The Rogue Guardian
Ilooked at Zane. “She’s a Guardian?”
“You can trust River,” he said quickly. “She’s different than the others. She helped me. She got me out of the Guardians’ Sanctuary.”
Faris gave River a cool, assessing look. “She is a Guardian. All Guardians want to destroy every god, demon, supernatural, and human in the universe.”
“And all gods want complete dominion over the known universe and to subject everyone in it to their will,” River countered.
“Of course,” Faris said, unabashed.
Daddy Dearest sure wasn’t helping matters.
I stepped forward and looked at River. “What makes you different than the other Guardians?”
“For one, I’m not trying to kill any of you,” she said lightly.
“Why not?” I asked her.
River shrugged. “It’s counterproductive.”
“Counterproductive to your objective?” I guessed.
“Yes.”
“And what is your objective?”
She spread her arms and smiled. “I can’t say.”
Typical. Just typical. One of these days, I’d love to have a normal conversation with someone.
“You know something about the visions I started having in the city two years ago—and am having again now, don’t you?” I asked the rogue Guardian.
“Yes.”
I waited for her to elaborate, but she didn’t.
So I continued with my questions. “This place is connected to the visions.”
“Yes.”
“And you’ve been here before.”
“Yes.”
“Did you send me the visions?” I asked.
“No.”
Well, she clearly wasn’t going to tell me more about that. So I moved on.
I looked around at the swirling tornado that surrounded us. “What is this place?”
“An echo chamber.”
“An echo chamber?” I asked, then felt a bit like an echo chamber myself.
