Fire Rages and brimstone falls,

With darkened days, chaos rules all.

The dark king rises, painting the heavens red,

Men and women bow, loyalty will be pledged.

     -Elder Aurj

Fire, that was the only thing the little girl was comprehending as she looked straight ahead.  Flames licking all around the house in which she had lived.  Smoke plumed into the air, the flames reflecting on them giving the scene a hellish glow.  

It didn’t make sense to the little girl, the house shouldn’t be on fire, it should only be lit by lamp glow, the same lamps that her mother read underneath and her father sharpened his blades in.  

Around the little girl people screamed for help, telling someone or another to call the fire department.  

 

They’re too late, the little girl thought numbly.  

Nothing would be left of the house by the time they arrived, nothing except ash and smoldering piles of her life gone forever.

Snapping out of her daze the little girl screamed launching herself towards the house.  

Hands grabbed her from behind pulling her away.  She kicked and screamed demanding to be let go of, but the hands didn’t loosen their grip.  The hands were dark, the color of caramel, the little girl noted only looking away from the scene in front of her for a moment.  The voice that came with them was soft and comforting.  Vaguely she began to realize that the hands belonged to Samantha Morgan, her best friend Charise’s mother.  Of course she would be here, she had just dropped her off.

“We need to go.” Samantha murmured continuing to pull the little girl along.

“NO!” The little girl wailed.  “My parents are still in there!”

“It’s too late.” Samantha insisted continuing to pull.

In the distance the little girl could hear the sound of sirens making their way to the scene.  They still sounded far away, too far away.  

A shriek sounded from the burning house as glass and debris flew towards them.  

Samantha launched  them backwards tumbling through the frost bitten grass.

They stopped tumbling inches away from the street.

People all around were screaming in horror.  Before them a creature emerged from the burning building, black as night.  It stretched out its scaley wings and released a piercing cry.  Its eyes blazed just like the fire.  

The little girl was mesmorized by the thing in front of her. Samantha tensed and pushed the little girl aside jumping up and pulling something from her boot.

The little girl recognized the dagger before Samantha flourished it and stepped into a fighting stance.  It was all too much, the little girl felt dizzy and passed out.

Elaina woke with a start, her heart pounding in her chest.  The sheet she had covered up with earlier in the night was wrapped tightly around her body.

Squirming, she managed to free one hand, which she used to push her thick dark hair away from her damp forehead.  

It was still dark all around her, nowhere near time to be waking up just yet.  

A giggle sounded from the room beside her, obviously Charise had just arrived home after a night of partying and was most likely entertaining a guest, or two. You never really knew with her.  

A sigh escaped Elaina’s lips as she freed her body the rest of the way.  

The nightmare she had just woken from still clear as day in her sleep fogged brain.  They always haunted her this time of year, it was when it happened after all.  The beast had attacked her parents and then lit her home on fire, leaving her an orphan.  

After it happened the monks had taken her in, giving her shelter and food.  In return she trained vigorously with them and promised to uphold her duties as a warrior, the same duties her parents had promised to uphold as well. 

A loud thump and laughter drifted through the wall, it looked like they were going to be up for a while.  

Not wanting to play audience to Charise’s games Elaina got out of bed and got dressed quickly, then headed out of her room and out of the house.  

The air outside was crisp, not yet cold enough to wear a coat but chilly enough to send goosebumps up Elaina’s arms as she walked.  She didn’t really know where she was going, or what she planned on doing, but the night air helped clear her mind, chasing away the demons in her head.

All around her houses were dark. Everyone was fast asleep and comfortable, with not a care in the world.  

The streetlights above lit her way as she moved faster.  

Elaina envied those people sleeping happily in their beds. They knew nothing of the creatures that existed, the same ones that haunted Elaina’s waking and sleeping mind.  

The children that lived around her had their parents still; they didn’t know what it was like to have them ripped away in a single moment.  They didn’t know what it was like to have to train day in and day out, using that training as an escape from the memories.  Sometimes it just wasn’t fair, but then again, Elaina thought bitterly, life wasn’t fair.

Shaking her head once Elaina began to jog watching as everything around her blurred together.  Her adrenaline pumping always helped calm her.  She wished that there was a monster or something to fight in order to completely block out everything, but lately things had been strangely calm.  

