The Day of the Revelation…
Esperanza, Yara
"…can you hear me, old friend?" said Yahweh.
Upon opening his eyes, Lucas screamed in horror.
Getting out of his bed at his penthouse apartment in Esperanza, Yara's capital, Lucas became furious.
He screamed as he kicked over his chair, shoved his laptop onto the floor, breaking it, and chucked his cell phone at the wall.
Looking at the mirror in the bathroom, he could see Yahweh.
"We're together now, Odin," said Yahweh. "Maybe in time, you'll see things the way I did."
Lucas screamed, "NO, NO, NO!" and furiously slammed his skull into the mirror until it broke. "I'LL NEVER BE LIKE YOU, YAHWEH!"
A door opened near the bathroom.
It was the woman he slept with.
"Lucas, did you see the news? Along with what I think I saw in my h—"
Lucas took out his handgun and shot the woman in the head, killing her.
Screaming, Lucas said, "My first Prophecy, is an utter failure… Abstergo's in shambles… Tyr got killed by Yahweh's Sage back in Megiddo… but I had no idea Yahweh's eighth solution would go this far!"
Lucas looked at the broken mirror, and the candle on a nearby credenza.
There was a picture of him with Katja.
Lucas calmed down for a moment, and thought as he looked at the thin line of smoke coming from the candle.
"The threads of the Nornir continue to spin… This isn't over… My second conspiracy… C2… It still all can be mine… Ragnarok can be prevented… But Baldr is the key…"
"Katja… wherever you went… Come back to me…" said Lucas as he snuffed out the candle's flame with his fingers.
Epilogue— "An Unnatural Evolution"
El Este, Yara
The Present Day
Jack Carver was dead.
Sarah managed to kill him.
Sarah was on the beach, away from where her ally Dani Rojas, the leader of the Yaran guerrillas, and Fifth Echelon's ally from DedSec, Aiden Pearce, were.
For a second, she thought she could see that man that imprisoned her on the Rook Islands, Vaas Montenegro, sleeping at a nearby bar on the beach from a hangover.
"Seeing things yet from Yahsherah being in your head, Sarah?" said a familiar voice.
"Katja Winter," Sarah said as she looked at the troubled blonde beauty.
"Relax Edward, it's okay. She's a friend," said Katja. "If you say so, cap'n," she said to herself in an odd voice that sounded Welsh.
"Are you going back to working with the Assassins?"
"I am," said Katja. "I just needed time to process everything."
"You mean the fact that you're Baldr? Odin's son?"
"That and the whole business with Yahweh," said Katja.
Sarah smiled and nodded as she looked out at the shore.
"How did you figure it out?"
"I had a hunch," said Sarah.
"Technically I'm more than just Baldr…" said Katja. "It's complicated."
Sarah nodded.
"Lucas is still alive, you know," said Katja. "He was here in Yara not too long ago, but he left. He's become unhinged."
"I suspected as much as well," said Sarah. "Lucas wouldn't have let himself die in the process of stopping Yahweh's prophecy, corrupting the Tree of Eden, like my dad did in the process of stopping Odin's and fulfilling his. It must've been a body double my dad fought, that was genetically altered by the Phoenix Project to be a Sage of Odin like Lucas."
"You catch on quickly," said Katja. "You might actually be the one who brings him down."
"Maybe. I hope so," said Sarah. "He does have a lot of enemies now…"
Katja looked out at the shore as well.
"What do you think will happen when Lucas unlocks your true identity?"
"I don't know," said Katja, "but he said it's the key to everything."
"Sounds like you have a huge burden on your shoulders," said Sarah. "Becoming CEO of the megacorporation ruling the world sounds hard enough, let alone for someone who's been through as much as you have…"
Katja nodded.
"Well, however you choose to deal with it, the Assassins, Fifth Echelon, and our other allies will be in touch."
"Thank you, Sarah," said Katja. "We will meet again."
"Haven't you heard? I'll always be right behind you," said Sarah with a wink before she looked up to see the Paladin II and Briggs's chopper fly above her for extraction.
