It lives!!!

It was all going wrong. The Mystic Man couldn't remember anything, he was just rambling. “A woman, women are great!”

“My mother?” D.G. prompted him.

“Who?”

“My mother.” she repeated.

“Who's mother?”

“My mother!” she said once again.

“Who's mother?”

CRACK!

D.G. pulled back in horror; she had just slapped that poor man! “I'm sorry!”

She felt a strange tingling on her right hand, but then the Mystic Man grabbed it and pulled it to him. “You have the most brilliant, beautiful, blue eyes. But, your mother, your mother had lavender.”

D.G. felt like she had was the one that had been slapped, “You do remember?”

Behind her, Glitch was making a hissing noise and Hunter went to investigate.

“The Northern Island. Your journey for her, to find who you are, starts there.”

“The Northern Island.” D.G. repeated.

The Mystic Man grabbed her wrist, “Let this guide you.”

D.G. nodded as Hunter ran to the window and opened it. “You three, get him out of here.”

“No, no, no.” The Mystic Man fought back. “You know who she is, she's the key.” He put a hand to Hunter's chest “The others must know. You have to tell them to keep her safe.”

“You have my word.” Hunter replied.

“What was that about?” D.G. asked “Where is he?”

“He's buying us time.” Hunter replied “We'd better not waste it.”

“The Northern Island.” D.G. said “We need to go to the Northern Island.”

“Are you sure about that?” Hunter asked. “I didn't think that anyone had been there in ages.”

“That's where we'll find my mother.” D.G. replied firmly.

“Then you're gonna need a truck. And I just happened to know where one is parked.”

“Are you sure this is a good idea, kid?” DeMilo asked “Sending them off to the great frozen north by themselves?”

“There's no other choice, I should have been in the Southlands days ago.” Hunter pulled up the hood of his cloak “But I have a feeling that this won't be the last we see of her.”

“Yeah, but I bet it'll be the last we see of my truck.”
