Kindra

It was coming to quickly, my father wasn't ready yet, Deothanos would not wait. I didn't blame him though, he only had a few weeks at best until he was powerless, I could sense the virus growing inside him. My mother had sensed him coming as well and was going to meet him and delay him as best she could, while I found Sterling.

He was in a room alone with Rain, I really didn't want to intrude but I had no choice. I knocked on the door once before walking inside. Fortunately they were just sitting together on one of the couches.

"Pardon," I said. "Sterling I need to talk to you, alone."

He excused himself from Rain and stepped outside with me and followed as I began walking off towards the exit.

"We need your special talents right now Sterling," I pleaded. "Not the power you are most familiar with."

"Why what's going on?" He asked. "Are we in danger?"

"Yes, Deothanos is outside right now battling with my mother," I informed him. "Only you can stop him."

"What do you mean?" He asked again.

"He's been infected with the virus," I told him. "He's got a few weeks before it begins to affect him. You can speed up time. Specifically the mutation rate of the virus, but it doesn't matter whether you simply age the virus a few weeks or his entire body or even all of us in this building, but you have to stop him Sterling. My father isn't ready yet and, if I woke him from the state he's in he'd die and all of this would be put to waste. My father will need us when he is finished, all of us."

We finally got to the door leading outside. I continued, "I'll be helping block his mental waves but I'm no match for him, all I can do is give you a fighting chance to succeed. Good luck."

I opened it and charged out into the open, invisible. He was busy fighting the shadows that seemed to be alive.
