Part 12
By: Ben Christensen

Jenny stood in the park. The trees were turning colors for the season and she couldn’t think of a more beautiful image. A purple leaf flew past her face, she followed it’s path until something caught her eye and she let the leaf continue alone.

Off in the distance were a number of marble tables in the shade. A couple of people were sitting at one and playing a card game. Walking to one of the tables, she inserted her ident-card in the slot.

“Deck” She said aloud, commanding the computer to generate a physical copy of her registered deck of cards. On the blank table, a simple square grid pattern appeared. Activating a holographic display, she selected her opening pieces and their positions on the grid.

Then she waited. The icon allowing her to start the game was unusable at this time, she couldn’t play without an opponent. Among pop-up advertisements, a small window alerted her to the option of selecting a computer opponent. She declined the offer. She knew it would only be a matter of time before they arrived.

“You weren’t allowed to shift” a voice says from behind her. Turning around, Jenny sees the form of Knowledge. In this place he was an older man with a long beard and a digital tattoo.

“I should have known it would be you.” Jenny thought about that sentence for a moment. “Pun unintended, but funny.”

“You were told not to shift. That the crown was only on that world.” Knowledge said as he sat at the chair opposite Jenny. He inserted a ident-card and commanded the computer to generate his deck.

“I’m still there. Right now.” Jenny said with a smile. “I’ve just hit the raptor and at the same time I’ve already found the crown on your spy’s finger. Everything is symbolic.”

A young man arrived at the table, forcing the technology to generate a chair for him and converting the once square table to a triangular form. The man inserts his card and generates a deck.

“Hello you two. Glad to see Jenny is still spewing random facts.”

“Hello Johnny.” Jenny said. “And my facts are far from random.”

“Whatever. Are we going to play?” Johnny said as he selected his starting pieces and positions on the now strangely shaped gaming grid. Each person had their own starting grid, but since they were tree in number, the triangle formed in the middle was filled with odd shapes. To be honest, they all loved that aspect of the game.

“We’ve already been playing, and we’ve already finished.” Jenny said, giggling as she did so. Since Jenny had sat at the table first, it was her game to begin.

She moved her Vanity Piece one step forward. It was the same move she’d always done, mostly because it was the first move that there were few other options.

Knowledge’s turn was next, he placed one of his cards face down on the table and moved a couple of his pieces on the board one step closer to the middle ground of the grids. “Was all of this worth it, Jenny? People have been killed, realities are unanswered, and we’re forced to once again play your game.”

Taking another card from his hand, Knowledge places it face up on his moved pieces. They promptly disappear.

“All for the want of a nail. So to speak.” Knowledge added as he ended his turn.

Johnny drew a card from his deck and put it with the rest of his hand. He took a look at his pieces and the board in general. Making a get sound of annoyance, he tapped a control on the table. “I’ve got nothing yet. Jenny, it’s your move.” he said.

Jenny drew a card and played it on her Espionage Piece, making it invisible. On her command display, she selected where she wanted it to end it’s move, making sure that her opponents couldn’t tell what she was doing.

“You try to find something to do in the valley when it’s raining.” Jenny said. She ended her turn. Knowledge played a card face down on his side of the table and quickly ended his turn.

Johnny drew a card and almost yelped with excitement. “Hawk-eyed soldier!” he said as he placed the card face up on the table. “Jenny, where’s your hidden piece?” Responding to his selection, the table revealed Jenny’s Espionage Piece to be one space into the center of the grids. Johnny placed one of his cards on top of Jenny’s piece. “Bound by law, your piece is imprisoned.”

“I hate being imprisoned” Jenny said as she moved more of her pieces and played a couple of escape cards to allow her to move into the center of the grid.

With the day passing around them, the three opponents played their game. Jenny had a sense of urgency within her play. She didn’t see the pieces as simply holographic images, and for that reason she was saddened when she had to loose a number of them to Knowledge’s attack squads.

Johnny played his simple attacks and didn’t bat an eye as he lost piece after piece. He had something more on the horizon, Jenny could tell. When he was knocked from the game for a number for turns, he didn’t seem all that mad about it.

But for the moment, Knowledge was her true threat. He forced her into a tangent zone of the board where she had to climb a difficult maze of his design. She was near the top, forcing her way through his Darquin pieces and his lock down cards. She’d been here before, somewhere else, and she knew that everything after the purple leaf had been leading to these next set of moves. She didn’t like the cards in her hand, but she was going to have to pull through.

These symbols were more than just symbolic.

“It’s your turn, Jenny.” Knowledge said. Jenny took the only card she could think to play and put it on the table.

“Weak Minded Fool.” Jenny said. She pointed to the face down card Knowledge set on the table in his first turn. “I want to know what you’re hiding.”

The table flipped over the card so that they could all read that it was an “Avatar: Spy” card. On Jenny’s side of the table, one of her pieces started to change. It had been the Wisdom Piece, now it was clearly one of Knowledge’s pieces. Jenny wasn’t happy.

“I knew you must have had a spy. Forcing me to stay where I was, telling me lie after lie.” She said.

“Well obviously it didn’t work. We are here after all, instead of where I wanted you.” Knowledge said, annoyed that his clever idea had failed.

Jenny moved her Telekombateur Piece and took Knowledge’s spy with it. She played a card allowing her to move again. She placed her piece at the end of the maze with a strong sense of conviction.

“Queen me, you bastard.” She said. A gold crown appeared on her piece, allowing her freedom across the board.

“Well played, Jenny.” Knowledge said as he placed his entire deck on the table, signaling his forfeit. “But I grow tired of this lengthy second act. Let us move to the endgame and stop playing around with these... symbols.”

“Whenever you’re ready, Knowledge.” Jenny said as her opponent faded from this reality.

She looked over to Johnny, who had been in his own little world since being forced to do nothing in the game for so long. He finally looked over and realized that Jenny had won.

“Well?” Jenny asked. “Any threats from you?”

Johnny smiled. He stood up and walked over to Jenny. “Only one” he said.

He leaned over and kissed her on the head. “You’ll never see me coming” he said as he started to shift.

Jenny watched as he left this reality. Alone again in the park, she removed the crown from her piece. It was a small circle of metal that was no bigger than a normal ring. Placing it on her left middle finger, she shut down the table and stood up.

“You’ll have to catch me first.” She said as she entered the infinite.
