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 more normal.

Elaina had been confused by that, but Charise was different, she enjoyed the battle even took pleasure in it occasionally, but she also enjoyed acting like a normal woman in her early twenties.  

Unlike Elaina, Charise hadn’t chosen this life her parents had chosen it for her and with some major persuasion from Elaina, Charise had agreed to follow in their footsteps and train to be a warrior as well.  Where Elaina hoped that the battling never ended, Charise hoped that one day it would and she could live a peaceful life with a family.  Something Elaina knew that she never wanted.

“Late night?” Charise asked curiously finally turning.

Elaina shrugged, “Yeah, you know the usual terrifying dreams and then an encounter with a messenger from the dark brothers.”

Charise’s eyes grew wide, “You got a message from the dark brothers?  Why didn’t you come get me?  Are you hurt?”

“Woah.” Elaina said holding up her hands.  “Obviously I handled it just fine, I’m sitting here talking to you aren’t I?”

“True.” Charise eyed Elaina curiously. “How did you manage that anyway?”

Elaina sighed, “I had a little help to be honest.  This guy showed up right before I became a kabob.”

“A man?” Charise asked raising an eyebrow.  “Possibly a cute man?”

“Why do you always have to ask that particular question?  Why does it matter if he is cute or not?  He was insulting and totally full of himself.” Elaina said simply.  

“Insulting how?” Charise pushed obviously wanting every detail.

“He called me a stupid little girl and told me to go home and let the big guys handle the beast fighting.” Elaina huffed sitting her coffee cup down.

Charise didn’t take her eyes off Elaina, “Did he say it like that or are you being over dramatic?”

“I might have added some things to that, but it was pretty much the same thing.” 

Elaina realized that her cup was empty and stood to pour herself another.

Charise continued watching her as if she had grown a second head.

“Why are you staring at me?” Elaina asked impatiently whirling around.

“Aren’t you just in the slightest bit interested as to how this man magically showed up, since you didn’t know who he was he is obviously not part of the Eastern brethren.” Charise looked very interested in the mystery that was this strange man.

“I’m not interested in anything about him.” Elaina said indignantly sitting back down.  “He was rude, arrogant, and thought that women aren’t capable of fighting in battle alongside men.”

Charise licked her lips.  “Arrogant and a hero, I would really like to meet this guy.”

Elaina sighed defeated, getting up she rinsed her coffee cup out and sat it in the sink.  “Good luck with that, I have no idea where he is or where he came from.”

Elaina stormed out the kitchen, but not fast enough to not hear Charise call after her.  “You never answered my question.”

Elaina turned, “What question was that?”

“Was he good looking?” Charise called back.

Not bothering to respond Elaina slipped on her boots and headed out.  After her run in last night she planned to pay a visit to the brothers in order to get answers from them.  

The sky outside was a bright perfect blue, the smell of autumn’s arrival evident in the breeze.  Taking in a deep breath Elaina began walking.

When Elaina arrived at the institute Brother Benjamin stood at the gate to greet her.  

She had sent word ahead to let them know she was coming.  Brother Benjamin smiled brightly at her, his wrinkles prominent on his face.  

He had been one of Elaina’s main caretakers growing up, he was the closest thing Elaina had to a father. 

“Hello Elaina.” Brother Benjamin said as she stepped forward.  “What brings you here?”

“I had an interesting encounter last night.” Elaina confessed following Brother Benjamin inside. 

“Care to add to that?” Brother Benjamin asked not looking behind him.

Elaina took a deep breath.  “I ran into a beast who claimed to be part of the Northern Brethren.  He said that he was delivering a message about some type of darkness coming our way.  Afterwards he tried to kill me, but I was saved by some man.  Who may I add is part of the warriors.”

Brother Benjamin listened quietly and didn’t look surprised when Elaina mentioned the man who saved her.

“That means they have arrived.” He said simply turning and disappearing into an alcove.

