She felt herself going through the orange energy, and it remained with her as she entered Venus’s green light. She felt magnetic and heavy; she almost thought she wouldn’t make it to Mars. Finally at Mars, she felt stimulated and primal. This time she was certain that she would not only reach her center, but she would Rise.

She rushed toward the purple haze of Jupiter; its peaceful vibe calmed her. She fell through Jupiter to Saturn and then arose in the bright blue stream from Uranus; she had entered the outer realm. The planets Uranus and Neptune , they were the true managers of her psychic powers,.

She bowed down to them and then jumped into Pluto’s realm. She felt so light. She looked at her hands; they were no longer solid. She was disintegrating. She was no longer Memphis. She was a star child; her parents were the planets, and she was home. She became nothing.

When she awoke, she saw everyone standing above her. She smiled at them. Her Rise was amazing, and she finally knew her purpose on Earth.

They didn’t smile back.

Sarai shook her head. “I was afraid of that. We have to go home and prepare. We have to save him and find the Text before they do.”

“
All right. So, we’re going back to your loft?” Memphis had to get out of the itchy robe and find her twin.

“
No, I said
home
,” Sarai corrected her, taking her by the shoulders. She then turned to Virgil, Lawrence, and Gabriella. “We have to return to Zarzora. We’ll leave tonight.”
