Fate led to no singular destination. One had many possible fates, a vast web
of opportunity and misfortune traveled by way of decision. Some strings
drew people together, others led them apart. Many stretched long, while
many more were unfortunately cut short.
Generally, these strings would be left to weave the fabric of reality
unseen and undisturbed. Once an eon, however, threads tended to run
astray, and an earthbound individual would be granted sight in order to
reweave this delicate tapestry through action. Through guidance and
conversation, by being at the right place at the right time.
Not all strings were visible at all times, and it was impossible to discern
the precise ends and crossroads to which they may lead. Pull too hard, and
the whole thing could come unraveled. But with a delicate hand, wayward
strings could be corrected. Balance restored.
One such string had led Hikaru Ritsuo to Lillidale Park. It stretched on
ahead of him, shimmering faintly as the earliest hints of daybreak cast the
world in monochrome. And waiting at the end was a portly man on a bench.
His waxed cotton jacket had been dusted in snow, his bulbous nose
reddened by the cold.
Hikaru halted under the cone of lamplight, leather driving glove
scrunching around the lacquered handle of his cane—carved into the shape
of a lion’s bust. “Unusual for you to call on me in the small hours. Should I
be worried, Clive?”
Clive Gardner, Chief of the Hildegrand Police Department. Their
strings had become entwined over two decades prior, when Gardner had
been assigned as his training officer. Together they’d weathered many a
storm, the greatest of all being the Reemergence—the event that ended
Hikaru’s policing career, and set him on the path to become headmaster of
the world’s first magic academy and emergency response unit.
“This makes us even,” grumbled the man, slugging back a dose of
caffeine from his piping paper cup. Shy a full eight hours rest, no amount of
coffee could remedy his mood. He indicated the drink tray between them as
Hikaru lowered himself to the bench. “Got your tea. Sorry I couldn’t get it
in one of those tiny china cups you like so much.”
There was a falter in his teasing remark that forewarned of grim tidings,
and when Hikaru lifted his own cup from the tray, he noted an abnormal
protrusion on the bottom. Hard, rectangular, crinkling at his touch.
A flash drive taped to the cup’s concave underside.
He set it in his lap. “Clive, why have you asked me here?”
Gardner stared across the park. “We’re being taken off the case. Got an
order to relinquish all files to the National Guard. Evidence logs, victim
statements, interrogation transcripts . . .” Those must’ve been the
documents on the flash drive. “Do with that what you will. This is as far as
I go.”
