Isabella defends herself, “Mr. Steins had become too clever! He figured out in his subtle ways how to take our power from us! The evil kept growing strong within him! Our abilities to stop him became unmatched, having no chance of stopping him! We were in such despair. We could not keep up with this Evil he now possessed!” But weakness fills her as she looks into his eyes with despair.

Ethan apologizes, “Isabella, I’m sorry!” He could feel all the hopelessness around them now. He feels like he needs to protect her somehow as he pulls her into his arms.

The Eye steps-in speaking, “The past is the past! We cannot change what is done! The Present is now! The time we should live and make a new path for our future!” And this relieves the darkness from within them.

Ethan takes a deep breath and speaks, “Yes! You’re right. It’s a new day. A day we can change our stars for all to see, and we have the chance to help guide them to a better tomorrow!” Now he looks into Isabella’s eyes, hoping to find that bright shimmer that would shine within her for their new future.

Isabella states, “I agree!” As she finds herself smiling back at Ethan, and starts where she left off, saying, “So, now, we are at where we felt humans would hold anger within their hearts, and this could cloud their minds from making good decisions. We needed a gift that would soothe the human’s heart, so it could be able to see the logic in their decisions. They needed something to bring them Peace! So, A Peace Maker was given, one that could help the human, see that there are two sides to each story. It would allow them to see beyond their anger and help them in finding compassion for one another again. To bring harmony towards one another that is needed for the greater good.” Ethan interrupts, saying, “That was John Slate! He was a Peace Maker!”

Isabella states, “You’re right, Ethan!”

Ethan then asks, “How did Mr. Steins capture him?”
