Prologue

Hey guys! This is my attempt at an Avengers fanfic. So please be gentle :) DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Avengers or the Marvel characters (if I did people would hate me) But if you see anything you don't recognize, I will happily call that mine and I call copyright on what you don't recognize. So no using my characters unless you ask! Now on with the story!

(?'s POV)

I let out a violent shiver as the cold enveloped me and chased away the heat from my dying body. As my life force spilled from my lips, I started feeling weaker by the second and found my vision blurring and darkening. I watched as the shadows taunted me, laughing at my coming death and ceasing my breath. They danced around my eyes and spoke in mocking whispers. I could faintly hear the screams from above me as my people looked down at me, horror stricken as none could do anything to save their precious Queen. I felt the ghostly waters of the Ceasing Waters begin to curl around my body, pressing into my now paper like skin, causing breaks into my flesh as it slowly brought me down. The darker parts of the "water" touched my cheeks skin gently and seeped into the paleness, coming in to me with an agonizing burn. I didn't even have the energy to cry out. I could only have black tears pour out from my eyes, stinging my cool flesh with its hotness. The ghostly feeling of the water passed over me, pushing me into its depths and submerging me in the 3 colored water. I began to feel very empty and cold as my life quickly took a nose dive downward. Plummeting at incredible speeds. I closed my eyes as the water stung and filled every opening I had. I let my head fall back to accept my fate. And as the deadly liquid claimed it's latest victim, I felt at peace for the first time in years.

And like I was waiting for, my fate finally began to seal itself and I smiled as a darkness overcame me. Take me, I thought calmly. I've done my job. Now it's time I lay at rest, like I always should. Before my conscience slipped out, I heard a loud roar in my ears, like a strong current moving at the speed of light. I felt pressure building up in my brain and I started aching all over again. It became too much that I was screaming and writhing in pain at such unbearable pain. And just as quickly as it started, It ended with a loud ringing pop and my vision collapsing before me, finally letting me enter the death I had come to terms with at the very beginning. And now at last, I fell back into a deep deathly slumber.

"Hello... Just who are you?"