The monks thought it weird, because there was always something around, even if it was a little burlack beast. But even now they were nowhere to be found.  

Elaina continued running not sure of her destination, but knowing that she had to get somewhere.  It was almost like a magnetic pull, something was urging her forward, telling her where to go.  

Elaina was running at full speed now her breath coming out in puffs.  

Finally, she began to slow down and then stopped altogether.

Standing in front of her underneath a street light was one of the monks.  He wore the ceremonial yellow and burgundy of peace.  

He studied Elaina curiously as she made her way towards him.  

Most of the monks Elaina knew had shaved heads and no facial hair whatsoever, but this monk was different.

His dark hair fell messily around his face and he looked like he hadn’t had the opportunity to shave in days.

“Are you new?” Elaina asked now stepping before him.

The monk continued to study her thoughtfully, a little smile playing on his lips.

“Do I look like just a little babe?” The monk’s eyes flashed in amusement.

Elaina bristled, “I didn’t mean it like that.”  She crossed her arms indignantly and continued to watch the monk.

“I am brother Joseph of Northern Brethren.” He said finally.  “I was sent here to warn the brethren of the East.”

“Warn them of what?” Elaina asked curiously eyeing Brother Joseph.  

Too bad he was a monk he wasn’t half bad looking, you could even say he was cute.

Brother Joseph continued studying Elaina as if considering what all he could tell her.

“The impending doom that is coming this way.” Brother Joseph said finally.  “It has already attacked my Brethren, most did not survive.”

Explains the unshaven face and hair, but that would mean that brother Joseph had been on the run for a while, Elaina mused.  It did not however explain why he brought the warning.  

Elaina knew that the brethren had some circuit that spread news all throughout the brotherhood, usually they never left their shelters in order to see one another.

“Why are you here instead of there warning the brethren then Brother Joseph?” Elaina asked quietly.

“Shouldn’t you be warning Brother Isaac instead of talking to me?”

Brother Joseph didn’t seem the slightest bit offended by Elaina’s words, which in all honesty was typical of the brethren.

“You found me, I didn’t come find you.” Brother Joseph pointed out solemnly. “But it is a good thing I found you first.”

“Why’s that?” Elaina snapped.

“Because.”

Brother Joseph didn’t finish his sentence. In a move so fast Elaina almost didn’t catch it he ripped his robe off revealing a belt full of weapons.  Attached to his shoulders was a sword in which he yanked free and flourished before her.

His eyes Elaina noticed now were dark as a night, small sparks of red flickered there.  A wide smile formed on his lips as he lifted the sword ready to fight.

“You’re too trusting Elaina Mason.” He said smiling.

Elaina smiled sweetly at the man before her.  He watched as she reached her hands behind her head and in one swift move pulled the dagger she always hid in a strap attached to her shoulder wielding it before her.  

Elaina knew that her little dagger wouldn’t help much against this man’s sword, but maybe it could hold him off long enough for her to escape.

“I guess I’m not too surprised.” The man said idly eyeing the dagger in Elaina’s hand.  “Although, I don’t quite understand what you plan on doing with that little toy of yours.”

“More then you could possibly imagine.” Elaina responded crouching into a fighting defensive stance.

It was true, she had used just her dagger to take down three opponents at once.

For the most part she had held her own pretty well, aside from a few broken ribs and a sprained ankle she had walked away unharmed.  The problem was those men had been goonies of the dark brothers sent to kidnap her.  

This man was demon, but she didn’t know just how much of the darkness he had in him.

With a cry the man moved forward positioning his sword towards Elaina’s chest.  

She dodged, but not fast enough to avoid the blade cutting into her arm.  She clamped down on a yelp of pain and rushed toward the man while he tried to get his footing again.  

He was fast, much faster than her and easily moved out of the way.  

Whirling she moved again, focusing all her energy on the beast before her.  

He smiled savagely easily batting her dagger away.  

Deciding that defensive wasn’t the best option Elaina decided to try to be offensive.  She steadied herself turning and facing her opponent once more.  He was smiling manically watching her with amusement.

“You really did think that you could defeat me with that little thing didn’t you Elaina Mason?” He laughed.

Elaina gritted her teeth, “Don’t call me that.”

Seeming even more amused the man started moving slowly around her.    Elaina moved with him never taking her eyes off the man’s weapon wielding arm, she knew that if she did that would be her end.  

