    ... Rena started to speak, when the door opened, the first master entering.
    
    "I think, mate, that you should tell her all, before we lose her. Like us, she does not like being lied to," Rena said.
    
    "I will tell her what I can..." The first master started.
    
    "No, she is not a stupid little girl, tell her or this might be the end of us," Rena said.
    
    The first master could only shake his head, he'd forgotten just how strong his mate was.
    
    "You know that..." the first master tried again.
    
    "Let me put it this way mate, you tell her or I will," Rena said.
    
    The first master's shoulders slumped as he nodded to his mate, who had her arms crossed over her chest.
    
    After taking a deep breath, the master started. "Some of our history you obviously know. A thousand years ago, a plague had started to decimate the population. One hundred ninety-eight of us learned to transmute into energy. We tried desperately to teach the rest of the planet, we failed." Here the first master lowered his head.
    
    "I know it is hard my mate, please continue," Rena said softly.
    
    "In the last days, we were encouraged by Flugret and his mate as they were able to partially transmute. For eight of your centuries, they existed between both phases. Never quite energy nor were they solid. Two centuries ago, we were finally able to integrate them into the Chrysalis. Though, as you know, their memories of that time seemed to be wiped," the first master said.
    
    "Yes, your mate explained this to me. ...
    ... I have been working on a way to repair whatever damage was done," Wren said.
    
    "You have to understand, Flugret and his mate managed to keep all of us safe. He would occasionally have to bring some of us out. The time was never long, as we had become dependent upon the Chrysalis. I was the only master that was able to last longer than the others, though this nearly killed me," the first master said.
    
    "Now I take it, you can be out for many hours?" Wren asked.
    
    "This is because of you little Wren. Before we all went into the Chrysalis, a seer, I guess you'd say, saw something. A female of another race would sacrifice herself to save us. We obviously have no desire for you to perish. All this time we have tried to accomplish some other way, to no avail," the first master said.
    
    "You might also notice that the air is different now. As I started to explain before, the planet's power was unbalanced. This was because only the males were able to be out. With the addition of myself and Tiane, you might feel that things feel better, though we do need a few more females out to truly balance things.
    
    Wren looked from the females to the first master, then back. "OK, not sure if I am this saviour that you have described, but I will try all that I can. I will also do my best not to die, OK?"
    
    "We are not asking anything more. The fact that the two strongest females are out has given us a great deal of hope," the second master said, having entered while the story was being ...
