Meg, Calvin, Charles Wallace, Mr. Jenkins, Proginoskes, a Cherubium, or in other words a dragon, and Blajeny, the teacher are all confronted with a major conflict. Charles Wallace is sick, extremely sick. You see his farandoles aren?t producing at a satisfactory rate and that throws off the entire balance of his mitochondria (mite*o*condry*a). When that happens the host, in this case Charles Wallace will lose oxygen, and fast. When the Farae doesn?t deepen they listen to the Echthroi (eck*throy) and follow him the entire community of Farae will die out. Soon after the Mitochondria will do the same and it will keep going until Charles Wallace dies. When Sporos, a Farae won?t deepen all the others will follow. Meg and the others end up in one of Charles Wallace?s Mitochondria they must learn to Kythe (to feel and speak through one?s mind).

That is only one of the three tests Meg and the others must pass in order to beat the Echthroi and save Charles Wallace. Another being choosing between three Mr. Jenkins. Two being mirror images and one being the true and real Mr. Jenkins. If Meg doesn?t choose correctly she and Proginoskes will be Xed or forced to X themselves. Meg must also risk her life for the one whom saved hers. Mr. Jenkins is being sabotaged by an echthroi; in this case a replica of himself. She must try...
