Elaina didn't know how long she remained in Chase's embrace as she sobbed and mourned the loss of her friend.  Samantha and Oliver had already gone out and collected Charisse's body, at least what remained of it and brought it into the bunkard to clean and prepare for a proper send off.The fireball's had stopped falling from the sky leaving behind a hellish glow that blocked out the blue from above.  The look of it had reminded Elaina of the sky within her prophethetic dream.  It seemed that the end was drawing near and they needed to make a move before it was too late."Sends a chill up your spine doesn't it." Said Chase as he stepped fully out of the bunkard after Elaina.Needing to be active Elaina had decided to go outside and check out all the damage.  Many craters had been left in the ground and some of them had pieces of bodies scattered within them.  The blood of those killed stained the green grass red making the whole scene lo

Loud bangs and the sounds of people yelling woke Elaina from her sleep.  Sitting up she placed a hand on Chase's shoulder and immediately began shaking him."What is it?" Chase grumbled trying to turn over."Sounds like we've got trouble." Elaina announced jumping out of bed and quickly throwing her clothes back on.  "Lets go."Pulling Chase up Elaina shoved his clothes at him so he could get dressed before they both rushed out of the room and out into the halls that were filled with warriors running around and shouting."What happened?" Elaina asked grabbing one man's arm.Glaring he let out a grunt, "Dark warriors, we are under attack."Nodding Elaina let go and allowed him to continue on his way.  It seemed that Rathial was growing impatient by bringing his forces to them. Feeling her adrenaline beginning to pump Elaina left Chase behind as she hurried into the fray determined to get out and fight.Many

"But first...." Ezra continued snapping Elaina out of her excitement.  "I would like to tell you a story.""A story?" Elaina asked confused.  Was right now even the time to be telling a story?  Her friends and comrades were on the losing end of a war, time was of the essence."Don't worry, they will be fine until I am done." Ezra assured her.  "This story is important and one that you need to hear.""Why do I need to hear a story?" Elaina asked not quite understanding.  "Will it tell me anything about how to win this war?"Ezra shook his head, "However, it is a story of a young girl who was born with a predestined fate.  Even before her birth everything had been decided for her."  Ezra began.  "Long ago when the world was full of war and despair this girl was born.  It was on the day of her birth that the heavens spoke and said that she would be the savior of all mankind.  A young child that possessed both

Pulling away Elaina looked into Chase's eyes catching the slight reflection of a white haired creature with red eyes and black wings springing forth from her back.  Confused she looked closer realizing that she was looking at herself."Do I scare you?" Elaina asked Chase after seeing herself.  "Am I scary?""Of course not." Chase responded touching Elaina's cheek.  "You could never be scary."Elaina nodded slowly as she turned her attention to the light warriors who had stepped forward ready to attack her.  Narrowing her gaze she took in their determined gazes in annoyance, even if Chase wasn't afraid of her they clearly were."I scare them." Elaina said now nodding towards the warriors.Looking over Chase quickly pulled Elaina behind him.  "She isn't your enemy!" He called blocking her from view."Chase, you need to move." Called one who had gotten too close for comfort.  "What do you think you're doing protect

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
