"So what do we do?" Ma'at asks, looking around at the others. "How do you fight this darkness?"
No one answers right away. Pizoku bites his lip a little. "With light?"
Episode Eighty-One
"The Scent of Lilac"
Jilan moves to stand over by Ashlee and Pizoku. "So we need light," She says. Images of various kinds of lights flood the holographic projection. "What kind of light should we get?"
"Strong, Bright, Powerful," Neah lists off. "You know, the works." She turns to look at the dark-haired boy beside her. "Taylor?"
Taylor begins to walk around. "Darkness is..." He trails off.
"...Dark?" Ashlee offers, halfway serious. Pizoku and Naoki look at her funny.
"...Usually associated with night," Reese says. Taylor snaps his fingers.
"How rude," Ashlee says, turning to Reese. "What did the night do to deserve that?"
Reese arches an eyebrow. "Be dark?" Ashlee sticks her tongue out at him.
"Well," Taylor continues to move about. He is clearly enjoying this. "The opposite of night is..."
Ashlee jumps up and down waving her hand about. "Ooh, ooh, I know this one! It's day!"
Naoki looks at his son. "Are they being serious?" Pizoku just smiles. He glances over to where Ma'at and Thoth watch stunned.
"And what is symbolic of daytime?" Taylor asks, turning to look at everyone. Neah and Jilan smile. "Anyone?"
"The Sun," Pizoku says. Taylor turns and grins at him.
"And who is symbolic of the sun?" Taylor says, looking over at the assumed Egyptian Gods.
A look of dawning crosses onto Ma'at's face. "Bennu," She replies. "The Phoenix."
Taylor walks over to the two aliens. "Where's your daddy?"
"Heliopolis," Thoth replies. He gets it now.
Taylor turns to look at the others. "The City of the Sun," he points out. "Any questions?"
Pizoku smiles. Even though he has no idea what is going to come next, with this group it's bound to be entertaining.
Meanwhile, in Tibet
The Great One wafts into the main chamber with the East and the South close behind it. Marisol stands in waiting with the children of Lhartse.
The Great One shoots a waft of smoke towards an older boy. "Him!"
"What about him?" The South asks in reluctant tones.
"Bring him to me!" the Great One demands.
"Why?" The East asks.
"I want him," the Great One replies. Marisol nudges the boy forwards towards the ethereal beings.
"For what?" the South asks with increasing trepidation.
The Great One wafts closer to the adolescent. "His body."
The East exchanges awkward and semi disturbed looks with the South. "Um..."
The action is sudden as a gust of wind. The smoke of the Great One encircles the boy and is seemingly sucked inside his body. The boy stumbles a bit, but when his eyes open they are now the glowing red of the Great One's.
The Great One takes a moment to admire the new male body. Then He turns around and looks at the children again. "You," He points to two teenagers. "You are both rather attractive and carry an aura of innocence and the scent of lilac."
He walks over to the girl and puts his hand on her forehead. "You will be Two because you're wearing red." He turns to the boy. "And you will now be Seven. Your feet are large."
The South and the East look at each other in confusion. The Great One's reasons seems to be rather, random to them. But the Nine are once again Nine, so why should they complain?
Suddenly a rumble catches them off guard. The Great One points behind them. "What the Hell is that?"
To Be Continued.
