Disclaimer: I don't own HP. sob You just had to shove it in my face, didn't you?

Screams echoed outside the room as the doors to the reception hall banged open. People ran frantically trying to find a way to escape there impending fat, and chaos reigned supreme. A dark shadow stood in the doorway radiating a horribly cold and empty feeling that brought the rooms occupants to the reality of what was about to occur. The three figures sitting upon regal chairs on the platform rose at this scene, two of them stepping forward and the tallest one spoke,

"What are you doing here Dareth? Your presence here is in direct defiance of the Lydian Treaty. Leave immediately before I am forced to take action."

The dark figured paused, as if to deliberate the consequences of his choice, then, in a eerie emotionless voice, said, "I'd rather not, you see, thanks to a most intriguing piece of information I just learned, I know quite well that you cannot fight against me today, and are really, in fact, completely unable to do much of anything but watch and I finally receive the revenge, and through it the power, that my people deserve".

"But we are allies!"

"I am afraid, king Dasan that I have found much more suitable allies." And with that he stepped aside allowing thousands of beings to entire to room, and begin to capture and/or massacre the occupants.

As both of the taller figures on top of the stage were caught, the male one called to the remaining young woman, "Kira, RUN!"

"But father!" the young woman yelled.

"Kira, you what is at stake!" The girl nodded and quickly tore to the other end of the hall, away from the approaching figures.

The teenage woman reached a tapestry hanging in the hall and touched one of the jewels adoring the cloth. A passage opened in front of her and she ran into the corridor, the doorway closing behind her. Kira ran through the hallway as quickly as she could. After a few minutes, she finally reached her destination. She ran inside and shut and locked the door. Kira grabbed her bag and shoved several books and a pile of clothes inside. She then put a bracelet adorned in what appeared to be miniature weapons on her right wrist, her other one already having several silver bracelets with tiny runes inscribed on them. Next, she donned a cloak and swung the bag over her head calling, "Azrael". A tiny jaguar with white wings tucked into its body came running towards her and jumped into the sac. Kira reached for a star shaped amulet lying on her desk then, pressing the center, disappeared in a swirl of lights.

So……whatcya think? REVIEW!
