“That is my story, little one.” Isis pats me on top of my head. She stands up and starts walking around. “Wow, that was a long story. I need to do some stretches.” I get up as well and look at the large bunny. I asked,” What was the point of the story? Learning about your history was a fun experience, but did you have a point in doing it?” Isis hops in place, she looks over and says, “Yes, little one. Come over here and get ready to run with me. Start stretching.” I am bored, so I did as she said. I stretch my body like rex taught me. “Good, good. She taught you well. little how many laps should we do?” I just remember that i am supposed to be training with my little brother. I wonder if we were past the time limit? I stop stretching and say, “We should go back. They are waiting for us. if we aren’t late, we will be.” Isis laughs, ”Little one therefore I told you my story. You are on the right path. Do not let anyone tell you your destiny. The moment you were born was the moment that you could control your own destiny.” I tilt my head, “What do you mean?”

She giggles. “Run with me, little one.” She hops to the starting line, and I followed behind. She takes off at jogging speed. I felt a disappointed, I wanted to run around. At this speed, it might not even get my heart rate up. Isis turns her head towards me and laughs, “I swear if I didn’t know any better, I would think you are the shadow’s daughter.” I glare at the rabbit. She laughs again. “Little one, the shadow acts a lot like you. I know you have seen some of his past but it wasn’t the whole history. I have seen his entire history. That young, shy young man was just a stage in his life. The years after the death of Chris, the shadow became way more confident. The shadow you see now is because he has won many battles against stronger opponents and him running around the universe for a while. He is like you and me, we excitement in our lives. Look at you, you want to run at full speed even now. You want to move at full speed you want your heart to pump. This is how the shadow lives. That shy person you saw was just a shell and now it is his actual personality like I said before. Heck before I don’t think you want to get injured into you came into this place. You are not like the rest. No one on the planet would have responded the way you did when your brother got shot. The shadow would have. Well, that isn’t true. The shadow would have tried to punch the bullet out of the air.” She gives a little laugh. I turn my head and run. Isis easily catches up to me. “I am sorry little one. I didn’t mean to upset you. Ok, I will tell you about your destiny. The three of us, the shadow, Anansi, and me, we can see the future.” I turn my head to the giant rabbit.

“How, are you guys able to see the future?” Isis sped up; She was going a little slower than my fastest running speed. It took me a moment to catch up to her. “Little one, what if I told you I can see all the atoms in the universe?” The question stun me and I stop in my tracks. “I have no idea, is that even possible?” She laughs at my question and says, “You are looking at a godlike being, little one. Well, you can even call me a god, because I created and maintained a universe before. Not only that, but any universe I enter I can see how all the atoms move from the beginning of that universe to the moment I enter it. With that knowledge, I can predict the future with 100% accuracy. Now, there are places where the atoms are actual chaotic but those are rare phenomena. Sometimes it can be control like in this place. Within this ship, the atoms are chaotic; I am using my vast power so my ship can be unpredictable. There is no fun in a universe in which you know everything that will happen.” Well, that answer one of my questions. “So, like the rest of you I can control the atoms in my surroundings and because of that change my destiny.”

Isis trembles, “Wait a second. I need to show this to two people.” Isis turns around and disappears. Um, why did she leave like that? Was she angry at my answer? Wait, a minute; She wasn’t angry. I think she was holding in laughter. As I was trying to figure out what was going on, laughter rang throughout the room. The laughter seems to come from the outside. I walk to a wall and press my ear against the steal. The laughter was coming from the walls themselves. The entire ship was laughing. But something was wrong. I can hear three different voices from the laughter. The laughters calm down but after a brief pause it start up again even louder. Now, I hear people banging their hands on a table laughing even harder. It took a few moments before Isis came back. I can see tears running down her eyes. “I’m sorry little one. No, you cannot manipulate the atoms around like we can. The shadow is your progeny and because of this the world around you is chaotic.” I sit down because this was hurting my brain and I don’t see the reason for all of this. “Little one, you don’t have to worry about all of this just know you control your own destiny. Don’t let the shadow or anyone tells you what to do. The shadow wants you to make a leader and fight in a war. You don’t have to do it. There is no way to know if you winning this war is a good or bad thing. You didn’t start this war you are only a little kid. The shadow and Anansi can’t determine your life. They don’t know the future. Therefore they are having this little bet. Your opponent might not be a bad leader. If the shadow and Anansi didn’t put things into motion, he might have made the world a better place. Yes, your people might still be slaves but a generation or two later the slavery system would be they left over guy in charge.”

Ugh, I knew it. I didn’t need to fight ugh. Sounds like our god and the shadow made a mess of things but why? “Isis why didn’t they let even play out?” Isis sighs, “The shadow is like a little kid and wants things done now and he is very tunnel vision. Anansi thinks a bit to logical and plan things way into the future, but sometimes he misses the smaller things that can cause catastrophic failure. Now, with saying that he is right 99% of the time. There was a reason he gives you and your brother these powers.” Learning this new information isn’t something I can handle. But it does seems I have a way out. “Isis what should I do?” She looks directly into my eyes and says, “Fight in this war. Not because you want to free the fairy race not because your world would disintegrate not because it is the right thing to do. Fight because fighting is fun. I can see a lot of you in me. You are a warrior at heart, you might not see it now but trust me. After your first battle. You will want more. Fighting will become second nature to you. Wait, you don’t have to trust me, just train for a month.” I look at Isis and turn my head. No way would I ever want to fight.
