Chapter 1
Standing above the gate, looking at the eternal sunset that seemed to never change, Faith threw a rock out on towards the lake bored out of her mind. Sighing as she stands stretching, listening to the bones pop and her black wings creak. She turned and headed down the stairs to the ground. Avoiding all the stares that she always got, as she moved to her home, Faith wondered like always why she wasn't happy.
Opening the door she was greeted by the smell of pancakes being cooked, and some salsa music playing. Turning the corner she spied her roommate dancing and cooking as she moved. Tears springing to her eyes as her next sigh turned deeper, Faith moved, turning off the radio, startling the blond.
"Faith!"
"Sorry T, I just don't feel like doing or listening to anything today. How about Mrs. Summers? She might like some of your pancakes." Faith said walking away, "I am going to lie down" Closing her bedroom door with those last words.
Shaking her head, Tara looked on with sad eyes at her friends closed door, turning her head the front door as she heard a knock, she opened the door to reveal Persephone, and Hades.
"Hello Tara" Persephone said pulling the sad girl into a hug, as Hades walked past and straight to Faiths bedroom door, not even bothering to knock, as he walked in to the sleeping brunettes room.

Sullenly staring at his great niece, He wondered where it all had gone wrong, there were thousands of gods and thousands of dimensions and yet none made her happy not even the Elysian fields where most warriors went for their final resting place, not even the fact that he allowed her to be near the people she knew and loved on earth..
It was supposed to make her forget, to relieve her of any sadness that she feels, or at least that was what usually happened. Unfortunately his niece was as stubborn as her father, and had refused to drink from the river Styx, forever remembering her life, her past, and the future that would have been hers if she hadn't died. She was slowly withering away just like his wife told him. Hades hadn't believed her at first and knew that was his first mistake, after all when was his wife ever wrong. The god of the underworld just had to see it for himself. Looking around the room, seeing the numerous drawings of people he assumed was her family on earth, the one that struck him though was the one drawing of a woman holding a baby in front of a birthday cake with a single candle. He guessed who they were but knew deep down the truth that this was her family, her soul and her daughter.
Looking back towards the brunette he saw that she was now sitting up staring at him, letting him know that she knew exactly what he was staring at with the tears and look of longing in her eyes. Sighing, Hades sat on the bed and remembered that this was not the first time he was going to break his own rules for his family. Looking at Faith he also remembered that this wasn't just family this was the last to touch earths soil, to be born of it. She was the one who changed even what the fates had predicted. Lifting his left hand Hades moved a strand of Faiths hair behind her ear, kissing her on top of her forehead as he whispered, "Even angels fall for the best of em."
As a white light surrounded her, he pulled back, watching as she looked back at him with tears falling down her cheeks before disappearing. Exiting the room, Hades saw that his wife and two blonde women were in deep discussion, only stopping when they realized that he was in the room.
Looking at each of them he spoke in his booming voice. "It has been done" a crack of lightning flashing across the sky following his words.

Clouds gathered together as Buffy and Spike walked through a Rest field patrolling, it looked as if a storm was coming, but both felt as if that was wrong. As if this was something supernatural, Buffy breathed in deeply as her thoughts turned dark. She was just glad that Ares was babysitting tonight because she didn't like this feeling at all. Both being distracted by their thoughts as the sky lit up with lightning and thunder starting both slayer and vampire; Buffy decided that it was time to go home.
"Spike, we need to get back." She called to the still wondering vampire. Realizing that he had stopped and wasn't even listening to her she ran to where he was just as a lightning bolt hit the ground where he was standing, sending them both flying back away from it.
Spike was the first to recover, shaking his head as he looked towards the grave again. Tilting his head as his eyes spotted a figure on the ground that looked to be coming around to consciousness. Turning his head Spike spotted the blond still on the ground starring straight ahead at the figure standing in front of the grave that all scoobies knew all to well.
Faith awoke after being deposited on the ground none to gently. Having no clue what just happened but knowing that it was big she struggled to remember what it was. Getting up and standing as she looked around her, she noticed the words on the marker that she had landed by, it read.
