Galactic Sentience: "Why is that, Meridian?"
Meridian: "Well. I found out that Tech Noir seeded the water onto New Deva.
Galactic Sentience: "Sshh. Not too loud. I don't want to lose New Devan Culture."
Meridian: "Nor do I your holiness. But, when Old Arcane prevented the birth of Tech Noir he also prevented New Deva at least on one timeline."
Galactic Sentience: "So, New Deva still exists but the new New Deva doesn't have that amount of Water, right?"
Meridian: "Yes."
Galactic Sentience: "What happens on the new timeline?"
Meridian: "I was going to ask your permission to check out what happened there?"
Galactic Sentience: "Yes. We need to know about another rogue timeline. Hopefully this isn't serious."
Meridian: "Well. If it is serious we could just turn it into a time shard."
Galactic Sentience: "I don't like doing that. Hopefully, it can be salvaged."
Meridian: "Me Too."
So, Meridian took off to see what he could see regarding the new Rogue Timeline.
Then after spending about 6 months there Meridian returned the next second after visiting with the Galactic Sentience so there was literally no break in their conversation. Both were used to this by the way.
Meridian: "Well, Your holiness. Do a mind scan of my last 6 months of experiences."
Galactic Sentience: "Well. That's pretty amazing. They aren't amphibians anymore."
Meridian: "Not only that Maldek and Mars both not only still exist but both have atmospheres and water too, so trade between New Deva and Mars and Maldek exists on that timeline."
Galactic Sentience: "I really feel bad about not being able to bring back Maldek on the 1st timeline."
Meridian: "Yes, Your Holiness. I grew up on earth after this happened on that 1st timeline 65 million years later in the 20th century."
Galactic Sentience: "Yes. I remember scanning your mind first around 1969 when you wanted to be free of your human body. Was it really that bad being alive then?"
Meridian: "Yes. I had expected something quite different before I incarnated so I felt pretty ripped off as they say then."
Galactic Sentience: "Then why did you stay alive?"
Meridian: "Elohar and Ragna told me that if I died the human race would have gone extinct."
Galactic Sentience: "That isn't necessarily true, you know."
Meridian: "Yes. I know that now but didn't know that then."
Galactic Sentience: "Are you glad you stayed alive in a human body on earth?"
Meridian: "You know, it's always a mixed bag, Your holiness. There's the good and the bad but it is nice to feel useful to other beings. You know what I mean?"
Galactic Sentience: "Yes. I started out being useful to you, grandfather and I liked that and then I wound up being trained for your job."
Meridian smiled. He liked his grandson a lot. Being retired from being the Galactic Creator had it's good points after all. He didn't always like being a human being but it sure beat being bored and dead like what happened to many other creators not brave enough to do what he had done.
Galactic Sentience: "So, you recommend, Grandfather that we leave that timeline be?"
Meridian: "We need to keep an eye on it and I recommend a Oneness for it (unless you want to put Arcane Oneness on it or send Old Arcane or something like that.)"
Galactic Sentience: "What would you recommend, Meridian?"
Meridian: "After spending 6 months there I wouldn't mind spending a little more time with Maldek, Mars and the new New Deva."
Galactic Sentience: "It's done then. This way we don't have to tell anyone else about it for now."
Meridian smiled. His own new very secret timeline. This might be a vacation for him of sorts.
Galactic Sentience: "I've got to go Grandfather. You know all the duties of running a Galaxy."
Meridian: "See you soon, Grandson."
He smiled.
Meridian went to New Deva and spoke with the Oracle. "Just so you know, Oracle, His holiness the Galactic Sentience knows about the timeline without all the water."
Oracle: "This is the consequences of Old Arcane taking out Tech Noir before he was born?"
Meridian: "Yes. But your timeline still exists (at least for now) and that's the way he wants it to be by the way."
Oracle: "I'm relieved. I was really worried."
Meridian: "I know. Me too."
