His Imperial Highness Prince Starbridge Xavier Neramani was standing on his balcony in the palace on Chandilar, looking at the stars, when it happened.

Visions were by now not an unusual thing for him; they had happened frequently over the past five years. He'd been able to discuss them a little with his father during his last visit.

But this one....
Sharra and K'ythri, the images fanning out before him were horrific. So many paths to annihilation.

When it passed, he knew what he had to do.

Kalypso fell on her bed and had never been so happy to do so. The past weeks had been taxing even to an Eternal. She helped drive the deviants out of Olympia and then had stayed around for a bit to help start rebuilding the city. The effort had taken every bit of strength and energy she had and then some. There had been a few breaks to recharge, but even they were short and rebuilding had taken so much energy.

Now she was back in New York in her mother's place and she was planning on sleeping for a few days.
