Re-Birthing

It has been too long, way too long, especially since Brandon has taken over most of this tale. This situation requires my attention, and certainly needs it as well. I have told Brandon that Megan will be okay, but unfortunately the feeling he has, it is correct. I must protect her, but in my current power state...I may not be able to...

Hmm, but alas, I may be fretting slightly, but it is better to retain the fret, rather than forgetting about it, I focus on the problem at hand. The two are powerful together but they are only powerful if they combine their powers. Brandon, on the other hand, is powerful enough, by himself. Megan, not so much. She has potential but nowhere near where she needs to be, especially if she is to survive. Plus, if Brandon isn't around, she may have...problems maintaining her composure, especially when focus is required to maintain her power.

Enough of that though, I need to start rambling on about something else now. Ah, Curi, yes, the love of my existence. I cannot wait to see her again, I just hope that my little girl is okay...How could I forget? Draven...My son...I remember vividly, he didn't take after my caring personality. This will probably be troublesome later on. I suppose I'll have to deal with my son on another day, when he eventually decides to show his face.

I am sure you, as my readers, are curious about Roger. See, the thing about him. He was and always has been...a doomed soul. He was one of the few young souls that left with me when I was banished, I was overjoyed when he made friends with Brandon. See, Roger as a soul, every time he was reborn, his life was always cut short. The most recent was truly a travesty, and set me beyond my usual mode of anger. I was surprised that after I had drawn from Mr. Walkers essence that he was strong enough to survive...then Brandon obliterating him, bringing him into in-existence. I was truly in awe of it all, especially wit what Brandon did with one-percent of my power.

This has proven to me that Brandon is able to survive...the joining. I found less than one-percent survive the process. It must be that their mental and physical state was not in the balance that the joining requires. Brandon's is questionable, but what sets him apart is that he is an astral child. This undeniable fact will help, yes, this will help my plan.

Hmm, now that I am thinking about it. I'm very curious about Megan at this particular moment, I will make a quick visit to see her.

As I stand up from my spot, I stretched myself out, and touched where my wings used to be. The dark angelic wings, that used to comfort me, have been gone for too long. I will regain my wings, and they will be bigger, better, and will strike more awe into the eyes of not only the demons, angels, god, and even in the eyes of my father. I must apologize, my ramblings must be starting to bore, to my destination, I go.

In a simple blink of my eyes, I am now standing in Megan's house, shockingly she has yet to notice my presence. Wait...something is not right here. I recognize this...I know this essence! I cannot believe this!

"Rebecca?" I asked, needing to know if it was truly her or not.

"Who are you talking about? My name is...Mystery." As she said her name, it was as if she looked sad, turning her face away in shame. I could not just simply see the sadness, but FELT it. You see, I know that this being is my daughter. Now the only problem that I foresee is, what is going to happen to Megan...

Rebecca, or Mystery, as she is now known, is currently using Megan's body. Now that being said, I do not know how Megan's body will handle this. It can go a number of paths. First and worst will be Megan joining the ranks of the dead, which will end up setting Brandon off.

Secondly, she will more than likely go into a coma. Granted it is not as bad, but will still end with the same result. That result being of death and an extremely pissed off Brandon.

Thirdly, she could suffer prolonged effects, throughout her life, or she will lose her abilities. Only time that will be taken into account, will be is if Rebecca/Mystery shares my ability. If so then Megan's soul will be shattered. In a nutshell, she will be a shell compared to what she was before.

Lastly, and hopefully the best, is that nothing will happen whatsoever. Unfortunately, that scenario, is likely enough to where a full body paralysis makes a complete recovery. I am sorry, but it is truly not that likely. Sigh, Brandon I am sorry little one...

"Mystery, May I ask you a question?" I spoke subtly

"Absolutely stranger. What is your question?" she asked and she has that smile, no not Megan's, but her mother's smile.

"Where are you from, M'dear?" I asked as my curiosity is beginning to get the best of me.

"I do not know sir, all I remember is being in a dark place, known as the Abyss. It was an evil place, so evil that my gift of sight was forcefully taken away from me."

Her aura changed, from a pure white to an blood red color, her emotions are controlling her? Interesting...I see now...Her soul has been tainted by this abyss. Now not only do I know of this, but now I have to find the source and return my little girl to her original state. By any means necessary...

"Little one, you are upset, I can feel your essence change, what is wrong?"

"It's you...you are a bad being, I was an angel and you are a demon. I feel like this because of who I am..." sadness engulfed her, I hate seeing her like this.

It's amazing how much she looks like me, bringing that wonderful warmth to my being. Her eyes matching mine, the bright green, her hair long, black, and fine. I see her old wings were removed, but unlike mine, hers were forcefully removed. Even I cannot imagine what she has gone through.

"I am against my kind, little one, I was banished from my home. Vengeance hath been established unto the foul." I smiled , "Also...you need not worry about me causing harm. It be the other foul beings that curse and make this world a wretched one to live in!" I stopped myself before my temperament had received and understood chaos.

If that were to happen? Well, Thomas Walker received that misfortune, not only once, but twice. My emotions are not something to be taken lightly, not at all...

"Oh...okay, I see now you have a good heart, but your aura says otherwise. I'm sorry while you were talking, I took a peek into your mind and soul." she smiled and continued, "You are a good being and are destined for great things. You will find your wife and daughter, when he you coexist with, turns twenty. Be warned though...everything when it occurs will come crashing down and he will join the ranks of the dead." I was in awe, she had an amazing power. An idea struck me...

"Thank you, for that information, but seeing as this world is dangerously ridden of demons. Why not come to my plane, and be at peace?" I asked in hopes she would make a smart decision.

"Thank you for your offer kind sir, but there is much I have to do on this world. I am sorry." she had then left Megan's body and appeared as her true self.

Wow, I still can not get over how she looks so much like me, but she has her mother's ears, lips cheeks, her rosy cheeks. It makes me truly happy to know that my little girl is okay. Then again, she is my daughter. Heh, she did survive the abyss for however long. Yeah I am pretty sure she will be perfectly fine.

"Okay, If you ever change you mind or need a place to relax, just think of me, and I shall open my path for you." I said my piece, she nodded, said her thanks, and disappeared off somewhere.

Shit! I forgot about Megan! With her body on the floor, I knelt down close to her body and examined her...

She's breathing, good. Brain function is looking decent too. Soul attachment...Damn it! Damn it!! DAMN IT!!! I have began to start losing it, somebody has to die now! Especially before it is too late. Megan is now with the legion of the dead. Someone or something, is going to take her body, and Brandon is going to do something stupid, really stupid I know it. Sigh, I am at a lost, for once, I do not know what the fuck to do!

It must be done then, I must find her soul, bring it to my plane, and have to deal with Brandon. My daughter...why did she have to choose Megan? Why did she have to destroy one of the astral children. WAIT! I know what to do now, but I hate to do this but I must...

Thoughts and visions of fire ran through my mind, ingesting everything, with a hunger that would not stop until it was completely obliterated.

"IGNIS CONLUCENT! VOLUNTATIS IMPERIO PRAEFUERIT!!!!" For those who do not understand Latin, it roughly translates into: FIRE! BURN BRIGHT! THE POWER OF MY WILL COMMANDS IT!!!!

As I roared my demand, the house was instantly set ablaze. Megan's body will not be used for evil purposes, since her body's attachment to her soul was severed. There was no possible way for her soul to reconnect with her body.

Now begins the real entertainment, I must now travel into the depths of The Abyss....
