Something was coming into the room. It was making the air feel weird. Alexander felt the Crucible inside him react. It was like the Crucible knew something was up.

Kael said "Dad" in a voice looking at something that Alexander could not see. "It is showing me things, " Kael said. "Memories. The wounded memories."

Alexander told Kael not to talk to it. "Whatever it is, it is using you " Alexander. He stood between Kael and the thing in the room.

Kael said "It is not using me. It is reading to

    The Station was changing in ways that were hard to understand.Alexander stood with Elena and Kael on the observation deck. They were watching as the dimensional wounds throughout the structure healed themselves.Each time a wound closed it released a pulse of light that spread out and carried the truth to every reality it touched.Elena said "it is spreading" and she put her hand on her stomach.The revelation was spreading to everyone who was connected to the wounds' influence.Everyone was seeing it now. Understanding what really happened.Kael said "all of them". He was watching the connections he could sense.Every person who believed in the Disputed version of history was experiencing the memory transfer.They were all seeing the truth for themselves.Alexander felt the weight of that.It was not the people who saw it but billions and trillions of beings across dimensions.They were all seeing the devastating revelation at the same time.Their founders were not freedom fighters.

    The wound was like a breath that had been held in for a very long time. It was finally ready to let go. Alexander felt it moving through the cathedral. It was not moving slowly or quietly. It was moving with respect. The wound had been around for thousands of years. It had been a symbol of suffering. Now it is getting close to the end. It was approaching its end with something like peace. "IT IS TIME " the wound said. "ARE YOU READY TO HELP ME STOP?" Kael nodded. The light from the Crucible changed. It became warmer and softer. It was like the light you see when you say goodbye to a friend who has been hurt for a time. "We are ready, " Alexander said. "Show us what to do." "NOTHING " the wound said. "JUST BE WITH ME AS I GO. YOUR PRESENCE IS ENOUGH. I HAVE BEEN ALONE FOR LONG. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO BE WITH ME AT THE END." Elena stepped forward. Alexander watched her face change. She was not scared or sad anymore. She felt bad for the wound. The wound had been the god of her ene

    The tunnel was really weird. Alexander walked through it. It felt like time was getting all messed up. Every step he took made him feel like he was getting closer to something. He was getting closer to the thing that had been screaming inside for a long time.Kael was walking ahead of him. His eyes were reflecting the light of the Crucible in a way. It was like his eyes were solving math problems or something. Elena was walking close to Kael, her hand on his shoulder. Isandra was walking behind them looking really tired and thoughtful."How farther do we have to go?" Elena asked.The voice of the wound answered her. "You are already there, " it said. "You just have not arrived yet."Then the tunnel just stopped.They walked into a space that was really hard to understand. It was like a church made of glass and frozen light. Every surface was showing a moment in time. Alexander saw the people who made the universe. He saw them creating galaxies and dimensions. He saw them making realit

"Whatever it is, it is using you " Alexander. He stood between Kael and the thing in the room. Kael said "It is not using me. It is reading to me. Like a book. It has been waiting for someone like me. Someone who can understand it." The walls started to move. Something came out of the darkness. It was not a creature. It was like an idea that had become real. It was a hurt in the world that had become aware. The thing said "YOU ARE THE FIRST" right into their minds. "NO BEING HAS CARRIED BOTH CODES BEFORE. THE ARCHITECTS MADE THE WORLD. THE DISPUTED TORE IT APART. BUT YOU..." The thing looked at Kael with something like wonder. "YO

    Isandra Voss watched Elena with eyes that were cold and hard. They did not show any love or kindness."You were always the one who wanted to help people, Elena, " Isandra said as she walked around them. Her movements were smooth and quiet like a cat getting ready to attack. "Even when you were a girl you wanted to make everyone happy and fix everything that was broken." Her lips curled up into a smile. It was not a nice smile.Alexander felt Kael get tense beside him. The Crucible was warning them of danger. There were threats closing in on them and they had not expected this."What do we do first?" Alexander asked, trying to keep his voice steady even though his side was still hurting. "Do we talk about why you pretended to be dead? Or why did you build an organization to keep the world broken?"Isandra's face changed for a moment. She looked a little annoyed that they were asking her questions."I did not pretend to be dead, " she said. "I became something. The pain I felt showed me

    The Crucible Station looked like a hole in space.Alexander was standing at the observation deck. He was watching the vessel's sensors. They were trying to make sense of the impossible.The station did not look like a building. It looked like a place where reality had been folded back. This created a structure that existed in ways the human mind could not understand."It's beautiful, " Kael said quietly. Alexander understood why. The Station was beautiful. It was also very dangerous.Light was bending around its edges. This was happening in ways that should not be possible. Colors were shifting. These colors did not have names in any language. At its heart Alexander could see a pulse of energy. This pulse was connected to the Crucible's consciousness."We're here " Mira's voice came through the comm. "We will start approaching the maintenance access point in five minutes. Alexander, Kael. This is your chance to change the plan.""There is no plan, " Alexander replied. "We will go in a
