Chapter 25 Part 4

Uziel sat thoughtfully. "What do you mean by you place no constraints on reality?"

"I mean to say I do not mentally represent reality. I let it be whatever it is, and if I need it to do something I ask it. That is how I was able to "hack" Inner Sanctum. No security protocol is enough to keep the universe out. One need only work in harmony with the universe, and the universe works in harmony with them."

Rei started to laugh a little harder. "So basically, Rogue, you are saying we three are special and are going to save the world, and you are some kind of magician?"

The Rogue smiled at Rei. "I haven't gotten to the part where you save the world yet. That's optional. It'd be more accurate to say you have the opportunity to save the world, whether or not you act on it remains to be seen. As to whether I am a magician or not, well, if I am not mistaken you are the one getting messages on billboards and having conversations with long disbelieved Gods such as Cerberus. It seems to me that you are all ready in a state such that you can make some incredible claims. I think mine are far more modest than yours, actually, but no less true."

Sal finally interjected, "Whatever this man is or isn't, one thing that I can tell you is that he has not lied so far. I believe everything he has said, after the experiences I have had."

Rei turned to Sal with a scowl on her face. "You were gone only for a few moments, Sal. Now you suddenly believe everything this man says?"

Uziel looked on tranquilly. Sal answered Rei firmly and looked intensely into her eyes. "Yes." was his only reply. After a long pause he added, "It was not just a few moments for me."