Elaina followed ducking between the wall of beads that separated rooms from the main hall.  Brother Benjamin sat on a mat at the front of the room and gestured for Elaina to sit across from him.  

Elaina obliged sitting down with her knees gathered below her.  She took in the room around them, it was the one she spent many days meditating in.

Sconces sat on either side of the room holding candles that burned brightly illuminating the golden walls all around.

Behind Brother Benjamin sat the statue of Ezra, the first warrior of the brethren, the master sword held securely in his outstretched hand.  

The sword had been lost after the battle of darkness, most thought it had been destroyed along with Ezra, although others believed the dark army had secured it and were planning on using it against them one day to get revenge.

 

“Who have arrived?” Elaina asked now. “You called on the other warriors of the brethren?”

Brother Benjamin simply nodded, “As you know it is very unusual for things to be so calm, we fear that the dark brothers may be gathering all their forces in preparations for an attack.”

Elaina let out a breath, “Are you sure they simply just haven’t finally started to all die off?  There’s no way that there are that many demons and beasts.”

“For every one warrior we have there is at least a thousand beasts Elaina.” Brother Benjamin responded gravelly.  “They are made when the warriors are born.”

“That can’t be true.” Elaina whispered quietly.  “We are so little in numbers, how can there be that many?”

“It is the way of the worlds.” Brother Benjamin said simply.  “As for this other warrior you ran into, tell me more about him.”

Once again Elaina recounted her encounter with the arrogant warrior who berated her simply for being a woman.  She tried to keep her voice even and not show Brother Benjamin just how much she disliked the man, as a warrior she was supposed to give nothing but respect to the other warriors she encountered, although the man hadn’t bothered showing her any respect.

“He did not introduce himself to you?” Brother Benjamin asked curiously. 

Elaina shook her head, “No, but I didn’t really give him the chance.” She admitted lamely.  “I got mad and left.”

Brother Benjamin gave her a disapproving look making Elaina feel like a child in training again.  Each time she let her anger get the best of her and let her guard down whichever brother that was training her at the time would give her a look of disapproval that made her feel like she had let them all down.

Elaina squirmed under Brother Benjamin’s gaze wanting nothing more than to get up and leave, but knew that she couldn’t do that, it was the most disrespectful thing she could do.

After what felt like hours brother Benjamin finally spoke, “We are having a gathering tonight, a way to introduce our warriors to the visiting ones. Hopefully this time you will show more respect Elaina.”

“Yes Brother Benjamin.” Elaina said defeated.

“Now, go ahead home child.”

Elaina nodded and stood.  She bowed slightly to brother Benjamin before hurrying away.

“A gathering!” Charise squealed brightly.  “I hope there are at least some cute warriors, I’m so bored of all the ones we have here.”

“Only because you have already made your way through them.” Elaina noted.

She stood in front of Charise’s full length mirror moving a black dress with a v-neck top in front of her and then a baby blue one that fell to her knees, but seemed more presentable from side to side.  

When Elaina had told Charise about the get together that night, Charise had insisted that she borrow one of her dresses.  Despite a lot of protesting Charise had ended up winning and was now holding her hostage until she was absolutely sure that Elaina looked like a real woman.  

Charise herself had already changed out of her work uniform and into a violet number so short it could be considered inappropriate, that hugged her figure nicely, sure to catch the eye of quite a few of the Northern warriors men.

“I don’t know.” Elaina quipped now continuing to move either dress from side to side.  “I don’t really feel like either of these suit me very well.”

Charise rolled her eyes, “You don’t think any dress fits you very well.”

True, but Charise was making a big deal out of nothing.

“Tell me again why my normal meeting clothes aren’t good enough for this gathering?” Elaina said throwing the dresses down in frustration.

When the Brothers usually called a gathering of the warriors they were required to wear all black, black shirt, slacks, and boots.  Simple easy enough to throw together and go, but Charise had insisted that this gathering was different.

She had spoken with her parents and they said it was going to be somewhat of a banquet with eating and dancing, a celebration of the two groups coming together.  That had set Charise off and when she got started she was most certainly a force to be reckoned with.

