Introduction:

Whispers in the Dark

Dark. Not the dark behind closed eyelids or the dark of moonless nights. This was a midnight that lurked only in the bowels of the earth, only in the depths of demon souls, pushing in on any source of light as though trying to devour it.

My name is…

Interwoven with a broken mockery of hope, the voices rose and fell in chaotic rhythm, a twisted prayer. The echo of a thousand voices, desperately holding on to the last shred of humanity.

My name, my name…if I can remember that…

A cry cut into the dark.

"I summon thee!"

The darkness stirred as the summons rippled through the abyss. The voices fell silent as the black swirled angrily.

"By Fire, I summon thee!"

Fiery symbols glowed in haphazard will-o-wisps, forming a flickering arch as the inky black attempted to smother the light - the order - that had invaded its realm.

"By Earth, I summon thee!"

Sand formed the threshold of the arch and whirled upward to outline the flames. If one looked closely at the cloud of earth, strange shapes could be seen coming together for a brief instant before scattering like dust in the wind. The dark shuddered.

"By Water, I summon thee!"

Water twined sinuously through the columns of earth, runes fading in and out of existence in its currents.

"By Wind, I summon thee!"

At odds with the violent entrance of the other elements, a playful breeze blew its way through the gate of fire. The voices had fallen silent… all but the one.

"By Earth, by Wind, By Fire, and By Water; by Gate and Key, I summon thee!"

Silence.

"Lilith, I summon thee!"

The door swung outward and the voices of the dark let out a collective shriek, shrinking back from the piercing ray of white light. The silhouette of a young girl was the only refuge the shadow could take.

"Lilith," Murmured a childlike voice, clinging to the name. "…Lilith…"

Author's Notes:

Hey guys, this is my first fic. I'll love you forever if you give me some constructive criticism!

I'm looking for a Beta. If you don't mind working with (mild) femslash, please PM me. I'm planning a Dragon Age fic soon, so I'm looking for a Beta for that as well.

Thanks for reading,