“Why not Elaina Mason?” He asked now. “Do you not like hearing your family name?  I suppose it could be a little upsetting since your parents death.  Terrible thing that, if only they had cooperated they might still be here today.”

Anger flared in Elaina almost causing her to lose her concentration, realizing immediately that was what this beast wanted she pushed it all down and bared her teeth in a snarl.

“You know nothing about my parents.” She spat.

Another laugh erupted from the man, this one deep and guttural.  “I know much more than you would think.  Who do you think sent that beast to destroy them?”

Elaina’s ears began to ring, the man's words seeping into her brain.  Was he telling the truth?  Had he actually sent that creature to kill her parents eleven years ago?  

A white hot rage rose in Elaina, one that shocked even her.  

Not caring anymore about trying to keep the beast at bay she let out a cry and ran at him again, a move that would’ve cost her greatly if someone hadn’t shoved her away at the last minute.  

Elaina went sprawling on the grass as the beast took in a shocked breath.  

He turned to face whoever it was that had saved her life at the last minute.  

At some point they had moved from under the light so all Elaina could really make out was the person's outline.

He was holding something in his hands ready to swing at the beast if it decided to come for him.

“Get out of here!” Her savior yelled savagely.  “You stupid girl, you shouldn’t even be here right now.”

Anger welled up in Elaina again at being called stupid.  

Jumping up she rushed the beast tackling it from behind while it was distracted.  They went tumbling to the ground again, the beast clawing and flailing.  

Elaina tried her best to keep the beasts attacks at bay, but at one point his fist made contact with her temple sending her flying through the air.  She landed against something hard all the air rushing out of her lungs.  

For a second everything was blurry and her ears were ringing.  

Gasping she tried to stand up again ignoring the screaming protests from her body. 

“Stay down.” The person said again rushing towards her.  “Do you hear me?  Stay down!”

Elaina found herself face to face with a man, his green eyes blazing angrily. Dark curly hair hung in his face.  Elaina noted a scar on his cheek, the sure sign of a battle, a mark he would wear for the rest of his life. 

“If you value your life you will stay where you are you hear….”

He didn’t get to finish his sentence as he was lifted by the beast and flung through the air.  

Gasping Elaina jumped up readying herself for another attack, but the beast simply hissed and disappeared into nothing but vapor.  

Stunned Elaina looked around trying to determine what exactly had just happened.  There was nobody else around except her and the man that had rescued her laying limp in the grass.

Elaina ran to him kneeling by his side and turning him over.  He was awake and staring up in a daze, when his eyes finally focused he frowned and shoved Elaina’s hands off of him.

“Leave it to a woman to ruin everything.” He snapped sitting up and clamping a hand to his head.  He pulled his fingers away sticky with blood.

“Damnit, you let that thing get away!”

 

Elaina flinched back as if punched,

“What do you mean I let it get away?” She growled.  “I was handling him just fine until you interfered.”

The man laughed, “Yes, because almost getting stabbed through the chest is really handling things.”

“I would’ve been fine.” Elaina snapped indignantly.  “I’ve had worse injuries.  Who are you anyway?”

“It’s none of your business who I am.” The man said standing up and brushing grass off his clothes.

Elaina noted he was wearing the customary battle gear for the brethren, a simple black vest over a steel breastplate.  Black trousers with many pockets to hide numerous weapons and hunting boots.  He was taller than Elaina and glared down at her as if she was a disobedient child.

“What?” Elaina demanded feeling slightly self-conscious.  

“Shouldn’t you be at home sleeping where it is safe for children?” The man asked now crossing his arms.

 

“I’m not a child.” Elaina said through gritted teeth. 

“You’re what sixteen, seventeen maybe?” The man continued to push causing Elaina’s temper to reach its boiling point.

“I’m twenty two.” Elaina snapped, “Legal age of a warrior of the brethren.”

This caught the man off guard; he stared at Elaina in a new way as if noticing her for the first time.  

Elaina was used to people thinking she was young.  She had inherited her mother’s looks, dark wavy hair that framed her face making her look like a baby doll with bright blue eyes, and only standing at five foot even.  The only thing that indicated she was mature was the womanly curves she had luckily been blessed with.

