“Me?” She glares. “I admit to being human and to having goals of my own. That doesn’t make me evil. We all have our own goals. You know more of me than I do of any of you anyway.”

"Hardly. You just said you 'don't have the purest of intentions,' but you won't tell me what those are." He buried his face in his hands. "I just want to find my brother, alright?"

EmLee kept wandering through the halls till she came to the large group who seemed to be arguing about a kid who disappeared. She listened in for a few minutes. I wonder if there’s anything I can do to help, she thought. I mean, I’m good with kids, right? I have magic and stuff, maybe I can figure out something.

Cufre noticed her. "What are you doing?"

“Trying to figure out what in the scud is happening and if I can help in any way. I heard something about a little kid gone missing and I got really worried! Is everything alright?”

"What? How?"

Not lucky. Skill. It took months of convincing parents and making plans.

“I imbued some of Icona’s essence into that paper I gave him. With some fenangling we could get a portal set up to there in just a few hours.”

"No, everything is not alright. My brother just got taken."

"Oh." Cufre relaxed for a moment, but then looked up at Fadran again. "A few hours? What could they do to him in a few hours?"

“That’s the problem… because tracking people across universes is significantly harder than across galaxies or planets. From the looks of things that stranger was from a universe with similar physics and dictating laws, which helps; and in order to come here it would’ve had to have been an open universe in the first place. All that’s just to say that it’s possible, but tracing him down directly in the infinite sum of infinities is going to take some trial and error.”

So you arranged to meet other sharders? Wow.

Did you see what Nath said about tethering his soul or whatever?

"Well... I guess just do what you can." Cufre closed his eyes, which were heavy from exhaustion. "The other guy... Nath-something. He said he did something that made sure they wouldn't be able to keep him for long. Do you know what that means?"

“Hm? His connection stuff?” Fadran shrugged. “I try not to egg him about it. His magic is a lot less set and solid than the likes of mine.”

He fell silent for a moment.

”If it means anything,” he added, more softly, “this organization… I don’t think they’ll be doing anything right away.”

"What organization? How do you know about this?

"I have no idea. Could you track him somehow? He got teleported away by some weird sort of magic."

“Oh. I guess I didn’t tell you… he said something about being in a multiverse organization. Kind of like here, but with less of an emphasis on… being nice.”

“I want that too, I promise.” She shrugs. “Besides, I just need to kill someone. That’s all. And I don’t think they’ll wait either. People are usually very impatient once they have their captives.”

Cufre was taken aback. "Kill someone? Who?"

“Power and resources are two very different things. With power you can come into someone’s base and demand a hostage; with resources you can spend time making sure your plan to get that hostage is airtight.”

"Does he need to be airtight? He's six, there's only so much he can do to resist... whatever they might do to him."

“What I meant was that if they were as big and important as he seemed to believe, then they would’ve taken their time trying to find and capture him. Infiltrate this place, get close to us, pick an opportune moment, then vanish without a trace. But instead they were messy, and now we’re on their tail. Hence—“ Fadran held up a finger, “he was bluffing.”

"Right. That doesn't mean anything good for Tacien, though. It might even be worse."
