**********

They had taken it upon themselves to save the world, and--though the losses were great--they had triumphed. Life would continue as long as the spell they had cast held, and the spell would continue as long as it was needed.

Each of them knew what was coming, and when she came they were prepared. Death was a price worth paying--the ultimate gift that could be given. It was both triumph and failure--beginning and end.

As she sprang into their midst like a thief in the night, their blood paid its price.

On the far horizon, a new dawn was born.