“You’re a warrior of the brethren?” The man asked now looking suspicious.

“What do they think a tiny thing like you can do?”

Having heard enough Elaina stormed forward grabbing the man by his arm and shoulder, then with one jerk flipped him over her body.  He landed on his back and lay there looking up at her in shock.

“What was that about wondering what a tiny thing like me can do?” Elaina asked now sweetly dimpling her face.  

“You got lucky.” The man said simply sitting up.  “That won’t happen again trust me.”

“You’re right it won’t, because I don’t plan on running into you again.” Elaina said simply turning and walking away.  Leaving the idiotic man behind staring dumbly at her retreating figure.

    Elaina awoke the next morning feeling the battle from the night before.Inching slowly out of bed her body screamed at her insisting that she just stay put, which she wanted to do, but knew that she couldn’t. Ignoring the protests she took a quick shower and changed into jeans and t-shirt then hurried downstairs following the smell of coffee wafting through the living room from the kitchen, beckoning her forward.“Morning.” Charise called not turning around from the smoothie she was throwing together. “I made you some coffee.”Grateful Elaina helped herself to a cup and sat at the table. As usual Charise was already dressed for work sporting black pants, a simple white shirt, and red apron. Her unruly brown hair piled atop her head. Charise worked as a barista at a local coffee bar on the strip, even though she didn’t need the money she insisted it made her feel a little mo

    Charise and Elaina arrived at the institute just as the sun began to set, people they didn’t recognize were milling around idly speaking quietly amongst themselves. Elaina looked down at her feet and cursed herself for asking Charise about borrowing a pair of shoes. Charise of course had shoes that she could borrow, but she hadn’t bothered to think about the comfort of the wearer. Being a woman Elaina should have been used to wearing heels, but being a warrior she stuck to wearing comfortable shoes, and now Charise had her in heels and her feet were screaming at her.“You look great, did I mention that?” Charise asked smiling from ear to ear. “I should really be a fashion consultant.”Elaina glared, “You should really be trained to torture people actually.”Charise of course was much too excited to get mad about Elaina’s little hit at her.Instead she twirled and grabbed

    All around the crowd black creatures erupted from the bushes, their red eyes blazing as everyone ran to take cover.Elaina watched as so called warriors scrambled around her. Kicking her shoes off she faced the closest beast head on. It shrieked in her face spewing sulfurous gas that made her gag momentarily. A ripping sensation spread up her arm, but she didn’t care. Lifting her dagger she swiped the beast across the chest sending it lurching backwards. It let out a terrible cry as two more of its friends came to join it. Elaina squared off ready to take on the next creature that came her way. A shriek sounded from behind her. Turning quickly she dodged the beast coming towards her. To her left Charise had a sword ready and was heading her way. Thankful for her friend Elaina attacked the closest beast, slicing its neck open. It let out a yell before crumb

    The next week passed in a blur of meetings and training. The monks still refused to let any of the warriors leave, insisting over and over again that they were all safer together. Elaina began to get to know her fellow warriors from the North, deciding it was better to understand them than completely avoid them altogether. Although, there was one warrior she did avoid, Chase.He had tried to talk to her the first day that training began, but Elaina had insisted that she had somewhere else to be and bolted out the door. She hadn’t seen much of Charise either, the monks had made the other girl sleep in a separate room from her. The way the monks saw it the less ties any of them had to one another the easier it would be for them to fight when the time came. It wasn’t that they were being nasty, it was just the better choice for everyone, if you held attachments in battle you could easily end up killed by trying to help yo

    “Wake up.”The harsh voice shook Elaina from her sleep, lamely she fumbled around for the lamp on her nightstand. Once she found it she flinched from the harsh glow.Charise stood beside her looking very serious her hands on her hips.“What are you doing here?” Elaina mumbled checking her clock for the time. “At, may I add, the time normal people sleep.”“I was woken up by Chase who insisted that I needed to come talk to you immediately.” Charise said now yawning.Elaina took in her pink pajamas and wild hair. Dark circles still under her eyes, it was obvious that she hadn’t woken up too long ago.“He’s standing out in the hall isn’t he?” Elaina asked instead. “Chase!” She called loudly, “Come on in, you might as well tell us both why in the world you think we should talk.”Her door opened and Chase stepped in wearin

