Chapter Three

'''The next time Keefe awoke, Elwin greeted him- happily- with more drugs. Great. Keefe reluctantly took them and sat propped up on his pillow. '''

'''“You have some visitors,” Elwin said. Keefe glanced at the door wondering just how many people could be waiting out there. '''

'''“Release the Kraken,” Keefe said waving his arms toward the door. Elwin turned the handle and opened the door. A swarm of people came flooding in. Or Keefe wished there were. In reality, all that came through that door was the person he wanted to see the least. '''

'''“Son,” Lord Cassius nodded at Keefe. '''

'''“Lord Daddy,” Keefe said. Lord Cassius scowled but quickly wiped it off his face. '''

'''“I have to tell you something,” Lord Cassius said. There was a moment of silence. '''

'''“Are you going to tell me?” Keefe asked breaking the silence. '''

'''“As soon as the Flasher leaves,” Lord Cassius said waving a hand at Elwin. Elwin scowled- something Keefe had never seen Elwin do- and walked into his office. '''

'''“Go ahead, Daddio!” Keefe emphatically exclaimed. Cassius sat in a chair near Keefe’s cot. He placed his head in his hands. He looked tired and pale. Like he had actually worried about Keefe. Nah, that wasn’t possible. '''

'''“Just before your mother left...to join the Neverseen… she talked to me. About a-a Lodestar or Legacy, and she said that someday I’ll understand. I think she was talking about this. She explained that you would be something great,” Cassius said his voice blurred from his face in his hands. Keefe expected him to go on. '''

'''“So...your saying Mother Dearest wanted you to know she would induce a coma on me with a weird shadowy light thingy?” Keefe said shifting uncomfortably in his cot. He was surprised that this subject made him uncomfortable. '''

'''“I’m saying that she meant for me to know...what was going to happen,” Cassius said looking up at his son. '''

'''“So, what? Do I have an organ problem? Can I light leap without a crystal? I thought up a lot of cool things that could happen to me,” Keefe asked impatiently waiting for his dad to tell him what exactly was going on. '''

“Your mother… made you a… Flasher."
