“The Xenomeninx are wraiths of the machine, created by the ancients as a way of understanding reality, except they unleashed a presence which ultimately destroyed their civilization. In their last days, they left a coded remnant of the Temples of Element, it assisted in our war against the Xenomeninx, our weapons, as primitive as they are, were, as you know have been updated and resigned to accommodate the ability to destroy these quantum beings...”

Gordos also stands bowing to the Erudite Master.

“... Saran D'szn, may hold the key, to the other side. Yet, we cannot travel between the Equilox. Only in our visions. And they are neither, as I've said, a past or future. All is within the time of now.”

Gordos looks at Master Sinal in a curious way. “Does she exist in the parallel Equinox?”

“Maybe, as there is a connection with you and the other world. You recollect from a memory cell of that place in the city. There is a connection there. But it has scared you too.”

“I understand,” Gordos replies.

The Erudite Master nods silently. As Ankil Gordos leaves his meditation chamber.

“What a story,” Damyn says to himself, placing the manuscript onto his lap he looks around at the artwork again, eyeing a single framed piece. Standing, he tucks the collection of typed papers under his left arm, walking towards the image which he has eyed, lifting it up. Damyn walks back out to the entrance of the storage locker, carrying the single, bubble wrapped, framed print, gently placing it against the outside wall, he leans into the narrow area and takes the chair he was sitting on out from the storage area. Sitting back down onto the chair, he lifts up his phone, dialing the Garrison Gallery number.

“Good afternoon Garrison Galley.”