    The next morning came in a crash, literally, outside the sky was a nasty greyish purple, rain slammed like pebbles against Elaina’s bedroom window. After a summer of almost near perfect weather the first storm of fall had finally arrived. Elaina shivered listening to the sound of wind ripping against the temple. Beside her Charise continued to sleep soundly, one thing she was good for was sleeping through almost anything. Sitting up Elaina shoved her friend. Charise cursed and tried to bury herself in Elaina’s white comforter, with a yank Elaina took it away. Charise growled and turned over glaring.“If there isn’t a fire I am going to destroy you.”“Haven’t I already told you that if something were ever on fire I was going to let you fend for yourself?” Elaina asked cheerfully. “You know the saying every man for himself.”Charise continued to gl

    Elaina spent most of the morning in the gym practicing fighting technique. Slowly she practiced maneuvers imagining her opponent countering them and then thinking of something completely different. Pulling a dagger from her boot she swiped it through the air stepping from one side to the other. Only stopping long enough to debate the right place to plant it to destroy her attacker. With a graceful leap she pictured it disappearing into a chest, piercing the heart hidden below it. “Seems that imaginary friend of yours is dead.” A voice said behind her. Elaina turned to face Chase, “Too bad, I was imagining it was you.” She gave a sweet smile putting her dagger back in its holder. “I have to say you weren’t much of a challenge.” “I guess my imaginary self is lazy, I can assure you it would take a lot more than that to even knock me down.” Chase flashed a brilliant smile, Elaina watched as he shrugged off his jacket. &nbs

    Two days passed without incident and without any word from Brother Isaac about the elders possibly agreeing to have an audience with Elaina. With her leg still hurting she was unable to train the way she had wanted to, and she refused to attempt meditating.Instead she stayed locked in her room watching the storm raging outside. It had rained for three days straight and didn’t seem like it was ever going to stop.The lush green grass outside turned to nothing more than puddles of standing water. The sky above still held an angry black glow as the walls of the temple shook with every clash of thunder. One of the brothers had been bringing Elaina her meals since she had refused to leave her room not wanting to see anyone, afraid that word had already gotten around the temple about her being attacked a second time. Again the thought of running away crossed her mind, but she squashed it remembering the look of ang

    Six years later....Elaina watched as Carson and Lianna played in the field just beyond the crystal caves entrance. The little boys curly white hair swayed in the soft breeze as he tried with all his might to swipe it out of his face. Beside him his little sister picked a flower and shoved it at his face while giggling. Swatting the flower the boy attempted to try to act tough.Chuckling Elaina limped forward to join her children. After so many years she still couldn't stop herself from looking down at the metal leg she was now sporting and smiling, it was after all a reminder of the greatest victory of her life.Lianna was the first to hear her approach.

    "You did well child." Ezra's soft voice floated to Elaina as she hovered peacefully in the darkness. "But now is not your time to leave.""What do you mean?" Elaina asked looking around only to find emptiness. "I've already died.""Your human self died." Ezra corrected. "Your dark self has not." He continued."But I'm so tired." Elaina sighed as she felt herself slipping again."Child, I still have something to ask of you." Ezra continued drawing Elaina's attention to him."What's that?" Elaina asked."I need you to lead the underworld now." Ezra said carefully. "With Rathial gone there is no one to take his place, except you of course.""What do you mean?" Elaina demanded. "How could I possibly do something like that? What about my friends and Chase?"Laughing Ezra began to take form as Elaina's darkness turned to the lush green flower field again.

    Rathial snarled at Elaina as she began to move towards him. Behind her lay a pile of dead dark warriors that hadn't been able to hold their own against the infuriated Elaina."So glad to see you coward." Elaina beamed as she continued moving forward. "Thought you'd be safe hiding down here did you?"Feeling her rage building Elaina lunged at Rathial slashing her sword towards his chest. Easily dodging Rathial cackled as Elaina righted herself ready for the next attack."What do you expect to do letting your anger get the best of you?" Rathial taunted. "You came here looking to easily die didn't you."Snapping his fingers he tried to use his power against Elaina, but it didn't work. With her human self gone she was now immune to any and all dark powers, after all she was amongst the dark herself now."That trick won't work on me this time." It was Elaina's turn to laugh.Caught off guard Rathial didn't have

