Slayer Prologue - Covenant
Today Friday 31st of May 2002.
She stood at the edge of the cliff looking down at the debris that was once the town of Sunnydale.
She could see the fires burning near the old Sunnydale High School, the one that had been blown up back in 1999.
She could see the waves crashing against the docks, ramming the moored boats into the piers and smashing the buildings along the dock front. The Fish Tank had long since been demolished by the water.
She could see the small volcano poking it's way up through the asphalt near the UC Sunnydale campus. The lava already flowing from the peak and setting fire to the trees nearest to it.
She could see a small tornado touching down near the outskirts of town, demolishing what was left of the old drive-in movie theatre and continuing on to destroy the nearby empty housing.
She stood there and realised that this, all of this, was the result of breaking the covenant.
"What now?" asked a voice off behind and to her right.
She turned to face the four figures behind her.
"We fight the darkness, that's why we're here, that's our destiny," she replied, "We're slayers."

The Dawn of Time The day the demons completely lost their purchase on our reality.
"It's power is too great!" came the first voice, it belonged to a many horned red skinned demon. It was standing just inside a cave overlooking the center of power for the region, a place that would one day be called Sunnydale.
"It cannot be left when we leave," a second voice sounded, this demon was standing opposite the first and was grey with long fangs and what looked like bat wings on his back.
"But it must or the wars will begin again," came a third voice from deeper in the cave, this belonged to the most powerful of the three demons, he was green and wore a tattered red cloak.
"And the wars will rip the fabric of time apart," said the first demon.
"Therefore we must leave it behind," the third demon replied.
"It will need to be protected," the second demon said.
"There is no being powerful enough to maintain their grip on this reality," stated the first demon.
"What about the mammalian population?" the third demon slowly moved out of the back of the cave, he moved with a slight limp, and it hampered his movements.
"If we could distil some of it's power into the mammal, the mammal would be able to protect it," the second demon moved slightly so the third could move out of the cave.
"Then we choose a mammal." the first demon said.
"We must choose one with strong ties to this reality." the second demon said, looking at the third demon.
"A female." the third demon stated.
In the plains below they could see a pack of mammals hunting a lower demon, probably for food.
"That one," the third demon pointed to the woman at the head of the pack, "She is strong."
"Yessss," a forked tongue flicked out through the second demon's lips as it spread it's wings and took to the air.
It swooped down towards the pack of mammals, heading straight to the woman who was leading them, she wore black and white colourings and her hair was all tangled. She began yelling and shouting, the demon was sure it was a language but no demon could understand it.
The demon stretched it's arms out and caught the woman in it's arms. It quickly placed a hand to the mammal's forehead and used that part of it's brain to send the mammal into unconsciousness. The wings flapped hard to carry the extra weight back up to the cave.
The demon dropped the woman to the floor of the cave and stood back, "Do you have it?"
"Yes, and the spell we need," the third demon answered.
"Good," the first demon said, "Let us begin..."
The three demons began chanting in a lilting almost sing-song tone...
"Felc ettec ecnassiup ed al à zenerp, emmef ettec ed sproc el rus el-zellatsni, emuayor ec dneféd iuq tnemegagne'l regétorp ruop, Tnanetniam al-zenerp te ecnassiup al zenerp."
As the chanting grew in volume a wind kicked up in the cave and a glowing white fog began to form over the woman, the third demon turned and picked a box from behind him, it was ornately carved and encrusted with jewels. When the demon opened it there was a brilliant green glow emitted from it.
The glowing object in the box seemed to split a sliver of itself off. The sliver floated into the middle of the fog and exploded filling the fog with a green tinge.
The chanting reached a fevered pitch and the fog began to swirl faster and faster until it thrust itself down into the woman, who arched her back and screamed.
As she screamed the cave around them began to shimmer and the three demons began to fade, as they did their chanting also faded.
Within minutes they were completely invisible, however their chanting remained as did the woman's screams...
"Awake Sineya...first of the ones," came the first demons voice.
The woman's eyes flew open, she leapt to her feet and looked around, trying to find the voice she had heard.
"We are losing our purchase on this reality; we need you to protect The Key..."
