Complete story — includes the ending

In 1879, Sebastian, the Horseman who helped Athan escape 1953, encourages Athan to write his visions down in the document that becomes the Word of the Witness. In 2046, Jones has difficulty tracking Cole and Cassie as they jump through time. She consults Olivia, who tells her Jennifer is protecting them by misdirecting her. Before Jones can catch her, Jennifer splinters away. In 1899 London, Cole and Cassie attend a masked ball which was mentioned in the Word. They find Sebastian but are captured by Jones, Deacon, and Hannah. Cole unsuccessfully tries to convince Jones that Athan can be saved. Jennifer appears and creates a distraction, allowing Cole, Cassie, and Sebastian to escape. Sebastian says he and Athan parted in 1879 but gives them the address of Athan's old home. He is shot by Jones, buying Cole and Cassie time to splinter away to Athan's house. Back in 2046, Deacon imprisons Jennifer and releases Olivia. In 1899, an adult Athan bids farewell to the dying Sebastian.