TIMELINE 1 WITHOUT TECH NOIR'S BIRTH AND WITHOUT ALL THAT WATER
Meridian being both a spirit and someone who could manifest a body if he wanted to: (in some ways a lot like the Galactic Sentience in this respect at this point) was really enjoying his visit to the New Deva of this time. He wondered why it was still called New Deva and realized the same colonists had arrived as before only they found dinosaurs there instead of only dinosaur sea creatures like Whales, and Sea Elephants and crocodiles and such like we have now on the 2nd Earth timeline that carry back to the first earth timeline before 9-11-01 or September 11th 2018.
So, when he traveled back in time these folks didn't recognize Earth as being earth either and since people mostly chose not to live here because of all the large dinosaurs they took a different stance. Instead of modifying their people to be amphibians like Arcane grew up being they decided to modify the dinosaurs to work for them by shooting biocoms into their brain stems which would make the dinosaurs pacified and not so wild. This way they could use the dinosaurs as beast of burden and they could have them be farm animals instead.
By the time Meridian visited this version of New Deva without as much water, farming with dinosaurs was pretty common and they also often used different species much like Elephants were used and many still are in India and Southeast Asia for logging and clearing and building roads and such.
Meridian found himself one day driving along a tropical road on something similar to southeast Asia and stopping his rental vehicle to watch dinosaurs build roads. There were people breaking rocks and then there were sleds which the dinosaurs dragged the broken rocks which made the road bed and one of the dinosaurs was trained to push off the broken rocks and to level them on the road to make a nice crushed rock roadbed that wouldn't be affected by rains because the rains would slide down between the rocks unless it was a complete deluge then all bets were off. So, some places were crushed rock roadbeds and other places were made from something similar to asphalt or cement depending upon what happened in that area of the world.
As he sat there one day a man looking a lot like Arcane drove up in a car and walked up to him and spoke to him. The man said, "You are from another world and another time but you know another version of me."
Meridian said, "Arcane?"
The man said, "I'm not called that on this world."
Meridian: "Did you know the other version of you is my student?"
Arcane: "Yes. I know that."
Meridian: "Why did you come and find me?"
Arcane: "I'm a protector for my planet just like your Arcane is a protector for Earth and New Deva on the other timeline."
Meridian: "What can I do for you?"
New Arcane: "Teach me about the Galaxy so I can serve my people here no this timeline better. Here we only know about the Solar System. We don't know much about what lies beyond it because of how our governments are set up on New Deva, Mars and Maldek."
Meridian: "Well. I'd like you to meet the leader of the Galaxy. Would you like that?"
New Arcane: "Yes."
Meridian: "What should I call you?"
New Arcane: "I'm called Deva 1"
Meridian: "How about Deva?"
New Arcane: "Okay."
So, now we know when I refer to Deva I'm referring to the new version of Arcane on the Less water world of New Deva. I think I'll call this New Deva, New Deva II for this timeline also.
So, Meridian and Deva are now visiting the Galactic Sentience.
Galactic Sentience: "You've brought someone for me to meet from the alternate New Deva, right?"
Meridian: "Let's call the new one New Deva II and let's call this Arcane, Deva, okay?"
Galactic Sentience: "Sounds good, Grandfather."
Deva's eyes widened a lot. He knew this was really serious on multiple levels now.
Galactic Sentience: "Deva. What do you think about all this?"
Deva was scared now. "Your Holiness. What would you like to know?
Galactic Sentience: "Well. I already know all about you by scanning your mind since conception."
Deva: "Well. That's pretty scary."
The Galactic Sentience and Meridian laughed.
Galactic Sentience: "Did you know you are another incarnation of Meridian, my grandfather?"
Deva: "I guess I do now but I'm not entirely sure what to do with that information."
Galactic Sentience: "You sound a lot like Jonathan Flow from Earth when I first spoke with him."
Deva: "Who is that?"
Galactic Sentience: "I want you to meet him on Earth since you seem to be at a similar stage that he was at in development when I first met him in that incarnation. Meridian could you take him to meet Jonathan?"
Meridian Laughed and said, "Of course."
So, they went and visited Jonathan Flow in 1969 Earth first timeline in November.
