With fire, there is light.

With fire, there is heat.

The fire within us is ancient.

It has burned for thousands of years.

Our flames can unmake what was formed from hate.

Our ashes allow life to triumph over death.

Those who covet our power will try to seize it for themselves.

Our power must be protected,

for our power will save this world.

Everything happens all at once. I am falling. I am flailing. I am mired in a pool of tar. I am soaring among the stars.

When time is linear, one thing happens after another. When it's not, things get messy!

I brought us here. I wanted to be a leader and my friends followed me to Cloud Gate in downtown Chicago. I have been given an important mission by the Supreme Council. I used to have another job, but now I am the ambassador who will convince the Guardian of Palmara to open the portals linking her realm to ours. I am going to free the magical creatures being held against their will. I failed as a witch's apprentice, but I won't fail again. Will I?

I hear the fear and panic in my friends' voices as the mirrored surface of the bean-shaped sculpture presses us to the ground. We are being flattened against the pavement. We are being sucked into a sticky blackness that stifles our screams. We are floating weightless in a distant galaxy. It can't be happening all at once and yet . . . it is!

I feel frightened. I feel angry. I feel guilty. I led my friends straight into this trap, and I can't do anything to help them.

My stomach sinks with the weight of my shame. Then it lurches as the giant silver bean starts to spin! The treacherous wizard Ol-Korrok cackles as we clamor for help.

Ah, dear guests, you have finally arrived! I have waited for this day for a thousand years. Let me say it again: you . . . are . . . welcome!

Suddenly, there is silence. The spinning sensation stops. I try to breathe, but it feels like
