Asglow was almost ready.<br \/>\nHe proceeded with his plan, slow and steady.<br \/>\nFirst, he had to bring the Wizards under his spell.<br \/>\nNo fight was involved. Things were proceeding well.<br \/>\nFirst he called all Wizards to a large meeting.<br \/>\nAnika and family did a combined greeting<br \/>\nwith a spell that protected them from within.<br \/>\nThey didn\u2019t trust Asglow. They feared he would win.<br \/>\nAt the meeting Asglow quoted a pledge.<br \/>\nThis caused all Wizards to lose their edge.<br \/>\nIt brought them under Asglow\u2019s control.<br \/>\nIt happened so smoothly, they didn\u2019t even know.<br \/>\nAnika and her family were protected from it.<br \/>\nTheir combined shield from within did the trick.<br \/>\nYet, they weren\u2019t really aware what happened.<br \/>\nThe title of the meeting had no caption.<br \/>\nWhat was this meeting called for?<br \/>\nSomething was wrong, as they left out the door.<br \/>\nThey knew something had just happened, but what?<br \/>\nThey zapped home. All their defenses were up.<br \/>\nThey started planning what to do.<br \/>\nAnika said \u201dI think the church will do.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe pick a side room and line it with mirrors.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWalls, ceiling, totally cover it. Is that clear?\u2019<br \/>\n\u201cBut, what will this do?\u201d Ansir said.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure, but I have it planned in my head.\u201d<br \/>\nThey carried out her orders right away.<br \/>\nThis was going to be another episodic day.<br \/>\nThen Anika contacted Asglow via her wand.<br \/>\n\u2018Meet me in the church. Bring your wand.\u2019<br \/>\nAsglow immediately knew what Anika meant.<br \/>\nShe wasn\u2019t affected by the spell he sent.<br \/>\nNow, it comes down to that final hour.<br \/>\nI knew I would have to make Anika cower.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s only proper after what she did to Kronos.<br \/>\nI will turn her into a lone ghost.<br \/>\nAsglow zapped to the church.<br \/>\nHe entered and stopped with a lurch.<br \/>\nNo one was there. He searched around.<br \/>\nThen, in a side room, Anika was found.<br \/>\nShe stood there with her wand raised.<br \/>\n\u201cYou will fight me in a church of praise?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cGod will protect me.\u201d Anika said.<br \/>\nAsglow just laughed and shook his head.<br \/>\n\u201cBring it on then.\u201d He stood ready, no fear.<br \/>\nAnika changed her wand to the spear.<br \/>\nBefore she could activate it, Asglow was gone.<br \/>\nHe jumped back a few minutes. Not long.<br \/>\nHe moved forward to get behind Anika.<br \/>\nHe jumped back forward to grab her. Eureka!<br \/>\nWhat was this? He was out in some woods.<br \/>\nHe jumped again, the best he could.<br \/>\nHe didn\u2019t know where he was at.<br \/>\nHe felt like he was flapping around like a bat.<br \/>\nA few more jumps and he realized.<br \/>\n\u201cI am caught in a time loop.\u201d he cried.<br \/>\nDifferent time realities kept appearing.<br \/>\nHe\u2019d jump every few minutes he was fearing.<br \/>\nBillions of realities could exist.<br \/>\nThe mirrors sent him on this trip.<br \/>\nThey had distorted everything for him.<br \/>\nHe didn\u2019t know how to get back.<br \/>\nHe could be trapped like this for an eternity at that.<br \/>\nWhen he didn\u2019t reappear, Anika knew she was right.<br \/>\nThey removed all the mirrors &amp; put them out of sight.<br \/>\nShe had figured out why his future couldn\u2019t be seen.<br \/>\nShe had filled in the gap in the in between.<br \/>\nAll the Wizards snapped out of their trance.<br \/>\nThey had lost time. But, they had a second chance.<br \/>\nAfter another meeting and all was explained.<br \/>\nThe new head of the council, Anika, was named.<br \/>\nAnother major tragedy was avoided for them.<br \/>\nBut, for Asglow, his tragedy would just begin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;R.W.
