Disclaimer: As much as i would love to own these characters, Oz in particular, i don't and i will make no money from this story, more's the pity.
Summary: Powers That Be are out to have some fun, but at who's expense?
Featuring Everyone's favourite Werewolf and the gang.
Set between season 4 and 5 of Buffy but before the end of season one of Angel. Confused? ( Never saw Buffy and Angel running side by side.)
Rating R: Only because of one scene later on, sorry guys!
Thanks to purplepebble22 for suffering the re-reads for me. You are the best and a great friend!!!!!! Loving your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgiveness
Prologue
She paced up and down the gleaming white marble floor, her robes fluttering with her every movement.
"Why such an urgent summons sister?" Her brother appeared in the dark archway.
"The powers that be have declared that the time has come. We must give the Blessed being the test. For over two centuries she has followed him and over the last he has earned her forgiveness in his atonement. Now the Powers That Be want proof that she has complete faith in him."
"Very well, we'll shall pit her against her worst fear."
"But brother, that will affect more than just these two beings, there are humans and a chosen one who have come to care for these beings independently."
"Are they of much important, sister?"
"I'm afraid they may be. The chosen is stronger than any before her. The Vampire Spike has killed three Chosen in his time, still this one defeats each attack he gives."
"And yet she has not killed him?! I see nothing extra ordinary in this one. The Powers That Be have spoken, sister, we must obey. What will be will be. If they are to survive this then they shall – together or alone."
His sister felt a twinge of guilt at his words. They were all strong but were their hearts strong enough to get them through. This test would test them all.
She gave a deep sigh. "What of the Lycanthrope? Who will be responsible for him?"
"He is responsible for himself alone as should be. They are lone beings, sister as you well know. It will return to it's natural way before long."
"And if he should fail to return to his old ways and be responsible for his and others safety?"
"Then it's fate will be as thousands before it. It will be hunted and destroyed by the guardian. Friends or not, duty comes first."
"Very well brother, as you see fit."
"Not I, The Higher Beings. The Powers That Be. I know you feel for this group of beings, dear sister, but we are not responsible for what happens when the Powers command action. All will be well if it is to be. You nor I can change the orders of the Powers, we can only obey."
She nodded at him as he raised his hands and clapped loudly and strong three times. She felt the floor tremble and saw a light pass through the room and out into the world. Silently she prayed to her Gods that all would be well. She had faith in the Blessed and the Chosen and their friends. Question was did they have the same faith in themselves and each other?
