[ She debates for a bit whether or not to do this with voice or audio, but she feels too shaky for either, and eventually loses patience with herself and the debate. ]

I've been asked by some friends of his to share information that Vision found about the ritual and how it might go. Might have to go.

I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with the prophecy by now, but if not, you can look at it here.

Vision found three things. First is that this thing, the ritual, the 12th of November kept coming up as the most significant time to do it.

Second is that the more imPorts who are there, the better chance it has of working. So show up if you can.

The third is the bell. There are two in Jeopardy it could apply to. The first one is the most obvious choice, the bell in the cathedral of the spider cult church. The other one is the Justice Building, which is apparently pretty much decorative. He wasn't sure if we're supposed to ring the bell at 3am on the night of the full moon, or if we ring the bell to get things started.

I did some of my own research, too.


[ There's a pause here, while she puts together her thoughts. ]

The rock known as the Altar out in the National Park near Jeopardy has no apparent connection to anything. No important myths, no significant legends. There's whispers about it being a place where people used to be sacrificed to guarantee crop growth, but I couldn't find anything else tying it to the prophecy.

The other thing. The twins. I tried to find out what I could about them. Their names are Layla and Sally Clapp. They aren't mystical. They're just two ordinary little girls. They dress differently so people will tell them apart, even though their parents want them to dress the same. They like spiders. They read books about them. They play kid games and have kid imaginations.

So who knows if they actually saw something or not. Who knows if they have some mystical connection to what's happening. They're a convenient fit to the prophecy. That's all.

Is there are reason possible harm to these two innocent children matters more to you than the definite harm coming to all of them?

[ she grits her teeth and tries to restrain her voice when speaking but ]

They're children, Kylo. They don't understand what's going on, we can't just give them up to be sacrificed like that.

Do we even know it has to be them?

We know they satisfy all the requirements to serve as hosts.

[Kylo, in contrast, is cool. Not calm, he's never calm, but he is controlled.]

Rey. You, of anyone here. You should know it doesn't matter if they understand. Destiny, fate, the Force— it chooses. Not you. Or me.

[ As much as she hates to admit it, there's a point to that remark. It has the anger coming out of her like a breath -- they're chosen, they don't get to choose or understand why. She still doesn't understand why a nobody like herself was now a fledging Jedi - something that she'd tried to run from.

It'd still caught up to her. It'd catch up to these children, as well. The Import community would see to it.

Kylo had a way of bringing out these truths, cutting through the lies and denials that she clings to. Her parents, now this. ]


So we just give them up?

They never belonged to us. Did they.
