You see we didn’t meet in the flesh. We never did. He came to me. Gwella made the same choice that Abner made, although in Gwella’s case it was a mistake. It was right for Abner but for Gwella it was a repeat of a previous decision that was no longer what was needed in the grand scheme of things. You see, Gwella had three choices. He could die and become the next Death. Two he could repeat the pattern of ascension that Abner chose. It was a good choice for Abner but not for Gwella. The third choice was the best choice for all. It was to come back from the ascension experience. Mika woke from the dream glad that she was in a body and Gwella was lying next to her.
