Thinking it over once again, Darla decides to not show or tell Tony about the note. It hadn’t been hidden – scrunched up into a ball and tossed into the closet more likely – so, probably nothing important. Heck, Darla has read about the time someone wrote a poem when they were asleep (in between? Something like that) and don’t remember it. Could be the same case with Taylor and, presumably, if it was a one-time thing, she could just not mention it.
That and Darla doesn’t want to admit to snooping through Taylor’s room. So, if it comes to it, she can bring it up another time.
‘Yeah, let’s go with that.’ Darla thinks as Tony scoots closer to her and the ‘study date’ begins…

In the commune, there was joy and excitement. The avatar of their goddess has been found, so quick too! Many had dreamed of the day she would be found and it has finally come.

Denice walks into the office to see Clarice working on some papers, “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t we be getting ready to go and meet the avatar?”

“You don’t think I want to go there as fast as possible and meet her myself? I do! But we can’t just go there all and bow to her and refer to her as the avatar of our goddess!”
“Why not?!”
“For one, what if Tanya is right and she doesn’t know of her power, meaning all that was done had been subconscious? Second, how would you feel if a group of women just arrived and started bowing right before you? She could erase us from existence if we make a too hasty move. No, what needs to be done is building bonds.”
“Bonds?”
“Since the avatar if dating the sister of Dana’s friend, she can get some alone time and make some girl time to get on her good side.”
“And if the avatar already knows about us?”
“Well, that depends on what she does then. But Dana’s missions is now such. So, right now, just keep the lid on what is going on and continue with the routine. Dana is to update us in a weeks’ time.”
Denice grunted, unhappily, before leaving, “Fine. But I think this is not the right choice to make.”
Clarice stared at the translated documents of the events describing absolute destruction that may be relevant to the goddess, “Hopefully…hopefully...”
