Intro: Ann Gerthy

Training with Kai ended early today. After a swordfight that drew very little blood, he decided that I'm ready to move on to bigger and better teachers. I couldn't believe what he was saying. There would be no more lessons.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I need to go correct the timeline."

"You're going into the past? I wanna come too!" I said, giggling. I hated it when he left on his timeline-fixing trips. I was just a fourteen year old girl, and he was the closest thing to a father i had.

"No." He said. That was his answer, every time.

"But I wanna see my father!" I whined. I had grown up being told that my father died when i was two. Wasn't sure if there was any truth to it. My mother, Lianna, always acted funny when he was mentioned. But the way she smiled afterward made my member stir slightly.

"Absolutely not. Your father was crazy." Kai said. Sure, Fen Ixx was insane. But the name "Ann Gerthy-Ixx" never felt right. Ixx didn't feel right. And it wouldn't feel right until I met Fen Ixx face to face. We argued for a good fifteen minutes.

"Fine." I said, growing angry. "Go on another of your trips without me. I don't know what kind of fucking apprentice I am, with all..." I trailed off, sighed, and started walking away. Kai drew his sword, and stood on it, meditating. A purplish portal opened, and seemed to envelope him. I threw myself at him, landing practically in his lap. Somehow, we didn't fall off the sword. The room around us twisted, distorted, and blurred, before becoming a much newer, cleaner version of itself. I looked around to find a calendar up on the wall behind us. We'd gone back in time fifteen years.
