I Knew Him

Soul Gem bitterly smiled as he couldn't do much about it anyway. "Sigh... alright, senior Kafan, alright. You were correct. Roan's presence truly sped things up by a lot. His experience did make things easier for Rean in the end. They even became great friends."

Roan's mouth twitched. Great friends? Was it okay to lie that blatantly? Roan couldn't hate Rean more than he does now... Well, he wasn't in the mood to waste time correcting Soul Gem either, so he said nothing.

"Now I understand why my Master knew about the system. It at least makes me a little more assured of our safety on this side of the Universe," said Roan. "By the way, Soul Gem, Kafan said that he has some kind of deal with the Vruves, who are using Pseudo-Temporal Paths to get to this side. Do you know anything about that?"

Soul Gem looked at Kafan. "Is it still like that?"

"Yes," Kafan nodded. "We need it."
