UL1 - Book 11 - Chapter 077a -

Miranna stood there, her fingers a few inches from the crystal that she had read about.  Five watchers all sat there, unmoving, none speaking. Each of them seemed to be holding their breath as she was.

It was comical, seeing a demon, a dwarf, a dragonkin, a human, and a half-elf as a reflection of their party sitting on those chairs.  Each one had the thread of power that flowed into their head and out the bottom of their chair.

“Touch it,” the female half-elf Archon said.

Without waiting another moment, Miranna pressed both her hands against the oversized crystal and felt her body suffer under the assault of something that felt vaguely familiar to the day of her System awakening.

The galaxies or other worlds that she had read about flowed through her mind as if she were able to watch this as the power of the System flowed through her.

Pain continued to assault her as whatever was taking place continued.

Miranna could hear words, yet her ability to understand most of them was drowned out, the torment of her moment overwhelming her senses.

Through it all, a few things that were said came through.

“It’s outside… rules… dangerous… death.”

She stumbled backwards, clutching her chest with both hands as if someone had just kicked her there.  

Five sets of glowing eyes stared at her, none of the watchers spoke, yet Miranna could sense something inside her that left her… scared.

“What… what did you do?”

“The time has come for your ascension, Miranna Hoste,” the dragonkin said. “Know you are… an anomaly.”

“We do not discuss these things with them,” the male dwarf Archon stated. “She must leave. Her time is done.”

Miranna saw that none of their expressions changed. When they spoke, it was as if they were staring at a blank wall. “But–”

“You must go,” the demon said, cutting her off. “Do not force us to cast you out. You will not like that.”

Nodding, Miranna selected the choice to leave, knowing that whatever had happened, the warning Bob and her father had given her had come true.

I’ll find you, Mom and Dad… soon.
