They take to the sky. Looking back and down they see that the battlefield is quickly become secured, with the troops pulling pack on both sides and the Frenchmen in each group being taken into custody. There also appears to be much excitement on the Egyptian side over the return of General Orabi.

She replies, "Neither or all. The future is indeed mutable, what you see here is the probable future based upon events as they now stand. You, and others, remain to exercise your free will. And, of course, I am not the only deity with the gift of prophecy, and others way wish to alter the paths of mortals. Yes, I could give you the specific information that could theoretically stop the Great War. But if I did, then one of the Gods of War may seek to counter my intervention, which would draw the attention of other deities who might then intervene. So what would be the result? A war between the gods fought here on your world? I sincerely doubt you would wish such a thing."
George shakes himself out of his musings. "Thank you Goddess, for your visions. I am sure in time I will understand them. For now though, what can I do. I have already had enough scotch, I am a man of action, of discovery. I need to move and accomplish something constructive."
She says, "The only understanding that I wish is for you to see why I would not allow you to sacrifice yourself to bring me here. I am indeed grateful that you were willing to do so, but your absence from this world would have had negative effects.
The Cat statue that you have, keep it with you, and through it I will help to protect you. And remember to pass it on to your son. Major Eastman will need all the help he can get during that battle over France that you just saw him flying into, where he will face Germany's greatest aviator."
Location #2 - On the flying carpet, around five miles north of Gizah (Ruby, Abby, Mina, Lt. Col. Hassan and Neferka, with Freya flying alongside with the unconscious Daguerre and Chevruel)
Abby tried valiantly for a moment to fight it, then finally gave in and laughed long and uncontrollably. She finally got herself under control and nodded toward the dirigible. "I wonder what they know that we don't. I'm sure they'll let us know when they get back."
Mina says, "I spotted your friend Callum at the controls. He appeared to be wearing a French Foreign Legion uniform."
Ruby laughs ""We'll, that's better than having one of our enemies at the helm! We're having enough problems without adding any other surprises.
Abby shook her head and chuckled. "Chevruel and Daguerre had to be going somewhere. Maybe they got wind of it. Curious as I am, we need to get the Princess to her coronation."
They quickly pass to the east of Heliopolis, continuing southward and crossing over the Nile not far from where the American warship the Franklin Pierce is docked, the French Dreadnaught's gondola still lashed to its upper deck. The Pyramids at Gizah can be seen five miles to the southwest.
Ruby says, "I don't think we are too far from our destination now. We should get going."
Location #3 - Aboard the remaining Dirigible at Heliopolis, ten miles north of Gizah (Lawrence and Callum).
The balloon lowers, and lines are dropped from the gondola. The trio of young French wizards grab the lines and tie them to the dock as the balloon descends until the gondola rests along the edge of the dock. One of the men comes forwards and asks "Where is Chevruel? He said that he would be retrieving us!"
Lawrence replies in fluent French "Chevruel sent us. He had to deal with the princess and her allies. We'll take you to him."
The three men board. Two men stay towards the back of the small gondola, keeping to themselves. The other is more outgoing and says, "Chevruel indicated that we need to remove Meissonier's body without being seen as soon as we get to Gizah. That will be a lot harder to do without him and Daguerre. Are you men prepared to assist us?"
Lawrence shrugs and says, "Chevruel said to help you, so that's what we're going to do. N'est-ce pas?" He gives a sideways glance to Callum.
The man says, "Excellent." He gestures to Callum, who is piloting the craft, and says, "Our arrival on this airship will be quite visible, so we'll leave him at the controls and I will do the talking. We'll need the other three of you to consume an Elixir of Invisibility before our arrival and sneak off this vessel. Once you locate Meissonier's body, one of my colleagues has an Elixir of Destruction that will totally dissolve all organic matter. Just make sure the body is on top of either sand or stone rather than wood when you use it."
Lawrence nods. He says, "Where is the elixir? Just in case I need to use it." He gestures to one of the other Frenchmen and says, "Charles Richet has it."
"Merci." Lawrence goes over to Richet. "Monsieur Richet. Can you show me this potion of destruction? I have never heard of such a thing before." Richet draws the bottle from a pocket of his robe. "Ah, such power from a little bottle." Lawrence nods and returns to the wheel. He looks around for a bottle that resembles the elixir. Unfortunately there are none on the small dirigible.

She smiles at Ruby and replies, "Well yes Ruby, you can assist me with the coronation."
