She is dancing around her rooms. Singing (off key I notice) and laughing. "Oh MY OH MY I never expected you to do that. I kept trying to send in people to fix that world. Most made it worse, some fixed or patched parts of it but you you my wonderful man made the Outsider forces leave completely. All because you figured out how to hack the system of one small prison. SO Wonderful."

We all look at each other. The man, who I now know, though I can't say How I know, is John Carter. Ranger and Elder Vampire. And just as confused as I am.

Rose ask, "Um Miss, where are we ?"

Dawn adds, "Are we dead ?"

The lady sighs and walks over to us. "You are in my place, I can't explain it better than that as you would not really understand it. And yes you are. That blast pretty much erased your physical forms, BUT because you were there and certain other things I am going to resurrect you someplace else in the world."

I observe, "Someone in the group has an unfullfilled wish with you and you Really can't stand that can you."

She smiles and nods, "Couple of them and yes. I am a wee bit of a perfectionist. Your wish was never completed. Hell you never got the chance to get to any of the 3 locations I had potential persons fitting your desires even in." Turns to John. "Your in the same boat Sir. Your wish was never completed either, thanks to the Outsider interference. And you ladies Did make a wish on that card, At the same time. You were argueing over it on what to wish for while each holding the card. So your wish went through."

We can't really move so my desire to hold up a hand does noting, so I state instead, "Two wishes or one on the card."

The Goddess skips back to me, "2 and very observant of you Robert."

To the girls, "Meaning you each got a wish pending and I am betting being in that prison was interfering with the wish taking place."

The Goddess nods, "Partly true, made Rose's wish a great deal harder cause the first one I sent got eaten. As did the next 2. Never could find you before." she shrugs.

"She is one of those you mentioned to me as an example on romance isn't she ?" And she is back to me, "Very good you are on a roll today." I would shrug if I could but state, "well romance was part of my wish so it kind of fell in to place."

She smiles, "And you were kind of hoping one or both of these ladies were possible canidates." She smiles wider, "They do have some of the qualities you asked for but only about an 60 to 80% match and I tend to want 90% or better in such things. I find the relationships last longer that way." Everyone goes quiet as she got a little glimpse of madness in her eye when she said that. She warns everyone who comes by her, she is a perfectionist. People like that are scary to start with. Give them the Power of a God and it gets a little worse. Me and John look 'skyward at the exact same moment' "Lords and Ladies of Light and Shadow protect us from the Insanity of those who would be gods" , its a quote from a book. I forget the title, but he and I try to grin at each other. Only to see the walls all fall off and the back drop of Stars and Things I really don't remember, to much for my poor mortal mind. But the 'Goddess screamed and she was flattened by an unseen force. Scooped up and dropped in a dumpster, for all effects and purposes.

The Force 'looked at us' then a New more dangerous feeling entity appeared. A being a Pure Balance?. "Hello Children. Nice Prayer there well timed. For that one was quite mad. It had 1 Job, It was supposed to monitor the Cards of Fate and make sure everything was handled properly but somewhere along the line it decided it was a God, and things needed to be done Perfectly. Most imperfect plans came about. She was the largest problem we had with several worlds falling to Absolute Law. But because of the Rules we could do nothing till at least 2 souls asked for help. You two in perfect balance I must say did just that. Thank you. Now we will set things right. Your all are getting your wishes, just maybe not the way She planned. Also giving you all some bonus gifts because we can. Nothing to out there though. I am Perfect Balance after all, I have some things that I can and can't do."

"I think if I could pee myself right now I would. Perfect Balance on a Multiuniversal scale is a bit beyond my pay grade." I say to the room. PB smiles, "A smidge but you at least understand in a basic way what I am. So there is hope for you."
