The Fates intervene.

I am writing this to you via Dragon, apparently, and I only recently realised what he meant when he said he might need to do some updating for me, but this way you're being told about it as it happens to us, kind of. You're hearing it in the same timeframe we experienced it, if that makes sense.

So last night, me and Playwrite and Don had managed to calm everyone down, there were a few minor injuries due to emotional bursts of abilities, but once Healthbar calmed down she fixed us all up.

Tingle had, after almost being attacked by Precog, tried to get in touch with Moira, but with no success, so Precog was frantically trancing for answers, muttering 'One of her friends...that's how they travel so much...he can bring them all back.....' he was going crazy. At one point, he went into a trance involuntarily, and actually fought his way out of it, saying furiously 'No, I don't have time for other visions, I have to help Omni and the others!' We protested that it could have been important, but he just said 'It started with a view of a bunch of greek columns, but in good condition, it was probably about Damian, and funnily enough, if danger is heading his way, or was, clearly he's back now, I don't feel like warning him. Maybe I'll change history by not telling him by having him injured back then, and he won't be able to kill Omni.' and he went back to it.

Dragon turned up, with a young boy and a woman, but seemed very concerned. As soon as he saw us, he reached inside his long robe and pulled out a small marble box, flat and rectangular, with greek carvings round the side. 'Good, you are still here my friends' he said quickly, as if there wasn't much time, and then gestured at his friends. 'These are Pig and Dog, the other survivng members of Zodiac, but there's time for that later, just now, I must warn you of the Fates.'
'Damian's mentioned them, they sent him back to ancient greece' Doolittle said, just as Diffy laughed, giggling 'Pig is a funny name!' then he gave a small cry of shock as he leapt out of the way of a thin beam of whitish blue energy that shot from the eyes of the woman, followed by a finger laser burning a smiley face in the floor where he'd just been. 'Still think it's funny short stuff? I take my job seriously.' said the woman, a grin on her face. 'These people are our friends' scolded Dragon 'Please treat them with respect.'

He waved the box in my face. 'Remember this box Tempest, and when you need to contact me, use it. I am not able to warn you exactly what is soon to happen, and I will not be able to join you, but you make contact through this, understood? It makes it's way to me and the fates don't find it, they can't find me, I don't exist to them, you must use this to your advantage!'

'What?! More information please?'

'There's no time! Please, everyone, listen, I can only stop them knowing what we're doing while they aren't here. The Fates are targeting you Tempest, and Damian and Cleo. Healthbar, with your new mastery of your larger ability, it probably won't be long before they go after you. I wouldn't be surprised if they came for all of you at once. They don't like people working together, it makes them too strong. Twos and Threes yes, and of course evolved humans have been meeting each other for centuries, it's destiny, but always in a large team? They will want to stop you. They really only concentrate on people with abilities these days, normal humans have started to bore them, but-'

There was a large bang, and a flash of light, and a wizened old hag was staning in the room. 'Never could resist an entrance' she wheezed, and glared at Dragon 'I was sent to see what the black spot in our sight was that obscured these children from our view, but now it all makes sense. I should have known it was you, you meddling fool, we thought you'd died!'
'I...am guessing.....your sister....hasn't....met me at the temple in Japan yet.....my past...her future....your sister, the fate manipulator...I defeat her, and take her power, it's in Tempest...right now....'
'Hold on, What!!!' I was shocked.
'The ability to manipulate fate....is one of the four Dragon powers I gave you....one of the ones you must guard, and only....use when there is no other solution...' he seemed to be in an invisible struggle with the Fate, as if his energy was being drained. The Fate grinned at us and simply said 'I suppose I should just destroy you all now, but, you're such interesting subjects, and after all, the thing with my brother.....'
Tingle interrupted 'Brother? Damian warned us about you, but never mentioned a brother'
'He didn't know, did he? Our brother is a disgrace, we haven't heard from him for many, many years. But I think you eight are worth further testing...maybe a bit closer to home...'

Don grabbed my arm, and there was a wave of invisible force that rippled through us, a slight prickling sensation, and the base, and Dragon and his friends disappeared, but Dragon threw something at us, which got caught in the ripple and left with us. We suddenly stared around to be surrounded by a similar sight to Damian's: Greek columns, huge white buildings sitting on platforms that went up in steps, and people wearing large bits of cloth wandering around.

'Ah' said Precog, looking guilty. 'This MAY be what my ability was trying to warn me about earlier'

We glared at him.

I assume you'll be updated again soon.
