Goodeman looked at his watch. They should all be here any second now. The invitation to this dinner party at the Harrison Hotel, a Five Star Hotel had been sent out to three score and ten people from around the world. Each "winner" would receive no less than ten million dollars. During the dinner, there would be music, as if from a concert. Not something very loud and grizzly like Death Metal, more like old time music like Bach, Classical music and other such soothing tones. Goodeman loved them all. Of course, if someone insisted he might play something light and much more recent. Enya, Dido, Lorena McKinnett, before returning to the older music.<br/><br/>The time would come that, after two hours, they would face their "Awakening". Five of their past lives would awaken within their minds, sharing one person's spirit, the five souls would grant him or her all of their power. Most Awakenings were with minor incidents. A quirk of character, or something strange occurring with their personalities. Nothing dramatic, for the most part. But Goodeman remembered the horrifying portals opening up in the world, and in the stars. The Malignatis. Portals opening from Nihil Space, the dimension which even the Incarnae feared. The Incarnae, greater than Earth gods, the manifestations of power throughout the multiverse.<br/><br/>Malignatis was draining the Incarnae very slowly of their soul energy. Incarnae feared that all the people everywhere, regardless of their origin, would face eternal torment as an eventual reality because of these portals. It had to be stopped.
