Prologue

It was a blistering cold night but the lone figure didn't seem to care. The small bundle in her arms was safely wrapped in a blanket and sleeping through the storm. Her serene face belied the true story of her birth. She couldn't fathom why her mother had thought this was a good idea but it was her duty to carry out this deed. Coming up to a lone door of the orphanage she placed the child on the stoop and knocked on the door. Waving goodbye to the child she disappeared.

Back on the ethereal plan a very irate goddess was pacing in front of the gates of time. Didn't Corona say she was going to be here? On cue the said woman appeared. She was dressed in a pair of cut off jeans and tank top which was completely out of character for her. "So, what's with the outfit Corona?"

"As always a pleasure Kali," with a snap of her fingers the outfit was replaced with a dark green dress that hugged her curves and matched her deep green hair. "What does the counsel want now?"

"Not the counsel, me; it's time for me to go down there."

"Excuse me? I thought you couldn't go to the mortal plane until it was time for her to be born."

"Exactly, I was finally able to read my own page. There is a shifter down there that for some crazy reason decided to pray to me" Kali shook her head in amusement, "He has no idea what he has gotten himself into by addressing the mother of destruction herself."

"What about Thexa?"

"She can't do anything without me setting her free you know that." The black onyx around her neck shimmered in response. "I need you to cover for me, you owe me."

"I hate when you remind me of that, are you going to make me awaken her too?"

"No that's not your fate my friend." A lone tear fell down her pale cheek. "That is saved for another not yet born. The time of Revelation is almost upon us ." wiping the tear off her face she managed to crack a smile. "Watch over the book for me you are the only one I trust." Waving her to her old friend she let herself fall down to the mortal realm and for the first time in a millennium breathed in fresh air.

She found herself overlooking a small beach and in the distance she could hear the shouts of a game in progress. Making her way towards the sound she could see a group of kids playing soccer. A whistle blew and her attention was drawn to a man in a grey blazer jacket trying to wave down the kids. "Come on guys bring it in!" the voice caught her dead in her tracks and she nearly fell over a log in front of her. It couldn't be that he was the one she had heard could it? It had said a child would set her free, could she have read it wrong? She watched as he spoke with the young boys and felt her heart warm for the first time in centuries. She hated fate sometimes…

A year later Kali now Emily Ashburn was mulling around her apartment trying to finish dinner before Gavon arrived. She had tried to avoid him after the game but he had seen her and had actively sought her out. The persistent bastard had called her nonstop for a date till she said yes. He had said he didn't know why but he felt compelled to find out who she was after seeing her watching the game. She looked so lonely and mysterious. Emily had tried to dissuade him from falling for her but she knew fate was not something to screw around with.

After six months she finally had to admit to herself he was her destiny and she cried herself to sleep that night. Anyone who was unlucky enough to be tied to her was bound to die. She finally broke down one night and told him who she was and surprisingly he didn't care. He himself was a shape shifter and found it almost ironic he had fallen for a goddess. Their relationship bloomed from there but Emily knew it couldn't last forever. She sometimes wished she could wisk him away with her to another plane but she knew that was impossible.

Her mind kept wandering to the two pregnancy tests sitting in the bathroom and she felt a shudder go down her back. Was the time line progressing that quickly? She had no way of contacting Corona and she almost didn't want to. She could see the changes occurring around her and knew that this world's time was drawing to a close. The opening of the main door broke her out of her daze and she put a smile on her face. She was going to be a mother, end of the world or not she was not going to screw it up this time.

It would be another five months for her fears to become reality. The Earth was dying and she could feel the very soul of the planet giving in. Gavon and her had left the city for a small cabin up by the lake where she had first met him. The world was in chaos and she hated the fact she was to blame. The anger coming from the source was palpable to her and cut like a knife. It blamed her for its misery and was searching for her. Everyone was affected by this blind rage. Mobs had started forming going after anyone who was different and poor Gavin got caught up in it. Someone had found out he wasn't human and now they were after him and his unborn child.

Emily cradled the life growing in her and lamented at their fate. Gavin was pacing the main room and cursing under his breath. He hadn't slept in days and she knew he would never admit it but he didn't know what to do. It was only a matter of time before they found them then what? Keep running? Why was it that every time she found peace it was shattered? The pacing stopped and Gavin made it back to the bedroom but she could see he had made his decision. "We need to talk."

"I know."

"I know how to save you and the baby," Slicking the hair from his face he held back a shudder of tears . "You have to go back"

"Gavin don't make me do this!" Tears she didn't know she was holding poured from her heart. "If I go you know what that means. I will be stuck and you will never see me again."

"Yes but at least you will be alive."

"And you?"

"I am resigned to my fate. You are the only thing in this world that matter to me right now and if giving up my life will protect the two of you then so be it."

Emily couldn't help from laughing through the tears. Even she couldn't avoid the curse of her station. Gavin held her in his arms and for the last time she fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. When she awoke in the morning he was gone as were his belongings. She could have easily found him but she knew he thought it would be better this way. Wiping the last tear from her eyes she looked around one last time at their home and went back to the ethereal plane. She found herself in her old study and took a few deep breaths. She had forgotten her child wouldn't get back so easily demigod or not.

She hid in her quarters for the remainder of her pregnancy and tried her best to ignore the events of the world she had left behind. It was 2 months later when she felt the passing of Gavin and she silently mourned his death and the father her child would never know. As her due date approached she called for Corona and waited. Corona arrived in time to help her deliver a healthy baby girl but this was to be a bitter sweet moment for her.

Lying in the bed holding her precious child Kali watched her daughter doze off to sleep. Her Cobalt eyes fought to stay open but in the end even she couldn't fight Morpheus' powers. Wrapping her up in the blanket she had made for her she kissed her on her forehead handed her to Corona. "You know what you have to do."

"Kali this is ridiculous, she's a child."

"And for that reason she can't remain here. They would use her the same way they did Thexa and I will not have her robbed of her innocence. If I can give her a normal life in any capacity with our without me so be it."

"What did the book say about this?"

"Nothing it remains mute to me on this matter. I felt a powerful soul die yesterday. You were there weren't you."

"Yes she insisted she do it. It was a great loss."

"True but not for nothing, she will return I have seen that. Saturn's sacrifice was not in vain. My daughters future is tied to Saturn's and for that reason you have to do this favor for me. No one can know where she is not even me. "

"Can you deal with the consequences of what you are asking?"

"I am going to have to."
