The Other Power

The organization had been created to fulfill this operation, so Amal took his job very seriously. With the fulfillment of this operation the Gatagos would be in possession of two of the three powers, ending their stalemate with the Others. They had taken great pains to shield this particular operation from the sight of the Others. He knew that this shielding wasn’t completely foolproof, because there were times in the lives of the Others when their powers were temporarily multiplied. Still these were rare, occurring once or twice in a decade, and could not be directed. The chances of discovery were slim to none.

Gatagos had waited for a long time for the third power to condense into a form that they would be able to control and replicate. And he would be the one to carry it out! He would have the location of the power, and the person it was lodged in soon, and then he might very well be the first to receive this new power, as a reward for finding it.

He couldn’t help but smile.