Jonathan was busy trying to survive climbing Mt. San Gorgonio near Big Bear and Palm Springs when he met them. He had just barely survived this climb and was driving to his father's place in the desert above Yucca Valley. Suddenly Meridian appeared in his front seat and Deva was in his back seat of his VW Bug, a 1966 beetle.
Jonathan said, "Are you two real or am I just hallucinating from exhaustion?"
Meridian: "We are real."
Jonathan: "What do you guys want?"
Meridian: "I want you to meet someone from another timeline."
Jonathan: "Okay."
Jonathan wasn't sure what to do with this information but realized he was having some sort of mystical or UFO experience.
Deva introduced himself. He said, "I just met the Galactic Sentience and Meridian tells me you are going to meet him soon in your life too."
Jonathan: "Okay. I'm having trouble being present because I almost died today during this climb. I'm pretty exhausted."
Meridian: "I chose this time to visit you because your life is going to change a lot after this. I wanted Deva to meet you before all the most extreme changes of your young life take place."
Jonathan: "Okay."
Meridian: "I'm the person you become over the next 1 million years."
Jonathan looked at Meridian and said, "I don't look like you that much."
Meridian: "Not yet. Time changes us all, Jonathan.
Deva realized what was going on and was suddenly terrified. You would have thought he would have been terrified to meet the Galactic Sentience but for some reason meeting Jonathan was just a bridge too far.
Jonathan said, "I'm not sure I can deal with much more of this I'm just too exhausted now."
Meridian: "We'll be going now but you will see us and hear from us again."
Jonathan: I'm pleased to meet you both. I hope to see you both again."
Meridian: "We all have a lot to share, Jonathan."
Jonathan nodded and they were gone.
Jonathan felt strange because he had almost died today. His whole life seemed to be going into some kind of new change, new chaos that he hadn't expected. This was just one more thing he was going to have to cope with, he guessed. He would be 22 in another 6 months. Life was crazy but he was a survivor unlike many he had met.
He looked back at how the day had gone, climbing mount San Gorgonio, the ice storm which started ripping the skin off his face, his luck at having plastic to protect his face, the sound of ice hitting the plastic was deafening at 100 mph. Gratitude that his face hadn't been ripped off or frozen off at altitude and winds. He had a lot to think about regarding what Meridian had said and gosh Deva looked very familiar to him somehow. He looked enough like Jonathan to have been his brother.

What was a 21 year old going to do with that information. It reminded him a little
of what Saint Germain had said to him too which was:
"If you live to be 100 you will see 500
IF you live to be 500 you will see 1000
If you live to be 1000 you will see 5000
If you live to be 5000 you will see 10,000"
Could this be what Saint Germain was talking about?
Well. He would believe that when he saw it.
After all this was November 1969 and things didn't look very well for the world
what with the Viet Nam War killing kids his age and the Cold War going on
and Kennedy getting assassinated likely by
Nikita Khrushchev and all that and the Cuban Missile Crisis and all the
other assassinations too.
But still, maybe Meridian might actually be his future. And who was this
Deva guy? Was he some other version of himself or Saint Germain or something?
It was all too much for him right now. He had to let it go for the time being.
Meanwhile Meridian took Deva to his Crystal City in North Carolina in
1 million years AD in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
"Deva", said Meridian, "Would you like to be my student?"
Deva: "It looks to me after meeting the Galactic Sentience I am already
your student and a student of the Galactic Sentience. It also looks like
Jonathan Flow is a student of yours already and if he isn't already he will
soon be a student of the Galactic Sentience too."
Meridian looked at Deva and smiled and said, "I wanted you to meet my
young self in the 20th Century of Earth on the 1st timeline because I want
you to work for Earth 1 million years AD in a similar way that Arcane went
back in time to Earth 1987 at first."
Deva: "What does this entail. What does this mean to me?"
Meridian:"I want to give you spiritual gifts to help your timeline. I want
to make you Time Lord of your timeline."
Deva: "Okay."
Meridian: "So, you will allow me to initiate you into becoming Time
Lord of your timeline?"
Deva: "Yes."
If you remember Arcane's experience in Chapter 2. Deva's experience was similar:
Here is the part that is similar to Old Arcane:
