Without waiting for a response, Aspect turned and ran to catch up to Dylan. "So… Where are you from?

( you can call me E ) Element helped Cassandra walk, and then she sighed. "I think we should wait for questions; The crowd is getting bigger." she said. "Oh wait!" she stopped in her tracks, and with her free hand she whisked up a fog cover for them. "Okay continue with you're questions."

"I don't know. My parents never said. I always assumed I was American, but they always said I had more exotic origins. They never did tell me where." Dylan paused, "You really think I'm not human. Why?"

"Well…" Aspect started awkwardly. "I've been doing this hero thing for a while now, and no human has ever been affected by a Galaxy Stone the way you were. Now, the Maelstromians, they totally have. And the Iloneans, too."

They reached the door to the lounge, and Aspect quickly opened it and walked inside. Nobody was in the lounge, so she deemed it safe enough to relax. She took a seat on her favorite beanbag chair, a light pink one in one corner of the lounge.

Element let her fog die down, and she set Cassandra on a couch. She pulled a large, old looking book out of her recently abandoned backpack. The cover read "Secretum Steine". She opened it to a page near the back, and chewed on her pinky nail.

Aspect opened one eye a crack when she heard the rest of the group enter the room. Seeing Element pull out a book from her backpack, she asked, "What's that, Element?"

Element looked up. "Its called Secretum Steine. Secretum is Latin for secret and Steine is German for stone. I'm looking for stuff about Galaxy stones. I carry this book around because it has almost every supernatural item in it."

Dylan raised a hand, "So you're telling me that I'm not human? What would that make me? Part fish, perhaps?" Not waiting for an answer, he sat down and closed his eyes. Everything they were saying was quite absurd. It just didin't make sense.

Or did it?

He opened his eyes and stared off, thinking on that for a minute.

"Oh, cool, E. I hope that helps us figure this thing out," Aspect said, sitting up and finally opening her eyes all the way.

When she heard Dylan talking to her, she turned towards him. He was staring off into the distance, and it looked like he was deep in thought. Not wanting to disturb him, Aspect leaned back into her beanbag and closed her eyes again.

Element scanned the page, picking up little tidbits about things she already knew. But then, at the bottom of the page, she read "NE OMNINO PRETIUM" Latin for, "AVOID AT ALL COSTS". She lay her head in her hands. What was going on? She started to read the page again, when something caught her eye. "Kizkardesleri zamanla kaybolur" Turkish for "It's sisters are lost in time". Element perked up at this, and in her book she searched for "Sisters of the Galaxy stone". she found one, called the Nova. "Tā lìyòngle héngxīng de lìliàng" Chinese for "It harnesses the power of stars". Element smiled, and flipped back to the Galaxy stone page. "Finde sine søstre og ødelægge flammen". Danish for "Find its sisters and destroy the flame. What was the flame? Suddenly, Element had a flash back. She was in her old room, hiding under her bed at seven years old. She listened to her parents be murdered. Then a man in black had said something about "The Flame is Rising." Flash forward a few years at eleven, when she gets lost in the woods and finds a cave. "The Flame is Upon us," Again further up the timeline at fourteen. "The Flame has risen." How had she not remembered this instantly? She searched her book for information about the flame. Luckily it was in English. It wasn't her first language, but it was very easy for her. "The flame is an evil organization that steals away the universe stones. They are led by the god Anubis. Do not under any circumstances let them achieve the goal of finding all the stones." Element scoffed. She only believed in one God. But she finally began to understand all of it a little. The Flame was trying to find all the Universe stones. They were evil. "Guys!" Element yelled, standing up. "I have something to tell you!" she gave them all the information she'd just read.

A shout woke Aspect from sleep. She must have passed out for a few minutes after she closed her eyes.

Element shouted again, "I have something to tell you!"

Figuring it must be important, Aspect sat up and opened her eyes. Element was standing in the middle of the room, and the others had all woken up. After she had explained what she had just read to the rest of the group, Element sat down in her chair again.

"Dude," said Aspect sleepily, "That was a lot of information." She leaned back into her chair again. "What are we going to do about it?"

Element sighed. "I was thinking about that actually."

"Do you have a plan?" Aspect questioned.

Dylan, who had been listening intently, nodded as Element through her info.
An old memory fought it's way to the surface of his memory, fuzzy and unclear. He tried furiously to remember, but only came with one word.

"Xelnarin."

They both looked at him curiously, and he repeated, "Xelnarin. Does it sound familiar? I think it's a name…"

Aspect looked at Dylan curiously. "No. No, I've never heard of it–" she slowed as a memory resurfaced. "Wait! Yes, I have. An Ilonean was talking about that when my team and I caught one, once. Though I have no idea what it could be."

"Really?" Dylan said, perking up, "What did he say?"

Element shot up from her chair. "He's one of The Flame leaders!" she shouted.

"It's hard to understand them, even when they speak English. I think it was something like, 'Xelnarin is ready. Xelnarin be here soon.' But I don't really know. I'm horrible at talking to them," said Aspect.

"Xelnarin. He's a leader! I remember them talking about him when he killed my parents!" she cried, and then she began to pace.

"Je brûlerai le soleil et ses frères." Element was muttering under her breath.

"What?" asked Aspect, confused. "What are you saying, E?"

The word 'murdered' brought back another part of Dylan's memory. It came back slowly, but the words rang in his head:

Aren't you a fine little warrior? A bright future ahead of you, I can see it.

I will be the greatest warrior!

I am sure. You will end the murders, and bring glory back to the Flame

He shuddered, but didn't say anything. He was fairly sure he knew what the dream was.

Best to save it for a better time.

"I will burn the sun and it's brothers. That was a phrase written a long time ago. And now, hear they want the galaxy stone and her sisters. Their connected."

"Woah," breathed Aspect. "That's pretty dark."