    Elaina woke earlier than Chase the next morning. Sounds of people beginning their day could be heard just out in the hallway as she quickly searched for her clothes. After Chase had fallen asleep the night before, Elaina had made a decision and now she planned on setting that choice into action. Fully dressed she looked to Chase once more before quickly rushing out of the room.As Elaina made her way through the bunkard she ignored the glares that she recieved from the few warriors that were roaming about. Their looks of disgust and distrust no longer mattered to her, after all she was leaving this place anyway.Waving she quickened her pace and hurried up the stairs and out into the open air beyond.The sky remained a bloody red above as ash had begun to fall. Taking in the scene Elaina strengthened her resolve. She was no longer going to wait around for Rathial to come to her, instead she was going to go to him.

    "What's going on?" Christopher asked as Elaina and Chase entered the room. He had been lounging on his bed reading through a book on mythical creatures when they arrived. "Why is Elaina here?""Are you using that to learn more about yourself?" Elaina asked ignoring Christopher's questions and snatching the book to examine it. "Look up abaasy.""I know." Christopher huffed taking the book back. "Why are you here?""I wanted to talk to her alone." Chase said giving Christopher a pointed look.Taking the hint Christopher grudgingly got up and stomped towards the door. Giving Chase an annoyed glance he walked out slamming the door behind him."Was that really necessary?" Elaina asked keeping her gaze fixed on the door. "Does he not know about your parents?""Not many know." Chase admitted before motioning for Elaina to have a seat. "It happened so long ago that the younger warrior's weren't old enough to

    "You should have fought back." Samantha lectured as she worked on patching up Elaina's more severe wounds.As Elaina had insisted earlier most had begun to heal already, at least the ones that weren't so bad. Elaina didn't know if she should be thankful for her new quick healing ability or be sad since it meant that she truly no longer was a human."If I fought back would it make them trust me?" Elaina asked instead catching Samantha off guard."Would you be able to earn their trust if you died?" Samantha countered shoving a stitch through a particularly severe wound on Elaina's shoulder."I can't die again Samantha." Elaina pointed out.Frowning she tried to come to terms with the fact that she couldn't even feel the needle going through her skin, Elaina let out a long breath."You don't know that for sure."

    The crowd gathered around Elaina had grown immensely and had backed her into a wall. Keeping her expression calm she stared ahead waiting to see exactly what these people intended to do to her."You shouldn't look so cocky still monster." The man who had started the whole ordeal bellowed as the group behind him agreed."Pathetic." Elaina hissed. "Picking on a defenseless woman.""I don't see a defenseless woman." The man laughed. "Only a monster."Elaina couldn't help but laugh at the mans words. How was she the monster when all of them were the ones ganging up on her like a bunch of savages?"I need you to move now."

    "Do you truly think you can defeat me?" Rathial laughed as Elaina lunged at him with her trident."Don't underestimate me, you owe me three lives." Elaina growled as a blue ball of energy shot from the end of the trident slamming into Rathial's chest. "You took people that were precious from me!"Elaina could feel the fire within her growing as she spoke of Charisse and her parents. Rage flared deep in her heart as the eletrictiy at the end of her trident crackled and sparked flaring as fire made its way up the staff."What is this?" Rathial demanded eyes widening.Instead of responding Elaina growled moving forward once more slamming the hilt of the Trident into Rathial's gut sending him flying backwards. Jumping on top of him Elaina grabbed hold of his throat and began to squeeze as her need to kill grew."So cute." Rathial coughed cackling as Elaina tightened her grip.

    The next day came in a blaze of red and orange, the sky above had completely lost its blue hue and was left with a red tint as if reflecting all the blood that was being spilt around them. Looking up Elaina squinted her eyes as she spotted what looked like ash beginning to fall."Ash storm?" She murmured holding out a hand and allowing some of the grey substance to land on her palm. "The end is getting nearer."Beside her Chase sucked in a harsh breath, "What did you say?""When the sky turns red and ash begins to fall to the earth, the dark lord will take his rightful place, and the whole world will be rebuilt in chaos." Elaina recited. "Ash is beginning to fall, the sky has turned red, and the earth has begun to break apart. We are running out of time.""Did Ezra give you any advice on what to do?" Chase asked Elaina as his face began to turn pale."We must defeat Rathial." Elaina responded as if it was the simplest thing
