Fairy Knights Lament
Strikes!
As everyone
arrived in the room downstairs it began to change. Brief fading images of coaches were being
replaced by a large round table. Even
Wendy was surprised. The only ones who weren’t
were the last to arrive in the room.
Claire and Nicholai came through the doorway and as they did he went
from a human shaped talking shadow to the image of a man. His hair was surprisingly short for the time
period he was supposedly from and his eyes were deep sky blue like Wendy’s. You could definitely see a family resemblance
between the two of them. He was still
nothing more than a shade, a transparent shadow. Wendy was the first to be seated, Dusk sat to
her left and Aura to her right. Kurt sat
next to Aura and Raxe next to Dusk. Then
Calyst sat next to Raxe and Raven next to Kurt, Followed by Gustav next to
Calyst and Jack next to Raven. John sat
down next to Jack and then Claire seated herself beside him. Nicholai took his seat directly across from
Wendy.
Wendy had
grabbed a bag on the way down to the room, as she reached in it all sound
seemed to have stopped. She produced a
crystal ball very similar to the one Raven was carrying. “Master Oakwood I call to you, we are in need
of your advice and wise council.”
“Hello Wendy Ravenwood.”
“Who are you, you’re not…?” “Yes
I’m sorry you have never spoken with me.
I’ll go get him for you. Is Aura
with you?” Her orange eyes widened she
knew who it was but what was he doing in Grandpa Oakwood’s house? “I am here.”
“Glad to know you are okay, I hear you have teamed up with a living
spirit. I wish you all well. Thank you again for saving my life. Here he is…”
“Wendy, how
have you all been, sorry there is no picture, Arcane’s Light did something and
it is still causing interference. I take
it your guests have arrived! There is no
need to explain them to me. A long time
ago Merlin asked me to watch over Claire, John and his disciples as well as
step in if it was ever needed. The time
for me to act has come. A dark form of
John has risen up along with a set of twins, one of which is seated with you
all. His sister is dead and traverses
the nether worlds and dream worlds hiding from Death to help her brother on his
quest. Their split is tied to the
Necklace called the Elven Light. It may
have just recently happened but in other dimensions time is relative the dark
John has been alive longer than the one with you he also has all of John’s past
life experiences. He purged himself of
everything he considered weak and that became John and Margo Ravenwood. The John who walks with you was left with
nothing but potential; he can become just as powerful as his other self but
will have to train for it. Also I do not
know what will happen if he dies. Their
split may have nullified the reincarnation loop that was created. Claire whatever happens it needs to be
settled this go round or it is all over.
Arcane’s Light tipped the scales and the balance your life held as a pillar
has been broken. Death will never admit
it but what was done out of spite and John’s reaction to it was necessary. The universe makes its own solutions to
problems. I am sorry that you are the
one that has to clean up this mess.
Claire it is unfair for you to have to make up for the aftermath of a
war that happened so long ago that it is not even legend. Only bits and pieces of it are even recorded
hidden in many religious texts. If you
can find a complete record it would greatly aid your cause. Arcane and Daykin were created as living
bioweapons of intelligence. Arcane was a
man once, Daykin was never human. That is
all I know of them. I have fought Arcane
multiple times but know next to nothing about him, other than he is a vampire
and all vampires in existence can trace their origin back to him. The beast people like your friend jack were
also an artificial construct made to fight.
Claire I know you know of Assedo his people too were made for battle. The war ended long before the events set
forth by Assedo. In fact the breakdown
which is held in check by your immortal life may have been a spiteful last move
by a forgotten enemy. Splitting the
realities to beat Daykin was the trigger.
What I know of the war is vague but it was Existence versus non-existence. Daykin and Arcane were made by one side and
the Beast people and Assedo’s were made by the other. Arcane was a failure he was too human and
turned on his masters in favor of his own agenda. Daykin was programmable and loved to resurrect
the dead and take control of weak minded people. The way the war ended was abrupt. The plan may have been to convince existence
to call forth non-existence. It is
possible Arcane knows, you may have defeated him but he is not destroyed I know
from my own experience it’s not that easy.”
“I have one
last gift for all of you, please join hands.
Claire I want you to concentrate on the story you were going to tell
them. Now everyone close your eyes. Can you see it?” All of them answered at once as their minds
eyes saw Claire’s past and the burden her and John both bore. Their romantic tragedy unfolded before everyone’s
third eye. “You all are connected now
this mind’s eye technique can only be used by people who have awakened. Claire this version of John will never
remember his past lives beyond fragments in dreams and imprints in objects but
through this technique you can show him his past from your point of view
remember he is pure potential. I have to
go Dusk are you with them?” Yes grandpa
I’m here, I was so surprised to learn you were alive. I got your letter but it was a little
late. You and Aura take care and don’t
be strangers you can contact me. I have
to go now I am late for my class.” “Class?”
asked Aura. “I am the head of the Elven
magical arts, after Arcane’s attack it was decided that we needed to get back
into practice so the King is teaching swordsmanship and archery and I teach
magic and our history. That is why the
prince was here… Bye for now!”
As he
signed off the building began to shake.
Wendy turned to Nicholai “What’s going?”
He turned the table into a view screen, looking down from a satellite
view of the Manor. “We are surrounded by
what looks to be werewolves.” Dusk
yelled “Can you get me a close-up of the one by the front door?” “Coming
up!” “Raxe do you see what I do” Raxe
stared blankly before commenting “Shit its Lament and her entire pack!” “Is it possible they are still following
Arcane’s order to hunt us down?” “Probably
she was not there when we all kicked his ass and blew up his fortress.”
Everyone was listening intently but had no
idea what was going on. Dusk looked at
them “To make a long story short the Elven light was sealed away by our
grandmother in a box that could not be opened by anyone without Ravenwood
blood. After Arcane stole it he realized
he could not open it. So he knew I was
here in this world and began hunting me.
When he could not find me his attention turned to Wendy. He had no idea my sister had also come to
this side. She is probably after me and Wendy;
I would bet she does not know Aura is even here. Wendy I don’t have my gun!” Wendy giggled “That’s the other reason I
wanted you here I made you a new one compatible with my ammo and yours.”
