[David Lance POV]
Goal in mind, I used my rings to try and locate all the lanterns in the known universe, but as hard as I tried, nothing came. Meaning I was either being blocked from getting that information, or there were no lanterns left.
The latter of the two seemed very unlikely so that only left option A, the lanterns were hiding from me.
Which was a very reasonable decision on their part, considering that the last time we ever saw each other I had no qualms about tearing them apart.
In any case, this complicated things a little bit. After all, if I couldn't find the Lanterns then how in hell would I recruit them for this?
It's not like I had a way to locate them without the rings. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
I didn't but I knew someone who did.
Wioska.
Her ability to sense Ki meant she could locate individuals with ease across the universe.
"I guess I'm recruiting Wioska into this."
I have a feeling this won't be fun for me, at all. I foresee a lot of pain in my very near future.
----------------------------------------------------------
"That's something you'll have to figure out on your own and believe me, you will figure it out, eventually," Wioska said, giving me a comforting smile. "Now, let's get started."
I had no idea what she meant by that, but I had no time to question her motives or goals, I had a war to win and little time to make with.

[Raven/Rachel Roth - POV]
Lucifer had transported us to a place within a mountain, and upon entering, it was almost overwhelming how much mana lay in front of me.
It was different than anything I had ever felt.
Runes were inscribed into the walls, reflecting an archaic language; enchantments seemed to sparkle in the air, flooding the atmosphere with life.
"What brings you two here?" A voice spoke, getting my attention.
"Obviously not the decor," Lucifer replied.
Ignoring Lucifer, I turned to the one who had spoken one, it was an old man, weathered by time but with a glint in his eyes that revealed a knowledge far beyond what I could perceive.
Instinctively, I knew he was not native to this realm, his attunement to the arcane was impossible to achieve as a mortal.
This strange being sat upon a chair as if he were holding court amongst us; behind him were two statues made of stone that appeared to fiercely guard him, whether they were real or just illusions I couldn't tell.
"Are you the wizard Shazam?" I asked.
"No, he's just an ordinary old man living inside of a cave without an entrance or an exit Of course he is Shazam," Lucifer sighed, rolling his eyes a bit as he took a step forward. "The name is Lucifer Morningstar, the pleasure is all yours."
The old man chuckled. "Excuse this old man, but aren't you a bit too qualified for whatever is happening?"
"Thank you for noticing, it's nice to be acknowledged, seeing as someone can't accept my lingerie expertise help!" Lucifer replied, giving me a side look.
"I ok, so, what brings you here young lady?" Shazam asked, seeming a bit confused now.
"The world needs Shazam, now more than ever," I replied.
