"That was one heck of a party yesterday, wasn't it?" Will said while walking to driving to school with the other girls. They car pooled to go to school so they could hang out a little.
"It was certainly for a good cause," spoke up Cornelia.
"What, to spoil you even more?" everyone except Cornelia snickered at that. Cornelia then proceeded to throw things at Irma with her telekinesis. Irma retaliated by firing small blasts of water at Cornelia. This of course led to chaos in the car.
"Knock it off you two!" screamed Will as she hit the breaks.
"Act your ages!" added Taranee.
"Yeah, stop it Corny!"
"Stop calling me Corny!"
Taranee and Will then tried to stop the fighting but were failing poorly at it. Hay Lin, who had just been sitting there, suddenly pointed. The others started looking too. All the while, Irma and Cornelia where still having a screaming match until they heard that cold terrible laughter. They all looked upon a tall figure in a black cloak was standing no more then ten feet in front of the car surrounded by an aura of shadows.
"Who is that?" Will whispered.
"I don't think he's the Ice Cream Man." Irma whispered back. Cornelia just glared at Irma for that.
"Come out and play little ones?" asked a very cold, disturbing male voice.
"GUARDIANS UNITE!!!" shouted Will as five lights went into each one of the girls. All the figure could think of was that revenge was finally at hand. After the transformation was complete, the girls flew out of the car and prepared to fight.
"Excellent, it will be more fun to destroy you when you're moving targets." The figure spoke. Then the figure proceeded to wave his arms and send waves of flames in their direction. They all noticed that the fire seemed to be off. It had a strange green color. Taranee attempted to stop it but she and the other Guardians were blown back.
"What happened Taranee?" yelled Will.
"I couldn't hold it back it was way to powerful." She replied.
"Well Mr. Inferno over their better watch out for me!" Irma said blasting the figure with a stream of water. He held up his hand and the water parted and hit to either side of him. He stifled a yawn.
"Hmm, I thought you might a least be somewhat more challenging than this. Oh well, I am tired of this game already so I think I'll just destroy you now." He spoke. The figure then waved his arms through the air and things around him started to, shimmer.
"Now this will be entertaining." He mused. Rocks started to roll into piles, miniature tornados appeared out of nowhere, puddles of water were rising up, pillars of flame erupted from the ground, and lightening jumped from his body. All of these anomalies started to coalesce into humanoid forms and there appeared to be hundreds all around them.
"Now I, Fenrir the Night Wolf, Destroyer of Day, shall… shall… Ahhhhh!" he screamed in pain. The girls were very confused and scared at this terrifying scream. Fenrir's body started to convulse at a terrifying rate and the elemental creatures started to explode all around.
"Quick in the car!" Will yelled over the noise.
"No argument here!" Irma and Cornelia said as one. They looked at each other but knew that this wasn't the time and flew into the car with the others. They all ducked as they could into the car and it shook violently and the sound of debris hitting the car could be heard. When the commotion finally stopped they got out of the car and looked around.
"Wow, this guy did quite a number on the landscape." Irma stated looking around at the wrecked street. The windows of cars and buildings alike were broken and everything seemed to be in disarray.
"No kidding," added Hay Lin.
"This Fenro guy is such a jerk." said Cornelia.
"Look what he did to my car," whined Will," My mom is gonna kill me."
"Better than him killing you." joked Irma.
"Maybe…" Will said doubtfully.
Taranee who was deep in thought suddenly said," Guys I think we should do two things," the others looked at her inquisitively," One; get out of her before anyone comes to see what happens and two; ask Yan Lin and the Oracle about this after school."
They all nodded in agreement and got in the car and drove away.

Groggily, Fenrir awoke on his thrown in the long abandoned ruins of the ancient castle he occupied. The last thing he remembered was the terrible pain and teleporting back to the castle. It was then that he noticed Mutten cowering in the corner. Fenrir lifted his hand and crooked a finger and Mutten came immediately.
"Yes... Master?" the little man asked.
"I am powerful in my own right Mutten," he mused," But I underestimated the power of the Darkness and I now realize that to utilize the full power of the Darkness that I must find outlets… lieutenants if you will. The only question is, who? "
"Maybe…" spoke Mutten hesitantly, under the glare of his master," Others who… hate… them too?"
"Of course fool! But that doesn't tell me anyone specific, does it?!" he growled.
"No… Master," said Mutten as he looked down and shook his head.
"I should destroy you right…" Fenrir spoke as it dawned on him," Meridian."

"Huh, so this is how it will begin, interesting," said a man in a cage said while looking into bowl of water. He had long scraggly hair and beard but a handsome and youthful face nonetheless. He wore black robes but you could tell, even in the light of the rooms one torch that they were worn thin form age.
"My freedom is at hand," spoke the man with glee.

A strange-looking, little old woman was walking down an old animal path deep in her forest home. She was stooped over and her skin was made of bark with leaves and the occasional toadstool on it but much of her body was covered by her forest green robes. Her hair seemed to be made of vines with leaves and the occasional weed or flower in it. The most striking feature about her was her aged and craggy face that had a look of calm and kindness about it. She suddenly stopped as the wind picked up and all silenced for a mere moment.
"Something is coming," she stated to herself and just started walking again. If at a slightly faster past.

Others to who knew how to read the signs of the universe were becoming aware that something, for good or for ill, was going to change the universe forever.
