Chapter 4

???? POV

The mysterious figure steps out of the shadows behind the unexpected meeting. 'I am happy with the progress my chosen, and his partner have made. They should be just about ready for the next part.' As he finishes his thought he suddenly turns his head and stares off towards the moon.

"It seems that the kiddies have finally figured something is wrong and are trying to get involved."

A smirk spreads across his face, and with a chuckle he slowly fades away. "Guess it's time to have a chat."

***********************************************************************

Standing in the middle of a void in space, the two Brothers stared down at their old world long abandoned. They could both sense something wrong there….almost chaotic about a new presence and it's associated energy signature. As they finally decided to return to find out what was interfering with things a voice suddenly stopped them.

"Now now boys, I would hate for you to get involved with my vacation." The man appeared standing behind them. "So if you would be good and just ignore the world like you have been….or even sit back and enjoy the fun, we should be fine."

Not understanding how any mortal could be there with them, the god of darkness approached, towering over the man. "Who are you to tell us what to do mortal? I should kill you for your arrogance."

Laughing, he raised a hand to his mouth, whispering into his hand in a language not even the Brothers knew. Slowly at first a tiny black dot appeared above his fingers. In seconds it was a miniature black hole about a foot in diameter. As it rose above his head it continued to grow, only stopping when it was fifty feet across. "We aren't on your old world anymore so I can do things here that would rip the planet apart." He says to the two before him. "And as for being mortal...well I haven't been that in...oh....centuries."

As he spoke, the God of Light spotted movement in the Swirling darkness before them. First one, then ten, then thirty massive tentacles exited. All flailing around for a few seconds, only to stop all movement at all as a Giant eye opened in the center of the hole. Almost forty feet in diameter, It stared at them with a pupil shaped like an eight pointed star. "You want to know who I am? It is pretty simple, I am the beginning and the end, Chance given form. I am what could be, and what should not be possible. I am Strife, Discord, Anarchy. I am the end of Order." He smiled at the brothers, watching a matched pair of expressions, both shock, and fear. "I am Chaos given flesh."

Neither the two Brothers knew what to do, even the impetuous Dark God stopped his attack before it started. They could feel the shear overwhelming power radiating from the beings before them, both focused yet unpredictable. "Good, now that I have your undivided attention, I will finish what I started to say earlier. I will have my time on your world, and finish my business while you two stay out of the way like you have been. After that, I will leave and probably never return." With this said he gave a sharp whistle, which seemed to both stab at the eardrums, as well as stroke the nerves in a strange combination. The tentacles vanished, and the Black hole closed over the great eye as if it was an eyelid.

With a nod of his head, the man took a step forward, fading from sight as he went. Then as the Brothers started to relax, his voice came back to echo across the void. "Do as I said and we will have no problems....however if you interfere, daddy will comeback to spank you both."

**************************************************************

Summer watched out of the ruby eye as the wolf watched her girls enter the bullhead. If she could cry she would, she missed them so much. Still for all the time she has spent with him, this animal's mind is not what she expected. He has an intelligence no normal wolf should. His skills, and fighting tactics were almost....human.

Even as she followed that thought, she felt a now familiar energy build, and a portal opened behind them. Out stepped the "man" who was helping them. A smile plastered on his face, he chuckled as he looked at them. "Well that was enjoyable, but now it's time for the next part of our plans." Reaching out, he held his hand over the wolf's head, who intern just looked up at him. "If you are going to continue, it's time for you two to be able to blend in with other people."

Summer gasped as she realized what he was saying." So I take it that you will be giving him a human body?"

"Got it in one, 'little flower'." the man chuckled at her." I will be giving him the ability to take human form, but as you are now it would be difficult to teach him so it's time for you to come back to the land of the living so to speak."

Raising his hand to the side, he made a body appear, and again Summer was in shock. It looked like her old body. "I know what you are thinking, but it's not your original. I had to leave that behind as evidence of your death to keep others from interfering."

Placing his hand on the body's forehead, then raising the other hand to point at the ruby eye of the wolf, and with a gesture Summer felt herself pulled out of the stone. With a flick of the finger he channeled her soul through him, and into the body. Smiling, he looked down at his chosen. "It will take her a bit to awaken, so now it's your turn. I will warn you, it could get uncomfortable."

Walking forward, he knelt down in front of the wolf, who was calmly watching him. Putting his hand over the ruby, he started to activate a latent power he had left in it for this very occasion.....and stopped with an amused smile on his face "Oh that's interesting, so you were hiding something yourself....from even yourself."

Activating the power again, he altered it to merge with what he had found there already. within seconds the wolf lay on the floor, unconscious, and the man sat back to wait.