“You don’t have anything a little more modest?” Elaina asked now sitting on the edge of Charise’s bed.

Charise sighed and disappeared into her closet.  

Elaina watched as articles of clothing came flying out as Charise dug around trying to find something to make her happy.  

At one point Elaina saw a pair of men’s pants come flying out, but decided to keep her mouth shut.  What Charise did was really none of her business, they were both adults and could do whatever they wanted after all. 

After a large pile of clothing had formed in the middle of the room Charise appeared holding a simple grey cotton dress with a scoop neck.  She hurled it at Elaina and demanded she put it on.

Sensing Charise’s mood Elaina disappeared into the bathroom and did as she was told.  

The dress really didn’t look bad on her, it hugged her hips and chest just right, but not enough to really draw attention to herself.  It was a little short, but not something that would make her terribly uncomfortable.

As Elaina stepped out of the bathroom Charise let out a whistle and started cat calling.  

Elaina found a pillow and flung it at her which set Charise into a laughing fit.

“Now, sit so I can do your make up.” Charise demanded pulling out her vanity chair.

“Wait what?” Elaina asked eyes wide.

“You said nothing about having to wear make up.”

Charise sighed losing her patience with her best friend.  “This is kind of like a ball, you remember the ones we were always told about as kids?” 

Elaina nodded, “Yes, but what does that have to do with me wearing make up?”

“Just let me do what I do best.” Charise insisted pulling out a compact.

Closing her eyes Elaina let Charise attack her face and then without any warning she went after her hair.  

Elaina tried to protest, but Charise simply quieted her with a huff. 

 

“Open your eyes.” Charise clapped finally done.  She stepped back and examined Elaina smiling proudly.  “You look fabulous.”

 

Elaina opened her eyes and turned so that she could face herself in the mirror.

A gasp escaped her lips as she stared at the stranger before her.  Charise had managed to define her dark waves so that they surrounded her face even more than usual and fell gracefully down her back and shoulders.  Her face looked like it was made of porcelain, very fair except for the rosey spots on her cheek bones.  Her eyes were surrounded by silver making the blue pop even more and her eye lashes looked full and long shadowing her much too wide eyes.  

Dizziness overtook Elaina making her collapse back in her chair, tears threatening to start spilling.

“What’s wrong?” Charise asked worriedly.  “Are you ok?  Do you feel sick?”

“It’s like looking at my mother.” Elaina whispered refusing to look at her reflection again.  “I look just like her.”

Charise placed a reassuring hand on Elaina’s shoulder.  “Your mother would be so proud of the woman you have become Elaina.”

“Do you think so?” Elaina asked sniffling.

“Of course.” Charise said.  “You’re beautiful, strong, and a pretty bad ass warrior, what isn’t to be proud of?”

Elaina considered this and then smiled, “I am pretty bad ass huh?”

“And full of yourself I forgot that part.” Charise said laughing.  “Now come on or we are going to be late for this gathering.”

Elaina nodded standing then looked down at her feet which were still bear  “You don’t happen to have some shoes I can borrow do you?”

Charise smiled one of her devious smiles, “Of course I do.”

    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

    For two days after having her leg worked on Elaina was stuck in bed. She spent the time reading through The Book of White, which Brother Isaac had happily lent her. Try as she might, she couldn’t find anything remotely relevant to anything that was going on around the sanctuary.When she wasn’t reading, she was spending time with Charise who had been bringing her, her meals. On the third day Elaina had begun to grow bored and decided it was time to get up and moving again.Testing her leg gingerly she got out of bed and headed towards the library. She knew she had to find something that could help her better understand what the beginning of the end really meant since the book of white didn’t further explain. It felt like needles stabbed her leg as she walked farther, but she pushed the pain aside. By the time she reached the library she could feel small trickles of blood dripping down

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. Attempting to stand Elaina collapsed,

    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."

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.

    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?"
