“When they get here and find out everything, you know they are going to kill you right?” Avery said. 

“I’ve come to terms with my fate, the question is have you?” She set the book down on the table next to her. 

“Fate no longer controls me. I control fate.” Avery said. 

Fear crept across Phyllis’s face. 

“What have you done?” She stood. 

“I have accepted my destiny. I am the Past, the Present, and the Future.”  Avery said. 

“We have succeeded then. Are experiments worked.” Phyllis said. 

“Yes. Now release your glamor on this place and never cover it again.” Avery demanded. 

“I won’t” She said. 

“You will or I will. I was hoping to spare you that pain.” Avery said using the voice.

Phyllis fell to her knees releasing the glamor. 

The room transformed from a one room log cabin to a reception area of a medical facility. 

Avery snapped her fingers and 4 Ancients appeared. Maxine, Melvin, Theodore, and Addison. 

“You called for us.” Addison said. 

“Now is the time for you to pay for the mistakes you have made. I charge you 4 with finding families for all the mortal children here. The Halflings are to be taken to Turan and placed with families. Do not return to me until you have finished this task.” They nodded and walked past Phyllis.

“I wouldn’t do that.” Phyllis said. 

“Do you think I don’t know about her? I’ve know since she was conceived. When you’re attempted kidnaping was thwarted you started again. How many since me?” Avery asked.  Phyllis did not answer. “I asked you how many.” Avery demanded. 

“429 She is 430 just as you were.” Phyllis admitted. 

“How many survived?” Maxine asked. 

“7 Halflings, 4 mortals.” Phyllis answered. 

“You will sit here and await your fate. Any of your minions that resist will be killed. Your lab will be destroyed.” Avery said. The 4 Ancients disappeared into an elevator. 

“Please.” Phyllis begged. 

Avery walked over to elevator and pressed the button. 

“Please. Let me run. I’ll never resurface, I swear.” Phyllis said. 

The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Avery stepped inside and looked at Phylalis. 

“Don’t worry. You’re wait won’t be long. They are coming for you.” Avery said as the doors closed.
