Mr. Shadow’s office

Outside of time and space

“Sir we have a problem with the candidate.” Mr. shadow was communicating with his boss. “Our predictions show that while he will be able to complete our task, he won’t be completely under our control at that time.”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“Ah, that pesky free will again, I told you this would happen. Well, you were the one to choose this candidate, I assume you have you suggestions of how to solve this problem?”

“Well we’ve been working on a solution but it’s going to take some time. One of the suggestions is a complete reset with better controls on the subject like a system or a mentor-type that doles out skills and powers to our benefit. Another is to find some mystical sounding reason to nerf the subject’s growing powers so that he will be more malleable and grateful to us later. Regardless of what we eventually chose, the analysis of the different choices will take some time to complete.”

“So be it. Even if we weren’t outside of time right now we are immortal we have the time to waste. Contact me when you have the results ready”
