Chapter 1 Prologue: In the Past

The battle was drawing to a close, or so it seemed. Jonathan looked around the once peaceful field. Trees surrounded this field and there was a single tree near the middle of it. This was once a peaceful place to retreat. Until they came, from neither heaven or hell, space or the middle of the earth. The monsters that they were fighting was neither alien nor human. Actually he didn't know what they were only that they must be destroyed. The battle at present had been bloody, death and fatigue could be seen everywhere. You could not tell who was winning. Swords were clanging, fire was blazing, and cries of death and pain were all around him. Amidst all of this Jonathan heard a cry of pain, a women's cry. Selena! He stopped staring at the scene around him and broke into a run looking for the one woman on the battlefield.

Selena had failed at stopping a cry of pain as her assailant cut her arm with a concealed dagger.

"You will not win little girl!" Proudly her assailant spoke

"I can try thought" she replied testily. Her hair matted, dirty and bloody, her once smooth pale skin dotted with cuts, bruises and scrapes. As she reached for her sword the monster lifted her by the neck and squeezed.

"Do you pathetic humans really think you can win?" coughing as she tried to relieve herself of the pressure on her neck. She ignored him looking beyond him. A flash of a sword to the neck later and Selena found herself falling into Jonathans waiting arms, coughing and spitting out blood as he held her close.

"Are you all right?" Jonathan asked worry present in his voice.

"Yes I am fine." Selena replied still breathing hard.

"Where is my brother?"

"I don't know, I lost him some time ago." Replied Jonathan

"we have to find him, NOW!" Selena yelled.

"What if something happens to him!" She jumped up taking a breath of air and wincing. Jonathan also jumped up.

"Selena Watch out!" In a desperate and angry attempt she grabbed the monsters hand and forced his sword hand to flip, making him hit his face with his own sword. Jonathan used the dagger he found on the ground to hit an enemy fighting with another guy. The soldier looked at him in thanks.

"No problem" he replied turning back to Selena.

"Go find him." He said. Selena put her hand on his face stroking it for a second, and then turned away. Before she could run away Jonathan snatched her hand back and pulled her in for a desperate kiss. It was a kiss of promise and fear.

"Come back to me." He said whispering in her ear. A last bit of peace between the two of them.

"I will" she said shedding a single tear

"No matter what happens today I will come back." With that she turned and ran towards that lone tree, not knowing the power her words had on a long told prophecy that had never been spoken aloud but only seen in dreams.

Selena ran, she had to find her brother. He had protected her from death from the time she was born, if she lost him she didn't know what she would do. So she ran, at last she saw him by the tree, fighting off five of the evil vermin that so plagued her world. William was strong, but not near strong enough to win this.

"William, look out!" She called out frantically killing the enemy herself,

"Behind you!" William turned around and dodged just in time from what would have been a fatal blow only to be blocked by two others.

"Shit." Was all he had time to say before the swords came toward him. Frantically but not wildly he wielded his sword. Selena had reached him and was helping him the best she could, but there was just too many. Many had been killed in this battle and all innocence was lost for him and his comrades. Only three remained between the two of them. Removing his helmet he could finally see the mob that had surrounded him. More then five, luck was on his side.

"Die fool" William said to his assailant as he ran towards him. As dropped to his knees and swung his sword so his legs would be cut Selena came up in front of him and delivered the final blow. They were sprayed a shower of blood. Which was red they didn't expect that going into battle. Selena turned and dropped to her knees and hugged William with all her might.

"Sssshhh" he soothed,

"it's going to be ok." Selena wouldn't let him go.

"You were almost killed, if I had not gotten there…"

"We are almost done here, then we will all be safe, all of mankind will be safe." William cut in. A shout was then heard and suddenly a dead body fell behind them. A look of shock on the monster's face and that of his killer. Jonathan looked at William then the world fell apart. William looked down what he saw was not what he wanted to see a sword, through him, but worse it had hit Selena too. Selena moved back, like being removed from the sheath, the sword came out of her. It had gone through her left arm. Thank God but William was not so lucky, he fell to his side and began to heave up blood.

"William!!" Selena cried, the battle was drawing to a close, and both parties fled without a care in the world.

"Oh my God" said Jonathan his voice shaky but cool. He sat down near Selena and looked at William. The sword having gone clean through him was red.

"Selena grab William's Shoulder and hold him still, this is going to hurt him." Selena nodded blinded by fear and dread. Gently yet firmly Jonathan put his hands on William and pulled the sword out.

"OHHH it hurts" was all Jonathan could muster, but then silence ensued.

"William, don't die on me stay with me!" Pleaded Selena leaning over him but to no avail, there was no way that William would survive this wound.

"Selena, Selena it's going to be ok, we will be together again, you know that."

"William don't say such things, your going to be ok now." Said Jonathan close to tears. As his best friend lay there on his deathbed. William looked at him and tried to smile, taking his hand he grabbed Jonathan's and Selena's hands in his.

"This is not the end. No matter what happen we have to return, do defeat this evil that has not yet been vanquished. Take comfort in the knowledge that we will be together again in the future." Selena be strong, for your time is coming too." He said in tears.

"I will see you soon, you both soon" with one last stuttered breath William's soul was gone, leaving his body in peace.

Jonathan quickly looked up away from his dead friend,

"what did he mean you will join him soon?" Selena looked at him tears in her eyes but would not speak, shock spoke in all her body and soul.

"Selena, what is wrong?" He said slowly moving to be next to his silent love. He touched her hand, the one that was still held against her stomach. Moving it Selena winced in pain but otherwise said nothing.

"What the.." was all he could say as he looked at her stomach, the sword that had killed her brother had also become her executioner. It had pierced her stomach and was bleeding almost nonstop. Selena started shaking,

"I'm sorry" she said slowly. Jonathan looked at her and the tears he had been holding back finally started falling.

"Oh Selena no, stay with me please!" He begged cradling her like a baby.

"I will try, but I…I" she stopped, weak with blood loss and shock. Remembering what William said Jonathan knew what he had to do.

"No Selena, don't try to stop what is coming. I will join you both soon." He said crying more heavily now.

"Selena, I love you, please do not suffer anymore." Selena weakly put up a cold hand against his face. Jonathan complied and kissed her one more time before she died. With numb hands he placed her next to her brother, and sat there on his knees in front of them for what seemed like a lifetime. Finally he got up and walked through the dead battlefield not thinking just walking and seeing everything that had happened to nearly single person on that valley of death. Jonathan closed his eyes briefly. Turning to face the setting sun, he was finally ready. Slowly he walked back to the lone tree where his future awaited. Offering one last prayer to anyone who was watching, God and mortals alike he took the same sword that killed his family and stabbed himself in the same place that had killed them. Jonathan collapsed from the pain but did not cry out. The rain started as night fell. The stars could be seen and he watched one, the mourning star they had dubbed it, until his soul finally left his bloody and broken body. As the three lay there dead, but not truly dead being held in each others arms. The world would have to wait until they returned in the knowledge that it was they who would have to destroy the evil that now faces the world alone. But no matter what happens they would always be together even in death. Until the time came for them to meet again in life.
