Forever
By Dragon's Dreamss
Prologue
A woman was sitting by the lake on the Hogwarts grounds. The sun was just setting, making the sky and the water look like molten rock. Small clouds lined the sky, illuminated by the last rays of light. The woman sat beneath a large weeping willow. Its green tendrils swept down to the ground, forming a small cage around her. Little shining droplets of water lay on the grass around her. The pine trees off in the distance blew around slightly in the fall breeze. The woman sat watching the small waves of the lake wash ashore, making white foam upon the sand. It was a very tranquil scene.
The woman lay down, not noticing the large shadow gliding away from the forest to her silently. It seemed to leave a path of death behind it. Plants it had tread upon withered and died. All small animals fled at the sight of it, but the woman had yet to notice it. A small rustle startled her. She looked around, but not in the direction of the creature. Not seeing anything, she lay back down under the tree, and looked beyond the lake at the setting sun. Still, the creature advanced upon its new target. A large cracking sound from behind the woman made her scramble to her feet and turn around to look beyond the tree's trunk. She saw the shadow looming ominously about two meters in front of her, and she froze in shock. The creature took its chance and pounced . . .
Meanwhile in a tall tower very close by . . .
Another woman sat by a small fire with an old man. She was holding a teacup while stirring its contents slowly. The dim light laid shadows on her lined face. The overstuffed chair she sat upon sagged slightly as she moved around, uncomfortable. The man sitting beside her gazed into the fire sleepily, he was barely even moving. The woman suddenly went rigid. Her eyes opened abnormally large, and her teacup fell to the floor and shattered noisily. The crash attracted the old man's attention. He looked at the woman in interest as she began to speak:
When the sun rises for the first time,
After a new day dies with the coming of a creature,
Two divine beings will join together,
And form as one.
Both will vanquish the snake from within its shadowy lair,
When the Phoenix feathers burn once more,
Never to arise from the black ashes again . . .
