A.D. 2002…

The spirit of Lambart angrily swirled inside the prison of Stanton's mind, untill it reformed a body. It had not lost all of it's powers when it was imprisoned, as Stanton had hoped; it still had the power to make things time travel, he knew if he tried to time travel himself out, he would loose the power forever, without seceding in doing anything. Slowly Lambart focused all his attention on the ring, and scroll lying on the ground behind Stanton; The Atrox feared only 3 things: The ring was one thing the Atrox feared, and the Scroll one other, the third, and final thing was the force of good, especially the Daughters of the Moon. As Lambart's energy increased the ring and scroll disappeared from the ground and reappeared in Lambart's hand. Then deliberately he opened a time portal, but not being very strong, he succeeded in only opening one to one day ahead in the future in a different part of the country. Lambart quickly threw the 2 objects into the portal as the portal shrank and disappeared Lambart slowly slid to the ground, his last power completely stripped from him....he was a helpless prisoner in the mind of the new Prince of Darkness. Only the good deed he had just accomplished for the Atrox, kept him from dyeing completely.


Chapter One………..

Marie slowly stood from typing on the computer as her friend Jean entered the room carrying Marie's mail.

"Hey, Jean! What are you doing with my mail?" Marie asked Jean, as Jean put the pile of mail on the corner of Marie's desk.

"Your mom told me to bring it up to you. You got a very interesting piece of mail...its an old scroll and a gold ring tied together!" Jean answered handing Marie the scroll. As the ring exchanged hands it let out a shower of purple sparks causing Jean to jump back in shock.

"Weird!" exclaimed Marie looking at the ring which was a large purple- blue stone in clawed prongs in front of something that looked like a candle, with an inscription that read : "Protegas et Deleas" which Marie immediately recognized as Latin meaning "Protect and Destroy", before untying it and slipping it on her ring finger on her right hand. Immediately it let out a stream of pure white light and slowly tightened until it fit her perfectly.

"Wow!" whispered Jean, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. "What does the scroll say?" She continued in a louder voice.

They were almost taking this as though it were a normal occurrence because ever since 3rd. grade when they became friends, they both new Marie was different, she could read and change minds and get premonitions. She could also speak, read and understand all forms of: Latin, Greek, Gaelic, and Spanish, even at the tender age of 6. Now she was 15, well… almost 15, and her powers had become even stronger, and she had learned to control them. Jean was the only one Marie told about her powers, and Jean never told anyone.

Slowly Marie opened the faded yellowing scroll, and was immediately confronted with an older form of Latin which when translated a few seconds later told the story of Pandora's box, the Daughters of the moon, who they were, what they did, who the Atrox was, what it did, and how to destroy the Atrox; it also said the ring on her finger protected her from all evil, the Atrox, and it's followers. All of this information she read aloud to Jean and then suddenly stopped. After reading the next sentence about the ring to herself first, she sat down heavily on her bed without saying a word.

"What is it?" Jean asked gently.

"The ring only does what it just did to the most powerful daughter of the Moon." Marie responded slowly, and then continued, "which means...." Marie left off and pointed silently to a sentence on the back of the scroll.
