Thatix tried to figure out what was going on. Mere minutes ago she had been in the forest where she had died, only she was not dead any more because now she was made of fireflies, because that is what happens when you die perhaps. But she was here now and how had she got from the one place to the other? She shrugged it off. Did it even matter any more? That was then and this was now, and right here and now she was here and she had to deal with it. She stopped her incessant spinning, and reformed an approximate human form of herself out of habit. In front of her was a large town comprised of looming buildings with lots of windows. There was a pathway winding it's way through the city. It looked like it would be a long way down if she fell, which was okay because she was fireflies now and fireflies can't fall, or if they can then they just fly back up and everything is fine. So that was where she was. Great. It didn't really help her in figuring out what was going on but brilliant. What a nice place. She couldn't wait to get in there and do whatever it was that she was supposed to be doing. It was only as she watched a woman wearing a thick scarf, that she remembered that there were other people here as well. Yes she had been introduced to all of them. She swapped back to the swirling cloud and tried to remember where she had seen them all before.
Then it clicked! These were her enemies: the Council of Elders! She mentally chastised herself for not remembering sooner. Everything made sense now. The Council of Elders had discovered that she had come back from the dead and they had been scared that given time she would reacquire the support she had had, and that she would once again challenge them to rule the land of Itharia (although to be fair to the Council that was what she had been planning on doing), and in order to stop her they had teleported her here, to settle the score once and for all. In Thatix's fragmented mind the details had juxtaposed. Her scattered memories of the council that had stood against her were replaced with images of her opponents, and she would never know the difference. Thatix reformed into her approximate human shape. The Council was sadly mistaken if they believed that their tricks and surprises could best her. In truth this confrontation had been inevitable, and all the Council had done was hasten their own demise. Before this day was out she would rule Itharia.
