But even as the big Hybrid carried her away in his arms, she had a tiny, niggling worry left in the back of her mind. Was the Eye of Ten’gu still safely hidden in the shadows of the Hell’s Gate station? Had the trouble and destruction it had been prophesied to bring truly been averted?
Surely it has, Penny told herself. Stop worrying about it now—don’t be silly.
And she did her best to put it out of her mind as she snuggled against V’rex and breathed in his warm scent, dreaming of their family-to-be.
Epilogue
Somewhere in the cold and distant space of the Yown System, an evil finger was reaching. The Cruel Father's plans had been disrupted…but not completely destroyed. Though the Eye of his Scion floated in the blackness beneath the space station where no sun shone, the Cruel Father knew how to proceed.
Searching through the space debris which always accumulate around any spaceport, he found a bright, shiny silver door, blown from a space craft a hundred cycles before. His long finger, reaching from another universe, curled around the door and maneuvered it into position to catch the rays of the Yown System's yellow dwarf sun.
As a ray of brilliant sunlight struck the shiny silver surface, the finger tilted it carefully until it reflected the ray into the shadows, gathered like bats beneath the Hell's Gate Station. And just as the Cruel Father had planned, the single ray of sun pierced the darkness and struck its target—the Eye of Ten'gu.
The Eye shivered and then the gold and blue facade cracked and split open. Beneath its beautiful surface, a new eye was now visible—a blood-red eye, filled with malice and wreathed in flames.
"Father," came a voice as cold as space itself. "Tell me your bidding."
Deep in the shadows of his universe, the Cruel Father smiled.
His Scion had awakened and there would be all Seven Hells to pay.
The End?
Of course not!
There’s always more Kindred to come!
