PART EIGHT- THE PLAN! SilSol came downstairs then and said, “your all here?” “Yes” said OkAc “what is this about SilSol?” SilSol said “you’ll see, UngIm, ZokZah, and I have been communicating with each other on a regular basis for the last few weeks, this is why I called a meeting”. He turned on the planetwide crystal communications and said “Zok I have the others here, so we can establish the link now”. “Very well” Zok’s voice sounded over the communicator “dialling in EktUtt and AyukAmaj now, seeing they are the closest to where I am, UngIm is adding NaNol seeing they are assigned to the same tower, you have the rest of us?” “Lucky me” SilSol said wryly. “Channel is secure” said ZokZah “noone can listen in, I have the ability to be able to do that”. “Lucky for us” UngIm said as his image appeared along with NaNol who looked grumpy as usual and although he no longer needed his eyepatch he still wore it. EktUtt looking as lavish and as decadent as she

That was how SilSol found them both about an hour later, standing outside, looking at the Beacon and clearly in deep thought. He paused a moment, wondering if he should disturb them, but then decided to do so anyway. “I wondered where you two had gotten too?” he said offering them both a cup of tea “the others they are still discussing plans and noone seemed to have noticed that you two had vanished”. Az said, “ we wanted to come outside to discuss something of our own, in peace and quiet”. SilSol nodded “too many voices?” Az nodded “you noticed that too?” SilSol nodded “I think after all this time here we are now all doing so, One Voice, One Song, that despite ourselves we are finally assimilating on some minor level… we are still discordant though and we will always be so, it is another reason to leave if we can before we all lose the individuality we fought so hard for”. Az nodded “ that was your plan all along wasn’t it?” SilSol nodded “we can’t

“I chose to stand with you” Az continued “ and I choose to leave with you” he paused “but seeing I have been freed I can use that to my advantage to prepare”. That made them all smile, that was pure Durn the Sorcerer right there, and they all realised that they missed the odd, red headed, winged Skek who had never fallen into the darkness they had and their Mystic sides missed the equally as odd red headed UrRu who had never fallen into the Dream they had. “What of you Tael?” asked ZokZah “you have the same choice as Durnazshar does, you do not have to come with us if you don’t want to, I mean we all have that choice but you two most of all, that pair of you could one day possibly still be forgiven. The pair of you have done the best for yourselves here apart from SilSol and you are both innocents”. Tael looked at ZokZah “what do you think? Of course I am coming, my place it has always been at Az’s side, if you can pull this off I will be there with you!

SilSol led Durnazshar outside and said,“you stopped singing and seemed to zone out there for a while, are you sure you’re alright?” Az said, “I didn’t think anyone noticed, how long was I out?” “Not long, but I know every voice in this choir, Durnazshar so if noone else noticed…I did!!” said SilSol “you seemed distracted so are you sure you are alright?” “I was just thinking of what we were discussing earlier” said Az “ and your composition it made me see, Stars and Planets”. “It did?” “Yes my imagination must have gotten away from me”. “Keep it under control” said SilSol “given your powers”. “Yes Master SilSol” said Durnazshar. SilSol nodded “Durnazshar. Take a break and then I will get you and SharLeah to sing together, I have written a duo that will suit both your voices nicely.” Durnazshar nodded “are you sure that is a good idea Master SilSol? Putting me in the Spotlight with the star of the Choir?” SilSol said “you don’t think so?” “Not really…we
