chapter 2

Rachel was stunned. She just stood there. The Breeze is dead. Her heart was burned out by Gaia. But she was there and she gave me this. She held the broach up to her face and stared. The Gaiaphage was dead LP and Caine killed it. But no, Diana had said that only most of the gaiaphage had gone into Gaia. So The bits left will be looking for this. It must contain what it needs to live.

Rachel stood pondering. She decided to see Diana. She was still her sister and she was closest to The Gaiaphage other than Drake and he - Luckily - was dead. So Rachel set of to see Diana.

Diana was sitting alone staring out of the window. Rachel approached her and said in a hoarse whisper,
"Diana..." She turned around and looked at me.
"Who are you?" She said sharply.
"You may not remember me. I'm... well... Rachel."
"No you can't be. You were killed in the Lake Tramonto Massacre."
"No I had gone to deliver a message to Caine. When I was on my way back, Gaia was with Caine so I was never seen by her and I escaped the FAYZ."
"But... How... I've missed you." She stood up and walked over to me we hugged for several minutes.
"I've missed you too. We need to catch up but first I have to show you something." Rachel pulled out the broach Breeze had given her.

"Who gave you this?" Diana said after several long minutes of silence
"The Breeze gave me it." Rachel answered.
"She is dead. You must be delirious."
"No she gave me this and said "The Gaiaphage is still alive"."
"Well It will be after it because this is pure odionite. The only pocket left of it is in your hands and the Gaiaphage will need it to live."
"Well I have to go and keep this far away."
"I will come with you I know the Gaiaphage well," She looked down solemnly. "He took my daughter."We set off.

"Look, who is that?" Someone was standing on their own. Diana went up to them.
"Hello."
"Hello" They replied. "I am Signe, well that is my nickname. I was in the FAYZ so i'm afraid I have to go and... well... I don't do company."
"You remember the Gaiaphage don't you?"
"Yes."
"Do you want him back?"
"Boy no!"
"Well could you help us to get rid of it because it is coming back. We need to hide this." Diana shoved it into Signe's face.
"I will help. Anything to get rid of The Gaiaphage."
