Three months had passed since Erin's battle with the void crystal. She reflected upon it for the thousandth time as she made her way to Chloe's house. | Three months had passed since Erin's battle with the void crystal.

The first couple of days after the fight had been filled with worries. She had seen the crystal destroyed, but was it really the end of it? What if she went to sleep one day, and woke up the next as a nihilistic monster? | The first couple of days after the fight had been filled with worries.

Those worries quickly gave way to wonder, however: The powers of the crystal had not been lost. They were now hers, and far superior to the little parlor tricks she had been taught previously. Exploring and analyzing them had been the most amazing experience of her life so far. Matter creation! Spatial manipulation! Pocket dimensions! She had created an extra-dimensional castle from scratch, and designed her own magitech, for crying out loud! She was making those incredible scientific breakthroughs, and creating an entirely new branch of technology! This was the best thing that had ever happened to her. | Those worries quickly gave way to wonder, however: The powers of the crystal had not been lost.

Buuuuut...That months-long high had been slowly giving way to practical concerns. The crystal had revealed the existence of the "Nihls" - and while Erin's information was far from complete, she knew enough to understand the Nihls were a threat to the universe at large. The mind boggled at the concept. She'd been trying to come up with offensive and defensive forms of magic, but that wasn't enough. Witht he world at stake, surely she shouldn't be taking all of it on her shoulders? Shouldn't large organizations be devoted to this? Armies, governments...Perhaps she ought to go directly to Parliament and give a demonstration... | Buuuuut...That months-long high had been slowly giving way to practical concerns.

There was already a large crowd gathered in front of it, and at least two people had cell phones, so she figured the firemen must already be on the way...But she heard no sirens, so it could take a few minutes. There could be people inside...And she had her Genesis Pen on her... | There was already a large crowd gathered in front of it, and at least two people had cell phones, so she figured the firemen must already be on the way...But she heard no sirens, so it could take a few minutes.

A dark alee was all she needed. "To make sense of it all: The Scion of Science!" A lightshow later, and she was ready. Warping space to get past the crowd, waving her pen to generate tons of water, cuttig a path through the flames...It was almost easy. Soon enough, she found a group of people trapped inside the house. Some water, some space twisting, and they were out. The crowd seemed wowed. | A dark alee was all she needed.
