Charity O'Dare; Tarot
PLOT:
People across the world begin seeing multiple Earths in the sky and different timelines begin overlapping on Earth. In Opal City, Tarot has been taken in by Charity O'Dare. Tarot shows Charity a vision of a woman in prehistoric times who 'feels' the world around here. When this woman is killed by her husband, her power is passed on to a different woman and this continues through the ages. The last woman to have this power was Sindella, the mother of Zatanna. The power has now passed on to Tarot - she has a connection to the worldsoul, the living spirit of the Earth. Tarot now realizes that if the world is not fixed and returned to its correct state she will die and the world will follow.

CHARACTERS:
Morgaine Le Fay; Enigma (Edward Nashton); Graak; Konvikt
PLOT:
Morgaine and Enigma agree to seek out Konvikt as a replacement for Despero. He had earlier appeared as an image to Morgaine before they worked their spell.
Konvikt has gone to make amends for the innocent who was killed in his fight with authorities. He is shocked to find out that this person is still alive; in this alternate reality he was never killed. This greatly angers Konvikt who doesn't know how to restore his honour when the person he killed is still alive. He remembers back to his home planet when he was framed for the murder of the woman he loved. His people took away his ability to speak while he was under arrest. While he was being transported to a prison planet, the ship was hit by the energy wave created when Krona escaped from the cosmic egg. He and his lawyer, Graak, got out in an escape pod and landed on Earth without him ever getting back his ability to speak.
Morgaine appears before Konvikt and offers him a chance to change the world and erase his guilt. Konvikt begins to think he could return the world to a state where the person he killed is still dead and he can offer himself to the family in service to restore his honour.
Morgaine believes Konvikt will join them and, without the cosmic egg to power their spell, she is turning to the souls of the women who were in the past connected to the worldsoul.
