Free Cyrosphere 6: Scrambling Lives Together by Deandre Dean Page B

find the doorway, opened my eyes and let my magic open the way. A sign saying "Welcome to Planetiturium Magic City." We walked through the entrance way and I could tell that Shalice was impressed with my magic usage.
    The barrier went back up once we walked through and I knew Agnus was powerful but not like this. Whatever she taught Stacey was not going to interfere with me finding my sister.
    It was literally a city. People were walking around in their way to dinner, clubs or every normal day activities.
    I slightly felt like I stepped into the Twilight Zone, as Shalice lead the way. Apparently she knew the way as we rounded a corner and came face to gate to a large bronze warning. There was a woman at a guard past behind the gate.
    A sentry. Always alert and ready to pounce. It was none other then Imani Monroe. What the hell was she doing here? She opened the gate and hugged me like we were old friends. This was all very strange and I had no idea what I stepped in.
    Shalice clears her throat and Jensen states they needed to see Agnus immediately. She looked uncertain but Shalice leaned in and said it was a matter of life or death which seemed to be the magic words.
    In seconds we were personally escorted into the small four bed room house. I had to wonder, why a gate and a personal security fairy. Instead of asking, Jensen squeezed my shoulder warning me now was not the time to let me curious mind asking around where I shouldn't.
    We stood outside a wooden door that cost more then my entire wardrobe. Standing outside her door, I had no idea how to handle the situation. I led Jensen and Shalice here with no actual real plan.
    The door opened to reveal Oscar Whitelock and his smile faded when his gaze landed on mine. What the fuck was he doing here?
    Chapter Five:
    A billion scenarios had just ran through my head but the last person I suspect to see was Oscar, my timetraveling avatar from the future.
    In no way was I prepared for this. I trained him and yet here he is in leagues with Angus and should be consulting me, not sneaking around behind my back.
    That wasn't totally fair since we hadn't spoken since his escape. He looked healthy and healed, must be due to some magic spell.
    Angus wasn't in sight as he brushed past me, a slight touch warned me not to display any signs we knew one another. He was definitely going to have to explain this to me. Before I could attempt to turn my head Jensen was ushering me forward and Oscar was gone.
    Shalice, Jensen and I sat down infront of Agnus large and intimidating desk. She didn't bother standing and just glared at us if were intruding on her night.
    Shalice says, "We need to speak to you about my daughter Stacey. It seems she has been taken."
    Agnus barely bats an eye and asks, "What make you think that? Oh and Shalice it is pleasant to see you well amongst the living."
    I felt no warmth from her, just distance as if her emotions were shut off. Maybe she had special shields that it made it harder to get a clear reading on her but I doubt that was the issue here.
    Agnus clearly states, "I don't know Stacey well enough yet we recently started her training. I always say a bright mind is the path to true power."
    Her gaze was on me now when she spoke those last words, did she think she made a mistake picking Stacey, and rather she'll be training me. It wasn't like she had a choice; Spider declared he'd be taking over my training because we both shared the same ability.
    Things were getting all mixed up and it was becoming harder to keep track of which side was the right one. Or even if there were sides and not just different philosophies.
    I turned to look at Jensen who was quiet during this entire exchange. Shalice was the concerned mom who wants answers to the cold, distant Agnus who really had no part in Stacey's taking.
    Totally off bases, it was time to change tactics. I apologized to Agnus and thanked her for her time which forced the others to follow my lead.
    I hope I knew what
